Hi, Susan. Good links! Regarding decor style, I like shabby chic, cottage, and French country.

Susan: I liked all three of Chad Allen's comments. Especially the first one. I also gained confirmation from Edie Melson's essay. When I was a lot younger, I tried to participate in practically everything I could. Over the years, I was in several small churches and sometimes, the people had great ideas.
