Pink Saturday Sweetness

Isn't Pink Saturday fun?  I love visiting so many of the blogs who are PS regulars and favorites!  Recently Gabriela Delworth had a giveaway on her blog and lucky me!!! I won.  It was for a book that she authored – Paper Head Dresses.  When it arrived last week not only was it her book on crown making – it was also….

A fabulous kit to with everything to make a crown!  A beautiful and huge pink flower,

amazing papers, trims, and glitter…OH MY!

I can't wait to create with this.  The only problem will be which crown to make – the book has so many to choose from!  Thank you so much Gabriela – this is so generous of you.   And speaking of generous….

this fabulous pink pin cushion is from my friend Betty at She's SEW Pretty.  This was a Pay It Forward we were part of.  Betty is one of the first friends I met here in blogland and I'm a big fan of her work…it's amazing.Bettyspc

Thank you, Betty.  Now I'm lucky enough to have several She's Sew Pretty creations.

I have one more person to thank…one of the absolutely most important people in my life…my bff, Barbara.  I don't think I've ever been through a crisis without her and very few celebrations haven't included her.  Besides being about the most talented person in the world – she cracks me up.  So Thursday when I was so behind on a big project I've got going…she came up and cut 200 tiny felt flower petals for me.DSC09542

She cut, cut, cut and I sewed and sewed.  Then pretty soon we were so exhausted that…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.DSC09543

That's the beauty of being friends for 50 years – one or both of you can nap anytime you want!  I hope you are blessed with a napping friend like I am because it's one of the best blessings in my life!!!

Here's some link love for you today:

  3. I have a few friends that I can (and HAVE) called upon to help in the final hours before an event...and they have come through for me! BUT, that IS what true friends do, isn't it? How lucky we are, Nancy, to have those people in our lives.

    AWESOME that YOU were the winner of Gabriela's book!! I think you were destined to have it...you are a crown creator with distinction..I remember those awesome crowns you Paper Cowgirls showed off last year!!!

    Bonnie and I just returned from the Nat'l Decorative Artist's Convention in Wichita, KS. My painting skills are limited (she's the painter), but I loved seeing the trade show!! Also visited the BEST ant. mall I've EVER been in. What fun...but I'm tired, tired.....

    Happy Pink Sat!!! Love, Dana

    PS Are you gonna show us the finished project that required all of those flowers?
