Fishy, I am giggling at the magnetic locks, those must be pretty funny to watch adults try to get into! April! I am so sorry, I didn't congratulate you on your new walking baby! Congratulations! That is great news! Well, except for you needing her to sit still right now, lol! Letha, Mmmmmm, cookie dough body butter, sounds really yummy. Careful now, those little men may try to take a bite out of you! No big plans for me this weekend. My girlfriend might be coming over to visit tomorrow night. Both of us are so busy anymore it is hard to find time to get together like we used to. Might take the kids to see B Movie on Sunday. Medo, I have been wanting to have a greenhouse ever since I saw Ed's cousin's. He built one for his wife. He's an electrician and installed the mechanical windows that are hooked up to the thermostat. Installed a sprinkler system and tons of racks. It attaches to their family room by sliding glass doors and she can just step right in from the house. Her garden is amazing! She has the most gorgeous yard. They have giant pampas grass, elephant ears, a pond, arbors, gorgeous perennials. Absolutely beautiful. She is able to start her plants so early in the greenhouse and they are so big and healthy come spring. Lucky duck!

Awwww, Klick, I am soooo glad you liked your box of pampering goodies! That file sponge is the kind that is for calluses on the feet. I picked one up for me and started using it and it works wonders! I have nearly gotten rid of all my rough patches from barefootin' this summer! LOL! Should have gotten one ages ago. My feet don't ache so much now! I may have worn it out already! I knew those cookies wouldn't last long! LOL! Whew! Glad I figured out how to pamper! Happy Bathing! I know how bad you want to take a good soaker! Had surgery on my wrist a few years ago and couldn't do the full shower thing for a while! That first one was a good long one after all the sponge washing! Phfltbtt! Back at you bunny! I seriously worried that I would blow it! I never do any of this stuff for me and haven't the faintest clue as how to go about it except for taking a break and talking to you guys! April, I am so sorry that she has Mono. I had it when I was 15. No, not from boys! Sharing drinks in highschool is what did it to me. All girl's highschool. My throat was totally miserable. I couldn't eat or drink anything. The doctor recommended Chloraseptic spray and it numbed my throat really well. I was finally able to have smoothies and slimfast after that. Becki, I meant to take my camera with me today! I keep forgetting to do that. I still have some desserts left so maybe I will put a little plate together tomorrow and snap a shot of it. The raspberry marble cheesecake was so yummy! The ginger cookies were a huge hit! The fruit platter looked really nice. The other stuff was pretty basic: brownies, chocolate chip cookies and plain cheesecake. We did 2 non-alcoholic punches, coffee and tea. The table looked really nice and the group was very happy with everything. All in all a good day. Got another booking yesterday for December 21st. This will be a company holiday luncheon. So things are going well. I am glad to hear that Lilly is feeling better! I think you are right about it being a virus. Fevers don't usually accompany bad food and the vomiting usually happens within 45 minutes or so of ingesting bad food. Trust me, I gave Ted bad turkey for lunch when he was 7. Within an hour of lunch he was hurling his brains out. Poor buddy!

Oh wow...those tiles sure are pretty. Like crackle tiles but even better, almost pearlescent. Sigh...I love living vicariously through other people's renos. And your kitchen is a stunner. I immediately think of mamadadapaige's kitchen when I hear "herringbone accent above the kitchen". She had 2x6s I believe, and did a thinnish pencil rail that's flush with the backsplash. I liked how she did hers. I think you should do a simple pencil liner because to me, the whole point of using the same tile for your herringbone accent is to do a subtle change, which calls for a subtle frame. If you did your thick picture frame it's like "look at me!! i'm different than the other tile" which makes sense if you did an accent with a totally different tile size. But you're doing the same 3x6s but in a herringbone pattern, instead of the subway pattern which goes everywhere else. So after my long explanation I say - do the thin one. For the backsplash on the peninsula/window wall, you know what I'd do? I would only put the backsplash on the three walls within the bay window cubby area and stop them there. I'd take them to just under the window trim. To the right of the bay window, carry it the same height (to the bottom of the window trim) on the little piece of wall under your outlet (the outlet to the left of your coffee maker), then pull the backsplash up to below your cabinets on that sliver of wall above the coffeemaker. That, to me, would accomplish several things: It would keep that nice blue paint showing on that window wall as I personally wouldn't want to cover it up, give you the backsplash you need to visually relate/connect that window wall to the range wall, and of course provide the protection you need above the sink from water splashage. To the left, I don't think you need to put any backsplash past that left bay window. Just keep it all bare and painted. I don't know if I explained that right...hopefully it makes sense.
