Scrumptiously Pink!




My heart truly skipped a beat this week while looking thru my new Country Living Magazine.
This image of pristine vintage candlesticks and pale pink tapers... Oh yes, you know I will be dragging mine out!



And just when I had decided to paint every last stick of furniture in my house WHITE, what did I behold on the very next page.....




Simply DiVINE!

While basking in the light of all this

PINK GLORY,

A lovely package arrived from

The Speckled Egg-

My buddy Heather sent me a trunk full of goodies-
Here is a little place I set up for my new Charlotte-
plus I gave her a new pair of wings
so she could play with the pixies and have
"Home Wing Advantage"


Well my SpaRkLy fRieNds,
I had almost run out of Pinky Ideas
and
Started to put
PINK MARABOU
on
my cat
Sweet
"Kitty Kitty"
(yes, that is her name)

Lucky for us all,
she ate the Marabou

And gave my new
Charlotte
the scare of her life

So I gave up trying to

Dress The Cat

and instead
Read my Country Living Magazine
and found those pretty Pink Pictures for us!

Soo My Sparkly Friends, mosey on over to


to see all our other pinkies in our pinkalishiousness!

Sparkly Hugs,
Tobi and the Pixies!

Procrastination Update: "I'm simply saying that life, uh, finds a way."



"I'm simply saying that life...uh...finds a way"

My favorite quote spoken by
Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic park
when being
told how the park could
prevent the dinosaurs and Raptors from breeding.
Life,
my sparkly friends,
most certainly
finds a way
to keep going

in spite of
our plans.

Case in point:
my box of close to
a hundred packets of seeds-
the planting of which was on
my zero procrastination tolerance
list
of
things to do this year.

While I was busy doing all the other things on my to do list first,
I
left it out in the rain
got my box wet by accident
and a funny thing happened...
Um, my box started growing.
Yep-
seeds + water = baby plants
It was like they knew they might be
procrastinated till next year
and they just
rebelled-
took matters into their own roots-
The life in them
found
a
way.

I mean,
How beautiful
is
that??!

So of course, now that they were visibly alive,
I couldn't procrastinate them any longer
so
I planted them in big clumps all over the place
because i didn't want to separate them now that they were used to being so close...
it just seemed mean to separate them

So I am hoping to maybe have a gardening breakthrough in seed starting-
Just wet the packets
and
let life find a way!

For more lovely "lifeness" please visit
A Southern daydreamer for
Many lovely Posts with beautiful pictures of nature type stuff!!!
Sparkly Hugs,
Tobi and the Pixies!

What Do You Do When You Run Out Of Pink And It's Friday??


The answer my Sparkly friends is.....

Dress Up Your Wee Little Dog!




This is Baby, my White Pomeranian.
She snuck upstairs today, risking life and limb to sneak past
Sorcha-
my Mastiff.
She ran up the stairs just to have me put her up on the bed so she could watch me download my swap pictures. There she was, white on a white bedspread and I thought-
"Wow"
what a great shot for
White Wednesday!"
But tomorrow was


"Pink Saturday",

so I got a
Pink Feather Boa


and a flower and we played Dressup!
Now as you can see, Baby is quite the HAM and loves playing dressup and laying with her legs crossed in front of her.
The Pixies like playing with her as well!

OK, 'nuff Baby.
So now here are some of the pictures of the stuff I made for my
Fleur de Bee
Crown Swap Partner
Nerina.

Here is the Crown,
in all of it's pink
Sparkly Splendor

And a Crowned Crow
Cupcake


I made some Crown Magnets
in a
Crown Box
and a Crown
Chandelier
Jewelry
Ornament
Thingy

And since she
LOVES SUGAR
I used
CANDY as
Packing Material!
Sure Hopes she likes it!
Now my little Pink Sparkly Chickees
Go see Miss Beverly
at
to see what Scrumptious
Pink Offerings the other Pinkalicious Girlies are Posting!
Oh-
and
Have A Sparkly Day!


Sparkly Hugs,
Tobi and the Pixies!
