I think he was one of my drawing projects for art class in high school, I took a lot of my art subjects from the NGs. My Grandparents kept all their NGs and passed them to my mom, I took them after that but then the book case that they were in was against an uninsulated wall and they went musty, gave me horrible asthma fits when I touched them, moved them to the attic to make room for the girls' extensive library and then they went to the goodwill from there. Some days I feel bad, today would have been one of those days, except that for some reason I woke in the middle of the night not breathing, so today I am very glad I'm learning to not keep everything that comes across my path, I still keep stuff but not like I used to.Lannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018584509455303394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-89461597770572854112012-02-04T12:40:36.262-06:002012-02-04T12:40:36.262-06:00save your work.. ha ha... we yell that at our hou...save your work.. ha ha... we yell that at our house, too!Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404943895800549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-17858111394383200212012-01-30T20:31:55.680-06:002012-01-30T20:31:55.680-06:00Whoa Nellie...what a day you had!

And I have to say I love your cabinets from the post below. And to find you and hubby built them is awesome. I bought plans to do my kitchen ceiling some what like yours. And I love that I can see I will love it if it turns out a bit like yours. I will be recessing an area for the ceiling fan. As we have short walls in this old house.

We had stacks of them before we moved from SC. In fact, I had made book shelves by stacking magazines on either end and putting a board across, then stacking more on either end and putting another board across. I had three shelves I made that way. The only problem was if you wanted a magazine in one of the stacks!Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-90767073372697552152012-01-30T08:57:25.753-06:002012-01-30T08:57:25.753-06:00I love computers - when they work.
