Frugal Round-up (Formerly known as Linky Love) and more updates~

Welcome to this week's edition of the Frugal Roundup where I share just a bit of the fabulousness that is ALWAYS Frugal Friday here at the Shabby Nest. Last week's Frugal Friday was the biggest to date. It was a nice diversion for me to spend some time going through all those posts...here are a few of my favorites.


Adventures of One Crazy Lady shared her pretty button-monogrammed pillow. This is a project I've actually had in the back of my mind for a while...after seeing Kari's cute version, now I *know* I'll have to get mine done!




Country French Cottage shared her French inspired bathroom redo. Take a gander at the before pictures and you' ll be ASTOUNDED at the tranformation!



Emily Ann shared a super-fantastic upholstered headboard redo. So pretty!


And finally, And Then There was Home shared her sweet nautical mobile. I LOVE the rustic simplicity of the mobile. Sooo charming!


Hubby and Dad Updates:


John is doing as well as can be expected at this point. They removed his chest tube today which helped to alleviate some of the pain in his chest...of course he still has 4 broken ribs to contend with, but at least the pain was a little less. The surgeon who worked on his leg came and told us that the xrays taken in the recovery room looked really good, so he is hopeful that the leg will heal well. John was more alert and talkative, although he tired quickly and was still in quite a bit of pain. The overall feeling of today was hopeful, however, and that did me a world of good.


My dad with me and Holly - no we weren't born at the turn of the century...
my dad restores antique cars and we dressed vintage to match the car.


My dad's surgery today went well. He also injured a disc in his back as a result of his fall, so that is going to add to his recovery time, but all in all, he is doing well also.




I just wanted to thank you all again for your kind words and your prayers. They truly are helping to carry us through this difficult time. You all are the best readers in blogland!!
