Pink Saturday

April 27th was my birthday and I wanted to show you what my beautiful family gifted me with. First up, this sweet box full of rose painted eggs my daughter made me. Isn't it sweet. All glittered up, I hate to take the eggs out of the box it is so pretty.

And this sweet basket full of cupcake goodies. She knows I am doing my kitchen in cupcakes and made me some cute little cupcake goodies and purchased a cupcake cookie cutter, scone mix, ceramic cupcake and cookie sprinkles. What a SWEET gift.

My family knows I love garden ornaments so my Mom got me this cute solar light frog. He will find a place near my pond.

And my handsome son got me this great butterfly garden rock and a gift certificate to our local plant nursery. I recently made an above ground garden and these gifts will find a home there. I love them.

This is the cupcake canvas my daughter made me, I will hang it in my kitchen. Too cute!!

Did everyone watch the Royal Wedding? I woke up at 3:30 and watched it wearing my tea hat and pj's on!!! Loved it!! Such a fairy tale.

Thanks Beverly for hosting this Pink Saturday. Be sure to check out the rest of the links here. I'm also linking to Show and Tell Friday.

Easter Tea and Matchbox Swap

Last weekend my daughter Tammy gave my Mom and I a sweet Easter Tea at her home. It was so lovely and she made everything to be perfect, sweet and beautifil. She is holding a tussie mussie I made her for a hostess gift in this picture. She loves to do these parties but I don't know where she gets the time, (or the energy) she is so busy.

This was a little box (which she made) of Easter treats, I am in love with the chicky head. We each had one of these at our place setting.

This is her and I at her table setting before we dove in and ate it all up!!!

And Tammy and Mom with cucumber sandwiches in the foreground. MMMM they were delicious.

This is a closeup of the tussie mussies I made. I stuffed them with Easter candy. They were such fun to make and only took a few minutes to design.

I love the little bird image with the music don't you?

I brought chocolate chip and toffee scones. Tammy had the cookies and the tea was mahvalous!!!!!

I gussied the scones up a little bit and they were delicious. I am not going to divulge anymore of Tammys party, she will post the whole party and I don't want to spoil it for you, it is so beautiful. She really did a lot of work hosting this beautiful tea. Be sure and check out her blog here, and see the whole party and all her beautiful makeover decorations.

I should be ashamed of myself, that I havent posted about the beautiful matchbox I received from Liz of Rose Vignettes last week.

This is the box I sent to her. We were participating in the Matchbox Swap with Laura of Decor to Adore.

And this beauty is what Liz sent to me. Isn't it beautiful? She did such a wonderful job of designing it just for me and I love everything about it. The key really caught my eye.

Liz stuffed it full of great findings and a sea shell. I thought that was such a cute idea putting them in cupcake papers.

I so adore all the great things she put inside the matchbox and isn't the tag she made great!!!!

I need to thank Beverly again for hosting this weeks Pink Saturday, be sure to check out all the other links she has on her blog for PS. I am also linking to Show and Tell Friday and later in the week White Wednesday.

Have a beautiful Easter with those you love.

Spring Craft Linky Party

I am participating in the Spring Craft Linky Party hosted by Laura of Decor to Adore showing something we had made for Easter decor. So I am showing a couple of things I have made. One being this cute little hanger I made from scrapbook paper, lace, tulle, trim and a flower I made with a covered paper button.

I love making these buttons and putting them in the middle of a paper flower.

I made this cute spring bird a crown and now I have a royal bird!!!

The heart on the left was a favorite of mine to make. Again, scrapbook paper on chipboard, lace, ribbon, beads and you have a little hanger. The little packet on the right is just right for a little gift or gift card. It is made from a toilet paper center that was smashed, covered with paper and embellished. I used wire for the hangers.

The pink rose was made from rolled crepe paper and I glittered it.

Hope you enjoyed my spring crafts I made, I enjoyed doing this party. I am also linking this to Pink Saturday and Romantic Home Show and Tell Friday. Thanks everyone for hosting these great linky parties.

Pringles Grab & Go Challenge

I am participating in Liz's Pringles Grab and Go Challenge at her sweet blog Rose Vignettes. Just get one of the small Pringles Cans and come along for the fun.

There are so many different ways you can decorate these cute little cans

and use them for a lot of different uses. I use mine for my pens and pencils and one for my paint brushes and various long tools.

Be sure to check out the different entries Liz has on her linky. Really cute ideas.

I wanted to show you another one I made quite a while ago, but it is made from a fruit can instead of the Pringles can but it is the same idea. I really love this one and use it a lot.

Hope you try your creative abilities and make some of these for your own use or for gifts. They are a lot of fun. I am linking this post to White Wednesday also.

Matchbox Swap

I joined in on the fun of Laura of Decor to Adore's Spring Matchbox Swap and it was so much fun making these cute little boxes. This is the one I made Laura, above. I was matched with my partner Liz of Rose Vignettes and the boxes below

are what I designed for her. I had so much fun making these little boxes not really knowing what I wanted it to look like but since Liz told me she had blue in her home, I went for the blue and being spring, what better than a little bird setting in the splendor of flowers and ribbon as a nest!!

I'm sorry I didn't think to open the drawer to show you what was inside. I will let Liz show you the little treasures I stuffed inside. I can't wait to get my packages to see what Laura and Liz designed for me. I will take pictures and show you when I receive them.

We are having tornadic weather here in Okla. this evening, just had hail but wasn't too big and we needed the little rain we received.

Be sure to check out the rest of the bloggers Pinks over at Beverlys place, How Sweet The Sound. I am also linking with Show and Tell Friday. Have a great weekend my friends.

For The Birds

Happy Pink Saturday fellow bloggers. Its such a cheery, sunny, spring day today and today my theme is BIRDS!!!

Getting all my little birdhouses out to hang and place on my patio for all my feathered friends.

But the main attraction of todays post is the sweet Bird Tea my daughter Tammy hosted for my mom and I last weekend. As always, it was well thought and maticulously carried out to the "tea". She always makes everything so sweet and heavenly to look at.

Sweet picture of Tammy and my Mom.

She has opened a little hostess gift I made for her to write her memories of this little tea party in and have to remember it.

Her sweet table was just gorgeous with the birdcage as a centerpiece and beautiful green glass dishes. She made the placecards and napkin rings.

Just beautiful.

This is a closeup of the little mini book I made. This idea was from Tim Holtz video on mini books.

Places to write in the book and you can slip pictures, etc., in to the pockets on the ends of the pages.

And of course a teacup on the back to signify the tea party. This was such a fun time for Tammy, my Mom and myself, a memory to hold dear to my heart forever. If you would like to see more of this tea party be sure to check out Tammys blog here.

Thank you Beverly for hosting this Pink Saturday. Be sure to hop on over and check out ALL the pink posts.
