Happy 2nd Birthday

yay!!!!
Pink Saturday is turning 2!!!

I'm so happy to be apart of Pink Saturday's 2nd birthday celebration!!
I had been thinking about rejoining in the fun of Pink Saturday and when I received and email from Beverly about its 2nd birthday celebration I thought that this was a fantastic time to join back in.
Beverly, thank you so much for giving birth (so to speak) to Pink Saturday, it's so much fun to be apart of a party that celebrates PINK every week and without you it wouldn't be the success it is today, you make Pink Saturday so special....Big Birthday hugs :)

So my Sweet Lovelies, grab a cuppa, some cake and enjoy the celebration of PINK Saturday!

Also I want to apologize my Sweet Lovelies, as this is a quick throw together post, I'll be back later to visit you for White Wednesday.

This week I'm sharing with you my new second hand white coffee table. I love it so much it didn't look very pretty before it got painted and distressed...sorry no before pics..I'm naughty I know :/

Have a super sweet day!

Happiness is like a butterfly

“Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it,
the more it will elude you,
but if you turn your attention to other things,
it will come and sit softly on your shoulder…”

A Little Bit of White

Hi Sweet Lovelies,

This is my first time joining in on the fun of "White Wednesday" and our wonderful hostess is Kathleen (such a beautiful name) of Faded Charm. Be sure to drop in and visit with Kathleen and the other lovely participants of White Wednesday :)

so in the dark soil of poverty the choicest flowers of
humanity have developed and bloomed.

it sings because it has a song.

When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings,
nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove;
but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts.

Don't you LOVE Modge Podge :)

Hi Lovelies,

It's a glorious rainy day here in my part of the world. I think I've told you before how much I love rainy days :) I hope wherever you are in this big old world of ours that you too are having a fabulous day and the weather is just how you like it.

Well, my dear sweet Lovelies, I've been creating in my creative space, for my creative space (what a mouthful). I'm so having a ball trying to get my space looking pretty for when you visit with me for the blog party "Where Bloggers Create". If you'd like to join the party, pop over and see Karen, from My Desert Cottage, this lovely lady is hosting this fabulous event!!

I hope you all like what I've modge podged, I forgot to get a before shot of the create sign but try and picture craft wood :) and as for the frame I wanted to make a place to put the key and quote that my sweet Evana, gave me before she left for Western Australia. It was pretty the way it was but I wanted a special place for it and the quote is just so beautiful. She really does see me through rose coloured glasses ;)

Golly, I could modge podge the world....mwa-ha-ha!!

Let this key be a reminder that
"A thing of beauty is a joy forever".
You are a thing of beauty, and a joy
to all who know you!

Big hugs :)

Friends are Angels

Hello Sweet Lovelies!

Today I'm sharing with you a gift I was given by my precious and beautiful friend Evana. It's not the gift alone that means so much but the thoughtfulness behind it. God has blessed me so much when He brought Evana, and I together as friends. And even though she has moved to the other side of Australia she still finds ways to spread sunshine into my life and into the lives of others.
This captivating angel is my Mothers Day gift...it's a long story and I won't go into it, but when things get forgotten Evana, remembers and blesses me. I love you my sweet sweet friend, you make life so much more beautiful, thank you!

A friend is a hand that is always holding yours, no matter how close or far apart you may be. A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly.
~Richard Bach

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
the old has gone, the new has come!
2 Corinthians 5:17

If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies.
~Author Unknown

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.
~ C.S. Lewis

Aren't two sparrows sold for only a penny? But your Father knows when any one of them falls to the ground. Even the hairs on your head are counted. So don't be afraid! You are worth much more than many sparrows.
Matthew 10:29-31

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.
~Maya Angelou

“A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.”

~ Maya Angelou

There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.
~Richard Buckminster Fuller

See, I am sending an angel before you to protect you on your journey and lead you safely to the place I have prepared for you.
Exodus 23:20

If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give.
~George MacDonald

Friends are kisses blown to us by angels.

Friends are angels who lift us up when we believe our wings have forgotten how to fly. ~Author Unknown

For it is written:'He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully;
they will lift you up in their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
Luke 4:10-11

Happy Mothers Day!!

Pretty Pink House

I came across this sweet pink house while I was driving back home from visiting with my Sister. I can't remember exactly what town this little treasure was situated in but hopefully my Mum does so when I go to visit with my Sis again I can stop and take some better photo's. It looked like it was abandoned but I wasn't too sure so I felt a little funny taking pics so they're not the best.

I am so in love with this gorgeous place and the more I look at the pics the more I would love to see more of the outside and to go inside would just be superb. I could really see myself living in this little treasure...oh I love to dream...how wonderful to own your home...maybe one day...I am thankful to God for the place I do live in, the rent is the cheapest in town which is such a blessing in itself and I'm slowly decorating it with my thrift store finds :)I will show you some pics of my sweet little duplex one day I promise :)

Have a wonderful week, Sweet Lovelies!
