Wedding, Homes & Leopard

Hi, I'm Jan and I've been blogging for about 5 years and in November, 2012 I began this Blog - The Comfort of a Safe Place.  Perhaps you will remember me from Jan & Tom's Place, Rose Haven or Always Designing.  I really am enjoying this Blog.

Some of the things I love doing in my spare time are - crocheting, sewing, jewelry design, cooking and baking (trying out new recipes)...
Pinning and Pinterest, Designing my Blog and helping others with their Blogs, Interior Design work and caring for our Pups.  Please, check my Navigation Bar up at the top, under my Banner, I have some important features there, that you may want to check out - and yes, they do sometimes change!


Now, I'd like to share a few of my Favorite Posts on my Blog, so you can get to know me and see what I'm all about.  One of my all time favorite posts and one that is near and dear to my ♥ is of my oldest son, Stephen and his wedding to Lindsey.  They make a beautiful couple.


After much work on Stephen's part,
They married in June of 2010 in Wisconsin. 

You can see their Dream Wedding post, HERE.



I love going on Home Tours and touring the DeVilbiss Mansion  in Toledo, Ohio was no exception.   At the time, Mr CSP and I were looking  into fulfilling our dream of being B&B Owners.  Although this Mansion needed considerable work, at the price it was listed, it would have been an incredible value.  Take a look for yourself HERE.   


I LOVE Leopard Print and I share that passion on Pinterest!

  16. Hello Jan - I am here from 2 Bags Full.

    Your blog does feel safe and encouraging.

    It also has lots of pizzazz and interesting information. I.e. I am enjoying reading about the meaning of colour. These posts must take a lot of time to research and write! Thanks for sharing.

    Your prayer ministry is awesome!
