~ Happy PINK Saturday ~

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY
DEAR BLOGGIE FRIENDS!

Today I decided to showcase a few pink plates and some vintage
pottery that I collect!

PLATES are essential in my decorating! I love using them
all over my home.  Many have been picked up for $1, which of course,
makes it even better!

I also show in this picture above, some of my PINK Coffee
Filter Roses I make.

Above, is the wall where my Piano resides.
I have a special place in my heart for
any hanpainted plates with ROSES!

Soft Pink Roses on a large 10 inch plate...don't see larger plates
as often as the 6 inches ones.  Plus a pretty
rose candle holder...in PINK.

The Many shades of PINK Pottery!

Last, is a sweet little PINK lambie which is right next to
a very treasured Aqua Vase my mom gave me.
This was a wedding gift to her 55+ years ago!
A special treasure indeed for me!

Thanks for visiting and leaving comments!
Go by Beverlys from HOW SWEET THE SOUND

participants...

Until next PINK Saturday!

A Special TAG Project ~ Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello there Blogging Friends!

I was a very busy gal these past few days...and I thought you
might like to see what I was up to.
I was asked last week by the sweet gal who is our
Bible Study leader to make some tags as a
special gift for each of the 45+ ladies in our class.
Of course, I willingly oblidged!

So I got out all my *STUFF* that I was going to use.

Yep, trims and paints...brought it all down to my kitchen
table cause I needed to spread out!
(Shhhhh...don't tell anyone, but my studio is a MESS!)

Then I began by gathering or making tags w/heavy
card stock paper..all in the Fall Pallet.


And here you see above tags that are now ready to be embellished.
I used some Vintage 100 year old sheet music and
Modge Podged it to the tags..I also threw in
some other fun fall hued papers too, to mix things up.
Then I began to paint my own rose on ALL of those 45
tags...shewww, that was a feat in itself...
but...
after they all dried I then added some, bling, fun trims,
laces and a pretty ribbon..and then they were done!


I forget to mention the sweet POEM that was
overlayed onto the papers...

it reads:

PEOPLE, are like Stained Glass Windows,
They sparkle and shine when they are out,
but...when the dark times comes in,
Their true beauty is revealed,
ONLY, if there is a Light from Within.

We have been doing a Precepts study on the Last book of the
bible, REVELATIONS. And our leaded wanted
this TAG to reflect what we are learning about the
7 churches that were given the message from
God through John.
God describes Jesus as our LampSTAND who
lights the 7 churches.  But if their lights
are not lit...what does that mean?
A wonderful reminder to me on the LIGHT
that I have been given inside of me when
Jesus became my precious Savior!

Well...I am going to be taking a few days off.  I'll
be spending time w/my daughter and hubbys'
Nephew and their 2 little guys.
Be sure to stop back on Saturday for another
PINK Saturday Post...until then,

HAPPY Thanksgiving
DEAR
blogging Friends..I TREASURE each of
you and your friendship!
I am indeed very blessed!

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!!!

GOOD Pink Morning my Sweet Blogging Friends!

Before I get going to far, I want to wish each of you a
BLESSED Thanksgiving!!!
We are ALL so fortunate to living in a country where we can be
thankful for the rich heritage we have, in worship and
such freedoms that many do not have.
I hope to not loose sight of this.

Okay...today is PINK Pumpkin day!
Well...I have some darling FALL decor in pink and before it
all goes back into storage for another year
I thought you all might enjoy it.


This beautiful PUMPKIN Collage was a swap presentation for my dear
friend Ele of Pink Prarie Lady..It really is SOOOO clever!

These next 2 pictures are of some soft fabric pumpkin I have.  Again
in another swap, I was bestowed the darling florally pink pumpkin made for me
by Amy of BunnyRose Cottage.

Well...that's its for this Saturday!
STOP by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound to check out all the
other Participants!

HAPPY PINK to ALL!!!

Thanksgiving! Some Vintage Images



Hi Bloggie Friends!!!

Do you like my Winter l@@k?
I guess I am getting into the Christmas Spirit early this year!
Hubs and I have already talked about how we are NOT
waiting til the 2nd week in December to put things out.

Keep praying you wonderful prayer warriors.
GOD is busy behind the scenes working
but playing the waiting game after
3 interview in 2 weeks will get harder
and harder as the time passes.
Many Thanks!

Okay..today I have been going through and found some wonderful Vintage
Post Cards scenes of Thanksgiving. 
I really do enjoy Thanksgiving and what it represents
to our Great Country.
May we NOT forget those who came over
to create a nation that could worship
GOD as they chose.
Those early American Pilgrims paved the
way for what we so enjoy today.
FREEDOM!!!







Enjoy!
And...if I have repeated myself in showing these...please
pardon my memory!

Have  a Blessed day Everyone!

Look What I've Been Up To

Blogging Friends, Hello!

Well, this momma's been doing a lot of reminiscing of late. 
With my daughter Michaela's Senior year in full swing, I am constantly filled with so many mixed emotions. 
Where did my precious little girl go? The time has flown by
so quickly!

From my lively toe headed rambunctious blond...
to the gorgeous girl she has become...
my heart swells with Momma pride.
God has been so good to me!
I AM blessed!


This past Saturday my hubby and I spent 2 hours with our neighbor working on this beautiful collage, pictured below.
He graciously agreed  in August to take Michaela's Senior pictures for us...
and we were NOT disappointed.
 


His signature is creating a Collage with our top 6-7 picture choices.
What a hard time we had with the 175 pictures he took narrowing down
our Favorites.
I just could NOT get over how he was
able to capture OUR
Michaela.



A Grateful Lorena
