No Sweetheart This Year

Today I'm joining up with the ladies at Pink Saturday 

Paper Animation

I first saw this little video over on one of the Beading blogs that I read. The talent that some people have just blows me away. This is a video created using paper "things" for the animations. Truly amazing & very cute.

ME Monday Week Five 2011

Welcome, again to Mary Engelbreit Monday. Please join us and post the link to your blog with the related Mary Engelbreit pictures to share with everyone. It can be a ME licensed product or something that was "inspired" by Mary Engelbreit's artwork. It "should" be a photo that you took of something that you own. We're flexible here....let's have fun above all else.

A few weeks ago my neighbor, Paddy, and I stopped over at my favorite Dishtophia, again, for some tea & dessert.  Remember I found those cute little Mary Engelbreit bowls there for a song?  Well on this trip I found the lamp base pictured above hidden behind some other things. I got them to pull it down from a high shelf for me to take a look at it. The orginial asking price was $24.90 BUT they had marked it down 75%. She came home with me for $6.22!

The next project was to find a lampshade for it. I headed over to JoAnns where I found this "Self Adhesive Designer Shade". I already had the checkerboard fabric which I think will go perfectly with the base. I liked the angles on the shade because I think it reflects the base shape as a mirror image. Do you see it? Now all I have to do is find the time to cover the lampshade. Sometimes there just aren't enough hours in a day for me. Sigh.....

Please join me in wishing Genie from Buttons for Baga a very Happy Birthday on ME Monday. You'll find her at the first ME Monday link below. She'll be surprised!

Sorry I didn't make the cake but I'm sure Genie would Love it for her Birthday 

Now, please join me and share your ME with us all. Once you've posted your pictures come back and add your link in MckLinky below. Please share the link back to my blog so that everyone can take part in sharing their post and picture.

Fresh Cut Friday

I'm joining Liz at the beautiful Rose Vignettes blog for Fresh Cut Friday this week.

I walked into my favorite grocery store this afternoon where I spotted their flower display. I looked around a little and then I spotted these charming pink tulips. Next my thought went to 'What is today's date'? Why it's the first Friday of the month so that means that tomorrow is Fresh Cut Friday over at Liz's lovely blog. That sealed the deal and I knew that I would be taking home those charming pink tulips with me because it has been awhile since I've had Fresh Cut Flowers. I so deserve them. ;-)

Rednesday with Glitter

Add Glitter and Stir

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm participating in the One World One Heart worldwide blog hop here in February. It's been really fun seeing the blogs from all over the world. On one of the blogs (can't even remember) had the phrase "add glitter and stir". I thought that was pretty funny.

Be sure to pop over to "It's a Very Cherry World" where Sue is hosting Rednesday so that you can see more Reds.
