When the three o'clock bell sounded this afternoon, the teachers beat the buses out of the school parking lot. No more papers, no more books, no more students' dirty looks...at least for a week anyway. Spring Break couldn't come at a better time. I'm going to use the coming week to relax and recharge. I think I might even try to unplug.
We've been doing a little favor making again, this time for St. Paddy's Day. I took this cute vintage image I had and copied it onto cream colored card stock. I found these fun little shamrock rings at the bakery (they use them as cupcake decorations), cut a slit through the card, and pushed the ring back through the opening so that the shamrock would be flush with the card. I added some ribbon for embellishment and, voila! These are intended for my daughter's fellow ballerinas at dance class. We don't want anyone getting pinched if we can help it. No biting would also be nice, but these are three-year-olds that we are talking about, so all bets are off. Hope you all have a fun day too!
It's 38 degrees outside with a possibility of snow flurries. Perfect weather for eating ice cream out of a pretty dish.
I finally found some time to make some charm bracelets for my little shop. I haven't had anything new in there since before Christmas. It's amazing what I can accomplish once I get off the sofa. LOL! Hope you have a wonderfully productive day... on the sofa or elsewhere.
The winners of my little giveaway are...
Hello friends, and welcome back to Pink Saturday. I thought you might get a kick out of these adorable little doll shoes. I squealed with delight when I received them at Christmas. Too bad little dollies are the only ones with feet tiny enough to fit them. With the right outfit, I think I could totally pull off wearing them, if only they were my size. Patent leather and pink, it just doesn't get much better than that.
Guess what... This baby blog turned one year old today! 
First Prize is this fun Mary Engelbreit canister.
I bet it would be great with your spring decorations!
Second Prize is this charming tea book and an adorable set of spoons.
You'll have to have a tea party ASAP if you are the recipient of these.
Third Prize is this sweet "Home Is Where the Heart Is" cup and saucer set.
I never really thought of pink as one of my favorite colors until I had a daughter. 
Growing up my closet contained lots of blue, a smattering of red, the occasional yellow, purple when I could find it, and only one pink dress that I can remember.
However, I'm making up for lost time through my girl.
Hello friends, thank you so much for stopping by for a visit today! I am so excited to be participating in Beverly's Pink Saturday Tour. I have been wanting to play along for the longest time, but this is the first time I've had my act together to have anything to present.
Tonight we needed a little midweek pick me up, and Macaroni and Cheese was the answer. I mean nothing snaps you out of a work induced coma quite like a heaping helping of carbs, right? I am still on the search for the quintessential mac and cheese recipe, but this one does the trick in a pinch. I thought you might like it too.
I found this recipe for "Classic Cheese Sauce" on a box of Argo cornstarch. I just whip it up, and add it to about 12 ounces of cooked and drained shell pasta. 
It's super easy to make the sauce. Just keep stirring so that it doesn't scorch!
Smooth and delicious!
Al dente all the way :0)
Time to mix things up.
After a little of this along with the latest episode of Lost, the weekend doesn't seem so far away.
