Pink Saturday

Good Pink Saturday morning my friends. Today I want to show you what I have been up to and having a blast doing it. These little tags are so much fun to make and they take no time at all to finish one. So instead of one I made many, like 25 so far!!! A good way to get rid of some of that scrap leftover paper you have.

I can't take credit for the idea. I saw Tobi's blog at Pink Pixie Forest where she had made some of these and loved them so much I had to try my hand at it and so in love with them.

These are great for a little tag to add to a gift, tie on a jar, you could even write a recipe on the back, or whatever. I am making a bunch of them up for different holidays and birthdays and I will have them available when I need them. Thank you Tobi for the beautiful idea. If you haven't seen Tobi's blog you MUST go over and say hi.

The ones with the little girls are so sweet, there are so many possibilities.

I am in the process of making these sweet Easter tags, aren't they sweet? I just bought the tags at my local office supply store, tore some scrapbooking paper and glued it down, distressed around the pictures with ink and added some glitter (stickles actually). I will add ribbons to the holes and maybe some flowers or other embellishments as I use them.

Thank you Beverly for this opportunity to show my Pinks again this Saturday. Be sure to check out her blog and see all the other beautiful posts.

I am also linking to a Valentine Party with the French Cupboard, check out all the beautiful Valentines these crafty ladies have created.

Its A Porch Club

I just learned of a great Porch Club that Jill at Gypsy Brocante is hosting beginning Jan. 31, 2011 that really sounds fun. She will have a Porch of the Month and all the ladies who want to participate can visit on a Monday morning.

You can read all about it by going to her great blog and look for the Jan. 24 post. She explains it all a lot better than I can. It sounds like a great time and you don't even have to have a porch!!! I am so ready for Spring but Monday we are suppose to get a significant snow storm. Maybe this porch party will help bring Spring in our spirit.

This is going to be a short and sweet post for Pink Saturday no time to take pictures today and I have a funeral to go to tomorrow. Thanks Beverly for hosting Pink Saturday again this week.

In a Crafting Mood

Today I am showing a cute little heart pillow I made to put in my Etsy Shoppe. It came out very

cute I think. I have been in the creating mood. Made cards yesterday, worked on this pillow, and worked on a swap I am making for the Mini Fabric Collage Swap sponsored by A Swap for All Seasons. I think the swap is closed but if you want to check it out, just click on the swap button on my sidebar.

I actually bought this great little kitchen angel, but wouldn't be easy to make, it is just a dishcloth, dishtowel and pot holder. Cute, cute, cute!!

This is one of the cards I made. I got my inspiration from a dear lady who is talented beyond measure. She works at my local scrapbook store, One Page at A Time. Thanks Mel!!!

This one is also from her inspiration, I love the little crepe paper flower I made like hers. Isn't this line of paper the cutest thing with the little love birds?

Well, this is the greatest thing. I have always wanted a cabinet where I can store some of my art supplies and I found just that. It is an old radio cabinet and I am going to store my embellishments and other art supplies. I have been going to our local thrift stores, and about each time I go I find a cute apothacary jar or decorative jar to put some of my supplies in. See all of them on top?

My only problem is whether to paint this cabinet or leave it natural antique. I love the antique look but I am thinking I am going to paint it. We will see?

The doors are even great on the inside. I guess when they used to listen to the radio it was a decorative piece even while open.

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Tomorrow is my wonderful son Jeremy's birthday. He will be 33 and we will have cake and ice cream tomorrow evening. Can't believe my baby is 33!!! Where did the time go.

I will link this post to Pink Saturday and White Wednesday . Be sure to check these blogs out and see all the wonderful posts.

Pink Saturday

Good morning and Happy Pink Saturday my friends!!! It is a wonderful day today, suppose to be in the 40's instead of single digits, so I am excited. Today I am showing some of my Valentine cards I have been making such as the one above. How fun are Valentine crafts? Maybe my favorite.

I love all the different embellishments that are offered to us in this day and age. I remember when there were very limited items to buy to embellish. Maybe a ribbon, lace and a button and that was about it. Now we have stamps, frames, roses, images, rhinestones and pearls and all kinds of dyes to change the colors of whatever we have.

In this computer age we also have so many vintage images we can print out and design the lettering just as we want it. I LOVE IT!!!!

I ran across these awesome cupcake baking cups and couldn't leave the store without two packages. Aren't they so romantic and lovely for a valentine party!!! Shaped like a flower and the design is roses on each cup.

This is a Valentine banner I am making as a special order for my friend Tea. Hope she loves it!! I know I am having a good time making it just for her.

Well, this is my Pink Saturday contribution for this week. Be sure to skip on over to Miss Beverlys blog at How Sweet The Sound and check out all the rest of the Pink Saturday posts. Have a wonderful weekend.

Congratulations Cindy, as soon as I get your mailing information, I will put it in the mail. Enjoy!!

(I know, I am really high tech on my names I wrote out)

Also wanted to share some Valentines with you!!! I had made this cute banner last week and put it in my Etsy shop. Then Saturday, my daughter Tammy and I had a Valentine craft day and spent most of the day making cards and Valentines. We love to do that together and get ideas from each other.

This is one I made, Tammy will blog her cards on her blog. I really enjoyed making this one.

And of course we had to get a picture of the two of us to remember this day. It was a KODAK MOMENT!!

I love making this pink, fu-fu cards, they make my heart sing.

I think of all of the cards I made I enjoyed this wall hanging heart I made the most. It was SO easy and went together so sweetly. I never have a plan, I just start designing and sometimes its good and sometimes not so good, but this one was GOOD! I listed it on Etsy.

This is a picture of my mine and Tammys cards. She has a real gift of designing, not only crafts, but decorating her home also.

Hope you enjoyed this Valentine goodie post. Be sure and check out Cindy's and Tammy's blog and thanks for everyone who entered my give away.

A Giveaway Celebration

I promised a giveaway and this is it!!! To celebrate the New Year and my 200th follower (actually its 205 now). This is the lovely cookbook written by Ree Drummond which is a fellow Oklahoman. I have a copy for my own, would love to have it autographed and maybe I can some day. She gives us many wonderful photographed recipes showing each step and I have tried several and let me tell you, this is good cooking (and eating). Be sure to enter my giveaway on this post and I will pick a winner on Jan. 10th. Good luck to you all! Be sure to visit Ree's blog and site at The Pioneer Woman.

I have added this cute little Valentine Love Banner to my Etsy shop. It was so fun to make. I used antique sheet music for the background and embellished with buttons, lace, crystals and tulle.

Hope you will enter my giveaway, I will be picking a winner Jan. 10.

Happy New Pink Year

Happy New Year to everyone, yesterday I spent most of the day putting my house back to my normal PINK!!! I love holiday decorations but feel so serene when I get it back to my shabby, pink and roses decor. It is sooo soothing to me. (Except, why don't they make TV cozies to cover up that black?)

I don't have my things fine tuned yet, forgot where I had things before, but guess that's the neat thing about it, having it different each time.

I love the shabby look, not everything matching, just a lot of pink and roses everywhere.

Look at these amazing dishes I set my dining table with. I had the small plates and my daughter bought these larger plates for me for Christmas. So festive looking. Please check out my daughter Tammys blog she shows all her different rooms decorated for Christmas. She is quite the little decorator and has a knack of making it just beautiful. She made like 5 posts in a row.

Thank you Beverly for hosting this first Pink Saturday of the year. Be sure to check out all the other blogs on her site How Sweet The Sound.

I will be having a give away soon. Stay tuned.

Hugs
