Book Swaps, and Stones, and Hospitals, Oh My!

Well first off I need to apologize to my Swap Partner, Nicki. I asked for something to be posted that I was in the hospital for a few days, but it didn't get done. I am so sorry for that. I have loved doing the Swap. Nicki was the perfect Partner for me. My kids absolutely love the books. They have taken turns reading both of the books to Miss Lily and she loved that! We love Francis' Sassy-ness! The kids were so excited to find out that there are more books to Francis. Nicki's beautiful grand kids made us bookmarks too. They are so cute! They are Dogs which goes over very big in my house! The bookmarks are in the picture! I will put up more about the Book Swap and do the proper post for it. I just wanted to apologize.


(Our great Book Swap goodies!)


Well on last Monday I felt Kidney Stones coming on. It is a very distinct pain that I have come to know unfortunately. So I went to the Docs office and he gave me nice pain meds, and told me to drink tons of water. Well I told him I was having trouble going to the bathroom, which isn't good when you have stones. Well on Tuesday night I passed it, but was still having bathroom issues.(Sorry I am really trying to be totally delicate here.) So he said that he immediately wanted me in the office. Well I was so dehydrated that I needed to be admitted. I was so exhausted and tired of feeling sick . Well this summer i was going to see the GI about my tummy issues and have a biopsy and full colonoscopy. Well my Doc thought, Hey why not get the GI to see you since I was going to be admitted and I was having GI issues. LOL Yeah joke on me I found myself having a colonscopy and the biopsy the very next day! Like I wasn't feeling good already I need a big scope up my you know what! Well I got home from the Hospital late Thursday. I have been sleeping most of the weekend and I am on the mend nicely. So I know I have been missing form Blogging, but I am up and ready to go. Now if I could just find some Fairies to clean my house. It is amazing how no one can do anything around the house but good old Mommy! LOL I hope everyone else out there is doing well, and not going through what I just did. I will be back with tons of finds and goodies that I totally have to share.

Pink Dollar Frame!

I wanted to post what I did with the Pink Dollar Frame I got from the Dollar bin at the Michael's near us. I love the frame, but I wasn't really sure what I was going to do with it.



I had these wood letters that were magnets from the Dollar Trees. I had taken the magnets off of the back of them and sanded them down and painted them white. So i decided to cover it in glitter. A little glitter never hurt anyone!

I had to take the shiny, cheap plastic off and it detached the back of the frame from one side, I tacky glued it back into place. It was only a Dollar so I figured if it turns out too bad it was only a Dollar and a bit of paper and glitter.

Well it turned out well i think and I put it on my nightside table. "J" for Jennifer how could I go wrong?! I think I have a thing about letters lately? LOL I hope you enjoyed. Have a nice day!

Dancing Shoes!

When I was younger I took Tap, Ballet and Jazz! I love to dance still! One of the things I like is that my Mother kept these shoes. They are one of my early pairs and she gave me a pair of my Tap shoes also! So when Hobby Lobby had their frames and shadowboxes on sale for 50% off. I took advantage of displaying my shoes. Next I have to work on framing my recital programs!

I Sepiaed the original Picture! I actually like how it turned out! I just thought it was something fun from my past that I still Love to do!

It is all in the "K"

Well I have been trying to complete projects that I have had laying around the house. I have had the K for awhile then I came across the perfect paper! So then a little paint, a little paper, and a little glue, and then end results are a cute K.

Food Love It or Hate It?! The Jury is Still Out!

This is further proof that my Lil-a-bug is getting bigger! I just gave her the first solid food of her life.Ok had to wipe away a tear and am sniffing now. :( Well I know that she has to grow up, but i wish it could be a bit slower.

The TV is distracting her again! You can tell she isn't sure about the Rice cereal. Oh, well she didn't totally hate it either! So maybe there is hope yet!

Bumbo Love!

Lily has discovered the Love of the Bumbo! She loves her Bumbo! It is pink that is Love right there. The only down side to the bumbo is that she has discovered the TV! It doesn't help that her Mommie is a TV addict! She loves to play and the Bumbo really gives her more abbility to play! They didn't have these when my older ones were little. I don't know how i did without this wonderful thing! So we have total Bumbo Love over here!

(The Grin says it all!)

See the TV is right above my head while taking the pics! So of course what do you think she was looking at, not me! :)

It Is Pink Saturday! Go For Pink!

Well it is another Pink Saturday! I look forward to Pink Saturday all week! I try to think of something different every week and have at least something I make mixed with something I find! Hopefully some good deals in the mix! Well I got to some of my cute fabrics this week. I used the cupcake fabric to make Miss Lily a tab filled snugly blankie. Then I found this cute Baby Strawberry Shortcake fabric. I just hemmed the edges to make a big receiving blanket! I used an iron-on cupcake for a cute T-Shirt for Miss Lily!

These plates were a Target find! They are melamine and were like $2.00 a piece. I am not sure what I am going to do with them yet. The table cloth behind the plates was a clearance find from Bed, Bath & Beyond. The name of it was Party Dress! I had to get it, if only for the cute name and the fact that it had the Pink and Green that I use in my kitchen.

These are my $1.00 bin finds at Michael's. Coasters and a frame! Pink of course! I am thinking of making a storage box for the coasters. Pink hopefully and maybe I can get it done by next Saturday!

To end this post I wanted to show you my newest Marie Osmond Doll! Her name is Betsy Bubbles and I love the cute little Pink Pinafore!

Well I hope you have enjoyed my Pink Posts! I hope you have a great Pink Saturday! Please stop by Beverly's Blog and say Hello and visit all the other Pink Saturday Bloggers. I am so glad you stopped by and have a Great Day full of Pink!
