Okay...so you're still feeling you can't do a table..

Well, look at Karen and how she was able to do a

little vignette..and did a great job.

So...show us your stuff, and we'll 'Walk You Through It'.

How's that for starters?

Like we told Karen...No Pressure :)

Jane,

Great to hear from you. What are you doing the next few weeks? Like you are invited to come and stay at my home and do tablescapes for us till you run out of dishes to make them with.LOL I'm serious. I would love to have my table set like all of yours. I'm your biggest fan!

You could put up Christmas decorations if you get bored while I'm at work also. I would love to see my home look like all of yours.

As soon as my company leaves and I have some spare time I will show you and let you help me alright. BTW I truly appreciate any help I can get. If you think there is help for me here, then I'm all for it! We'll talk again about this.

Punk..
I was wondering what had happened to you, because you were quiet for a few days..so I guess you were just busy...that's good.

With all the beautiful creations that you paint, I don't think you really need help..it's just the 'Getting Started'.
I'm sure, like Karen, you've got > Hidden Talents that you're just supressing!! lol

When you're ready..do what Karen did..take some pics of your 'stuff' and we'll go from there.
Everyone here is so helpful and it will be fun to see another 'Tablescaper' born. lol

As far as ME putting up YOUR Christmas decorations...too Funny. I've got enough pressure with my own...lol

Well, glad to know all is okay w/y and that you're just busy w/house guests..

How do you hide your stuff on your patio?

A friend of mine got a Rubbermaid cabinet -probably six feet tall and two feet wide. It has two doors that open up to reveal about four or five shelves. She keeps beach towels in there, and for small things like goggles, sunscreen, etc., she uses small plastic rectangular baskets on the shelves. I always think it looks and works great. Here is a link that might be useful: Similar to this....

My scrapbooking friends envy me. My mother passed away about a year ago and I got about $2000 that I wanted to spend in some way to remember her. So I had custom cabinets made (desk height with drawer base units and upper wall cabinets) and changed a third bedroom into a scrapbooking and sewing room. One wall section is about 7 feet and I have it set up for scrapbooking and the other wall is about 5 feet and it is for sewing. I had the cabinets custom made because I am short and the only readymade cabinets I could find would have had to be kitchen counter height or vanity height and those wouldn't have been the full 2 feet deep. I'm already running out of space though, and I think it might have been wiser to get a utility type cabinet to store paper and and larger items in. The only bad thing is I seem to be addicted to scrapbooking and buying more. I guess I better get busy scrapbooking all those pictures mom had! I enjoyed seeing/hearing what areas other people had. I will try to get a picture of my area. Ruth in Iowa

One day many years ago, we went to a lady's home to pick out an anniversary cake for my in law's 50th wedding anniversary. She had her kitty litter pan on top of her refrigerator!!!!!! Now as to what is on top of my refrigerator is the same as what is on my tall freezer in my kitchen, empty large baskets and two baskets have great big stuffed chickens in them! Strange I know. Sue

"Just wait until you have to pack up all that crap and move it." My SIL just bought a retirement home so they are decluttering their current house as a preparation for selling it--she keeps telling me she can't believe how much STUFF she's got to get rid of. When I go to their house I always admire how it looks nicely organized and without extraneous things all over. However, I also admire her tons of closets and storage space which she says leads to keeping, you guessed it, all that stuff LOL. I've decided I will play a mental game this summer and pretend we have to move; maybe that will be my motivation to get rid of much unnecessary and unused stuff in our house! I use the holidays and shopping for gifts to satisfy any yen I may have to be a retail hunter/gatherer. The past few years I increasingly feel as if I am gorging myself after staying on a careful and healthy diet; by the time January comes I feel so psychically bloated from all the shopping /buying that I need another year to rest up and recover! It's interesting to me to watch my young adult daughter who is setting up her first home. She loveslovesloves Home Goods, Marshalls, Pier 1 etc. And when I go with her I usually find stuff I could easily buy. I have a rule that I can't take anything from those places home the day I see it. That usually short circuits the purchase, I'm rarely motivated enough to fight the traffic and crowds to go back a second time!

Hey Punk, I love that idea. Lets get Sly Slinkey to travel around doing our tables and helping us decorate.
It'll keep her occupied and out of mischief. LOL.

I keep thinking that "if I can do it, anyone can". So all you ladies who haven't yet, may as well start, cause its true!

hugs, Karen

Karen...
I think you're the 'Queen Of Sly' !!
and also a 'Tom Sawyer'... >>> 'keeping ME occupied and out of mischief' !!! LOL I Don't Think So..

Now for sure, YOU WILL DO MORE vignettes.. to keep YOU out of trouble!
We really need to encourage everyone here, who's dying to do one... but are too shy to take that first step...
We need You to tell everyone that you were the 'First Case Study' and how well you did!!
You will be the 'Vignette Dish Ambassador' !! or
aka... 'HVDA'

Jane and Karen,

Jane, so sweet of you to be concerned for my MIA. I try to sneak on here even when I'm so stinkin busy but sometimes it just doesn't happen. We own two businesses and have a ton of company so sometimes I meet myself coming and going.LOL

I think I'm feeling some pressure and I want to play more with you ladies than I have time for. So I'm really disappointed in you Jane, for rejecting our offers to come decorate. It was a nice try though, don't ya think?

It's so great to come here in the evenings and leave work out of it. I need to get it in my head what goes on at work, stays at work but it doesn't work like that when you own it.LOL

I can't believe you ladies are still carrying on!

Karen...What made you think I was drinking?
Was I slurring...drooling...typing irratically?
Oh.. I did notice I called you the new 'Holiday Vignette Ambassador'..
but then I left off the 'H' when abbreviating your new title!
I guess that was a dead give away!
You're still not off the hook..

punk...poor girl.. it's hard to have fun and
unwind while trying to run a Business...but two! geesh
It's good that you 'step away' and try to clear your head
every now and then..and this definitely is the place for it.
The ONLY way to help with that is to get you to think about a little vignette..
and as someone on this site said...
go shopping in your cabinets to put something together.
We've got plenty of time till you're ready.
I saw your fall decorations and will comment on there...
I did see LOTS of wonderful stuff in your cabinets too!

Oh..and on helping you and Karen w/your Decorating...I'm on a deadline now...and I need help!
I'm doing our Christmas Family Reunion and it's the week after Thanksgiving...
so I've got to get hopping with dragging all the decorations out and have everything done..
yikes..wasn't it just summer a few weeks ago???

Gosh Punk, I am amazed you have time for anything with two businesses. AND a lot of company. How do you it, Girl?
And then to decorate your home so prettily on top of all that. I'm sure glad you can find time for us here! And hopefully we are a good 'escape' from Real Life for you.

Slinkey, get busy decorating for that Christmas family reunion...so little time, so much to do. LOL. We can't wait to see what all you pull off for this big event.

hugs, Karen

Punk..show us your stuff..
