You Dream of a Beautiful Life
There’s a good chance that your life has gotten a little too plain and vanilla lately.
You’d really like your days to be a little brighter and more inspired. You need more beauty!

Aesthetics and style are very important to you. You try not to let too much ugliness into your house.
It’s likely that you have your dream house, dream car, dream view, and dream wardrobe etched out carefully in your mind.

You Dream of a Quiet Life

It's likely that your life has a little too much chaos, drama, and even stress going on. You'd give anything for a little peace and calm. It's too loud both inside and outside your head.

You would love to just let go and relax. You'd like to forget all your troubles. You don't think there's such a thing as too much quiet. You've had enough excitement to last a lifetime.

None of them were really my style. I am more farm house mansion type. I finally have a pic of my farm house, last one on the homepage. Hugs & Prayers Pandy

Hi All!!! G'Day from Oz -

Photobucket

One day back from a for'night (the way they say two weeks here) in the Outback. Camped, stayed in an Aboriginal village, a bunkhouse at a sheep station (loved those Border Collies!!!!!) - I went along for instructional purposes (learning the emerg. airfields) helping the doc's replenish aid kits and so on. I'll post photo's when I sorted through the mess of them.

(((HUGS)))
