A Fine Mess - Welcome to The Nester's Imperfect Blog Party

Move some furniture around, leave the room for a minute and you've got a theater for your action guys along with the perfect audience.


I'm learning! Give a boy a jester hat and he's good to go. Put that same hat on a girl and pretty soon she's embellishing it in her couch pillow salon! Obviously the flowers not yet packed away were not enough.......
Ahhhhh - unpack some and it's perfect. Forget packing away Christmas - let's both put flowers in our hair!!!!! Who needs a clean house when there are sick yorkies to cuddle and sweet shelties and grandsons to photograph. Love these pictures much more than....
my jillions of posed pictures in a clean house!!!!!!!

However - try to do a little after Thanksgiving shopping - leave the men in charge while the kids go outside and.........


see what happens!


I'm sure your house or even the mistreated house of the great and powerful (ly talented!) Nester was never this disastrous!

Thanks, Nester, for reminding us yet again It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful!
Now get your frazzled self over to The Nester's blog to see all the imperfectly wonderful blogs participating in this big mess!

  2. How fun is all of that mess?!

    Every picture I saw, I told myself it was my favorite--the dog as the audience, no, the jester hat, oh, it's got to be that sweet darling girl with the flowers, oh my gosh--the men asleep on the sofa!!!

    Life is Beautiful!

    Thanks for sharing your imperfectly beautiful life!

  3. Love that picture of the girl with the flowers, and the one of the mess in the backyard. That one reminded me of our, still not finished, backyard makeover. You see even on different continents, we're all the same.
