A Thousand Words

A virtual scrapbook for you . . . full of love from Bahrain.

Tankersley Family_0314bwzipBaby belly at the Bahrain Fort on a very windy day. This was when I was still somewhat reasonably pregnant. I am now — at 36 weeks — UNreasonably pregnant. With four weeks still remaining, we may have a 13 pounder on our hands.

IMG_0279 A runner that I am currently obsessed with from our favorite rug shop. We brought it home and then took it back. Terrible idea. Now I feel like something’s missing. Beautiful, right? I’m not usually a “red” person, but I adore this runner for some reason. Has amazing shades of green and turquoise here and there that just work. Perhaps if I birth the  13 pounder, I might get this as a gift for all my efforts! :)

IMG_0242I might be sick, but I’m still darling.

    SOOOOOO love this! A feast for the eyes! You all look gorgeous. Just doesn’t seem fair that you had such a fabo party with none of us Floodsters there! Can’t wait to see pics of the new babe when she makes her grand appearance! For your sake, I hope she doesn’t start out fashionably late! :) You are loved and clearly you are loving as well!

    Um….go back and get that rug! Seriously.

    • leeana says:

      I know, right. I miss it every day. Perhaps we can go visit it while you’re here. Say hi to Yousef while we’re there. Wouldn’t that be a dream!

      Well as a purdoct owner… i would personally never offer a “lifetime” on anything except training. If it is a PDF… maybe but even that I think is unfair to the purdoct owner… but with using software there are hard costs and support and all that and if after 90 days (not sure what the refund policy they have is going to be) you have not used it… then refund. If it is not working for you and you can see you are making money… then refund. I dont think it fair to any business that they should have to provide support for a lifetime and then a year later the person just decides to refund. AffiliateX had a great comment above… it comes down to you deciding if you are going to implement and use. If you are then in my opinion 90 days is more then enough to know if you need a refund or not. But this of course is just my opinion as both a consumer and purdoct owner.
