THANKS for such a nice compliment about my blog! :-) It makes me so happy when people enjoy my posts that much!!<br /><br />I don't know how far you got, but my most recent post has the link to our new forum, if you think you'd like to join....it's small so far (it's only a couple of days old!), but hopefully a few more "favorite" people will join (who said they would), and then we'll have a core group of THE BEST people -- it will be so fun!!! So if you enjoy forums, think about it -- it would be great to have you there too! :-)Lisa Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503171275586447924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909416887456102958.post-38917160432726689622014-09-25T11:27:47.458-07:002014-09-25T11:27:47.458-07:00I can't believe I just now found your wonderfu...I can't believe I just now found your wonderful blog - happy day!

Li...I was waiting for you to chime in, Grace!!! :-)<br />Like I said to Cheryl, creating a forum will be something that will give me joy, so even if it takes up some of my extra time, I'll have an excuse for not getting to my hated housework -- that right there makes me want to create SEVERAL forums!! LOL<br /><br />Thank you for your thoughts and prayers! I really am SO HAPPY that you and most of my other favorite people from the forum are here on my blog!! You are ALL such a large part of the JOY I feel while going through my day, and I'm so grateful to have found such wonderful people to have in my life!!! :-)Lisa Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503171275586447924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909416887456102958.post-30683344311234323322014-09-01T08:32:41.036-07:002014-09-01T08:32:41.036-07:00Hi Cheryl!!!
I owe you an email (or THREE!), but ...Hi Cheryl!!! <br />I owe you an email (or THREE!), but I'll cheat a little and reply to your comment first! :-D<br />You are SO sweet to always worry about me, but creating a forum is EASY, and it's actually very self-serving -- I want our forum back!!!! I think it will be easier and less time-consuming than trying to maintain my blog.....AND.....I will have no problem asking any of our dear friends on here to pick up the slack if there's something I can't get to at any point. I really think Kristine's comment to Karen was whiny and an exaggeration as far as the Forum goes. And she could have asked ANY of us to step in and take it over (and even asked us if we wanted to pay for the upgrade ourselves!), and we could have all happily taken it on! >:-[ (like that face? haha!)<br /><br />Which brings me to my next comment --- what a wonderful compliment from you that I should be part of the magazine (you always think more highly of me than I deserve, dear friend! :-) .....however, I have NO interest in working for APP/Kristine. I wish her well as far as the magazine goes and personally, but after what she did with the forum, some changes in her I've heard about vaguely, and Donna's comments about how she treated her magazine staff -- I could never work for her. Plus, I like anything I do to be completely FREE for anyone to see and find if they want to!! :-)<br /><br />But I take that as the highest compliment from YOU, and your thoughtfulness warms my heart -- like ALWAYS! Thank you, dear friend!!!Lisa Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503171275586447924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909416887456102958.post-30467506647022813672014-09-01T08:15:14.577-07:002014-09-01T08:15:14.577-07:00Kathleen, thanks for your comment, and I'm so ...Kathleen, thanks for your comment, and I'm so happy you're here! :-D It's great to meet you, and I love that you found me through Pinterest!! I was so surprised to find myself on there last year -- it made me feel like a mini-celebrity! LOL <br /><br />I love being able to inspire or excite others with my ideas and projects, and I WILL be putting tutorials up for most of the things I made (at some point....!), but in the meantime, feel free to ask me anything about making them if you need to! :-)<br /><br />It's great to have you here!!!Lisa Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503171275586447924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909416887456102958.post-54318264623473000282014-08-29T18:41:13.371-07:002014-08-29T18:41:13.371-07:00Lisa, I love all of your re-dos, make-dos, creatio...Lisa, I love all of your re-dos, make-dos, creations, ideas, etc.... you are so creative and talented! TFS with us! As much as I would love to have our prim forum back, I agree with Cheryl in that with all you've been through lately, please don't take on so much that you don't give yourself time to heal. I'm behind you no matter what you decide. You just take care of yourself... okay? <br />Keeping all of my prim friends in my heart and prayers. <br />(((Prim Hugs))) <br />Marsha GraceMarshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03484847530068332631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909416887456102958.post-31106999133693326092014-08-29T09:04:21.319-07:002014-08-29T09:04:21.319-07:00Good Morning, LisaDiane:

