I too never know quite what to do with my summer decor. After all the holidays, it is just plain as can be. I need to put more thought into the summer decorating. Maybe there is a book about it??? BIG smile here. I love to crop my photos too.<br />(or the same reason) Not because of small children) My dh is the messy one here.<br /><br />We have been gone and with our grands this summer for two months. I am happy to be visiting my blogging friends again. That would be you!!! smiling. <br /><br />Hugs...Jeannejeannehttp://backyardneighbor.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212416519726161477.post-21343838692820993062009-07-07T16:59:06.114-04:002009-07-07T16:59:06.114-04:00I love the simplicity of it all put together.I love the simplicity of it all put together.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331347377155320171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212416519726161477.post-69133446334682113502009-07-07T16:53:48.950-04:002009-07-07T16:53:48.950-04:00LOL...love the crop job :) Your mantle looks like...LOL...love the crop job :) Your mantle looks like it is happily enjoying summer :)Precision Quality Laserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304034383943750446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212416519726161477.post-3921396840195622622009-07-07T16:49:46.401-04:002009-07-07T16:49:46.401-04:00Hi Kimba!

But, it's a group of high school boys who will NEVER even look at the mantel, so I'm not too worried!<br /><br />I have a question that I posted at Nester's blog. Do you think that duck cloth--not sure if I got that right or not--sorta like muslin--would work on a slip cover? Or is it not soft enough?
