Pink Saturday

Hello Pinkies and Welcome to my first Anniversary with Pink Saturday.

Big Thanks to Beverly @ How Sweet the Sound for starting this meme so we can all meet and enjoy Pink every week.

I have met so many lovely people in my first year blogging all thanks to Pink Saturday.

It started with one question. As I was looking on ebay for Easter goodies I came across some lovely felted creations by Laurie @ Charming Designs. I won one of her sweeties and in corresponding she asked me “Do you have a blog?” This got me thinking, usually a dangerous thing, and I had recently visited a friend’s blog and loved what she shared and how she shared it. Ginger @ bearbits is an amazing bear artist and has the super best imagination so I knew I would love her blog. I also can never have as cool a blog as Ginger but I can try!

Then I made a list of things to talk about found  blogger used my new identity  “pupylov “  I wrote a post from my list (only 2 on list have made it so far) and sent an email to all my list and waited. Laurie was so sweet and ran right over and started following and sent me emails on what else I should do. Pictures, and join a meme. She suggested Pink Saturday which I had seen when I visited Cathy’s site and so I got Beverly’s info, made a pink post and anxiously waited for the list to come up that morning to  started visiting.  I visited and had others visit me. This led me to my fairy blogmother Ann. She was so sweet and sent me emails offering help before I knew I needed it!  Ann was just the first in many of the best friends I never met! Well actually I have some local and have met a few! Still more to add I am at 250+ blogs I follow and 152 followers. I maxed out and had to move some store blogs to Google reader to make room!

Thank you, all of you old and new. I am a better person for sharing the last year with you and it just gets better. I would LOVE to list you all but if you go to my sidebar they are there. Everyone of them are priceless.

I am so glad to join for another year and look forward to the new friends I will meet each week at Pink Saturday!

Hugs, Lisa

You have to meet my new friend

Last Saturday after work I stopped by my favorite place in the world, Barnes and Nobles, hey they have Starbucks there!!

I had seen the table stating that they were having a reading/signing by the author

Sarah Addison Allen.

They had these books

and

Now as I was buying my New Moon DVD and I am not made of money I bought the paper back and the bargain versions of these.

I went back at 4pm to hear her talk and read from her latest book

The Girl Who Chased the Moon.

Well ladies she is a sweetie and from right here in NC! I really enjoyed hearing her read and talk about writing. I was so inspired.

Sunday I started reading Garden Spells. Her books are not sequels but I wanted to read them in order! I have never read an author with a voice like hers! She has multiple characters and develops and tells a story for them all. She has hints of Fairy Tales and magic that are just fantastic. She also like to add food, lots of food to her books!

I have finished Garden Spells and cannot wait to start The Sugar Queen and on payday I will back at B&N to get The Girl Who Chased the Moon!

I don’t think I can say enough. I cannot tell you when I have been so excited to read an author!

I hope you will look for her books!

Let me know if you do or if you have read them!

Hugs, Lisa

5 Guilty Pleasures

Debbi @ All in My Cottage made this graphic and started this great idea for a post!

Ok my 5!

1. Candy, chewy gooey, stick to your teeth candy!

2. Twilight! It is not by far as good as Harry Potter but I love being caught up in it! Books, movies, all of it!

3. Sewing notions, fabric, anything to sew with. I cannot sew!

4. Sleeping all day long on my days off. I just love to sleep until I am not tired!

5. Being able to “ignore” calls because of caller ID! I think you guys understand. hehe

I enjoyed this!

Hope you join in too!

Hugs, Lisa

My Name is Eloise…

I am Six.

I am a city kid.

I live at the Plaza Hotel.

I love Eloise.

She was created in 1955 by Kay Thompson.

She was so wonderfully brought to life by Hilary Knight.

“Pink. It’s a way of Life.”

As you can tell from this original illustration Pink was the only color used in the books.

Have I told you I LOVE the 1950’s!

Every thing about Eloise is wonderful!

Her room!

(from Disney’s Eloise at the Plaza)

It’s Pink!

Her dog

Weenie is the best dog in the world!

Eloise is a girl who knows what she likes and what she wants and she is determined that everyone else will have what they want and like too!

I want to be Eloise!

Please visit Beverly for more Pinks!

Happy Pink Saturday!

Hugs, Lisa

ps The girl who played Eloise, Sofia Vassilieva, was the oldest daughter in “My Sister’s Keeper! “

And

Happy Spring!!!

I must confess

You know these cuties

and these lovelies

I buy them this time of year because they are soooo pretty and cute and colorful….

I DO NOT EAT THEM.

Either one of them.

I am a candy freak, and I do like a majority of Jelly-Belly jelly beans.

But the classic kind, and Peeps.

I can not even think about putting them in my mouth.

I know I am a freak!

Hugs, Lisa

Woo-Hoo Wednesday!

Guess what is official on Saturday???

 

Can I get a HUGE WOO-HOO!!!!

Hugs, Lisa

 Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!!
also don't forget to enter my giveaway!

I have been….

Ok I’ll be honest I haven’t been doing anything!

Well I sleep too! hehehe

Actually the bunnies are keeping me busy

They are multiplying! My mom has “bought” a few for me as I am not to “shop” during Lent. Hmmm I might do this every year! hehe

There are chicks too. Lots of them!

Well I am getting ready for this

I have to rest up. They made the release on a Friday night/Saturday morning NOT on a Tuesday. For most this may be ok but for me I work Saturday and I’m off on Tuesday so it really is not good for me. Saturday is til noon and I get to nap before I go back in to take care of the boarding animals.

So I am resting, thinking up my Pink Saturday Post and I’ll work on the Woo-Hoo Wednesday Post.

Hugs, Lisa

Magic (Blogaversary replay)

 I am coming up on my 1 year Blogaversary and thought I would replay some highlights from my first year! It has been a great year. And it seems that blogland is jumping. Spring fever has hit! I have at least 10 new followers in the past month , Welcome by the way I love new friends, and I am not doing anything different!  It is great to find new blogs and new friends! I hope you enjoy my replay!

I had been watching Criss Angel on A&E and it occurred to me that there are many different ways to look at "Magic". I don't just see it as producing a coin and making it disappear again. Magic looks like a blue clear sky with fluffy clouds. It sounds like a baby's laughter. It feels like fluffy warm blanket. Magic is everywhere everyday in all things you see, hear, and feel. I like making an effort to look for it every day and remembering to say THANKS! that I found it! How do you see magic?

Party for Pink Saturday!!

As March is my Anniversary Month, I am throwing a party!

Should I wear this?

Wow that was close!

Hope you have a great Pink Saturday!

Happy Pink Saturday!

All of these great men are gone but I will never forget them or their work and it will be very hard for millions to forget them for many many many years to come!

We are very lucky to have their works live on!
