It’s Pink Saturday, Valentine

Here we are again for another great installment of Pink Saturday!

Valentine’s Day is a week from tomorrow! How this year is speeding away!

I got ready a few weeks ago here are some Valentine goodies!

My vintage vignette

 

 

My shelves have had a bit of Valentine fluff.

   

Ok this is a mess but there are all my sweet Valentine goodies! Notice the big bag of Jelly Bellies. They are tutti-frutti I am addicted to these things!!! My pink card stock is waiting for a project and the pink paint is for the box that will probably not be made in time for Valentines Day this year. I’ll try. Maybe I’ll have it for next week.

I found a few new pink goodies today

Love them even more in PINK!

New thumb drive to move my pictures to my new computer.

Cute shopper from Barnes & Nobles

I think it says it all!

Happy Pink Saturday! Please visit Beverly@HowSweetTheSound  for all the best in Pinkness!

Pink Saturday Valentines!

I have actually made and finished a project!!

It is slightly bigger than I had thought at first but I love it!

Isn’t she the greatest EVER!! I got a box of these at Barnes and Nobles with coupons and my member discount and she was a bargain!!

The paper was in a pack I bought at Big Lots for $1.99. I could not believe they matched her so well. I used my 2 different Martha Stewart edge punches to do the edges. The buttons were in a huge old tin of my mom’s and also were the best shade and just perfect!!

Hard to tell really but it is a peachy pink and looks great with yellows! The blue papers match the background on the card.

I am always afraid I will over do something so I left it.

Then I did the back.

I think I like it best! I fit all the scraps together to cover the cardboard back! And the buttons were cute without being too much. I am very happy with her and she is hanging on my shelves that being taken over with Valentine!!

Don’t know why this turned out so dark. I hope you are all having a great Pink Saturday Valentine!

“Green” Pink Saturday

This week I want to share my favorite new magazine!!!

Mary Jane’s Farm!!

The new Feb/Mar 2010 issue is Valentine of course, but it has really great vintage pinks I want to share!

The graphics in this magazine are amazing. It is printed on recycled paper and has really great ideas for going green! Even for city girls!

Vintage Valentine images!!

New images!

Look at these vintage pinks!!

This pin keep is amazing! I so want one of these cottage cheese containers.

Pink trunk!!

These pin keeps in the Jell-O molds are just the best!

Cupcakes!

This magazine has so much fun and exciting ideas it takes me hours to go through it all. I am seriously thinking of making it my guide for my new year and new life I am starting in 2010. I want to do more for me and for others and the environment!

Off to read more and to visit you sweeties!!

Happy Pink Saturday!

Hi!! I have so many wonderful comments thanks!! I have a subscription but Barnes and Nobles carries this magazine and Borders Books also. It shouldn't be a regional thing but if it wasn't selling they may not still carry it. It is about gardening and farming and cooking, etc. so you may need to look in a store that sells a wide range and in the gardening section! Good Luck! The link above will take you to the site. I found one and saw the Christmas one on a friends blog and had to just go ahead and get a subscription. It is worth the money even if you cut out the pictures and use them on projects. The paper is recycled so it is not thin and shiny it is great!!

Hugs!!!

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
