The List

So,  This is emberassing.  Emberassing and oh so necessary.  Since my husband has been home I've been so happy and just in about the best place mentally, spiritually, and physically that I've been in since we got married!  But creatively...uhmm kind of another story.  He has inspired me to start all of these amazing projects, I've gotten awesome blog ideas, even gotten into some lovely thrift store item-transformations!  It sounds great right?!  Right?!  Yes.  But the real problem is that I'm...not...finishing...Anything.  It's ridiculous I've finished One thing since he has been home.  Just One.  And it is driving me nuts I am not a girl that can leave things half done, or start a project knowing I don't have all the materials and just go 'oh I'll finish it later' ...that is just not how I opperate.  It is now officially starting to take it's toll on me.  I can't seem to get my head on straight and make the lists I need to *because I need a list to get Anything done* so I thought

'hey why not do a quick post about it instead of crying into your tea about what a failure you are?'

So here we are!  I am sucking down my relaxing tea mix of sleepytime green and honey-Chamomille-Vanilla in my pretty little white & blue cup and just trying to breathe and not concentrate on the havoc that is taking place around me.  And now I am going to start...The List.

The Great Bedding Crisis of 2012

So we've had our bedding about two years now, and not only am I needing a change but it's just gotten a little flat and clumpy, there are little white fuzzies sticking to it that just don't seem to want to go away no matter what I do to the darn thing!  With husband coming home soon new bedding seems like my last 'big purchase' for awhile and I'm fine with that.  This year we'll be making lots of modifications and changes and upgrades to Fort Lester, new bedding is in order!  I also need that as my piece to go off over for future decorating...I'm that person that needs a piece to work around, if it's an outfit than it's the shoes, scrapbooking the background paper,  my room it's the blankets.  I want lighter colors, yellows, greens, blues, grey and if there is going to be a 'darker' color it'll be brown

I have some choices here that I've been looking at maybe I could get some help?!  Check out these links if you've got a minute and tell me honestly...what do y'all think???

This is one from JC penny

Option 1 from overstock

Option 2 from overstock

Option 3 from overstock

Option 4 from overstock

I have checked walmart, kmart, target, dillards, pottery barn, overstock, bed bath and beyond, amazon...found things I like but only a couple have really 'spoken' to me...ya know?  My personal favorites; the JC penny choice because of the color and pattern, and overstock 1 and 2 and 4...the problem with the JC penny one is it's the most expensive and doesn't come with anything really and I would just really like a set (including sheets!) if at all possible...and I know it kind of seems like I'm asking for the impossible...but I'm going to keep on with the search lol...♥

Do you know any other good places to look for bedding?  Did you like any of those links?  Do you have any ideas for my room?! How do you handle bedding situations or is it really not on your 'important' list?
