I didn't use the body wash for awhile as I wasn't used to it..and then I grabbed it. It was just sitting there on the tub...and I LOVE THAT STUFF! I am totally hooked on both products. <br />So...point being...you have a believer here! <br />Now I find hints on how to clean my faux plants! YOU ARE THE GREATEST! <br />Thanks so much, Donna! <br />~smiles~<br />MonaWsprsweetly Of Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990765326246470929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3280528125557496175.post-30799433311847727722009-06-04T22:21:45.228-05:002009-06-04T22:21:45.228-05:00thanks for the tip!thanks for the tip!Tootsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313167135644565141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3280528125557496175.post-79042018887251725402009-06-04T21:42:21.554-05:002009-06-04T21:42:21.554-05:00Hi Donna!

I'll look for that product. I have terrible allergies and probably should have no florals or greenery and have all hardwoods only. <br />I suffer constantly with my sinuses but I just don't want to load up on medicine either. Sigh... <br />They get better at different times of the year. I know cleaning the greens will help me out.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words on our home office as well. I'm glad you know what a "me wall" is. I didn't want to seem like I was bragging. Our husbands careers become a big part of us military wives.<br /><br />The drapery package said they were available online in different lengths. Mine are the 84". I'm not sure how long you will need having 10 ft ceilings.<br />I hope you get them! I am really happy with quality as well the bargain price.<br />Maybe one day after his retirement I'll try some custom...Dreaming here. :)<br /><br />Your newest arrangment is gorgeous! <br /><br />Talk to later my friend.<br />~Melissa :)Melissa Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112514946365838427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3280528125557496175.post-73104745031351830342009-06-04T11:03:51.590-05:002009-06-04T11:03:51.590-05:00Hi Donna!

As far as your blog being "lame" don't even think that! I always have fun when I visit!!! (but I relate!) How pretty would some "faux" ivy be coming out of that memoriable box!!?? I am kicking myself every day because I had my dad's old work lunch box and because I was a stupid younger person I got rid of it when cleaning the garage! I urge you to hold onto this as long as possible!!!!

I wish I could convey how much Nags Head means to me...I just love the place so much and feel at peace when I am there. As soon as I cross that bridge over Currituck sound leading to the ocean I feel my troubles just sliding off of me. I hope we will get back in the Fall. xo LynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3280528125557496175.post-11061072208100670182009-06-03T16:42:42.140-05:002009-06-03T16:42:42.140-05:00Hi Donna...
