Birthday card I made

Look at me posting on my blog TWICE in one week :)

I made this card and wanted to show you it before I put it in the mail.  My friend Lisa's birthday is February 3rd and I more surprisingly I even have her card ready to go into the mail....maybe this year WILL be different for me.

It is a "pocket" card and this is the outside of it I blinged her initials "L" and "J" on the flaps of the outside and put some flowers and pearls.

 Here is the inside of the card I made

And the back of the card.

I hope she likes it

Thanks for visiting!!!!

Happy Pink Saturday!!!!!

I don't have any new Pink things in my home to share right now so I thought I would share some Pink things I found in Pinterest.  

In Pinterest World I certainly would be driving a pink car

And living in a pink house

With a pink door

With Pink stenciled stairs

I would be wearing something like this

And this

Sleeping in something like this

With this above my bed

And hanging my laundry to dry

While I read these pink books

Oh it is so nice to dream about pink in my pink world isn't it?

Happy Pink Saturday

Please join Beverly at How Sweet The Sound

and

Have a Pink Day!!!

Happy Holidays

I wanted to show you the cute little card I made tonight.  Since I put up my tree I had to take down my craft table so I haven't made anything.  I have started several things before I put up my tree.

I loved the image I found on Pinterest....so cute

You know how some days you wish you could stay home under the covers?  How as soon as you open your eyes for the morning that you just want to stay home in bed?

Well I was having one of those days.  I still have not found another job and Prince Charming hasn't shown up either.  It is getting closer to Christmas and I feel so bad I have not been able to buy my boys any gifts for Christmas, not so much my older boys but my 17 year old.  He understands of course of our financial situation and he hasn't said too much but I as a mother you want to do everything you can for your children. 

Then when you least expect it you get a package in the mail and it JUST MAKES YOUR DAY!!!!

I received a very special package today from a friend and it makes you realize how wonderful your friends are and how special they make you feel.

Family is a given they just have to put up with you because you are family.  But friends they are there when they are needed,  even though you never even asked them to be.  They say the special thing to you  and at the very moment when you feel you so alone. 

I am so blessed to have my friends and also all of you my blogging friends!!!!

So thankful that I have found ya'll and grateful for all the sweet comments you leave on my blog.

Thank you so much!!!

May your Holidays be filled with love and laughter........and friends

Suzann ~xoxo~

Merry Pink Saturday!!!!

May your day be filled with love

I love these plates from Pfaltzgraff.  I only bought a place setting for 4 back in the early 90's  I wish I would have bought more.
