Pink Saturday, April 4th, 2009

Happy Pink Saturday !!!! Our Sweet Host Beverly has once again assembled such a wonderful group of sweet ladies for her Pink Saturday's group. :) I hope that you each go and say Hi to her and all of those on her list. Thank you Beverly !!!!

Well, I know I said I was going to finish up and list Easter items last weekend, but I relapsed and spent the week in bed again. Literally, 6 days of it. My legs are getting worse and are on fire most of the time. I am more unsteady on my feet and stumble and fall now quite a bit. I did however see a Neurologist Finally and have many tests scheduled in the next few weeks, MRI on my brain and spine, Brain wave test, sensory tests with needles on my legs and arms. This is now the third Dr. that has mentioned MS , but we wont know for sure until all of the tests are completed. It has been a bit of an emotional roller coaster for me this week, One day I am fine, and then the next in tears. I lost my Beautiful Stepmother Pam 6 years ago to this disease and kind of know what to expect, although medicines are getting better, people are different in how they manifest the disease and most importantly, I don't even know if I for sure have it yet, so no need to dwell. And..... The Wonderful Grace of Our Lord just shines down His love on me constantly, and it is hard to be sad for long :)

Plus, Oh My word, Easter is almost upon us, My most favorite of all Holidays :) Spring is here and everything is just so beautiful right now, it is hard not to get caught up in the Joy of the Season :) It will be 115 degrees here before long, so I will love and embrace every second of this Beautiful weather :)
Here are a few of my Pink things ( well, with a bit of aqua thrown in , of course ) this week. These will all be in my store by tonight. ( Promise !! :) )

Pink Baby Buggy Faux cookies. :)
Everyday Sugar cookies, also in Pink with Yummy Faux Sugar glitter :)

Easter cookies, with Bunnies and Eggs. :) I truly love my Faux cookies and just LOVE this design of Faux Foods. They are so real looking in person and sparkle like real sugar :) I have hearts, birdhouses, bluebirds and others ready as well. :) Sweet huh ??? :)

I bought these little wooden egg looking containers last year and finally got a few painted. Well, 2 of the 4 that I have :) But that IS progress right ? lol !! :) I added bunnies to both, embellished to match. They just need a few jelly beans and those YUMMY See's white chocolate pastel eggs, or Reeses eggs, Yum!!!! :)



I hadn't painted roses in so long I was worried I would forget how. But I think they look the same as I used to paint. I even had to stop and try and remember how to do it !! lol !! :)

I love this tiny metal basket. It isn't pink, BUT, it has pink roses and a sweet bunny with a Pink nose and ears. And Pink Easter grass :) So this qualifies , right ?


Well, That is my Pinkness for this Saturday. As Ever, I am SO truly Blessed by each one of you that come to visit me, even though I haven't been as faithful a friend to visit in return. I am considering a Bloggy break and shutting down my store for a bit after Easter, as I really need to just focus on all of these tests and the diagnosis that might FINALLY after 2 1/2 years be coming my way. I also would like to re decorate our home. Not anything new, just taking it all down and rehanging, organizing and looking at things in a new way. But I am still kicking that around as I really , truly cherish each of you and my heart swells when I read such lovely comments. I feel so isolated these days, as I cant even drive anymore and each of you are my World, if you know what I mean. I told hubby today that after his two days off, when he goes back to work, I go back to my House arrest :) lol !!! I am joking for the most part when I say that. :) My life did a complete 180 degrees in three years. I was a faux finisher and was up on the very top rung of the ladder to paint, sometimes standing and balancing on one foot, and now, I stand up sometimes, and find myself suddenly at floor level to my Chihuahua's , lol !! :) I am Graceful in ways I never thought I would be, lol !! :)

However, I still absolutely LOVE my life. About 99.9% of it, so change isn't bad, only different :) I think it only hurts, if you expect things to stay the same. The more willing you are to hop on the boat and let it carry you to wherever, the easier Life is. Standing on the shore, you are fair game for Alligators :)

So with that Ultra Wise beyond my years advice, ( Hee , Hee !!! ) I bid you a wonderful Pink Saturday !!!! :)

Hugs,

Rhea
