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.

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

PINK SATURDAY & MY GIVEAWAY WINNER

Hello and welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. Thank you Beverly for hosting this fun event.



I'm sorry that I did not get to post my giveaway winner last week. I've had ISP problems all week long. First my Sprint wireless adaptor broke and they sent me a new one, then I could not activate it because they released a new phone this week that had the system all tied up. It was awful. No internet most of the week and it's my lifeline to my son if Afghanistan. I was not a happy camper!!!! I did not get to visit any blogs but I promise I will be there to see you this week, it might take me all week but I will be there. LOL

Thank you so much to all of you who joined as a follower and entered my giveaway. I also want to thank all of you for the prayers and well wishes for my son.





~~~~~~~~~~~~AND THE WINNER IS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CC FROM LACE'N'RIBBON ROSES

Congrats CC!! I hope you enjoy this sweet little bunny.



Here is the cute little bunny that CC won!

Today for my Pinkness I'm showing you some of my pretty peonies. This is my favorite flower in my garden. I love everything about them, especially the scent. They remind me of the old tissue paper roses my sister and I used to make as kids.

My vintage Nancy Ann doll is trying to steal the show~LOL

This week I was supposed to show you my new teatime/cupcake guest bedroom but since I had internet problems I was not able to get the post ready. Next week be sure to stop back and see all the pinkness behind this door.

Thank you so much for stopping by, it was so nice to visit with you.

Have a wonderful week.

Blessings to ya, Shirl
