Fashion TV Online Designer Awards

Vogue 1925

Victoria would like to thank you all very much for the kind comments and for voting in this competition.
Exciting times for her and to get some recognition in this hard Industry, is such a great coup for her.
I have heard from some people that they have been having trouble voting as there was a malfunction with the website, so fingers crossed, that a few more votes may come in before it closes on the 6th of July. Many thanks.



If it seems like I haven't been around much, it's because I haven't.
I have been busy taking everything out of the lounge, in preparation for giving the room a makeover with a new coat of paint. Such a big job, carefully packing everything up . My husband reiterates that we have way too much stuff in the room, so will have to see what returns or goes away.

Happy July! ~ do you find that 2010 is going way too fast?
Hugs
Carolyn

  6. Way too fast for me!
    Your daughter is such a beauty! I did have trouble voting too. I'm not even sure it went through, but I hope so.
    My husband says I have too much stuff everywhere! But who listens to him...not me...hehe

  7. Hi Carolyn,
    How exciting for Victoria - I hope she wins! Getting a new coat of paint is exciting too as it allows you to get a whole new look with just a color change. What color are you moving from and to? I too have so much, i was sitting here thinking of contacting a professional organizer just for this one room! And yes, not only is 2010 going by so fast, the older I get, the more time seems to fly. If you discover a way to slow it down, please share!

  8. Thank you so much, dear friends, your support and messages are very much appreciated.
    Funny how we all have something in common, we have too much stuff.
    Yes, the years do seem to go faster, the older one gets and I wish I knew of a way to slow down.
    Sharon we are changing the lounge colour scheme from a sage green wallpaper, to probably white.
    I have a lot of paint samples so will see what one looks best.

    Hugs
    Carolyn

  12. I hope she wins too!
    Carolyn you hit the nail on the head. July has come and I can't believe that we are into the 1/2 half of this year. It feels like yesterday I was saying happy new year!
    Hope your painting plans go well, I have just done this - a lick of paint does wonders.
