Where do you keep your Magazines?

While trying to clean up and out today I started puzzling on where to keep my magazines. I don’t keep any silly People or Entertainment Weeklys I may buy, but what about the GREAT ONES???

100_1491

Bottom shelf of my bookshelf in the Living room packed full,the Somerset issues take a huge section (left)

and here

100_1489

This is this year’s, so far, and it is stuffed! My poor shoes being pushed out. No space left in my closet.

Here

100_1488

My Cath catalogs hiding under furniture!!

I also have a HUGE box stored at my aunt’s house (need to get that) and a whole huge shopping tote in storage. I do tear down ones that end up with not so interesting things in them. But my ME Home Companions are treasures, and Somerset are BOOKS! How can I do that to them?

I have such limited space and know I need to get rid of them but …

So what do you do with yours? Maybe you will have a great idea I can use too!

Please visit our sweet Beverly @ How Sweet the Sound for all the pinkies joining this week♥

I was looking through my pictures of my pinks and the first thing I noticed  is how MUCH I have added to my room. lol

Here is the first redo of my room

421

I bought the boxes and gathered my pinks. It doesn’t look like this any more

This was Christmas stuff and a few new critters in Pink♥

I love all my junk, it makes me smile to look at and to play with when I move it around.

I hope you enjoy your toys too!

Pink on the book

pinksatbadge

Welcome to another bright and pink, Pink Saturday♥

I am a bit of a broken record lately as I do get on “kicks” and my current one is shopping the big bad book stores.

I found the best books in the 75% off bin at Barnes & Noble♥

100_1150

All these for less than $10!

I love the copy of Anne, it is really great!

100_1152

and I got looks, for how loud I was when I found this beauty!!!

100_1151

I got it for $5.52, I love also getting my 10% off everything I buy there♥

But I had to have this little beauty 

100_1153

How cute is she? How can you not love a Hedgehog named Arugula??

She is having a tea party :)

100_1155

She is very precise and has everything perfect for all her friends!

This is such a sweet book that I am adding to my Hedgehog book collection. You will hear more about Hedgehogs here I’m sure ;)

Please visit my sweet Pink friend Debbie @ Simply Debbie for her sweet pinks♥

And see sweet Beverly @ How Sweet the Sound for all our Pink Friends♥

I have no will power

This could be a super long post of ALL I have no will power for but I will just focus on one item today.

Tote bags

100_1129

Another one.

In my weak defense these are $6.99 at Borders Books when you purchase 2 items.

This was one

100_1131

Cute little retro notebook.

I will talk about notebooks later ;)

I love Paperchase, being English and all and me being such a nut for all that is English!!!

I love this tote is is so much bigger than my Mag bag

100_1075

So I can take EVERYTHING with me now!

100_1135Now I can go shopping ;)

It will hold tons of more tote bags! LOL

Borders is doing a good job of sending great coupons and they have fun stuff!

LOVE Books you know ;)

Thanks for all your sweet comments about my kitchen♥

I love my stuff, the room on the other hand is hard to use and I really don’t cook much because of it!

Here are a few other shots

My work space!

Ok don’t freak out I barely post twice a week and now two in one day!!

I was blog hopping and found this cool blog that is having a fun party!!

Kids napping I’m scrapping is hosting

Workspace Wednesday!

I have been rearranging and making room for all my goodies and the laptop in my room. I was excited to have a fun way to show it to you!

100_0952

Here is all my stuff, stuffed in the space I have,

Books, magazines, crafting, writing, bill paying, pencils, pens markers and really great finds I cannot hide.

100_0953I have planters, pink depression glass, baskets, boxes, shakers, milk glass, pretty up cycled cans, book ends from the dollar spot at Target, and I made my laptop fit!

100_0956

The printer is under the enamel top table I am using for a desk. Great Suzanna’s find. it is on my vintage suitcases that hold many crafting items. I keep everything anymore that might make a fun project.

My chair is a curbside cutie. It holds my purse which always needs a spot.

100_0955

Best part is this all sits in the middle of my great treasures. I have words and sayings that hang over me that inspire me.

Love, Believe, Delight, Create, Pray, Remember, Fabulous.

Good words to see everyday.

I have pretty candles and a lamp that keep me in the light and even though Pink is really here I have it all. This really is me. All of my things together in one spot.

I am happy here. I am glad I can spend time with you here!

Please join us for Workspace Wednesday!

Hugs, Lisa

 

Disclaimer: I really didn’t even have to move anything to take these pictures. Having the laptop here keeps me neat ;)

I have been….

Ok I’ll be honest I haven’t been doing anything!

288013_f260

Well I sleep too! hehehe

Actually the bunnies are keeping me busy

100_0874

They are multiplying! My mom has “bought” a few for me as I am not to “shop” during Lent. Hmmm I might do this every year! hehe

100_0862

There are chicks too. Lots of them!

Well I am getting ready for this

51O9M7WT6vL._SL500_AA300_

I have to rest up. They made the release on a Friday night/Saturday morning NOT on a Tuesday. For most this may be ok but for me I work Saturday and I’m off on Tuesday so it really is not good for me. Saturday is til noon and I get to nap before I go back in to take care of the boarding animals.

So I am resting, thinking up my Pink Saturday Post and I’ll work on the Woo-Hoo Wednesday Post.

My first year is almost over. What a super wonderful year it has been! I am a very lucky person to be included  in the ever growing blogland! I feel blessed everyday by each and everyone of my sweet friends!

The 24th is my official one year!

I want to give something for all the wonderful giveaways, givebacks, and just plain here have a gift I have received.

I thought on it and decided I wanted to give some of my favorites.

Mary Engelbreit is one of my very favorite women. (oooh idea for new series of posts!)  And no matter what your primary decor style is you have to love Mary’s work!

Here is a sampling of her work I collected. I think of this as her classic style! The one I like best anyway!

100_0827 

The red, black, cherries and Scotties! I really cannot think of a better way to say

THANK YOU!

There are party goodies and crafting goodies and ones you can use for both! All packed in a sweet pupylov box!

Now I want this to be for my very sweet friends. So leave a comment and you are entered twice! If you are new to pupylov PLEASE join in the fun! I just don’t need you to post on your blog about it. It will be just between us!

Make sure you leave me a way to get in touch with you if you don’t have a blog.  I will take entries on this post until midnight March 23rd and will Announce the winner on the 24th!

Flea Market Pink Saturday

I went to the flea market at the NC State Fairgrounds last Sunday.

As I gave up shopping for Lent this was a BIG mistake. But I was drawn maybe it was the nice weather or I was just crazy but I had to go.

I really feel it was to find this

100_0817

I have wanted one of these for the better part of a year, about the time I started doing Pink Saturdays.

Yes ladies I am blaming shopping on Pink Saturday. I got dishes because of a post 2 weeks ago! hehe

100_0806

Isn’t it great. Ok here is the good part….

$10!!

Yes I was thrilled!! It works too! I was so shocked when she told me the price I think I threw the money at her, well after I picked it up so no one else would get it!  It could have been cheaper but I have only seen them on eBay and well shipping would be at least $10 as it is really heavy!

I am well on my way to my new pink room!

100_0811

And my mom found this! Too cute right?! I was so excited when she let me have it! She found a red one and an umbrella too. What great things people used to have and threw away! They were silly party favors. Wonder what they would think of how we love these silly things!

I hope you are all having a super wonderful Pink Saturday and enjoy running over to Beverly’s blog for the whole list!!

Hugs, Lisa
