Happy Pink Day

Yes, this is me in my P.J.s...taken by Naters. That is a pink pig in the background that I'm suppose to give to Mother-in-Law (pig farmer's wife) and that dark pink Hippo on the ground under it was in Jack's Easter basket. Let's go out the front door... All the way out to the curb, this is my summer mailbox flag with pink flowers.

I'm highlighting the rain lily bulbs that my moma gave me. They multiply when you are not looking and you don't even know it until it finally rains. They come up about 2 days later as a pleasant pink surprise and then they are gone until it rains again.

In the bed I just showed there are 2 pink crepe myrtles in full bloom right now. We had to kinda prop these babies up after Hurricane Ike came thru...whewwww, we were blessed not to lose them totally (only lost 1 big limb out of a tree).

Here are some rain lillies tucked into a pot and brimming over onto the bed. Yes, dear...my garden could use some tending...but it's stinkin' hot outside, ok.

A pleasant little pop of them right before we hit the front door...the neighbors already know I troll around in my p.j.s but still...let's get back into the a.c.

Edited Sept. 2010 for The 2nd Pretty Packages Linky Party:

I had so much fun putting this together with heart punches, ribbon, a pink gingham holder, shredded white tissue and Raspberry bath products.  It makes for a great presentation. 

This is a tray tucked right by the front door for thank you gifts for friends that are driving my kids around for me and remembering me or the boys when my fibro acts up. This is a raspberry bath foam and lotion and the little tag says Berry special thanks. It will be fun to have a give-away sometime this Fall-my fav time of year.

We are journeying from Texas to North Carolina to the farm that Scott's parents live on...may be out for 2 weeks...I'll try to post while away. Love and Blessings to ya'll!!

Jakes still a pre-teen

This is my precious pre-teen who will turn 12 very soon. His daddy bought 6 tickets to see the Astros play ball so we invited 3 buddies over and I did an impromptu party for him. I got out our God thinks you are special today plate for the b-day boy. And we sang, yes we did.

These boys went thru 2.5 gallons of milk while they were on the premises for 24 hours!!

Got Milk?

I had all of this party fare in my papergoods cabinet and got it out really quick as they were all arriving. I had a SpiderMan 2 cloth that we had never used so even though they are getting too old for it, I got it out...they loved it all. He picked the German Chocolate cake out. I loved these 12 gold candles when I grabbed them at Garden Ridge clearance. I love the whompy placing too.

The boys mom who runs our RA group at church (like BoyScouts) said to me when I showed it to her that they may be starting to look too old or too cool for this fuss, but they really do still love it. Ok, enough...I'm getting all emotional about my baby getting ready to spend his last year as a pre-teen. Hit my button over at the top of my blog that says Tablescape Thursday to see more.

Seein' Red Today

I had soooo much fun making these bags for the walkway for my 4th of July BBQ. I got the $2 flags at BigLots and took all 3 colors of the bags from a bag of 50 from Michael's clearance a few yrs ago and used my big star punch to cut the "holes". I used 2/$1 flameless tealights from Dollar Tree to put inside for a safe flicker.

They aren't quite in a good enough place of honor but peeking out of the corner of my craft room hutch is Ragedy Ann and Andy. My MIL gave me these. The Andy was my husbands when he was young. And, she had Ann made for me about 10 yrs ago to match him...is that precious. They usually read books to each other or pass love notes.

This is a pic of someone's lego room found on the net when I was browsing around for Nate!! Can you imagine the money and time in this room? They painted the window trim bright red and put a ton of them up on the plates of the wall. Wow, I thought we were into legos.

Hope ya'll have a Happy Rednesday!! Please join suelovescherries to see more red. xox!
