I have learned that there is hope for this world!!! These amazing people I have met through blogging are the most gifted, sweetest, caring, and beautiful people ever!!!!....
You have true beauty, the beauty that comes from your soul...
I have laughed, cried, been inspired, and amazed by all of you...
I am soooo happy I found souls that love pink like I do, who would rather go thrifting and flea marting than go retail...
thank you all for being my friends, I enjoy all of your comments so much, and even more, I enjoy visiting your gorgeous blogs...
but!!!! yes there is a but...there are some bad things about bloging...first, your house never gets clean!!!, you become this addicted person, you want to redo your whole house every week, and the WORST is that, amazingly your butt can get bigger!!! oh, yeah, it can...lol...why get up and exercise when you need !! to go visiting!!!!
Don't forget my give away... I will draw the name of the winner tonight (Saturday) at 9:00pm, westcoast time...and again thank you so much for enriching my life!!!
make sure you go get your dose of pink from Beverly's Pink Saturday.
Happy Blogaverisary, Stephanie!

Hi Stephanie!
ReplyDeleteFirst things first - congratulations on your anniversary milestone and wishes for many more years of sharing!!
Second things 2nd - your roses are awesome! We had a strange virus take most of ours a couple years ago - we've let the soil rest and have lots of new ones to plant and start over this year. Lots of work but your photos are sure inspirations!

You were dead on with your observations about not doing housework, I am guilty of that. I try to limit blogging to a specific early morning time or late at night, but it is tempting.
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Anniversary to you Stefanie! I can't wait to see what you have to share in the coming year, especially that studio I'm dying to see! Congrats and good luck to all your entrants!
ReplyDeleteSteph . . my sentiments EXACTLY! Well . . . except for the butt getting bigger thing . . . I have no butt - so I wouldn't know! Ahhhh the joys of hitting 50!

ReplyDeleteHappy blogaversary!! To have it fall on a Pink Saturday...how sweet! Enjoy your weekend!!
ReplyDeleteWow how gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday and blog anniversary Stefanie. Wishing you all the best.
Glad to meet you in the blog land.. I enjoy your every post.
Hi Stefanie. You crack me up! Yes we definitely want to redecorate every week and the butt thing...I won't even go there. LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy BLOGIVERSARY!!!!
Hi Stefanie, great post. I agree! I have found blog friends to be so warm, friendly, and creative too! And you are one of them!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you came by and visited me and I wanted to tell you not to be afraid to grow a bleeding heart! Mine has been coming up for 5-6 years and I don't do anything to it! It's planted in semi-shade. You should water regularly during blooming season for blooms to last longer. It is hardy to zone 3 -9 and should tolerate the cold winters in Northern states. I think Cigar Man and I need to divide it early next spring. Have a happy weekend!
Your roses are gorgeous! I know what you mean about wanting to redecorate every time you turn around! So much inspiration out there!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday!
Warmly,
Lori
Happy Blogaversary Stephanie!
