Pink Saturday!

I have been enjoying Pink Saturday posts,

which were begun by dear Bev from

How Sweet The Sound

for a while now,

and since I am a lover of all-things-pink

(which hasn't always been easy

in a house with 4 boys)

I thought it would be fun to join in

and share some of my favorite pink things with you ~~

these are my paint caddys:

A Sweet little book cover for one of my favorite books,

which I made using my favorite

wallpaper,

and a very sweet little bunny

from a card made

by one of my sweetest friends...........

{the book just happens to be:

The Secret}

my magazine holder

I painted especially for my

Paula Deen

magazines.....

one of my favorite ATC cards,

which I purchased from this very sweet and talented lady:

Berry Lane

please be sure and stop by and say hello!

And be sure and check out not only her website,

but her 2 Etsy shops as well!

my pretty pink journal

I made:

And, my favorite bag.......

which I made using

a wonderful pattern and

tutorial from this incredibly

talented lady:

Arsty-Crafty Babe

Wow,

lots of PINK~

and lots of

Favorites!

Hope you enjoyed looking!

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Well, well...... where have you been???

Oh, wait............ it's ME who has been missing............

So sorry!! But, honestly........... just how much time would YOU be on the computer if you woke up to this each morning:

See, I knew you'd understand!



He is such a doll, and growing in leaps and bounds...............

So, of course, I am terribly behind on everything........... one day I will get caught up!

But, I have managed to do a little painting ..................

A chalkboard.............

paper towel holder.............

a book for a friend............

and a couple of tags.............

So, you see, my life is not ALL about Grandma stuff............... just MOSTLY!

Oh, and........

My sweet friend, Mary from Isabellas Closet

Is giving away a delightful Banner she has designed:

Please go visit her and see! http://isabellascloset.blogspot.com/

So........ Happy Day to everyone!! I'll be back soon........... honest............ and hopefully, with a special announcement too!!

I have decided......

that this just may be.......

the closest glimpse

we get of Heaven.....

until we actually

"go home"....

You know the saying............

"Better late than never".............

Well, I honestly thought I was too late for this:

But, when I went over to Kim's blog this afternoon, she says I am NOT too late!! Yayyyy! I am so happy, because I made something really special for this Giveaway............ just for you!

So, here is my giveaway..........

I am offering this sweet little handmade pillow

And a sweet book by Emilie Barnes,

Illustrated by Susan Rios~

I made the little pillow from an embroidery pattern I downloaded a while ago from this wonderful blog:

http://mytransfers.blogspot.com/

I think it is so sweet of Floresita to share these transfers!

Anyway, I made the sweet birdie emboidery, then framed it with blue gingham,

you may notice I used mostly "baby-blue" for the pillow, in honor of sweet Grandbaby-boy, who will soon be making his appearance :-)

And, here is the back of the pillow......

including the insert which is removable...

the pillow is 12" X 12"

I am also including this sweet little hardcover book for you....I have one myself, and when I found this one at the thrift store last Summer, I just knew it would be perfect to give away to one of my "bloggy buddies"

It truly is a sweet little book- 64 pages-filled with the most wonderful illustrations

I treasure mine, and I think you will enjoy it

So, there you have it~ My Cottage Charm Giveaway.........

I hope you will leave a message here for me, or you can email me at:

Delia252@aol.com

and I will be happy to enter you into my drawing!

I will draw a name 11:30PM, tomorrow night, May 31st

It's just my little way of saying Thank You!

Good Luck!
