Pink Saturday Featured Blog

 

 

This week I am featuring Rebecca at Our Back Porch.  Rebecca first participated in Pink Saturday May 16, 2009.

Rebecca is one of the dedicated teachers that we can thank for educating and nourishing our children.  I know her students and their parents must adore her.

And, Rebecca is a family oriented person that shares so many interests with all of us. 

 

Take a minute to go meet Rebecca,

and please introduce yourself.

Thank you, Rebecca,

for always making Pink Saturday special.

• Rebecca at Our Back Porch

 

 

 Hi everyone!  I'm Rebecca from Our Back Porch.  I'm a happily married forty-something southern belle.  We have two amazing grown sons, one beautiful daughter-in-love, and a precious two-year-old granddaughter.  Being a "Gramma" is the BEST thing ever!  I am a huge dog lover.  We have a most precious and smart yellow Lab, Maggie Bleu.  She's not just a dog!  She's our baby!  My calling in life...and my huge passion...is teaching!  I taught preschool for nine years, and I'm in my fourteenth year in third grade.  Third grade is what I love best!  God has richly blessed me, and I look to Him daily for guidance in my life.  He is SO good!

 I adore time-worn treasures...anything chippy, shabby, tattered, and "well-loved".  A flea market is my favorite place to find these goodies!  I'm a crafty kind of girl, so many times, you can find me covered in glitter, glue, paint, etc. etc.

 

 I have always adored PINK, and having a daughter and granddaughter now, I have more PINK in my life than ever!  I first posted on Pink Saturday in May 2009.  I was a regular for a long time.  I have met so many wonderful ladies, and made such great friends in blogland because of Pink Saturday!  So, I thank Beverly for hosting this great event.  I was away from Pink Saturday for a while...because "life happens"...but recently I have been back...and lovin' it even more!  I hope you can come by for a visit soon!

 

 

 

Waving from Our Back Porch,

Rebecca

Pink Saturday Featured Blog

 

 

This week I am featuring Kari at Thistlewood Farm.  Kari first participated in the third week of Pink Saturday along with her sister, Kijsa.  They were both a bright light in our world of blogging.  Kari and Kijsa each took some time away from blogging to experience some of the many wonders of life.

 

Those of us that became blogging friends of Kari and Kijsa sorely missed them, but we were happy for the many good things happening in their lives.

 

And, now Kari has come back with her divine new blog.  You are going to love Kari.  She is a very special lady who is a member of a very special family.  Her love for her family, God and life is an example to all.

 

Take a minute to go meet Kari,

and please introduce yourself.

Thank you, Kari,

for always making Pink Saturday special.

 

Kari has written the follow personal message to you.

• Kari at Thistlewood Farm

There’s No Place Like Home

 

 

 

Someone once asked me "What makes a house a home?"

What transforms bricks and mortar and metal and wood into the place

we call home?

I think it's love....

.....and warmth and acceptance.

It's a sanctuary, a haven, a respite from a world that sometimes tries harder to break you down then build you up. It's a place where friends welcome you with open arms and listen to you.....your hopes and dreams and aspirations.

A place where anything is possible.

 

 

That's how I feel about Pink Saturday.

When I visit Pink Saturday, I smile.

I am inspired.

I am overwhelmed.

I am in awe.....in awe of the creativity and the design and the inspiration.

But most of all....

                                ....I am home.

 

 

Now, fellow Pink Saturdayers.....I invite you to stop by and visit my "other home."

It's called thistlewood farm.

Here at thistlewood farm we like craft rooms and following our dreams and butler's pantrys.

 

 

And right now I am hosting an "Imagine the Impossibilities" challenge with five other incredible bloggers.

We are challenging each other and other bloggers to do something we all thought we couldn’t do. Something we each thought was impossible. Something that we needed help and advice and encouragement with….lots of encouragement.

And we invite you to join us! We invite you to take part in the challenge.

What? What's that you say?

What's my "impossible task?"

You'll have to stop by for a visit to find out!

 

Happy Pink Saturday, Beverly! You rock!
