Please visit our sweet Beverly @ How Sweet the Sound for all the pinkies joining this week♥

I was looking through my pictures of my pinks and the first thing I noticed  is how MUCH I have added to my room. lol

Here is the first redo of my room

I bought the boxes and gathered my pinks. It doesn’t look like this any more

This was Christmas stuff and a few new critters in Pink♥

Here it is today. My pinks all summer time!

I love all my junk, it makes me smile to look at and to play with when I move it around.

I hope you enjoy your toys too!

“Green” Pink Saturday

This week I want to share my favorite new magazine!!!

Mary Jane’s Farm!!

The new Feb/Mar 2010 issue is Valentine of course, but it has really great vintage pinks I want to share!

The graphics in this magazine are amazing. It is printed on recycled paper and has really great ideas for going green! Even for city girls!

Vintage Valentine images!!

New images!

Look at these vintage pinks!!

This pin keep is amazing! I so want one of these cottage cheese containers.

Pink trunk!!

These pin keeps in the Jell-O molds are just the best!

Cupcakes!

This magazine has so much fun and exciting ideas it takes me hours to go through it all. I am seriously thinking of making it my guide for my new year and new life I am starting in 2010. I want to do more for me and for others and the environment!

Off to read more and to visit you sweeties!!

Happy Pink Saturday!

Please visit http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/ for all the other great ladies this week!

Big Pink Hugs, Lisa

Hi!! I have so many wonderful comments thanks!! I have a subscription but Barnes and Nobles carries this magazine and Borders Books also. It shouldn't be a regional thing but if it wasn't selling they may not still carry it. It is about gardening and farming and cooking, etc. so you may need to look in a store that sells a wide range and in the gardening section! Good Luck! The link above will take you to the site. I found one and saw the Christmas one on a friends blog and had to just go ahead and get a subscription. It is worth the money even if you cut out the pictures and use them on projects. The paper is recycled so it is not thin and shiny it is great!!

Hugs!!!

Christmas Wrap up

Just a quick post of my Christmas goodies and a big thank you to the ladies who had great giveaways that I won!

First here are my Trader Joes’ Flowers

They were little buds and opened up every day. This is only about half way open and I still have them after 3 weeks and they were all of $3.99!!

This is my teddy bear brush and comb set. Santa brought these to me from Suzanna’s Antiques!

This pink pearl set is from my mom! She said it was the year of Pink!

She also gave me these great repro beads!

I was lucky enough to get the exact calendar I wanted. I usually wait for them to go on sale and then I have to pick from what is left I lucked out this year!

I “have” to get a Lang calendar because I have this frame for them and they are the only ones big enough to fit.

It hangs in my kitchen and they are so inspirational. Mine for last year was the Breast Cancer Awareness one and it featured the 23rd Psalm. Which is my very favorite and I just loved walking by it everyday! This one says “In everything give thanks” I just have to smile!

The Christmas is put away and all of the celebrating is over. And I am ready for 2010!

I am looking forward to spending another great year here with you my friends in blogland!

This sweet pack of goodies is from Jonnie @ Jonnie’s Shabby Cottage Creations and More I won in July. I was the second one picked as the first winner didn’t respond. Then I didn’t answer for about a month. And then she mailed it and after a month I let her know it had not arrived. She tried to find it and was set to make me another one when the first of December it arrives back from the post office! I got it in a few days after the second sending but my goodies are well traveled. What stories they can tell. It is pink and very Valentine so I think it arrived right on time!

Monica @ Happy Nester gave away this great card holder. I was so excited. I almost ran over to Pier One and bought one when I saw her give away, I was so glad I won!!

She added this sweet little book to it. Got to love Gooseberry Patch!

Laurie Star  was sweet enough to offer this great set of goodies at Christmas! I received the package Christmas Eve. You know I didn’t wait a day to open so I had it under the tree too!

I will be crafting up a storm. It is great to have goodies all ready when you go to craft!

Thanks Ladies!! I had the best month in Blogland! And thanks to everyone for sharing your great holiday goodies and traditions. My first Christmas in Blogland was very lovely!

Hugs, Lisa

Hi ladies!! I had a bad mishap with my comment moderation and was trying to reject one and it rejected HALF!!!!  To Laurie, Claudia, Deb, Beansie and more I would NEVER reject your comments on purpose! You may never stop back to this post but if you do PLEASE forgive me! I got a really bad one that had only a few words in English and they were not nice. NO idea who or what it was about!

Hugs, Lisa
