I just love vintage Christmas cards and have quite a collection.

Of course my favorites are the ones with pretty pink images.

Baby Jesus and pretty Angels surrounded by pink poinsettias...

Beautiful pink chapel on a winters night...

Merry Christmas!

May your days be merry, creative and bright!

Just wanted to share a few things I completed recently.

It's been so difficult to find time for painting or crafting lately.

I have been busy with all of the activities that come with school ending.

Where did this school year go ?!

Wishing you a beautiful Monday :)

Happy 2nd Anniversary Pink Saturday!

Pink Saturday turns 2 this weekend! Stop by and join the celebration with all of the other lovely participants. You can find them listed on the blog of Pink Saturday's wonderful hostess Beverly of How Sweet the Sound.

I have been participating in Pink Saturday for almost one year now (on and off) and have had the opportunity to meet some terrific blogger friends. I have been so inspired by your faith, kindness, creative spirit and strength. I so look forward to many more years of Pink Saturday. Thank you Beverly for bringing us together each Saturday to share and celebrate the beautiful, feminine, yet strong color PINK!

To celebrate this special 2nd Anniversary Pink Saturday with you,

I took out one of my favorite tea sets (with pretty pink roses) and made some hot tea ...

and baked a yummy Pink cake with lots of Pink icing just for us...

Of course the first piece goes to our dear Pink Saturday hostess Miss. Beverly!

Enjoy!

Now, because it's a special Pink Saturday celebration, I am having a little pink giveaway.

Part of the giveaway is in one of the photos above...

No... it is not a piece of cake , silly! :)

It's the pink pedestal dish that my teapot is sitting on in the first photo.

This is a sweet metal pedestal dish that I painted pink.

Along with the dish I am giving away a pink 3" pillar candle embellished with hand painted roses

and sparkly glass glitter. Here's a photo of the giveaway...

Happy Pink Saturday!

The New Year has started off really busy at our house and I have unfortunately not been able to blog much. And now cheerleading competitions have started, so pretty much every weekend we will be on the road to another competition. My daughter's squad is doing wonderfully. They placed first for their division in their first competition. It is so amazing how hard they train and the stunts they do. I have heard it said "If cheerleading was any easier, they'd call it football!" Hee, hee! We are super proud of her! :)

I did want to share a few things I have been working on. I will be listing them in the store soon. These are an assortment of hearts with clay roses for Valentine's Day or any time of the year.

Do you prefer to decorate with pink for Valentine's Day or red?

Hope you have a beautiful day!

Faux Cookie Ornaments

Wanted to share these with you.

I just finished "baking" up a batch of faux cookies. Topped with my handmade clay roses and leaves. Ready for hanging on the Christmas tree or just about anywhere!

So yummy and sweet, and best of all.... ZERO calories :)

These are available at Rose Brook Cottage.

Have a beautiful day!

Pink Saturday & A Pink Giveaway

Happy Pink Saturday!

Thank you Beverly of How Sweet the Sound for hosting this fun event each week!
It's been quite a while since I posted for Pink Saturday. But after a completely unexpected hospital stay and recuperating and then the crazy start of school, I am finally back into the swing of things. I actually had some time to paint and list a few items (well...2) on ebay. I just finished painting one of my pink signs that I leave blank for personalization.

I decided that it would be a giveaway for this Pink Saturday. This is my first giveaway of what I hope to be many more :)

This is a wooden sign painted soft pink. Pink roses were hand painted on top and bottom to frame your choice of personalization (name, or short phrase). It hangs by a soft pink seam binding ribbon. The sign measures approximately 14" by 9". Picture of sign is below, click on it for a closer view.

If you may be interested in winning this sign you could enter the as follows:

Leave a comment for this post for one entry. Follow this blog for one entry.If you both leave a comment and become a follower, you will be entered twice.If you mention the giveaway in a post of your own, let me know and that will count as an entry as well.

Drawing will be on Friday September 18th in the p.m. and posted Saturday September 19th in my Pink Saturday posting. Good Luck!

~ Have a wonderful weekend! Happy Pink Saturday! ~
