Pink Saturday...

For this Pink Saturday hosted by the fabulous and now famous Beverly of How Sweet the Sound, I would like to say "Happy 11 th Birthday" to my sweet gorgeous daughter!!!!



now pink is not her favorite color, baby blue is...but pink is second!!!!


she draws the best fairy angels!!!! I can never get enough of these!


and loves to make things...and take pictures of them...boy am I raising her right!!!  Look at this gorgeous heart of roses...she even took the picture...


and is that the best sand cake you ever saw!!!


she is my sweetie, she goes with me on all my adventures...


and is really starting to take amazing pictures!!!


so Happy Birthday Sweetie, I wish time didn't fly so fast...she still says she'll never get married and is going to live with us forever...


I hope all your wishes come true...mine did when I had you!!!

aghhhhh...


I wanted to share what my son made for me for Mothers Day...




he was out under the tree for hours, he found scrap wood and painted it for me...I think I love it so much because he built it himself and as you can see with love, pretty sweet for a fourteen year old!!!

Garden walk...

This weekend I went on a garden tour...one house was just magical...


its a small backyard, no lawn, just pea gravel paths and gorgeous flowers.  You walk thru the side fence where there is a beautiful table...


then a relaxing spot under a shade tree...


the top of the table is a fairy garden, oh, yeah, I have to do this now!!!...


then there is a two story building, the bottom is for storage and the top is her girls playroom.  I love all the hand painted details...


a sweet garden chair...


winding arched covered paths...


under a tree was this adorable nome house...sorry its blurry...ok, I want one of these too!!!


this is her patio area, I love that painted birdhouse...


the hand painted window is just gorgeous...


they even have a swimming pond!!!  I fell in love with this garden, so many ideas, I just had to share.
