Pink Saturday~ Welcome Spring!

Happy Pink Saturday everyone & Happy first day of Spring!

This is my favourite time of the year! The songbirds are making their way back and the earth is starting to wake up from its long Winter slumber. Even we humans seem to wake up a bit more too and we're anticipating something good to happen! There is an excitement in the air and everyone is making plans for their garden and vacation.


I got myself a new velour hoody, and it's pink; well, fuchsia actually!


You all know how much I love little birdies and flowers, right?

Last week, when I visited Tina's blog http://enchantedrosestudio.blogspot.com/ I couldn't help but be inspired by her beautiful makeover of a tiered cake plate filled with lovely blooms. She is such a gifted artist and I always enjoy visiting her blog. Her creation is much lovelier than mine, but this is my Springtime creation of a tiered dish with a little birdie perched on top!

I filled it full of delicate pink hydrangea blooms. Even my little fairy is enjoying the flowers. A closeup of the birdie.I love how they look with the sun shining on them. One of these days, I'll swap out the hydrangea blossoms for some jelly beans!


Remember the five dollar pink roses I got at the grocery store a couple of weeks ago?
Well, here they are, all dried and tied up with a beautiful ribbon.

For my last pink of the day, I would like to share one of the first Pink Saturday pinks I posted.... This is the little rocking horse door stopper which I tole-painted back in the early nineties. It was one of the first pieces I ever did.

Well, my pink friends, those are my pinks for this first day of Spring. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend filled with pink and other good things. Now I hope you will make your way over to Beverly's and peruse her party of pinkies. http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/

I Got Me Some Awards!

Hello dear bloggy friends~ Hope you're all having a beautiful day!




I have been given some awards over the last while and I would like to share them with you.


The first one came from a furry friend named Sitka over at "All God's Creatures." http://andrealuvsallgodscreatures.blogspot.com/ Sitka's owner Andrea also has a blog and you can visit her at "Arise2Write." http://arise2write.blogspot.co/
I appreciate Andrea because she is a prayer warrior and is diligent in storming the heavens on behalf of someone's needs.

Thank you Sitka!

The next one came from my friend Heather at "Weaving God's Word Into Our Lives." http://thewattsfamilyhomeschool.blogspot.com/ Heather has a charming blog where she shares about her faith and her family. Why not stop over for a cup of tea and a chit-chat? I know she would love to hear from you!


Thank you Heather!


The most recent one I received is from my friend Kelly at "ChicknCharge." http://chickncharge.blogspot.com/ Kelly also loves the Lord and talks about her faith and all the things that are important to her. I hope you will stop over and pay her a visit too. Her blog door is always open!

Thank you Kelly!



Now, I am supposed to pass these awards along to a certain number of people. But if you have been following my blog for any length of time, you know that I don't like to play favourites and I don't wish to hurt anyone's feelings by leaving someone out. So, if you would like any one of these awards, you are most welcome to take them with my blessing. Have a lovely day everyone!
