Happy Pink Saturday!

Please visit Beverly @ How Sweet the Sound for a whole list of Pinkies!!!

I have to confess I have been a bad blog friend!

I have been so lucky to get the best gifts from my blog friends and I did not share in a timely manner.

Sorry

I am not sure which was actually first but I think this one was

This very pretty box was from Lori @ Ruffles, ribbons and roses!

It was a huge box of vintage baby goodies!!

Lovely doily and bunny

sweet blocks!!

bunny goodies!

The whole box was full! It was such a treat! After I won this and stayed in touch with Lori I was lucky enough to meet her sweet daughter Noelle @ Little bits and pieces of me! I am proud to have them in my circle of friends♥

I got this one from my sweet friend Gen @ Gen’s Scrapbook Kitchen

She sent a box full of wonderful goodies to make treasures!! She makes great cards and has shops all over! She is a busy lady and a dear sweet friend♥

I was very lucky to get a sweet surprise from Christina @ icandy…

She was making fun little Easter baskets and I joked I would give one a good home and she sent me one. Ok I didn’t blog about this because it came in the mail the day after my sweet Casey died. I so needed this love but was too emotional to share with everyone.

She had sent it way before and it was on my door step just when I needed it♥

Then I was a lucky winner of a Royal giveaway!

Debra @ Common Ground had a giveaway and had a glitch so two Lisa’s won!

I was lucky to share with Lisa from Tarnished and Tattered

We got very lovely Crowns

Soap, and lovely note cards! With a sweet note and butterfly to top it all♥

I am very lucky to have all of my sweet blog friends and even more lucky when I can win a contest or two, or three,

well you get the picture ;)

Happy Pinks!!

Hugs, Lisa

Christmas Wrap up

Just a quick post of my Christmas goodies and a big thank you to the ladies who had great giveaways that I won!

First here are my Trader Joes’ Flowers

They were little buds and opened up every day. This is only about half way open and I still have them after 3 weeks and they were all of $3.99!!

This is my teddy bear brush and comb set. Santa brought these to me from Suzanna’s Antiques!

This pink pearl set is from my mom! She said it was the year of Pink!

She also gave me these great repro beads!

I was lucky enough to get the exact calendar I wanted. I usually wait for them to go on sale and then I have to pick from what is left I lucked out this year!

I “have” to get a Lang calendar because I have this frame for them and they are the only ones big enough to fit.

It hangs in my kitchen and they are so inspirational. Mine for last year was the Breast Cancer Awareness one and it featured the 23rd Psalm. Which is my very favorite and I just loved walking by it everyday! This one says “In everything give thanks” I just have to smile!

The Christmas is put away and all of the celebrating is over. And I am ready for 2010!

I am looking forward to spending another great year here with you my friends in blogland!

This sweet pack of goodies is from Jonnie @ Jonnie’s Shabby Cottage Creations and More I won in July. I was the second one picked as the first winner didn’t respond. Then I didn’t answer for about a month. And then she mailed it and after a month I let her know it had not arrived. She tried to find it and was set to make me another one when the first of December it arrives back from the post office! I got it in a few days after the second sending but my goodies are well traveled. What stories they can tell. It is pink and very Valentine so I think it arrived right on time!

Monica @ Happy Nester gave away this great card holder. I was so excited. I almost ran over to Pier One and bought one when I saw her give away, I was so glad I won!!

She added this sweet little book to it. Got to love Gooseberry Patch!

Laurie Star  was sweet enough to offer this great set of goodies at Christmas! I received the package Christmas Eve. You know I didn’t wait a day to open so I had it under the tree too!

I will be crafting up a storm. It is great to have goodies all ready when you go to craft!

Thanks Ladies!! I had the best month in Blogland! And thanks to everyone for sharing your great holiday goodies and traditions. My first Christmas in Blogland was very lovely!

