Sometimes I have to laugh at the emails I get from folks wanting to place ads on the blog. They often try to imply that they’ve been long time blog readers. Some will even pick an older post and go into great detail about why they loved that particular post and I know they just randomly picked a post and had never seen my blog before they decided to target me for an ad.
This morning I was reading email and I cracked up. I knew with the first sentence that she has never read a single blog post:
I have been looking through your blog, and your creativity and talent in home decor lends itself to a beautiful home!
Me? Talented in home decor? Beautiful home? Are you kidding? There’s nothing about home decorating that interests me. Give me a garden, some yarn, a few critters and I’d be happy living in a tent so long as it has indoor plumbing and air conditioning. I sometimes walk through Hobby Lobby and am tempted to pick up a few things and then I come to my senses and realize . . no . . I am not a decorator. In fact, when we moved in over 4 years ago, I asked the sellers just to leave nails in the walls and I’d put something on them. Do you think I have ever put anything on the nails? No!
We’d love if you could showcase how you personally use flowers to decorate your home (or space) through a post on your blog!
Me use fresh flowers to decorate? First, only weeds bloom in my yard and second, I’d have to go to town to buy fresh cut flowers and that happens so rarely and then, with all the “stuff” we have in this house, I’d have to hang them from the ceiling fans!
So, Community Coordinator with the “flower group”, you might want to pay a little more attention to the blogs you say you “look through”. I would be of totally no benefit to you at all! 🙂

oh but i do recall that one time you used a sherwin williams(?) paint match to coordinate ruby’s picture colors for a room makeover! with a huge leap i can see someone finding that post to stretch into you being a decorater. ;0)

Painting one or two icky rooms does not make me a decorator! I’d be better fitted for a hoarder show! 🙂

That really IS funny!! Thanks for that chuckle this morning! I get emails all the time at my office at church, asking for money or Bibles, but they’re all from Africa, and don’t include a mailing address…. Yours are much funnier. ????

That’s amusing! I used to be more into decorating, but these days I’m more into spaces that function well for the intended purpose.

Decorating? Those of us who are busy with a variety of crafts have 1) no time to decorate 2) no extra money for such an adventure 3) no storage space to rotate those seasonal items since …quilting, rug hooking, needle punch, locker hooking, wool, fabrics, yarn, machines, frames and the like get that storage space. Really! Cleaning house around here is enough decorating for me.

How funny!! I get them too. They make no sense… For awhile I was getting rated XXX comments from a title I had on one of my blog posts. I added decals to my sewing machine and titled the post a “A little bling for my machine”……… Well I had to change the title and no more XXX posts. I guess a little bling brought out the worst in people (who didn’t read the blog about quilting)!!! LOL

Like the others and yourself that is too funny.How could someone be so stupid and post this. But it did give you/and us a laugh so I guess that was worth something. You are my kind of gal just down home and speak your mind don’t sugar coat it give it to us how it is. Love it myself. Keep those pest out of here. Swat them with your flyswatter and send them on their way.

That is hilarious – I sometimes get medical ones – and I wonder…. so I come across as sick?

Judy. You are a lady after my own heart. My idea of decorating is re-arranging the cob-webs. By the time where I think I like something the style has changed and I have to get my head twisted around something new and so it goes
