Sharing Bday Treasures

49 is another good birthday year....

I am blessed with thoughtful family and friends...

I tried to capture some of the gifts I received...THIS MAC compliments of my husband's supportive nature....

A lovely hanger from my daughter that I've admired many times at Pier One (and she chose it on her own)

I got dollars from Ma n Pa - yes, they still do that for a 49 year old - and I spent some on a book in Sante Fe that I thought was PERFECT for my art - Pictoral Webster's....and magazines - this one features one of my fave artists that I follow...and probably you do too...Diane Salter - so thrilled she was published in this edition...

And Just Look at this beautiful piece handmade by my pal....

So perfectly detailed and personalized... she had a whole theme in store for my yummy bday lunch with her.....

GARDENS...which we both share a love for....

I don't want to give too much away, for she will soon be opening her very own etsy shop...

and sharing her one of a kind pieces.....

I keep encouraging her to start a blog and share her talents....

But regardless, I love my bday treasures, my family, friends and think 49 is going to continue to be a GOOD year!

A Bit O Art

I have been icky sick this week, but managed to squeak this one out for my daughter's BFF who happens to share my birthday...

She will be 24....I will be 49.

She likes red - I like white.

She's lived in France - I've visited.

She has the wonderful mom - and I have the wonderful daughter.

I could keep going...

but it's time to rest

again.

 Joining Julia at The Stamping Ground for another workdesk reveal -

Created this piece especially for a friend who has many loves...

Delivered it yesterday when we lunched and celebrated her birthday over margaritas....

Occurs to me now I should have included a teeny cocktail image somewhere on there...wonder if she would've discovered it?...before or after the margaritas?

Happy Pink Saturday!

Today is Pink Saturday!










And it's also my Birthday

I really wanted to post pictures of...

the yummiest lemon, raspberry filling, pink raspberry mousse icing-ed cake that my friend made for me yesterday....










But, instead, I'm posting some beautiful pink florals....

most of which are from my mother's garden....

She sends me the BEST photos....!








But "Where is the Cake????"  you may ask....  Did it resemble this one???

Well no...not exactly....that one's for John...I guess he likes pink....
"Did it look more like this one then?"....you may still be wondering...

Hmmm...I've never seen a cake like that one....Is it really edible???....Nope, my cake looked even better than that one....
It was SO beautiful and made from the heart....

I

It was SO delicious, I couldn't stop eating it....

But now, I'm hungry again and I really wanted to share that cake with all the Pink Saturday Ladies!
Oh What the Heck....after all it IS my Birthday....

Dig IN!!!!
