A Fresh Start

Happy New Year Everyone!   One of the things I love about a new year, is the feeling of a fresh start that comes with it.  I have an e-mail box with an enormous amount of old e-mails from wonderful readers asking for interior design advice.  Thank you, thank you!  I never have to wonder what to write about, thanks to all of you!  However, I never can seem to keep up with the requests I get.  In the spirit of the new year,  I am giving myself a "fresh start".  I get all conflicted, wanting to help everyone that wrote in, but I also worry that old requests are sometimes too dated, and that design projects are already completed, and I might be wasting my time as well.  So- I am going to delete the old file.  If any of you have e-mailed asking for help, (prior to 2012) and I have not responded, first of all, my apologies, secondly, if you still need advice, simply re-send your e-mail, and I will do my best to get to it.  Keep in mind that the e-mails that are extremely looooonnngggg, have a hard time fitting into my busy schedule.  Keep your questions brief and to the point.  If you are sending over 20 pictures, know that that is more than what I need.  For the super- thorough interior design advice- consider my e-design program. 

So hey!  Happy New Year!  Sorry for my lack of posting, I have been in Cancun with 43 other Fife's for a big Fife Family vacation.  We had a wonderful time.  Cancun is beautiful, and the trip could not have been more fun.  But now I'm home, and ready to have a terrific year!

 In hind sight, I should have bribed Lincoln with a new DS game instead of yelling at him for being such a pill.  Oh well, live and learn.  Could he have scowled any better?  (yes, all of the pictures were that bad...)
