THANKS TO THE LORD & PINK SATURDAY

PRAISE THE LORD FOR HE IS GOOD!
First I wanted to thank everyone for their kind words and prayers. A few weeks back I had posted that my Dr. had found some traces of blood and wanted me to have a colonoscopy. I was so scared but my friends and family got me through with their prayers and words of support. I had my colonoscopy on Friday and it went well. My Dr. did not find a thing, not even a polyp. Prayers have been answered! Thanks be to God!


Now on to pinkness hosted by Beverly of How Sweet The Sound.


The first thing I have to show you is my newest creation. I was inspired by the September issue of Romantic Homes. They had a "How To" on Faux Confections, so this is my spin off on that.
I made some Faux Strawberry Souffle. I made the strawberries from some satin left from alterations of my daughters bridesmaids gowns. They were beautiful pink satin Jessica McClintock gowns. I will be selling these and some satin strawberries on my FFM sales next month. Along with my silk ribbon embroidery.
The pretty plates they are setting are were from my PRH Sister Steph, from one of her fabulous FFM sales. Stop and see her when you have time, I'm sure you will find something irresistible there.


Now the rest of my pinkness today was made by my dear sweet PRH Sister Miss Rhea, they were either a gift from a swap or something that I purchased from her ebay, etsy or her FFM sales.

First is a journal that Miss Rhea made using her vintage clipart and her lovely hand painted roses. Hers are like no other!
A few closeups.


Another one of my favorites is this adorable Bless Our Nest. This was just calling my name, my hubby and I love to set and have our coffee watching the birds at the feeders and busy at play.

One of Miss Rhea's sugared eggs!


This beautiful heart shaped box was part of my Valentine swap from Miss Rhea, it was filled with yummy chocolate!
Some of her faux sweet treats!

A pretty little banner that she made using velvet. Velvet is a fabric that I just love!
Some tags made my Miss Rhea again using velvet.


These tags were another part of my Valentine swap from Miss Rhea!
Stop by and see Miss Rhea when you have time. You will see that her "sweet things" are just "unforgettable!
I hope you enjoyed my little bit of Pink this week.
My hubby and I are leaving for our beach vacation on Friday for two weeks. The cottage we rented has wireless internet so I should be able to post on Pink Saturday and maybe a few times in between with some beautiful ocean pictures.
Until next time,
Blessings, Shirl
