waitingforspring - I think you are right that my NOID is Fairy Tale Pink. Wow! And I've had this 2 years and I ordered FTP last year and it will bloom for me this year so I can compare them to each other. I can't believe I ordered something I already have.

Pretty stuff! Apparently purples are my thing today because I really liked ITTY BITTY BLUE and LUCID MOMENT, but they are all nice. Your picture of LOVE SPILLS OVER makes it look lovely from over here! Julie

Apparently pics dont work that way here so here are links. http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af162/tt67ls1/DSCN1097.jpg http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af162/tt67ls1/DSCN1100.jpg http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af162/tt67ls1/DSCN1103.jpg http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af162/tt67ls1/DSCN1101.jpg http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af162/tt67ls1/DSCN1102.jpg http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af162/tt67ls1/DSCN0452.jpg http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af162/tt67ls1/DSCN0435.jpg http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af162/tt67ls1/DSCN0438.jpg http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af162/tt67ls1/DSCN0429.jpg http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af162/tt67ls1/DSCN0388.jpg http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af162/tt67ls1/DSCN0374.jpg

Glad you have enjoyed them - I had a good time rediscovering them all over again as I flipped through so quickly. I'm going to see if DH or my MIL can take the kids away for a few hrs. so that I can enjoy them over a cup of tea in peace & quiet & plan some more. I think that I really noticed some recurring theme's in what I like - especially color wise w/ all of the green, purple, pink combo's. In fact the page that says Floral Essences w/ a pic of the lady in the green dress is about to help me round out my color palette for downstairs! Her green dress is similar to my LR wall color. Her basket: close to the shade of brown that I've chosen for the top 1/3 of my kitchen walls. The brick wall: My house is brick I was trying to pick a red for my DR but the consensus on the forum is that the deep reds I liked were too dark for my dark trim BUT when I saw that pic I thought "Why not a color similar to the flowers in her basket?"! The whole pic flows so I know it would look good in my house as I already have so many colors in the layout. Color inspiration can be found where you least expect it! And it looks romantic but still earthy. As for my organization: That's a long way coming but thanks! I just used a 3 hole punch one weekend & just shoved my tear outs into 2 binders that I found laying around. I slipped a piece of blank white paper between each article to separate them. I still have tons to add. Soon I will begin looking for some decadent binders to organize them in. A few for decorating, gardening & entertaining. Right now they're all mixed together w/ no rhyme or reason. I need to add the little white thingies to the holes to reinforce them & I've learned that if I break the binding of the magazine I can easily pull out an entire article out w/o having to use scissors to score the pages & risk an uneven tear.
