House Envy



Do you ever struggle with house envy? I know I do. I am so GLAD that I have a house, but I still feel a tid bit of jealousy when I visit places of residences that I will only be able to live in when I dream at night. So, I've decided to focus on the things in my home that I absolutely love. The first thing is a vase I inherited through marriage from my mother-in-law. It is a glass vase. Last fall I cut some snowballs (that's what we called them in our family, I'm not sure what they are really called) from our yard and dried them. I then took some sea glass I found when Joel and I were in Boston and sprinkled it in the bottom. Lastly, I tied a ribbon I had received on a Christmas gift around the top. I now LOVE looking at this arrangement. It makes me happy...and I therefore have a little less house envy:)
