Friday Favorites

Smiling Faces

Posted on May 21, 2010 by crystal

When I was a little girl, I loved to watch my grandmother plant pansies. She loved flowers, and I loved her, so I guess that’s how my love of flowers began.

Nana said that if you looked closely enough at the pansies, you could see little “faces” – smiling faces! I can remember squinting at the blooms and then agreeing it was true.

For this week’s Friday Favorites, I have a colorful vintage illustration with a whole basket of pretty pansies, followed by an interesting quote.

“We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible”. ~Vince Lombardi

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Thank you so much for another fun week. 🙂

See ya Monday!

Another week has flown by, Kids!

For this week’s Friday Favorites, I have . . .

and a great quote – to make us think! 😉

German Proverb

Hope your weekend is full of sweet things!!!

After yesterday’s group rant, I thought we could use a little serenity . . .

OK everybody…

Take a nice deep cleansing breath….

Hold it for a few seconds…..

Slowly blow it out…….

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Now we’re all relaxed, right?

Yay!! 😀

This week’s Friday Favorites is in keeping with the de-stress theme. I have a beautiful, and very calming, vintage illustration; and a quote that will help to banish those minor annoyances that can crop up from time to time. 🙂

“Give your stress wings, and let it fly away.”

Hugs and warmest wishes for a wonderful weekend!! 😀

For you . . .

I found some vintage flower images; photoshopped them a little; and then put them to good use.

I made a greeting for you. 🙂

It’s not exactly an e-card. . .

It’s a “blog-card”! 😉

Peeps update! 🙂

Oh my goodness! I forgot to report on how things went with the peeps. (original post here) My daughter said that everything arrived in fine shape. She said the candy peeps were in perfect condition, even though the little cellophane package they come in had a slight bend in it. And the plush “toy” peep only needed a few pats to make his “fur” look good as new. 🙂 Yay!!!

We were so relieved to hear it. In the future though, we’ll probably make sure we have the right shipping box at home – ahead of time! No more assuming we can find an appropriate size, last minute, at the post office.

To those who celebrate Easter, I wish you a very lovely day!

And may every one of us have a relaxing and refreshing Spring weekend!

Thanks a million for your sweet and thoughtful comments! Meet ya back here on Monday for another fun week! 😀

Hugs,
