Happy Pink Saturday ~ June 18, 2011

Happy Pink Saturday!

On our recent trip we visited an antique store in Statham, Georgia. I found a perfect souvenir for a Pink Saturday post.  When I saw this hat pin I had to have it, I've always want one.

I don't really need a hat pin for this straw hat. It was a snug fit when I purchased it about 5 years ago after I lost my hair while having  chemotheraphy treatments. Hat pins only work well with a good amount of hair.

Pink Saturday Preemie

A pink bundle of joy almost 7 weeks earlier than expected.

On May 25th our new great granddaughter made her entrance into the world. She weighed 3 lbs. 13 oz. and was 17.25 inches long.

She now weighs 4 lbs. and is scheduled to come home tomorrow.

Happy Pink Saturday!

Wedding Blog Party

Stephanie at Angelic Accents is hosting a Wedding Day Blog Party on Friday, June 10th. and we are all invited to attend. Click on her blog name above or on her party button located on my side bar to visit her and all her party guests and peruse the Wedding Day posts.

For my post I thought I'd share a little about my own (not traditional) wedding day. Forty years ago, on a snowy Thanksgiving Day, we were married. It was quite an eventful day with many unusual twists and turns, but by the end of the day we were married and we celebrated with family and friends.  Unfortunately we only took pictures with a Polaroid camera and these are the best we have.

The year was 1971, can you tell?

The Bride and Groom

The kiss. Yes, we had a bestman and matron of honor.

Swapping Fun...

Fun! Fun! Fun! Swapping with friends is sooo much FUN!

Pam at Cloth and Creation and I decided to have a swap. She wanted one of my Tussie Mussies and I wanted some of her lovely vintage chenille fabric. I was excited to receive her package all the way from Australia.  Pam not only sent me the vintage fabric I wanted she also sent two gorgeous fabric tags that she made for me as well.

You are awesome Pam thank you!

Click on the Cloth and Creation name above to hop on over to visit Pam. She and her hubby just finished making a fantastic storage area in her studio space.

Pink Saturday May 21~There's going to be a party...

Happy Pink Saturday!
Next Saturday, May 28th. P.S. will be celebrating a birthday. Regretfully I will not be able to participate in the festivities on Saturday. We will be away on vacation. I may be able to do some visiting a few days later. So, I'm going to start the celebration in my post this week.

Happy Third Birthday Pink Saturday!!

Thank you Beverly for hosting this weekly fun event.

To join in on the celebration please click on the link above or here to visit Beverly and link up with well over 100 party participants.

I'd like to bring a few things to the party celebration:

Here is my grandkitty, Princess Penny, wearing her pink feathers and silk ribbon fur bow.  I think she ate too much cake and she just can't stay awake.

I have a new interest in making flowers out of paper and or fabric.

I've been experimenting a little.

Here is a paper rose in honor of our hostess Beverly.

Below are assorted fabric flowers. The photo is not as bright as I would like, it's been dreary and raining here for days.  

Tag Tuesday May 17-"Let me take you..."

Rebecca at the Blog Garden Challenge requests our tags feature a strawberry this week for the Tag Tuesday Challenge!

The background of my tag is a close up of a strawberry. The flowers and leaves are from the strawberry plant. The words on the tag and the music in the background are from the Beatles, "Strawberry Fields Forever."

Happy Pink Saturday

My six year old Granddaughter, Mary Jane, is a budding artist and perhaps a writer as well. She loves to color and draw. She's in kindergarten this year. 

I want to share with you the pages of a book she made for me for Mother's Day. The name of the book is Spring and the book is about what happens in spring.

Spring

written and illustrated by

Mary-Jane



The butterflies come




The flowers get water from the rain.




We go to the playground.



This too was a handmade gift from Mary Jane she presented it to me on Easter.

She added just enough pink glitter to qualify her decorated Easter pine cone for a Pink Saturday post.

I Hope you have enjoyed my Pink Saturday post.

If you would like to see more tributes to P. S. please hop over to see our hostess, Beverly at How Sweet The Sound.

Tag Tuesday May 10 Plus A New Challenge

The Tag Tuesday theme for this week is "The Deep!"

The Deep Ocean that is...

Thanks to Rebecca at the Blog Garden Challenge for the inspiration. 

I decided to use Rebecca's theme idea for my entry in Jeanie's (All My Art) new Door Tag Challenge.

Click on Rebecca or Jeanie's name to see other entries and join in on the fun.

Door Tag

All the images are from stamps. They are from a failed attempt pop-up card I made at a stamping workshop long ago. I didn't have the heart to toss the card. I guess I was saving it for these two challenges. Thanks Rebecca and Jeanie!

Pink Saturday May 7th

Happy Pink Saturday

A few weeks ago I was impatiently waiting for my spring flowers to start blooming so I purchased a Ranunculus or a Mache Rose. It was lovely and cheerful to look at and I enjoyed the blossoms. To keep it a bit longer I took a photograph of it then I altered it to make a digital background.

For more Pink Saturday offerings hop on over to How Sweet The Sound to visit our P.S. hostess Beverly and link up with well over a hundred lovers of pink.
