Hi Betty:
Oh, you are so creative. If I was a Pink lover you would be my favorite choice for all things. You have a real flair and style. I have always admired your sewing and creativity in many things. You are my "IT" girl : )

I will e-mail you after I get off work.
Oh My Goodness! I Love Pink!
I was planning on showing you this cute sign that I bought at Good Goods for Beverly's Pink Saturday. Don't you love the little chicks in pink rose trimmed hats?! I also tried my hand at making Easter eggs from air dried clay. I wanted something Eastery for my buffet. I haven't decorated a...

Pink Roses on a Saturday
I've got pink roses on my mind. Have you seen Mary Engelbreit's latest book? This is a page from Mary Engelbreit's Mother Goose. Oh, I love it! I had to have it when I opened it and saw all of her adorable illustrations. I've been doing lots of step aerobics. Maybe I'll look like this s...
Hi Kelly:
You are awesome; I met you Sunday the 11th at Gilding the Lily and saw your mole skin journal; too cool. The size is neat too. I love the cupid hat. I know nothing about journaling, yet can appreciate, and the pages, when i saw it Sunday, seem to be glazed? I love the effect/affect of the medium.
Thank you for sharing your journal

love stretches
my journal page for today is... and, in case you didn't watch the video, here's the page from yesterday... which was inspired by this... which led to this... which all made for a very fun day.
Hi Betty:
You said you were going back to school; yeah for you!!!
What a lovely post!!! You girls and your love of pink : )
I attended a jewelry workshop yesterday at Gilding the Lily; Kristen Robinson was the instructor. Come over and see the bracelets we made. Nice women I get to surround myself with : )
Take care my friend

Jessie Loved Pink
Jessie Wilcox Smith was a prolific illustrator born in 1863. She was already 55 years old when she started illustrating the cover of Good Housekeeping Magazine. Her artwork was featured on every cover until 1933. Who says you can't start a new career after the age of 50? Which is what I wil...
Hi Betty:
I think the world of you. Looking good!!!
Now, it must be rubbing off on me because I ate healthy today; protein, fruits and good carbs. Yikes : ) I want to be healthier when I come up to do the mile long yard sale this year : ) So, no one says "Who is your round friend?" Hee, hee
You are the best!!!

I messed up part of my blog; I did something and my typelist of Beautiful blogs is on my front page too : (
Crocheting and Thinking
So you ask-What have I been doing lately?! Well, maybe you didn't ask, but I'm telling anyway. Not much. That's what I've been doing. Unless you count taking down the tree and putting away the gazillion boxes of decorations. Seemed like a gazillion anyway. I've been working on Valentine's...
Hi Andrea:
What an evocative photograph; ethereal, light and beautiful pulling one in!!!

January View
It's definitely January. The sun is playing a good game of hide and seek {mostly hiding}. I have so many pretty things to share with you, if only I could photograph them. I've been doing lots of creating and embroidery and sewing some other interesting things. There are books I want to tell y...
Hi Nicol:

Goodbye 2008
One year of loving and being loved back, meeting new friends, pretty drives, new creations, thrift store sales, decorating success and decorating flops, estate sale hunting, some terrific scores, lots of laughter and some tears too. I'm looking forward to what 2009 has in store for me! Go v...
Good Morning Betty:
The eggs with green chili's sounds good to me : )
Is it cold up there; it is down here : ( Oh, better than last summer's heat!!!
The photos are super.
I have my camera figured out now.
My TypePad blog has me struggling : (
Well, back to taking pictures for my blog.
Peace & Happiness in this coming year

Pink Hearts on a Saturday
I spent all morning trying to balance my bank account. That depressed me so I spent the rest of the day consciously avoiding the lure of the peanut butter fudge in the kitchen. I decided to get out the Tanya Whelan fabric that I have been hoarding and sew. I was working on heart shaped sac...

You look super!!! What a journey you have been on; I should be so lucky. Your site is too cool!!!

Food Porn and Holiday Wishes....
Let's get the "porn" out of the way.... This delight arrived in my mail the other day. As I opened it and slid off the lid, my body started tingling with delight...... fresh, homemade apple butter with just the right amount of sweet- heaven on my tongue- made by my darling girlfriend Katie. ...
Hi Betty:
Well, another year almost gone. It seems to go quicker every year : )
I hope I can get up there for the long yard sale. Then I can spend more than 10 minutes with you : )
Happiness to all

Hi Corey:
Coming into one with the universe is the ultimate Joy/Offering/Gift we can give and receive.
Buddha said: "You can explore the universe looking for somebody who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and you will not find that person anywhere."
Thank you in the form of sharing your "self"

Celebrate the beauty of who you are
During Mass last night, I could barely keep up with the homily that Priest shared. One my mind was on the dinner in the oven: would it burn, or become as dry as the Sahara? Two, I was certain I had left a candle lite in the dining room, and Three the sermon in French was going over my head ...
Corey (Hi : )
How cool to be thought of as the blond in a blond joke!!!

A Story of an American Blond at the French Open Market
Bundled-up, walking around the open market, hoping to find the last gifts on the long list of Christmas shopping that I had to do. Yes, I am a last minute shopper. If I buy gifts in advance, I give the gifts in advance... Hence not a good idea for me to...
Hi Betty:
I know for a fact it to be true as you have 2 of the coolest boys I have ever met!!!
"The coolest mom in town" What a super title they bestowed upon you : ) You truly are a deserving lady.
Merry Christmas and Happy days ahead

Do You Hear What I Hear?
mixing in the drums from the family room "studio" My interior decorating won't win any awards. I don't have the most beautiful home on the block. But, I have it on very good authority that I am the coolest mom in town. And I expect them to remember it when they hit it big some day!
Hi Betty:
Well, I finally wrote my first post and I am excited about it. Like I am on a new adventure again : )
Thank you for the assistance you gave to Mary and me this week.
I still have to figure how to do my sidebars and how to name my photo albums but little by little I am sure I will figure it out : )
Love those pink earrings!!!
Take care

Perfect Pink Packages!
I know it's Friday but I am posting a little early for Beverly's Pink Saturday. I just couldn't wait to show you the wonderful package that came in the mail today. Kathy at Shocking Pink Thread had a giveaway on her blog a few weeks ago and I won. I'm embarrassed to say that I forgot. ...
Hi Corey:
I really ran away from Fowler. My oldest sister, Betty, lived in Anaheim with her husband and first born. I think I was about 8 or 9 and my Mom said I could not go to the beach for the summer; this to a kid who loves water (I spent more time in the irrigation ditches catching polliwogs than anyone) so I took a bottle of Bayer aspirin and was saying good bye to a cruel world : ) Oh, I was full of myself back then yet fortunately for me, my Mom "understood me". She took me to the hospital (1 block from our house) where they pumped my stomach and my Mom took me home; my Mom nursed me back to health : ) I hitch hiked and my Dad picked me up on the old 99 : ) Yes, we drove down to Anaheim that weekend : ) I often wonder what book or television show I saw that scenario on. Oh, I use to read True confessions which to me were very worldly so perhaps that is where I got it from : )

A Souvenir... The Runaway and the Chocolate Chip Cookie
A souvenir- a memory.... I was seven years old the first and last time I ran away from home. I remember I was mad at my mother-- but at what I do not know. I put a few things in a brown paper bag, announced that I was leaving and walked towards the kitchen door. I do remember my mother saying...
