Hmmm…

Written on February 28th, 2010 by Jamie Lee2 comments

Does anyone know what WordPress means when it says: “Unable to create directory…  Is its parent directory writable by the server?” All I know is that it means I can’t upload photos which means that it is impossible to really show/tell you guys anything. Hopefully it will all be sorted out soon. In the meantime, how was everyone else’s weekend? I’m working hard to compile all my tax receipts. See, there is definitely a reason that I need to be able to show pictures! Just know that I had a fun filled, productive, home improvement weekend and I can’t wait to share the progress with you guys!

xoxo,

Oh, Happy Day

Written on February 13th, 2010 by Jamie Lee2 comments

I’ve been between a headache and a migraine for four days now. Each day I wake up hoping that it’s gone and then feel a horrible pain. Each day I desperately hope that it won’t turn into a full-out migraine. But yesterday, despite everything, Meg was able to make me smile by giving me my first blog award. I’m so flattered and excited to know that someone out there enjoys the things that Peter and I are putting out into cyberspace.

Blog Award

So, here are ten of the millions of things that I’m happy about right now:

1. My darling fiance

Peter

2. My friends, family, and future family who always care about everything in my life, both big and small.

Making candles

3. Our silly puppies (of course they fall into the above category as well)

Happy Boys

4. Our cappuccino maker and homemade muffins

5. Silence–I listen to music all day every weekday for my job. It may sound fabulous but I can’t tell you how much I appreciate silence now.

6. Fondue–it’s my favorite food.

7. Thrift Stores and Vintage knick-knacks

Wedding Votive

8. Crafting and Refurbishing Furniture

9. Fun Blogs

10. Traveling

Now on to you! Here are ten of the blogs that I absolutely adore–other than House Notes, of course. (You know I can’t say “absolutely adore” without thinking of It Takes Two? Hmm…)

  1. Thrifty Little Blog
  2. Goths in Hot Weather
  3. The Yellow Front Door
  4. Russet Street Reno
  5. Sfgirlbybay
  6. White & Wander
  7. Little Green Notebook
  8. Adventures in Renovating a Brooklyn Limestone
  9. Welcome to my Humble Ablog!
  10. ~Ruffles And Stuff~

On an unrelated note, I’m using wordpress.org and for some reason my blog doesn’t recognize when other people link to me. Has anyone else experience this problem? I have a section of my dashboard dedicated to this but it doesn’t work. It’s bizarre. Anyway, if you have an answer, I’d love to hear it!

I hope everyone has a fabulous day!

Look at Me!! Look at Me!!

We’ve experienced a complete blog makeover! For the past few months Peter and I have been working with a fabulous graphic designer to transform out little piece of the web into something beautiful. DangerDom Studios did such a great job interpreting my wants and needs into a beautiful space. It’s such a joy to log on and look at something that feels soothing rather than scraped together. Since we all love a good before and after, here is a screen shot of the blog before and one of it now:

Blog Before Photo

Blog Makeover After Photo

Pretty amazing, huh? It’s a fresh new start for a fresh new year. I love beautiful design. I use Google Reader to stay on top of all of my blog reading but if a site is really pretty I will visit it everyday. I just can’t get enough of looking at pretty things. So you can see why I’m so excited about this beautiful space that DangerDom has created for us to share our words, thoughts, and home. I hope you’re happy with it too! Happy Reading!

We’re Going through Changes

Written on October 25th, 2009 by Jamie Lee2 comments

Or at least our blog is. We’ve been playing around with new headers, the colors of ours ads, and plugins. What do you guys think? I don’t know about you but I LOVE visiting beautiful blogs and websites. Somehow the aesthetics just make me happier. We’re a far way off from where we’d like our little blog to be but as we make changes we’d love to hear your input. Does the twitter plugin that I just installed along the sidebar drive you crazy? Let me know and I’ll make it go away. Basically, we’re just trying to do whatever we can to make our blog more user-friendly for you.

We have some really exciting content to share with you this week so keep visiting!
