Dreaming

Just a little dreaming going on here this weekend :)

Hugs, Lisa

Are you ready???

Honeslty what does that really mean? Ready for what the whole thing to be over? I have always been so deflated after Christmas, it is OVER, all the build up actually seems better than the day. And can you really be ready. Presents wrapped, food cooked, or did you throw a few gifts under the tree you found hidden in the closet when you went to get your good robe you are going to wear for the pictures, or if you forget, one of the 12 dishes you were going to make for Christmas dinner will it be that bad?

I don't hate Christmas, but really love the "Season" because it lasts longer. I have a mom that stress over all the "undone" things and then cannot enjoy any of it.

Please all my lovely friends don't stress it will all happen and it will be a memory of all that gathered and not really what was not done. Enjoy the moment and the time it will all be great, honestly letting go is hard especially for us women but how much nicer life is when you do.

So have the Happiest of Christmases and remember why we celebrate and it really puts all the hoopla in to perspective.

Merry Christmas

Hugs, Lisa

Movin’ On…

Before

Both corners of my bedroom, it is really small!! I really could fill the Apartment, well maybe one bedroom would be empty, MAYBE ;)

Room with furniture

Dresser one;)

Dresser two!

Nightstand

Bed complete with sleeping dog ;)

Best part about moving I found these

Now I don’t have to figure out what to put on the top of my posts!!

I am really enjoying the retro look of my furniture!

More to come, I have to get all the stuff off the walls at Mom’s and on the walls here! Also stay tuned for the living room!

Hugs, Lisa

New Furniture

As it is my goal to get rid of items I am also collecting anything free!!

A friend is moving and trying to get rid of a few things so once again Lisa to the rescue ;)

This table is awesome!!

It lives next door to Molly’s house and she is good with it, she likes having the neighborhood remolded on a monthly basis ;)

I ACTUALLY , have already changed the whole area again, hehehe

I just cannot leave anything alone!

I do so love my new table and how all my goodies look on it,

Here it is with my daisies I got for $2.99!!! And a pink vase also picked up from my friend!

I hope you are all having a great sunshiny fall Saturday!

Please visit Ms. Beverly and the rest of the Pinkies!

Welcome to Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

Get your Pink On!

Hugs, Lisa

Pink Saturday in the UK

I am keeping with my “I want to move to the  UK” theme this week ;)

Here is where I will live!!

The one in the middle of course ;)

And I will decorate with these lovelies

Ok I confess, I’d move to England for Cath Kidston alone!!

I won’t even go into the clothes!!!!

I will get a huge basket so I can ride in to town to shop at Cath’s ;)

So I will be making my notebook full of great pinks from Cath  to have in my new cottage!

Please visit Beverly @ How Sweet The Sound for more Pink Ladies!

 

Hugs, Lisa

Welcome September

More pics as I get out more of  the Fall/Halloween Decor

I’ve added little bits to my shelves♥

I know they are more busy I really should find some pieces to put away ;)

Little bits and pieces to make it feel cooler :)

This bookcase gets more full everyday♥

I love this little guy :)

I love this one too

Can’t forget this one!

It is such fun to find all my holiday friends again every year♥

Happy almost Fall!

Hugs, Lisa

I am not lost

Well sort of not lost ;)

I am lost in books♥

I have been feverishly reading. I get in obsessive periods and right now I am reading a book a day! Well until I hit this one

I was told it is amazing and I don’t mind it just not drawing me as much,

I read this one

Really loved it!

I am reading this series but the library has me on hold as I cannot get the next book! Not brain teasers and skim through a lot of stories I don’t really like but good.

I have read all that are published in this series

Not such great mysteries but I do like the characters

And I have these

I have two in the series and  This is the first and I got the 3rd or so on a bargain table. Just guess I need to start!

I have this too and a growing collection of books that center around food and cooking but none of these really seem to have me inspired.

Has anyone read this one?

I don’t have it but would like to know if it is a good read.

I am waiting on two of my favorite authors to publish again but it will be 2011 before their new ones are out :(

And I will whittle away at The Forgotten Garden!

If you liked any of these please let me know and if you have any suggestions I really like fiction with a sense of Fun. NOT a Nicholas Sparks fan (I know they are lobbying to through me out of NC for this) and I think I am not a fan of Male authors, more often than not they don’t have happy endings.

Yes I really don’t read the silly romance books but I have to have a Happy Ever After ;)

Anyway I will be decorating for fall this holiday weekend so I will have pics next week♥

Hugs, Lisa

All my pink

Welcome again to Pink Saturday!

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

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♥

Here it is today. My pinks all summer time!

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!

Hugs, Lisa

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!

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.

I 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!

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.

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 ;)

HI!

I am working hard to get my room set up. Change of plans on the home front and I will not have my extra room. I am rolling with it and the entire house will get a once over!
