Well Christy I am right there with you, I live in Central Oregon, the weather here is quite cold as well. However we do have some pretty good summer days when summer does come around. Lately has been nothing but cold and wet. I would really enjoy wearing that wrap that Monica wore during the HGTV dreamhome special viewing. All I have done ever since I saw that programing has been to dream of the home and all of the good things that come with it. My family really does enjoy dreaming along with me, specially my little guy, he dreams of the disney's buzz lightyear, and woody room. He loves to play with a horse suit he has and can only dream of his new room and home! I do the same, that would be lovely. I have this worderful dress that would most definately be a wonderful piece to wear for my new home grand entry! It is cheerful and bright with colors that go well with the southern look of the home and location, I can't wait for that grand day! I wish you and all the best of luck.
