Pink Dresser !!!

I had computer problems again yesterday - so I've been " down " since then - but am back " up " again!!!  Sorry if I haven't replied to your comments - I'm going to do my best to catch up today :)

And here I go again - changing things because they're hanging around a leetle too long for my liking!!!

Remember this?  ( you can see the transformation HERE )

Well it would seem no one else liked it as much as I did

or weren't impressed with my shabbifying this piece

and so I had no choice but to change it up a little bit

and even though I haven't had much luck with pink - I think this looks so sweet for a little girl's room

I'm not even sure how I made this color - it was in one of my " recipe " bottles - where I mix colors up when I get to the end of tins..............

but it's such a soft pretty color whatever it is

I was trying to organize a little this week - trying would be the operational word here - and came across these

They're panels from the dollar store - which I use as a privacy blind in my office ( being in a row house you absolutely need privacy blinds )

and for some reason I've never noticed the hearts in them !!!
but this dresser is meant to be in a little " sweetheart's " bedroom - and so hearts were added
using the panels as a stencil - a " subtle " touch was all I wanted

And now my fingers are crossed that someone has the perfect spot in a little girl's room for this!

Have a wonderful day all!!!

Partying over Here !!!

I LOVE giving - but wow - GETTING can be amazing too!!!

I'm a giver - I think by nature most people are - there's nothing like feeling you've contributed to someone's happiness by " giving " something -
A special moment -
Advice -
A dinner -
A token of your appreciation -
Or a small gift that says " I thought of you "

BUT - WOW - I LOVE " GETTING " JUST AS MUCH LOL
I REALLY DO!!!

And I can't tell you how over the top thrilled I was to receive a package last week from
Tina at What We Keep

Hi Tina!!!

There's a group of us ladies that meet regularly on a Facebook group - to discuss our day - or complain
or laugh - or just connect -
We help each other out- ask each other's opinions and encourage each other through this blogging journey we're all on.

Tina decided to send us all a gift each - something she created - as a way to connect the group even more.

Here's what she made

A gorgeous tea towel - embroidered with a hen

My photography skills - or lack thereof - can't possibly do this justice - so I'm using every tool on Pic Monkey that I possibly can

It's a French Hen - you can tell it's a French Hen because she's wearing a beret and a scarf - a North American Hen would have a baseball cap on
I can't tell you how much I adore this - really really adore this

Tina says - USE IT
Suzan says - NEVER - this is what I keep Tina - for always.............

Suzan says - John, you haven't bought me flowers in a very long time
John says - You usually buy them for yourself............
Suzan says - Well if you were thinking of getting me some - I'd love a couple of pink roses - and a couple of batches of carnations
John says - Where did this come from?
Suzan says - I'm just saying if you were thinking of picking me up so-
John interrupts - This isn't for the blog, is it?
Suzan says - Do you think I eat, drink, sleep the blog?
John says - Yeah actually, I do
Suzan says - so forget about the flowers..................

BUT I GOT THEM AFTER ALL - he's the best - not only does he supply vocal content for my blog -
he sometimes supplies the props as well.
aren't they beautiful?
and exactly what I needed for this post

They're sitting in a milk jug purchased from the Dollar Store

A HUGE thanks to you Tina - you touched my heart - by taking the time to create something from yours.
Muwahhhhhhh !!!

Moments, everybody, it's all about the moments.................

Have a beautiful weekend all!
