PINK SATURDAY

Hello and welcome to this special Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet The Sound.
I'm posting late today due to internet problems.(Finally got it fixed).

Today we are celebrating a mircle makeover for Colette Gautier who was diagnosed with breast cancer and was given only a 5-15% chance for survival from this disease. She is a single mom living in a small rental house and is facing the hardship and trials of chemtherapy.
Thanks to the brilliant design ideas of Kelee Katillac and Guideposts Magazine Colette's bedroom has received a magical transformation. To read about this amazing true life story about the makeover go here to Guideposts to see the video.

A big thank you to everyone responsible for this wonderful blessing for Colette.


Below is a little Sunbonnet Sue needlekeep that I posted last week and have drawn a name for the winner of this little cutie! The winner is Laura from Laura's Rose Garden. Congrats Laura, I hope you enjoy her!





Beverly asked us to post something inspiring today for Pink Saturday and I'm posting about a fun little swap/trade that I had with a sweet blogging friend of mine. Deb from Garage Sale Gal. She asked me to trade one of my ribbon ladies for some vintage linens. I find the kindness in people that I've met on the internet so inspiring so I thought today would be a good day to post about this.



First I received from Deb this beautiful vintage crochet lavender pin cushion. I collect these and really love this one!




Next from Deb I receive this two cute little embroiderd towels.



An adorable little Chicken towel.


A sweet little deer towel.

A pretty little basket embroidered and crochet doilie and three beautiful handmade cards.


I made Deb this pretty victorian ribbon lady picture.


A few close ups.







Thanks Deb, I enjoyed this little swap with you and will treasure them.



Thank you so much for stopping by, it was so nice to visit with you.
Due to my ISP problems I did not get to visit everyone that came to visit me last week but I'll be stopping by making visits all week.
I started back at school on the 18th with lots of meetings and students came back this past Monday. Where did the summer go? It's hard to believe were headed into fall!
Blessings to ya! Shirl
