Pink Saturday Pinterest and Me

Greetings Pinkettes! Lovely to see you! How are you? Me? Well, I'm late for my post again *sigh*. Hope you don't mind.

A huge thanks to Beverly How Sweet the Sound, our fabulous host, who keeps this pinkalicious party going for us! If you haven't already, do stop by Beverly's blog and say hello.

Today I'm taking down two (pink) birds with one stone....Pink Saturday and Pinterest. I know many of you use Pinterest. There was much concern about Pinterest's policies and several have either deleted their accounts or many of their pins. I'm thrilled to say that Pinterest has seen the error of it's ways and has changed their policy. What a relief! I was on the verge of closing my account. It's still a good idea to watermark your personal photos.

One of the many reasons why I am addicted enjoy Pinterest is to be able to create my boards and fill them with such goodies as...

Things I want...



eye candy and ideas/inspiration...



sharing my creations...



and my photos....





my favorite tea length dress
(taffeta, slit-pockets, AND a hot pink crenoline *happy feet*)....



as well as leaving Mother's Day gift hints to my children.
(I so want this skin for my laptop!)



To date I've already posted over 700 pins and I've only started a few weeks ago. I even have a board called "Think Pink" for future Pink Saturday posts.

If you are already a member, please do let me know. I'd love to view your board.

I hope you have enjoyed your visit and thanks taking the time to leave me your sweet thoughts!

Happy Pink Saturday (belated)! Be well!

Cheers!

Bird Houses Painted and Broken China Mosaics

Greeting everyone! Sweet of you to drop by! Hope your weekend was a superb one! We had lovely weather here. It's pouring today though. Good for the flora n fauna (everything has an upside...yes?)

I probably should have titled today's tasty treat as...yep, I'm a goober!! Those of you who've been with me for a bit are quite aware of this. Status quo can be such a comfort ha!

Has this scenario happen to you? I spend oodles of time thinking about a post. When I (finally) decide on one, I'm all excited and charge full speed ahead. I can't get the post up fast enough!

Anxious as I am, unfortunately the most time consuming element is getting the photos together; the lighting is off, the photo is crooked, the exposure is too light/dark, and so forth *sigh*.

Then, finally, I pull it all together, publish my post, pat myself on the back and celebrate.



Suddenly, whilst admiring my hard work, I notice something is not quite right....cue the pain ha!



Well, this post is not the one I intended. Lucky for me, I caught my faux pas before I wasted spent any energy composing it. Allow me to illustrate

A while back I posted about bird house transformation I had (thought) was finished. Was beaming with pride and couldn't wait to show it off...

I had this bird house



and transformed it to this...tah dah



I was so pleased with the result, I painted a couple more using different colors...



So there I was, all set to pull together an update about it when I noticed something was not quite right. Do you see it? Maybe you saw it straight away...maybe i'm too pedantic or not very observant ha.

I notice that there are door frames but the door itself isn't really defined. So I quickly popped the photo into the paint program to mock it up to see if I should paint the doors white. While I'm doing that, I notice something else is not right; I neglected to finish painting the chimney on both the green and pink ones...bugga



From completed to not so much ha! Now I have to add them back to the "must finish" list along with these:





and of course, these are (still) waiting for attention



Three of them are still wrapped in brown paper. Two steps forward, three steps back! lol!

Now I'm off to finish them once and for all! Cross your fingers for me!

Thanks so much for stopping by and letting me vent a bit! I hope you have enjoyed your visit and do feel free to vent as well, or just leave me a quick hello so I know you were here!

Have a lovely, safe and warm week! Be well!

Cheers!

Pink Saturday Eye Candy for the Pinkettes

Greetings and Happy Pink Saturday Pinkettes!! Don't you just adore Pink Saturday? I've been away for a bit, but am so happy to rejoin all you Pinkettes!

First, a shout out and special thanks to our fabulous queen of pink, Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. If you haven't already, do stop by Beverly's blog and say hello.

Ok, time to get comfy, grab a cuppa and enjoy all the fabulous pinks the other wonderful and clever Pinkettes have posted to delight our senses.

Let's start with a WOW factor (now where did I put my tiara?)

Sings to the princess in all of us..yes?

No tiara? That's ok, this will compliment rather well

A bit less formal...perhaps you could glide down the red carpet in this stunning Oscar de la Renta creation...

Oscar does it so very well!

Perhaps a little someplace to stash your lipstick...

If you are planning a romantic evening, say candle lit dinner for two on the beach, might I suggest this oh so pretty option

Isn't that just the dreamest pink dress ever?

Now before I go, I just want to share with you my newest passion! It's Pinterest! I'm sure most of you already know about it. I missed that memo and am playing catch up!

For the few that don't, it's a fabulous website where you can easily add/organize all your favorite eye candy! If you'd like to know more about just click the link below. It will take you to mine but you can click on the header and it will take you to their home page. But you can see how just this week I've already added so much! So I can find those of you who already have an account, please add me so I can drool over your Pinterest. I promise I'll add you too! Fair enough?!

Now I will leave you with one last (but certainly not least) pretty photo to delight your pink senses!
