Pink on the book

Welcome to another bright and pink, Pink Saturday♥

I am a bit of a broken record lately as I do get on “kicks” and my current one is shopping the big bad book stores.

I found the best books in the 75% off bin at Barnes & Noble♥

All these for less than $10!

I love the copy of Anne, it is really great!

and I got looks, for how loud I was when I found this beauty!!!

I got it for $5.52, I love also getting my 10% off everything I buy there♥

But I had to have this little beauty 

How cute is she? How can you not love a Hedgehog named Arugula??

She is having a tea party :)

She is very precise and has everything perfect for all her friends!

This is such a sweet book that I am adding to my Hedgehog book collection. You will hear more about Hedgehogs here I’m sure ;)

Please visit my sweet Pink friend Debbie @ Simply Debbie for her sweet pinks♥

And see sweet Beverly @ How Sweet the Sound for all our Pink Friends♥

Hugs, Lisa

Oh no not again!!

So all week I have only had internet very seldom and most of the time for  less than 1 min at a time. 

Needless to say I have spent several hours on the phone with AT&T all week. They will be out on Saturday to "look" at it all in person. Keep your fingers crossed!!! I can read your posts but by the time I get your comment typed the connection is gone and throws me out. Sorry, you guys have had great posts this week ♥ So I am stuck ;) reading books . And using Live Writer to do posts I cannot publish :( Hope I can get up my Pink Saturday post and that my internet will be fixed, PERMANENTLY!

Hugs, Lisa

I have no will power

This could be a super long post of ALL I have no will power for but I will just focus on one item today.

Tote bags

Another one.

In my weak defense these are $6.99 at Borders Books when you purchase 2 items.

This was one

Cute little retro notebook.

I will talk about notebooks later ;)

I love Paperchase, being English and all and me being such a nut for all that is English!!!

I love this tote is is so much bigger than my Mag bag

So I can take EVERYTHING with me now!

Now I can go shopping ;)

It will hold tons of more tote bags! LOL

Borders is doing a good job of sending great coupons and they have fun stuff!

LOVE Books you know ;)

Hugs, Lisa

Pink Cupcakes

I love pink cupcakes

They are super duper cute!

I must confess that I don’t really make cupcakes :(

I know they are easy, I just am not a baker. I can  cook and enjoy it but cakes and cookies are not my thing.

I do have these

 

and these

 

Ok I have a lot of these

 

My pink collection is my favorite ;)

 

There are super fun ways to use these even if not for cupcakes.

Skirts on mice

Around nut cups for party favors,

To organize small items in drawers or a box,

to catch dripping popsicles,

Well they are super handy!

What is your favorite way to use a cupcake liner?

Hope you all have  a super happy Pink Saturday!

Visit Beverly for a full day of Pink!

My Kitchen!

Thanks for all your sweet comments about my kitchen♥

I love my stuff, the room on the other hand is hard to use and I really don’t cook much because of it!

Here are a few other shots

My new table in pink!

I swear I have more but cannot find them!

Happy Friday!

Hugs, Lisa

ps Today is my Mom’s 61st Birthday♥

Have you heard the news?

I am a kitchen freak,

old

new

doesn't matter

I love kitchens and their stuff!

Mine, as you can see, is a mish-mash of both and I love it all.

Until I have to dust ;)

BUT the news is our cool friends at

Where Women Create

have made

Can you stand it!

Well at least a little as it will not be here until December 1st!

Ugh…

Well it will be fun to dream!

Visit Where Women Cook for a list of the great ladies to be featured.

I am already drooling.

My weekend

 

I have been fighting this. Some stupid tracking program wouldn’t let my computer send out info. I had no email for 2 days!!

Finally figured out what it was and got my antivirus to unload the dang thing! YUCK!

I also helped my sister move her family into their new home. I haven’t seen them at all today. Mixed emotions but I don’t miss the 3 hours of screaming that started at 9 pm every night.

I have tomorrow off and will once again feel guilty I have not made a dentist appointment for one of the many things I need to have done. Need to get on that before my teeth start hurting! YUCK!

Hope you all had a good Monday. There are many Birthdays in Blogland this week so Happy Birthday everybody!

Hugs, Lisa

Pink Saturday!

Welcome to another great Pink Saturday!

Please join us @ Beverly’s for a full dose of Pink!

I bought this

I know you will be shocked but it DID NOT come from Barnes & Noble, I know BUT it did come from Borders!

They sent me a 40% off coupon for a tote  or a journal. Since they have Paperchase I was very excited!

A Mag Bag how perfect for me??

It is not as easy to see but the background is light pink and I love the flowers!

This will hold me ‘til I hit the jackpot and can order  a Cath Kidston!

Off to load up my mags for travel!

And for fun ;)

 

I am so happy to have these with me all the time ;)

Happy Pink Saturday!

Hugs, Lisa

It’s back!

I’m so excited!

I have been enjoying this since Friday night!

I am devouring every bit and piece of it!

This will be my new inspiration note book ;)

Hugs, Lisa

Wish me luck

I am taking all three Nephews/brothers to see this. They are barely hanging together now.

I am an idiot!

Please if you know how to explain to them they will really love having each other one day let me know!!!

Any help will be greatly appreciated ;)

Hugs, Lisa

Pink Elephants!!

Happy Pink Saturday!

I hope everyone had a great Holiday weekend last week. I am glad to be back to visit my sweet Pink friends!

Please visit Beverly @ How Sweet the Sound for more pink fun!

I was very lucky this past week to receive a very special gift from a super sweet friend.

Can you stand it!!

Yes that is right I have a French Bear original!!

Thank you my sweet friend Margaret! I could not live without her now ;)

She is just way too lovely!!

Here she is on the “shelf”

Not sure she will stay in this spot but I can see her well there and she is lovely!!

I was also lucky enough to get a prize from my mom !

See the sweet little tea cup and saucer!!

I really am feeling the love!!

Hope you all have had a great couple of weeks and I will be a better blog friend  now that I feel better!

Happy Pink Saturday!

Hugs, Lisa♥

What I’ve been up to

Over the last two weeks I have joined 2 Blog Parties

Went to a birthday party for my granddad

A baby shower for my boss

I made these!

Watched this

 

With the boys, wonderful by the way!

Watched this with my friend from work

Best one yet!

A lot of this

I have been sick so sleeping is all I could do

a little of this

I am hooked!

A small bit of this

Like FB better now!

Not enough of this

I failed at my challenge to read 3 books in 3 weeks, I also gathered 5 more to read ;)

A lot of this

Don’t have a clothes line, wish I did it would make wash more fun.

And basically not much else, oh yea, I worked even on the 4th!

So I hope everyone moved to the last half of 2010 smoothly and I promise I will be a better blog friend/sister in the coming weeks!

Hugs, Lisa
