~Blog Costume Party ~ At Loveleigh Treasures~

Where's the birthday girl?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARES!!!

Don't you look gorgeous!!

Y'all look just beautiful!!

I am sooo sorry I'm late....

But I just couldn't do a thing with my hair!!! 

 

First, I thought sweet and simple was

the way to go.

Nothing too fancy or over done.

This is the first dress I was thinking of wearing.

There are so many to choose from!

I just couldn't make up my mind... 

I don't want to look like the

Birthday Cake!!

A hat maybe???

Or how about a mask...

 hmmmm...

But what if nobody else is wearing a mask?? 

I don't think it's a masquerade.

A fan would be a nice touch.

Should I use this one....

Or this one???

 

(Sigh)

This is just exhausting!!!!

Maybe I'll just stay home in bed....

A nap sounds heavenly!!!

But I know there will be CAKE!!!!

And you know how I LOVE cake :))

 So out of bed and pick a dress...

But which one???

I could be a little naughty

and wear this one...

Ummm... no.

Too much cleavage??

I think so...

Modesty is the best policy :))

I always say...

Okay... forget the dress for now.

I'll pick the shoes and then the dress to match!

OHHH... These are lovely!!!

Or how about these???

I really like the white ones.

But what about yellow... or pink, or BLUE,

OR GREEN!!!!

Uhhh Ohhhh...

Here comes that feeling again!!!

I just can't make up my mind!!!

What am I going to do???

Okay...

Happy Place, Happy Place...

BREATH

BREATH

breath

oookkaayy....

happy place :)

lying in a grassy field...

looking at the clouds...

aaahhhh...

yeeessss....

Sorry 'bout that...

(hehe)

Okay... now where was I??

oh yes,

the dress.....

You know.....

I think I'll just wear that little black dress

and a simple feather for my hair.

Perfect :)

I hope I'm not boring you....

Now for your gifts!!!

~ For When I am Weak, Then I am Strong ~

This past week was especially hard for me.

 Physically, spiritually, and emotionally...

I am spent!!!

We had a very sudden and tragic death in our family.

 (my cousin, David)

I was stressed all week long waiting on my mom's test results (it's all good, praise God!!)

And I had a bout of a 24 hour

 (BUT SOOO MISERABLE, THOUGHT MY EYEBALLS WOULD POP OUTTA MY HEAD) bug!!

I still have not regained all of my strength.

It's all I can do to lift Presley up in my arms.

 I would say it's been one of "THOSE" weeks.

One that I am not ready to experience again any time soon. But I am praying that this week will be full of renewed strength (physically, spiritually, and emotionally.)

I need all the strength I can muster to get all of my inventory photographed, priced, and posted.

I also have many projects that I am ready to start and share with you!!! 

So be sure and check back.

I will also announce the "object(s)" of my giveaway.

If you want to be entered, first, become a follower and then leave me a comment.

(I LOVE COMMENTS :))

This will automatically enter you in any and all giveaways that I will have :))  

I hope you all have a wonderful week!!!

I pray that God will bless each and every one of you!!

And remember...

If you are feeling a bit (or very) weak,

lean on this scripture...

"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in difficulties.

For when I am weak, then I am strong.

2 Corinthians 9, 10.

Love to you all!!!

~ Amazing Grace ~

Romans 5:1-2  "1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand..." Galatians 5:4

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.

And Grace, my fears relieved.

How precious did that Grace appear

The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares

I have already come;

'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far

and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.

His word my hope secures.

He will my shield and portion be,

As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

And mortal life shall cease,

I shall possess within the veil,

A life of joy and peace.

When we've been here ten thousand years

Bright shining as the sun.

We've no less days to sing God's praise

Than when we've first begun.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see.

~ Thank you Lord for your love, mercy, and grace in my life ~
For all that you are and all that you do and all that I am in you
I thank you and give you all the praise, glory, and honor!!
Amen...

 

~ Pink Saturday ~

Well poo,  I missed the party for Pink Saturday :(  

 I guess I will have my own pink party... 

I hate being left out!! 

 Oh well, life goes on....

A simple but powerful prayer.

Sweet pillow with sweet words.

All I hope to make my home to be.

This is a sign that hangs on the door to Kylee's room. Very appropriate I think.

A bonnet I made for Kylee.

The roses on the side are made with ribbon.

It was my first time trying this.

I love ribbon embroidery. 

 

My favorite little outfits.

A very sweet bib and burp rag.

Very fitting for a little princess.

I have a thing for metal buckets. This is one I bought from Rachel Ashwell's store in Austin before she closed the location. I was pretty bummed when that day came.

I use it as a trash can in Kylee's room.

This is the print of the sheets on the bed. I would love to make her bedding out of them but I just can't bring myself to cutting them up. I will eventually...

I just have to work up to it!!

I have several pictures like this one in her room. 

 This one just happened to have a pink hue.

A picture of pink roses. I love them!! They are by far my favorite flower.

I hope Kylee will love them as much as I do :))

Have a wonderful Pink Saturday!!!
