How Sweet The Sound

Pink Saturday - January 31, 2015

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

I was looking for something

 

in my computer files recently,

 

and I found these two pages I did for

 

a friend's journal, "My Best Friend".

 

I thought you might like to see these.

 

Happy

Which one caught my eye?

 

Every week after the close of Pink Saturday,

 

I scan all the thumbnails to see

 

which is the first one to catch my eye.

 

 

 

 

Something about the sound of a voodoo donut!

Me and Marie - Marie Antoinette

 

We are nearing completion of our ten month

 

Circle Journal project.

 

I just completed Grace's

 

Marie Antoinette journal,

 

and it is amazing.

 

 

Each participant contributes

 

a tw0-page layout

 

based on the journal theme.

 

 

Here is my left page.

 

 

 

And, here is my right page.

 

 

 

I have so enjoyed this project

 

with nine wonderful people.

 

 

I can hardly wait to receive my

 

own journal so I can see

 

each participant's layout

 

up close and personal.

 

♥♥♥

I'm Just Not Funny

 

My son and grandson always tell me that I'm not funny.

 

So, when I found out one of the themes in our circle journal project is "Ha",

 

I felt doomed.

 

What does a "not funny" girl do with Ha!?

 

Here is my two-page layout for Jeanne's Ha journal.

 

 

I Finished My Circle Journal

 

Last week I shared a bit of my

 

Circle Journal project I am participating

 

in with nine other ladies.

 

My journal theme is

 

Christmas Past.

 

Now I can share my journal

 

which will begin the circle journey

 

as I mail it this week.

Pink Saturday - June 19, 2010 And Where Bloggers Create II

Happy Pink Saturday

and

Where Bloggers Create II !

This week we have one hundred eighty-six (186) participants in Pink Saturday.  There are four new participants, and you will find them at the bottom of the list.  Let's all take time to welcome them to Pink Saturday.  All participants are listed in the order in which they began participating.

Please take the time to visit other participants, and leave a comment to let them know you stopped by to enjoy their pink.  Pink Saturday is about having fun, and giving us a chance to meet others in the blogging community.  I promise you it is worth the effort because you will not only see lots of pink, you will meet incredibly nice and talented people.  Please refer to my post dated January 8 for more information about Pink Saturday.

Remember that my reminder e-mail stated I needed your plan for participating today no later than 8 a.m. EST Friday.  If you don't see your name and link here it is because I did not receive your plan for participating by that time.

I want to thank those of you that take the time to leave me a comment.  I love reading what you all have to say.

Reminder - We have a weekly challenge for you to visit the blog of at least one participant that you have never visited before.  Then next Saturday include that blog and a link in your post.  Quite a few of you have been done this challenge, and have met some of the great Pink Saturday participants.  Thank you for sharing with us.

This week I am featuring four blogs of Pink Saturday participants.  These Pink Saturday participants have requested to be a featured blog, and there will be five more featured blogs each Saturday.  Please visit, get to know and say hello to these participants.  They have each written the following personal greetings to you.

****************************

Pink Saturday Featured Blogs

• LeAnn at The Old Parsonage

What makes a Happy Home?  I love, love to take care of my family.  For me, creating a home that is warm and inviting, where everyone feels welcome is pure joy!  The smell of fresh laundry just in off the clothesline, a neat and tidy home and garden, a good home cooked meal, a few desserts here and there, the love of family, friends and fellowship all help to make our home a Happy Home.  Join me as we celebrate the holidays, the birthdays and the every days!

• Sharon at fiberdoodles
  

I am a mother, wife, daughter, a quilter and a friend.  I enjoy pretty pictures and small talk about life and quilting.  Please join me where I share the whimsies of my everyday life.

• Roselle at Seaside Rose Creations
  

Hello Pink Loving Bloggerettes!  I am a wife and mother of two darling daughters.   I love anything vintage, distressed, pink, white or shabby.  If it is pink AND has roses I am a goner!  I love to create, and when my artistic muse is on her game, you can't stop me.  I am lucky enough to live near many thrift and antique shops that keep my artistic muse going.  I just began blogging this year.  I am so blessed with the many sweet new friends that have come my way because of my blog.  I have a shop on Etsy (SeasideRoseCreations) featuring my handpainted roses and some flea market finds I can bring myself to part with.  LOL  Stop by my blog and visit today to see my pinks or any day.  I read every comment and I love hearing from you!

• Julie at Little Bit of Everything
  

Happy Pink Saturday!   I am a 50 Something Midwesterner with a passion for cooking and a love for all things pink!  Aren't we lucky we all get to celebrate all things pink every Saturday?

****************************

My pink contribution for this Pink Saturday is my home office/studio.  I am thrilled to be participating in Where Bloggers Create II.  This is my first year, and many thanks to Karen for organizing this huge event.  There are hundreds of participants, and I think we will be treated to inspirational creative spaces by some wonderfully talented bloggers.  We are all in for some awesome visiting this weekend between Pink Saturday and Where Bloggers Create II.

This looks into my office/studio as you enter.

Pink Saturday - August 22, 2009

Happy Pink Saturday!

Did you take me up on this challenge?

This week I would like to offer each of you a simple challenge.  Visit at least one blog that you have never visited before.  Then next Saturday include that blog and a link in your post.  We all do this on occasion.  It is just a matter of introducing someone new to your followers.  What do you think?  Let's give it a try.

I can hardly wait to read about the new blogs you visited.
Do you want to do this again next week?

What's My Question Wednesday



I love What's My Question Wednesday.  It is so interesting to read each of your perspectives on my question of the week.  I hope you will begin to come by and take the time to answer my question.  You will enjoy reading the other responses.