Hugs, Lisa

Hi ladies!! I had a bad mishap with my comment moderation and was trying to reject one and it rejected HALF!!!!  To Laurie, Claudia, Deb, Beansie and more I would NEVER reject your comments on purpose! You may never stop back to this post but if you do PLEASE forgive me! I got a really bad one that had only a few words in English and they were not nice. NO idea who or what it was about!

Hugs, Lisa 

Thoughts for today…

I was trying to rest while watching Julie & Julia when I just HAD to start my first Valentine project. A door hanging. I bought one at Halloween and have been determined to have one from now on. I made this one for Christmas

Since I started my paper crafting craze last year at Valentines Day I have a load of stuff to use already.

These are sets I got at Michaels. I had loved the whole selection and when it was closed out I was lucky enough to get several of the pieces I really liked. All which would make great Valentine projects.

This is what my Molly and her friend Lollipop were doing as I am getting out a selection of items to see about using. They are helpful as you can see.

This set seems to have the best stuff. Not sure I’m going with the French theme but it could work.

But look at the Bingo card and one of the small ovals says J’tame!

This will work!

A second look through the papers and I find that I like these with my new theme.

Not sure exactly what it will all turn into but it is coming along

Back into the boxes goes the first round of eliminations

The stamps and ink will have to stay out awhile longer

I think this will turn out nicely. The hard part is almost over.

Now I have to go back and find my place in the movie and finish watching it and I think I will finish my dinner from last night of Mexican dip! I planned, shopped and cooked a whole dinner. I will admit I have done it before, but not since I started working at the hospital. I don’t really get in and settled until 7pm and I just want quick and easy by then! Thanks to Trader Joes my dinner was a success! Got pretty pink roses CHEEP too! OH forgot the picture!

Also why I don’t have a post about my Christmas presents. I won 3 giveaways that arrived Christmas week and got really great stuff at home too. I’ll get it together!

I am off this weekend. The puppies go home today so I may work on projects as they will not let me sleep! Sunday I WILL sleep!

I also need to start looking for my heart box for my Valentine swap. I cannot get the stuffing until I find out my partners, color choice!

I really need to sit down with a notebook and my plan for the new year. Lots of changes coming and if I write them down they don’t all have to play in my head all the time!!

I named thoughts for today and I hope you enjoy your nap after you read this!

Hugs, Lisa

Never enough hours in a day.

Sorry I have been so sporadically visiting lately. I am trying but only seem to have about an hour a day and so much to see! You all have such lovely and informative Christmas posts! I am overwhelmed by all there is to do! I have FINALLY finished decorating my house. Not really a lot of decorating I just got out of the mood.

Today I am getting my Christmas cards out and mailing packages at the post office. Then I have to pick my mother up from work and go look at a house for her to rent. And my work Christmas party is tonight and I have a play at the church to go see. Guess I’ll miss a Charlie Brown Christmas this week too!

I hope to not have another busy day like this one. And I won’t it will all be done!

I threw in a few pics just for you to see!

 

These three lovely pics are of a prize from Martha @ Martha’s Favorites. I really wanted this book!! The little dress is so sweet and I left the wonderful bow pin on it! The dish towel is perfect and I will never use for more than decoration!! hehe

I was also lucky enough to win from Cindy @ Fairy Tale Cottage

A lovely beaded bag of Lavender!!! It smells heavenly! It is close enough to my bed I can smell it! And it looks great with my other things too! So nice. Sachets are so funny because if they are to be hidden why are they so lovely?

Oh and I have to go pick up a copy of the 6th Harry Potter movie at some point. I have to have it or my collection will not be complete! hehe

I think that is it. For now anyway. PLEASE be sure to click on the sweet house pic and save it for you collection!!

Merry Christmas!

Hugs, Lisa

UPDATE 12/09/09

OK THE HOUSE PIC DIDN'T TRANSFER FROM LIVE WRITER. SORRY!!

I'LL CHECK ON IT WHEN I GET HOME!!

Hope it is up now!! 8pm!

Hugs, Lisa
