Another Pink Saturday!! Thank you Beverly at

I love Pink Saturday and all this pink makes me sooo happy!!!!
My pink princesses in 2005. Ok- no pink, but still very cute!!!

I wasn't sure exactly what to post for this Pink Saturday, but Friday afternoon I was remincing and started scanning some old pics from when my twins were born 8 year ago.

My last baby, pictured in pretty pink dress was born in 2005 and her life is all digital!! From the moment she was born- she was a digital baby!!

So I decided to post some pretty pink cuteness!!! My babies from the year 2005.

Although she is now a 4 year old princess, she will always be my baby!!

I love this little angel pic of Megan taken in 2005 when I was pregnant with Madison. I bought a lovely white hat with veil at a thrift shop and put Megan in the white dress for a picture.

Well as I took the pic, the wind blew down her hat and veil and it looked like she had angel wings in the photo!!

And again another baby pic of Madison dressed in pink!! And I wonder why she loves pink so much- I guess I forced it on her!!

She is my little pink princess!!!

This week I want to tell you about Sherry at A Happy Valentine!!

Please pay her a visit!!!

Where oh where????

I love making mini scrapbook albums as I've said before. Mainly because I feel like I can accomplish something because I have so may pictures and sometimes I get overwhelmed with all I need to do and the last thing I want is so to feel that way over scrapbooking!! I mean I love scrapbooking and when it starts to feel like a chore...then I am doing too much!!! I tend to go all or nothing. I wish I could change that about myself!!
There are times when I go nonstop with something whether it's scrapbooking or crafts and when I get going...I can't stop!!
Or I do nothing at all!!
These are few albums I did last year while in a scrapping mood.
Both do not have photos in them yet!!
Sometimes I make books, then fill in the pics later.

So with all my books it makes me wonder...where do I put them???

This book here is a valentine one I made last year. I made a few handmade cards and decided to make a mini scrapbook with identical or so...copies of the valentines I made to remember the cards.

So what do all you do with your scrapbooks or albums?

Are they displayed? Are they stored?

I actually have mine in storage containers in my garage so if there is an emergency(example hurricane in FL) and we have to evacuate we can grab them quickly and go!

I'd like to display some, but not sure how.

Maybe a plate holder with a book and swap it out every now and then?!?!

In a few weeks I plan on getting some more scrapping done and a few crafts here and there too.

We are in the process of cleaning out one of the kids rooms for reorganizing and then painting it and putting down new floors.

My little one Maddie was told if she helped me to donate alot of her old stuff I'd get her a little tea cart with a new tea set...a child after my own heart!!

She loves her tea parties too!!!

She tells me all she wants to be when she grows up is a mommy and drive a pink min van!!

She wants 5 boys and 5 girls......guess I'll be doing alot of babysitting in the future!!!!

Valentines mailboxes

Sunday afternoon was the perfect time to start getting ready for valentines day here with the girls.

We made simple mailboxes for thier cards by using

paper plates, paint,

stapler, and some valentines stickers from Michaels.

First we painted the dishes, then folded them in half,

we put them together to form a heart shape and stapled the bottem and then stapled the front top and front back.

We made the handle by cutting the upper portion of the paper plate and then

attached it to the back.

They decorated them with thier stickers too.

Next weekend we will make valentines cards for each other.

I purchase vintage valentine images from etsy and have them printed up at Staples or Office Depot and then use glitter and ribbons to fancy them up!

The girls just love doing arts and crafts with me!!!

We had a long weekend.

Saturday we had a small fire out back and made smores with the our kids and about 5 or 6 extra kids!! Then 3 slept over and Sunday we did arts and crafts.

As if I don't have enough kids of my own, every weekend there are several extras who stay and just wont leave!!

My oldest has her friends always here too which is nice.

Yes we feed them and they get awfully thirsty too, but it is a small price to pay just knowing all my kids are here safe and off the streets.

We know exactly who they hang out and what they are doing!!

So I'll just keeping shopping at Walmart for snacks and juice containers!!!!

xoxo,

Pink Saturday

I am so happy to be part of another Pink Saturday!!
Thank you so much Beverly at
http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/
The above setting is in my living room/ dining room. It really is one big great area. I have been redecorating here and there and moved around a few items.
Most of the items are delicious pretties I have bought on etsy or friends have made for me and already featured on my blog!!


The pink birdhouse is yet another I painted and decoupaged. I bought the beautiful paper from Michaels and it is just so lovely!!

And my little dog, Bentley wanted to pop in and say hello this pink Saturday.

He actually wears a pink harness....But he loves pink too!!!

I have had so much fun being a part of pink Saturday and made some of the sweetest friends. I can't wait to stop by everyone's blogs and see all the pink

pretties there are!

I have already spent way too much time online blogging and hoping around. There a nice stack of laundry waiting for me and my scrapbooking needs some tending to as well.

Oh well.... it sure is nice to take a break and relax in front of the computer and see how lovely everyone is!

Thanks for stopping by!
