"EASTER"

Another Beautiful Blog!

Well, goodness........
it has been so long since I have done this,

I just know it is time to

award another Beautiful Blog Award!
This week I give the BBA

to Eileen of this very lovely blog:

Star's Fault

I have just discovered Eileen's blog,

and believe me when I tell you

that you must go and pay her a visit!

She is an artist

who makes her home in Alaska,

and she is so very talented!

Eileen has one of those blogs

that you can just get "lost" in for hours upon hours......

the kind that is so pretty

that it just makes you

"sigh"........

And so, Eileen......

this award is for you & your Beautiful Blog:

Thank you for such lovely inspiration!

And, as always my friends, I encourage you all to borrow this award button and share it with the Beautiful Blogs you have found!

Blue Monday

Hey, it's my first Blue Monday!!

How fun! I have a few things

to share with you~

First........ a little blue-gingham-"Easter-Chickie" from many, many years ago~

Secondly........ my favorite blue bucket:

A sweet card sent to me when my dear Steve was sick:

And......... the gorgeous blue Spring sky here in my special spot in the world:

Happy Blue Monday to you!

Please stop by Smiling Sally's lovely blog to see more pretty blue posts!

Welcome!!

To PINK SATURDAY

here at Brookside Cottage!

I am so happy to be participating again!!

for today's pink-i-ness I share with you~

One of my Mom's antique rose pictures........

it is perhaps my favorite

though it is hard to pick a fav......

everything I have from my Mom

is such a treasure!

And, a pink rose painting I did back in 2005 when I first

began painting.......

And, one of my favorite mugs........

because

a) I just love bunnies........

b) I think it is just perfect for this time of year

with Spring and Easter......

and

c) it is also one of my treasures from Mom...

Well.......... hello there! I wonder if anyone still visits here..... it has been so long.

Hoping someone is still reading here!

Many changes in our life of course.......... the most exciting being this sweet angel:

Little "Stephen"............

born January 14th.......

another precious blessing from God!

He and his cousin, Joey sure make life worthwhile!

Since it is Spring, and a time for new changes, I thought I would experiment with a new look here as well........ just trying it..........hmmm........ don't know what I think yet........ I got the FREE background from this wonderful site:

http://aquapoppydesigns2.blogspot.com/

and I really do love it! I just can't decide if it is all too crowded or "busy".......

Well, I really just wanted to pop in and say hi.......... I must confess it is wonderful to be "back"............ I hope I can find time to get back to regular posting........

Hugs to everyone!
