Ok  on to Pink Saturday,,,,,last Saturday I showed you my sweet Princess Madison,,,, well sorry but I am going to be showing her again,,,,, hehehe  this time it is her bed room that she stays in when she is with her Daddy,,, our son,,,,, we had a new bed for her but it was a blue color,,, and well that just won’t do for a Princess,, so when we were home last I bought some creamy white spray paint and went to town,,,, it looks so much better now….  And Heather our daughter went and bought her some new Princess bedding for it….. it had all the Princesses on it.. Cinderella,,  Bell, Sleeping Beauty,,,  ok only three,,,  Madison’s favorite is Cinderella,,,, but she call’s her Lella….. love how she says her name,,, oh and she calls Sleeping Beauty,,,,, booty,,,  she knows who each one is she is 2 yrs old,, her older brother Zachary just turned 7 he has his own room now too…. they both love it……  well Zach took over our old room,,,, so when we can get back we have to sleep with Sponge Bob,,, and Cars,,,, lol just too funny for words…

HAVE NOT BEEN UP TOO MUCH;

Good afternoon ladies,,, I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful week so far. We have been having some wonderful days here with a bit of thunderstorms,,, which I don’t mind. I have been not feeling well the past few day’s, so I have not been around much today is a pretty good one so I thought I had better do a post before you all forget about me…. lol  Since I am having a good day,,, I thought I would do some decorating and making things look more homey…. My sweet D.H. hung my small book shelf so I could set out some of my Tea Cups… and a few prints….

I have also been doing some planting out on our balcony, still have a ways to go but it will get there. I dug up one of my miniature Yellow Roses to bring back, she seems to love it here.. Over the weekend we went to find a few flowers to set out.. I will just keep quite and show you what I have done….

  

Sorry is some are a bit blurry,,, so far I like how it is set up,,,,, but as you know I like to change things up a bit and move things around…

I have missed my sweet pretty tea cups…. I just might have to make a cup of tea now….. :)

My niece Jenny gave me these silver salt and pepper shakers… I love them…..

I Love this creamy vase with the pretty Roses on it,, found it at Jo-Ann’s a few yrs ago……. love iiiiitttt!!!

And our table…. I have to get some candles for the holders…. and I am not sure if I like this or not,,, so I will just live with it a bit and see…   I still have some prints that need to be hung,, just not sure where yet…lol  I am so slow at finding homes for my pretties,,, drives my honey nuts…. poor guy….. now I will show you some of my pretty plants….

My two blue Hydrangeas,,,, and the yellow rose bush.. I need to find a pretty pot for my Salvia,,,, they get the just the right amount of Sunshine…..

See the painted pot on top,,,, well my oldest grand son Paul,, painted that for me when he was little,,, and he is going to be 17 in a few month’s…. Wow time sure flies by…. I so love it….

Don’t you just adore Gerber Daisy’s…… love this color,,,

  I have lots of plans for our little out door area… I am planning on putting up some flower boxes that hang on the railing,, I will be able to fit five of them, so I am looking forward to that….. Well that is what I have been up too…..  I hope you enjoyed your visit,,, I know I so enjoy reading your lovely comments…..  Have a wonderful day,, and I will be by to pay you a visit….

MY RED ROSE

Good  afternoon; I hope you all are having a great week so far. The weather here is so gorgeous warm and sunny,,, I hope you are enjoying the same where you are. Now I want to share with you my Beautiful Red Rose Pin, I won in a give a way…. I received it in the mail yesterday,,, I was so excited when I saw the sweet package addressed to little ol’ me.,  from Lorena,, from Rose Chick Friends…. she does the most amazing Rose’s ,, and she makes them by hand… you should stop by her blog and see all the gorgeous Flowers she makes… I thank you so much Lorena for drawing my name… I will show you now my Red Rose..

 

Look how pretty it is,,, it looks like velvet… the red is just a gorgeous deep one…. love each petal how Lorena shaped each one.. so lovely..

Don’t ya just love it,,,,,,,,,, I can’t wait to ware it it is a good size too,, should have put something next to it to give you an idea of the size…  I have some really great shirts and a scarf to ware it with…… and I love pins,,, all kinds….. I have a ton of them… (not kidding)hehe   Thank you Lorena for my gorgeous Red Rose…..

  Now as for my unpacking and finding new homes for my pretties------------------ well that is another story,, it is going to take me awhile to find the right place for them…. I don’t hurry when I am redoing a room or in this case moving,,,, to hang up things or place them on tables or shelves… It takes me forever it seems,, to find where to put them,,,,,, am I alone in this or is there someone out there like me……. I will show you some of my mess I have right now…..

Hmmmmmm someday we will be able to use this table for what it is meant for,,, eating.

Don’t you just love my Pink bubble wrap…….. this box holds my Tea cups and saucers, I can’t wait to get them all out and look at them…… I have missed them…. silly I know but I did..

Gee it looks like we are just moving in,, instead of being here for almost a year……lol  Now I do have a place to up my peg shelf there on the floor,, it is going on a wall in our bed room…. and the wall shelf setting next to it,,, is going up above the dinning table it will hold my Tea cups….. but all the rest is still waiting for a home…..(sigh)

Our heavy and large mantle was not fun bringing up 4 flights of stairs,, but we did it… I love where it sits.. I plan on painting the inside black and do a mosaic on the surround instead of the faux marbling… which was there when we bought it…

I am thinking of painting it a creamy white, not sure yet,,,,, what would you do------ paint it or leave it alone?????    I think the painting is too high will have to lower it….  

  Well that is what I have been up too. I will do a post on the Easter with the family this week too,,,,, and then the night out with the girls from school….. 

I hope you enjoyed my post and photos….. I will be making my rounds to visit you all later….. I have been slow in doing that,,,, so sorry  I will get to you I promise.. 

As always I thank you for taking the time to stop by my humble blog and for you sweet comments,,, is enjoy reading….. So until next time; God Bless;

I was so happy that I was there to see it bloom in all its glory….. just don’t look at the nasty weeds just gaze your eye balls at the tree….

Now you know I just had to show you a close up……. don’t ya love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wish I could have brought it back with me…… sigh……………….

This is my sweet neighbor’s tree,,, just like cotton balls all over.

OH dear there are those nasty weeds again,,,,,,, they just pop up all over….. I love the sent of Hyacinths, when the wind blew the air was filled with the sent of them….. sniff sniff…… can you smell them????? 

I even went to my daughter’s house to take a few to share with you…. she was excited about that,,, they have worked so hard to get their yard looking pretty, and they did a great job….

This is her tree,,,, the flowers on this one are so thick and full…. what a great back drop for photos…… like snow…..oops…. did not mean to mention that word….

This is the side of her house,,, her Tulips are really popping up…. and so pretty…. love her butterfly house.

The front of the house….

I really love her new yard lights,,, solar too…. I like that kind,,,,easy to use…..

Heather has some gorgeous colors,,,,, love the deep purple…. she really has a green thumb….. hmmmmmmm wonder where she gets it……… (wink)

 

OH look! it is the chair I made for her last year……. wonder how that got in the photo…….. hehehehe she usually has it out front in the flower bed…. but put it there during the winter…..  Just a bit of Spring for you all from Indiana for you to enjoy….. The weather was really great….  Our Easter was just wonderful, all my kids and grandkids were there and a few other family members too…. I will be doing a post about it soon….. and I was able to make our class of 77 dinner with the girls too,,,, which was so Great!!! we were crazy, I am surprised the restaurant did not kick us out for being too loud…… lol;  there were 15 of us…. I will be doing a post on that as well,,,, and of course I took photos…..