You are so creative!<br />I can not wait to find the time to go back and read slowly what you have done and how you have done it. Good job!<br /><br />I am not computer competent, so I will have to defer to whatever everyone else decides regarding a new Forum. I emailed Kristine Berg regarding reinstating the Journal Forum, but have not heard back from her. Please do not take on more than you are able, at this time. <br /><br />And, there is nothing wrong with your husband calling you from work, or as he is one his way home. My DH has been doing that for 45 years now. I love it!<br /><br />Cheryl (allthingscolonial@hotmail.com)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909416887456102958.post-7677221402575019172014-08-28T21:26:29.337-07:002014-08-28T21:26:29.337-07:00<3<3<br />duntiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17120178120507382186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909416887456102958.post-41372793354368801362014-08-28T20:35:52.914-07:002014-08-28T20:35:52.914-07:00Hi LisaDiane,

You are so inspiring because of your "can-do" attitude! I love that you have put "hardwood" floors in your home using plywood "boards", and this last post with all the great projects you have either made from scratch inspired by photos you've seen, or primming up thrift store finds are so great! Don't ever think you are boring your readers with these posts! I look forward to tutorials on these! So happy to meet you!Kathleen from Racinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07936899625166032794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909416887456102958.post-65308196939678726702014-08-28T06:37:12.086-07:002014-08-28T06:37:12.086-07:00Thanks Duntie!!!

You always make me feel great about whatever I do or post! :-)<br /><br />I'm going to try to make a decision about WHICH forum to use by this weekend..... there are too many decisions for me, I'm afraid to make the wrong one!! I would hate to create a whole forum, get everyone on there, and then find out there's some hidden fee or annoying pop-ups, or it's really ugly or hard to use! I've emailed some questions to two other forum sites that look really promising (which is why I'm worried I'm missing something BAD), so hopefully I can decide after someone gets back to me.<br /><br />I'll keep everyone posted!!! :-DLisa Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503171275586447924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909416887456102958.post-76083002518248787712014-08-28T06:25:54.597-07:002014-08-28T06:25:54.597-07:00THANK YOU for your comment, Lorraine!

I really appreciated your kind words, and I'm so glad you enjoyed my marathon post!! :-) <br />I am so relieved to be feeling a little more like my old self again, it was fun to dig out all those pictures to share!<br />I still have tons of them, showing HOW I created most of those things, and I'm thinking I might come back at some point and post "tutorials" for some of them, so maybe that would help you create something, if you wanted to try...? But many of my FAVORITE things have been re-dos from thrift stores, so keep up the treasure hunting!! :-DLisa Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503171275586447924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4909416887456102958.post-65468080796924343862014-08-28T06:10:57.976-07:002014-08-28T06:10:57.976-07:00Thanks Karen!!

You have such a youthful drive and attitude, and you LOOK younger, that I would never guess that without you saying it! You are my role-model of how I hope to be when I am a GREAT-grandmother (if I live that long)!!! :-D<br /><br /> And DO NOT WORRY about Facebook, that's not even a remote possibility for me -- I'm not on it and never will be!! LOL So it's strictly traditional forums that I'm looking at, and actually, I found two other "forum" creators that I'm looking in to, so maybe we don't have to get on Yahoo groups after all....we'll see. I could figure it all out more quickly if I didn't have all this pesky housework I'm supposed to be doing....!!

You still amaze me at what you do. everything is beautiful. I said I loved your idea about the forum which ever way you wanted to start it. Just being able to connect with everyone will be great. We don't need fancy. Thank you so much for thinking of us.

Thank you...A wonderful post of words and pictures. Thank you for sharing all of it. I never tire of seeing primitive creations. I probably spend too much time on the computer just looking at them. Today you blessed me. I would love to work with wood, but do not have anyone who could guide me. I do, however, try to get to the thrift stores and find wood pieces to "prim". Truly, I loved this post. Keep it up and thank you for sharing.

I do enjoy the times (like this morning) when he golfs with his buddies because then I CAN DO THIS HERE! LoL... But mostly we love being together and work on things together. We even grocery shop together...now we aren't stuffy kiss kiss together but just love each others company...period! Not much of that around these days so I was happy to see your post.<br /><br />Now what a lot of beautiful make overs and new makes - I love them all.<br />Oh, I have several of the table risers and use them everywhere, they are great for displays, hot foods - whatever.<br /><br />Now for a forum - I'm for that. I posted in your last post that I prefer it.<br />I get on FB but it's not my favorite place to be to let it all hang out. I think on the forums we could post heart felt things and the whole world could not see it - it was personal to those that belonged. I do short family things or things I made on FB - not air dirty laundry or tell sadness.<br />So that's just me and my thoughts. Not sure if I'd join on FB, well, I would join, just not sure if I'd be there as much.<br /><br />Blessings to you<br />KarenMy Colonial Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16066446310464424766noreply@blogger.com
