I want to remind you all to visit Beverly's site How Sweet the Sound and visit all the women who participate in Pink Saturday. You'll love all the PINK!~*~A shabby and chic little crown. Not just any crown, my sweet cherubs, but a PRINCESS CHICK CROWN. Yesssssss!!! It isn't very big either - only about 4" across and 5" tall. See my little chick? Hah.... It is painted and glitter sprinkled to look almost like a snow crown. It has roses.....squeeeeeeeeal(!)......and feathers and pearls and rhinestones and tissue paper garland and tulle netting in which the little pink chick rests........oh it's...
What I'm Creating and Some Awards
I've been lax in posting some awards I've received, but I do schedule my posts out for weeks at a time. That actually gives me more time to do the things I want to do like craft and read and decorate if I can sit and just do several posts at a time and then schedule them out for weeks. So today I'm catching up. However, just a tease. I'm working on this below. I'll see how it turns out when I "clean it up" and actually do what I want to make with it. Stay tuned, chicks. :-)~*~This award is from Pat over at The Urban Chic in Louisiana cajun country. I posted a tribute to the great people of Louisiana...
Shabby Sweet Birdhouse
I love to create these cute little birdhouses. I don't know what I'll do with them. I may sell them or maybe give them as gifts. But this one has roses fabric and a little chick on its perch and some vintage lace. And if you look closely at the last picture you can see the little fence I added. I put the roses in to look like they are growing on the fence. But the roof is my favorite part. I put a special white garland on it. Kinda shabby sweet, don't ya think?? *Smi...
Update on M.........
To those of you who read this story about M I just wanted to update you. Or if you're a new reader, I'd suggest you go read this touching story also about this veteran.I received word a week or so ago that M died. He was brought in to the hospital and his wife called my son who was on duty that night and he rushed down to the ER. M was so bad my son knew it wouldn't be long. I weep as I post this because of that young father leaving behind his 6 young children and a wife. I can't explain why this particular person and circumstance touched me so deeply but it has. Saying all the platitudes won't...
A Sweet Story and Pretty Plates
I found these plates the other day and just hung them. I'll post pictures of where they are later, but aren't they cute?? I adore each one - roses and chocolate.....just doesn't get any better than that!!~*~I had a doctor's appointment the other day to chat with my doctor and get refills for my prescriptions and just general chit chat to see how I am doing. I love my doctor. She's not only a beauty but she listens to me! Anyway, I had the blood work done early and went back after running some errands before the appointment.When I got there a lady and man were checking in with the receptionist....
China Cabinet Has a New Look
I finally got around to papering the inside of my china cabinet recently. I've been wanting to do it for some time now but other things keep cropping up. You wouldn't understand that now, would you???? Hmmm???? *Smile*Anyway, Love Bunny told me if I ever used Mod Podge again on something and then asked him to "get it off" - meaning to sand it off - he was absolutely NOT going to do it. Sigh....... So I had to use regular ol' Tacky Glue to hold the paper up. Men!! Well, it seems to be holding up just fine and I bought about 25 sheets of it and only used about 11 or 12 of them. I plan on papering...
The Happy Camper and Pink Saturday!
Sometimes you just have to please yourself! Presenting "The Happy Roses Camper"!! One of a kind and it's allllll mine for the trailer. :-)Hubby said I could do anything I wanted to with the popup camper if I agreed with him to buy it. Of course, I would agree no matter what but I guess he thought that would just sweeten the deal for me. Hey, works for me if I can cover the cushions with shabby pink roses to make it look romantic. Pretty purple and pink plates and glasses. Romantic pillows on the real one and the curtains are being planned and will be done by next summer's camping excursion. I'll...
Book on The "Art" of Blogging
I was in a bookstore the other day and found this delightful book called Artful Blogging and bought it. What a delight for the senses it was, especially the eye candy in there. I must say I was impressed that others love blogging as much as I do. Mine isn't especially "artful" blogging but it's "art" of another sort I believe. I think their photography skills are much better than mine, but I'm learning, chicks; I'm learning!! I think I'll get more of this publisher's boo...
My Latest Creation
Just so you all know, this post was composed over a week ago and might not make sense because Deb has gotten her prize now. I believe it's the one she would have chosen. Sorry if there is any confusion!~*~I've been wanting to create something just so very froufrou-y for a while and just have been lazy about it. But I have 2 valentine swaps and a 500th post giveaway and decided to make items just kinda over the top - in a classy way of course. ;-) Can I make ya laugh or what, chicks? So now..........This will be the first of 3 things I'm doing. So someone has a choice to make today. My Dolly's...
Can I Live Without These?!
I was chatting with hubs this afternoon and was wondering out loud at one point: can I live without some of this stuff? The answer is obviously "yes", but then again would I want to pass it up and never see it again? Nuuuuuuu, so I may be buying some of this stuff soon. Not a lot just a thing or two.Pink eggs? Yep!Bunnies and chicks togetherrrrRRRrrrrr!!! My favorites......uh hmmmm, and which my ebay group will understand a little bit better in the next month or so. *Wink*Anybody paint candles like this???? Let me know and you've got a sale, chickee....I seriously want some polka dot candles.Squeeeeeeeeeeeal,...
