Very cute. I've always admired your shabby chic lady in the garden. Would love to find something like that for mine. I love to hear of churches helping widows and orphans. It's as God intended it to be. And don't you feel bad about accepting their help. To not do so would be robbing them of a blessing.

As a fellow homebody and DIY-er, I can relate to your apprehension about having people come to help. I think that it is often more difficult to <i>receive</i> help than it is to <i>give</i> help. Just try to remember that they are being blessed! <br /><br />No worries about posting during this busy week, but I'll look forward to seeing the finished project!

We will have to negotiate a new color as it is time to move on from the coral color we have right now. I guess any pastel color would be good for me. I hope all goes well and do let people help you move stuff out and away from the house if it is too heavy. L.
