Pink Saturday

Good Morning My PiNk SaTuRdAy FrIeNdS! Today is such a beautiful day. Even though there is still snow outside, the sun is out and the weather is warming up alittle. I am so excited for Spring and so are the girls. We can't wait to get out and plant our flowers and mini vegetable garden. The girls and I have been experiencing cabin fever for awhile now and I though that I would share a few photos of yet another mischievious endevour my lil' ones got into. Both girls decided to get into some play makeup they had received at Christmas. They found where I was hidding it. So her are Audrey and Jane, my very own "PINK" Umpa Lumpas!!! LOL

pink hugs, Ellen

Write up on my Pin Cushions!


I was asked the other day by Nan at lachambrerose.blogspot.com if she could feature one of my pin cushions and my etsy shoppe. I was tickled pink! I was honored and humbled at her request. Ofcourse I said yes. She plans to feature more of my pin cushions and other items in the future. Here is the link to her write up. http://lachambrerose.blogspot.com/2009/02/valentines-day-kewpie-doll-pin-cushion.html Thank you Nan.

I just finished some new pin cushions for Valentine's Day and Easter so I decided to share them with you today. Which one is your favorite? I cannot decide. But doesn't the first one, the Kewpie Doll Girl Angel on a bed of flowers look remind you of an Anne Geddes photo? Have a warm and blessed day. pink hugs, Ellen http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/

So stay warm. Think Pink! And have a wonderful Pink Saturday! I want to thank Beverly for another wonderful week of pink.

First Pink Saturday 2009

Hello and Welcome to the First Pink Saturday of the New Year. Can you believe that it is 2009. Time goes by so quickly! Thank you Beverly at How Sweet The Sound. Click on her link, http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/ and see all the other bloggers participating in the pink fun.
My sister and I went to Toys r us to get my daughter some gifts for her birthday and to our pleasant surprise we saw PINK. You should have seen us oooing and aaaing! We both wanted a pink Scrabble and Monopoly, but then looked at the price. I've seen them online with great markdowns. So I just might have to order some games! I didn't have my camera with me so I copied pics from the website. So all you pink ladies out there who love pink. Take a peek.
My sister and I love Scrabble. We definately will get this!
The Pink Monopoly game has so many great changes. One of the little figures is a flip. Just so cute! I will be getting this at some point!!!
This game great. It has saying on each block!


Now this would be great for a Pink Ladies Night!!! Make some snacks and maybe a PINK DRINK! Wink Wink! How fun!



I never had the patience for this game but they have it in pink!

They also had other pink games like pink Twister. Make sure to check them out. Have a Pinkaliscous Saturday!!!
pink hugs, Ellen

AUDREY~A Few Minutes Old


Dan found a blown up photo of Audrey minutes after she was born. Sorry it isn't clearer but I had to post it. It isn't the one with one eye shut but just as cute. I just cannot believe that she has become the cute and sweet and smart little girl I know and love today.
Thank you God for Audrey, Our Blessing. Make sure to cherish every moment you have in the New Year! She was perfect. The perfect way for me to have started my new year.
hugs, Ellen

Audrey's Birthday~Evening Festivities~

Good Evening Everyone! I have a bunch of pictures from this evening. Ofcourse, I missed the pictures of Daddy taking them out in the snow. They weren't out there to long because it is freezing, especially with the wind. I just checked outside and at 10pm it is ZERO DEGREES. And with the wind it is probably colder.
This is Audrey's Birthday dinner. Homemade burgers and fries. And soda too!
Please excuse my messy kitchen!!!
Jane.
Audrey.
Best picture I could get of Audrey and me. Dan told her to smile and play seafood. I didn't want to post those pictures! YUK!
Girls wanted to go up to our bed and open presents before cake.
At this age, we buy something for Jane too. We do the same for Audrey on Jane's birthday.
Audrey got a career barbie set. Her new barbie is a pediatritian. It comes with all the tools and two cute babies. One was swaddled in a purple blankie and the other a pink one. Which was Perfect!
Daddy bought them Disney Princess Makeup. Which he decided to open up and put on their faces.
As you can see, never let a man put purple lipstick on. I don't think he could resist! Poor thing is tired though...maybe that is why the purple lipstick is on his face, not just his lips! LOL
She is excited to see the 2 babies.

Jane chillin' with daddy. Audrey was all about the presents.
This present in particular. I bought her a Ken doll and an extra pair of clothes. I was thinking about how she loves Sleeping Beauty and she could pretend this was Prince Philip. WELL...I am already in trouble. lol She got all gitty and asked if I would take his clothes off. I asked why. She said, "I want to see something." ANd YES, your thinking is correct. She just kept laughing and rolling her eyes. SHE IS ONLY FOUR! ~~~big sye~~~
She did get him dressed again and played "getting married with him and a girl barbie."
Making a wish before blowing out her candle.
First time I have used a number candle.
You can see some of their barbie stuff on the dinning room table. Wet clothes on the radiator from going outside and other barbie and princess stuff from Christmas.
And that was it. I was to tired to take anymore. Who am I kidding. I was all about that chocolate cake and ice cream. :) Anyways....I hope you enjoyed Audrey's BIRTHday pictures.
Have a Blessed New Year!
hugs, Ellen
