Little Pink Roses Plate - FREE!!!!

Vickie won the plate!! Congratulations, my chickadee!

Wow, I cannot believe it's been a week since I posted. I'll have an announcement soon................

Hmmmm, now what do I do with this little plate, huh?!?!

Okay, the first one to email me gets this little plate to adorn their home. I just couldn't resist buying it yesterday and giving it away to one of my rose-loving PRH sisters. You can post a comment here and it'll be emailed to me or a direct email. Whoever is first gets it!! Surprise!!

Ooooh My, Look What I Got Today!!!!!!


I got a box in the mail today and all I could say was "ooohhhoooo, hoooohoooo, hoooooooh, aaaahhhh, and oh and ah for a good 30 seconds!! Not only the gorgeous pumpkin (please click to enlarge this beauty!), but 2 tags (I have several message boards around my house) and a stunning little, well, not so little, charm to hang. Celeste outdid herself on this one because it is gorgeously exquisite. I'm so happy I could just burst!!! This is from our "Great Pumpkin Swap" that this group of wonderfully talented, sweet, kind, supportive women that I've ever had the privilege to meet, have been having on our group. Group?!?! Noooooon noooo, it's a true Sisterhood! They are just fantastic!! Thank you, Celeste, from the top of my fluffy haired head to my pedicured toes!!

My Sweet Birdhouse Collection







I was going to dust today. Yeah, yeah, I know......DUST?!?! Yep! Anyway, as I was taking these off the tables and shelves I thought, "Maybe I could put them on my blog for all to see." So here they are. I love birdhouses. Some I bought and some of these I've made. I didn't do the painted ones. The log and wood large ones are 2 I made when we lived in California, so they're over 14 years old. And if you look reeeealllly close you can see the dust! Now I'll go dust them and go shower. Hah!!!

My new book arrived today!!!


Look what UPS brought me today: 2 books I ordered last week! I'm soooo excited to sit down tonight and see what little treasures and eye candy await me. Ooooooh, it's almost like a kid in a candy shop today seeing just the covers of those 2 magical books. Hey, I might even share some of the photos in there for y'all to see, chicks!! I'm grinning like a man on his wedding night. I'm so easy to make happy - a book or a tag or a piece of shabby roses fabric. :-) I am such a cheap date, gals!!

Sassy & Saucy 50s Glam Tags!




The first photo is what came in the mail today as a gift I won from Bertie of auntmayscottage! Oh, it is so gracious and gorgeous. Thank you, Bertie. It was a combined package of a drawing I won and a gift for the anniversary of our group I started a year ago. I just love the women in our group. They are ALL so wonderful.
~*~
The last 2 photos are some "glitz and glam from the 50s" tags I did today. Pretty roses fabric, feathers, buttons, porcelain roses, ribbon roses, snippets of lace and snippets of yarns and rick rack. I think my next ones will be paper though. I think I'm gonna like paper better than fabric.