Happy Pink Saturday!

Did you take me up on this challenge?

This week I would like to offer each of you a simple challenge.  Visit at least one blog that you have never visited before.  Then next Saturday include that blog and a link in your post.  We all do this on occasion.  It is just a matter of introducing someone new to your followers.  What do you think?  Let's give it a try.

I can hardly wait to read about the new blogs you visited.
Do you want to do this again next week?

I finally got my Google Friend Connect to work.
I hope you'll follow along with me.

My pink contribution for this Pink Saturday is an update on my office/scrapbook room remodel.  I have already posted this for Metamorphosis Monday, but quite a few of our participants had asked to see pictures.  Click here to link to an album of pictures if you are interested.

Please take the time to visit other participants, and leave a comment to let them know you stopped by to enjoy their pink.  Pink Saturday is about having fun, and giving us a chance to meet others in the blogging community.  I promise you it is worth the effort because you will not only see lots of pink, you will meet incredibly nice and talented people.  Please refer to my post dated January 8 for more information about Pink Saturday.

Remember that my reminder e-mail stated I needed your plan for participating today no later than 8 a.m. EST Friday.  If you don't see your name and link here it is because I did not receive your plan for participating by that time.

What's My Question Wednesday



I love What's My Question Wednesday.  It is so interesting to read each of your perspectives on my question of the week.  I hope you will begin to come by and take the time to answer my question.  You will enjoy reading the other responses.

The Metamorphosis Of My Office/Scraproom

Today I am participating in Susan's Metamorphosis Monday at

Between Naps On The Porch.

You know I have been busy remodeling my office/scraproom.  I just about have everything put away, and I am ready to show you some pictures.

The first pictures are the before look.  The room wasn't bad, but it wasn't very functional.  I had some furniture which was had been in our son's den when he still lived at home, plus several odd and end pieces from around the house.  Everything had a place, but it didn't really work efficiently.  These pictures were made about four years ago, and I had added four more years worth of "stuff".

I had been wanting to redo this room for several years, and had plenty of time to think about how I wanted it to work.

This section was where I had my paper, pictures, albums, books - and you name it.

This was a view of the opposite side of the room.  I had my printers and scanner on this side.  As you can see, the printers were near the floor, and they were not easily accessible.



Here was a view of my desk.  It was even more filled than usual in this picture because I had my birthday cards placed.  Additionally, I had a rolling card under the desk crammed full of supplies.

 

Now, for the new views.  The work space is in a u-configuration.  This side of the room is where my cable connection is, and I planned so I could have my computer and printers/scanners/network connectin on the same side.



This is my open work surface area.  The window looks out on our rose garden.



This side has drawers that hold stamps, inks, paint and other stuff.  I had file drawers added so we could eliminate a file cabinet we had in a cubby in the hall.



A closer view.  We had a box built to sit on the back of this counter.  It conceals all of the cords, and gives me a place to keep my jars of ribbons.



The tilt-bins are so handy for small things like eyelets, clips, beads, etc.  I added a vase of fresh flowers in celebration of my new space.



I especially wanted open counter here for my paper cutters.

 

This is the cubby in the hall where we had a file cabinet.  My husband built these shelves in this space to hold my cardstock.  I think he did a fantastic job.




I hope you enjoyed seeing my "new" space.  I am loving it.  And, many thanks to my husband and son for helping me with the breakdown and setup of the room.

Circle Journals

Have you participated in a circle journal?  Do you know what a circle journal is?  For those of you that aren't familiar with the circle journal concept, it is when a group of people wanting to participate get together to each complete a journal in a rotation.  Each participant chooses their own theme, and the owner of each journal styles their journal and begins the rotation.  I have participated in two different circle journal projects.  The first project had twelve participants, and the second project has nine.  Each participant has one month to complete their contribution to each journal theme, until the journal has gone full circle and returned to the owner.  When completed you have each participant's artistic interpretation of your theme.

Both circle journal projects in which I participated were all users of the Old Timers at Two Peas In A Bucket.  The Old Timers are all Two Peas users that were in the first 10,000 to create an id.  The ladies that have joined the two circle journal projects that I have been in are some of the nicest people you would ever want to know.  Most of us only know each other on-line, but a few have had the opportunity to meet.  We have communicated for such a long period of time that we have all developed a bond.

Anyway, back to circle journals.  My theme for the first circle journal project was The Color Pink.  It was so much fun, and each person's interpretation of the theme was amazing.  Some were fun, some were about style, some were about life choices, and all were wonderful.  I am so honored to have a personnel representation of each participant.

We had so much fun that when we completed the first project, we started a second round.  This time I choose Amazing Grace as my topic.  I am so anxious for the rotation to be completed so I can enjoy everyone's contribution.  I thought I would share a few pictures of my journal as it was when I sent it off the first month to begin the rotation.  Some of the other themes chosen in this project are Attic Treasures, The Best Part of Being A Girl, On The Road Recipes, Truth or Dare, Reading, Advice to a Young Girl, Simple Pleasures and Guilty Pleasures.

Here is the front cover.

This is my title page.

This is my topic explanation page.

This is my instruction page.

The next two pages are the owner's interpretation of the theme.  These pages are sometimes very personal and private.

I am and have been a scrapbooker for many years, and it is something I thoroughly enjoy.  But, participating in these circle journals has been one of the most pleasurable things I have ever joined.  The whole process has forced me to step out of my comfort zone - to try new things.  My two journals are possessions that I will always treasure.
