Oh Yeah! This Girl Definitely Has A Story!

(Canvas Sign by EpiphanysCorner)

       I hope the title of the post today didn't scare too many people off. Although if my regular post lengths haven't scared you off, you're loyal...and patient...and I love you! ^_^ And you don't have to worry. I'm not in the mood for "THAT" kind of story-telling today!...not 'today'! :-))

     What the post title has to do with is a treasury. Another treasury done by Laura. And once again she has included my poetry! :-)

(Reasons To Smile-Poem in a Frame by Wuglyees)

        The title of her treasury is Pretty In Pink For Spring...

        And her treasury is what will tell the story today...all in pretty pinks! :-) ... So, here we go: "Once upon a time there was a girl who just wanted to be pretty, and to buy and wear pretty things. Pink things!...

           So she did.....The End!" :-)) ...Tomorrow...the story of blue! ^_^

       Now let me tell you the story of flowers. Crochet flowers! :-)

         You remember these three crochet flower necklaces, right?! (above)...I'm still debating about a button for the one on the left...but even so, I've moved on to pinker and oranger and yellower fields!...

         Forgive the dark photos...like you have forgiven all of the other 'jacked-up' photos I've taken! LOL (It was too dark in the room to take them, but I didn't want to disturb my hubby with a crazy thing like 'lights'! ^_^)

         As you can see, the bud of the flower isn't sewn together yet, and the backing is not sewn in place yet, and the buttons are not sewn onto them yet!...I wasn't in the mood. And I'm not in the mood to tell you the story of why I wasn't in the mood. :-/ Maybe tomorrow....along with the story of 'blue'! ^_^

        The next time you see these little 'babies' though, they'll be necklaces or brooches or boutonnieres! :-) ....And so will these (below)...

         So, there's more to this story. To be continued.......! :-)

    The last part of my story for today has to do with me thanking Sue of the blog SusanD1408 for the Versatile Blogger Award mention...

               Thank you very much, Sue! :-) ...I'm gonna spare the readers of my blog...this time...from me going on and on...again!...with the story of 'ME'! ^_^ But please know that I am indeed honored. :-]

        So, for today, that's the story!....You know how much I love to tell a story. :-) Have a good day Everybody!

I Love To Tell A Story!

Don't pay me any attention
when I scoff at this or that.
I love to tell a story!
Even the wanderings of a gnat.

If somebody breaks a nail,
(all the gory details left out)
I love to tell the story!
Really, what is that all about?!

I'm even ready for a saga
if a trip somewhere is planned.
I love to tell a story
about bad food and parking bans!

I just love to tell a story!
It's a lifetime love of words.
And a wordless Wednesday blog?
Around here, that's for the birds!

Oh Yeah!.....I Almost Forgot......Giveaway!

       Okay folks, you can relax today! There's no spiders, no bears, no softball size hail....do you believe people got that in some areas yesterday?!!...or nothing like that in today's post! LOL Today it's all about flowers!! :-) I absolutely love this beautiful flower in the header photo! I don't know who took it though, so if you know, please 'give a girl a clue'. {That includes for the next photo below too. I like to give credit to people for their work whenever I can.}
     Okay, the reason today's post is all about flowers is for two reasons. One, because I'm finally off of 'spider watch'!! I no longer have that big monster spider loose in my house, I've closed off all bathroom drains...*Teehee*...and I refuse to Google to find out how long spiders incubate in a spider sac before they're born! Enough is enough! LOL So, I need something else to do with myself besides sitting and watching!

      I did finish my book (To Kill A Mockingbird). And today I also have lots of letter writing to do, and lots of phone calls to make. But, before I get to that, I have to take care of some unfinished business. I almost forgot that I didn't post what May 1st's Giveaway would be!!...*smh*...All that spider nonsense totally took me 'off my game'! ^_^
    I decided that because I have so many necklaces...crochet flower necklaces...that I've never listed, I'd make the Giveaway for May 1st one of those necklaces! And since I know what "I" like, but I don't know what "YOU" like, I decided that the winner should be able to choose which one of the necklaces they want!! :-)
    Before I show you what your choices will be, let me encourage you all to PLEASE not forget to "Follow" and put "Enter Me" in your comments below! Last month I only had 4 entries for my blanket! {I refuse to believe that it was because you didn't want my warm, ugly blanket to come live at your house!! LOL}  So, click "Follow", if you aren't already a follower, and put "Enter Me" somewhere in your comment below. One entry per day. 
    Okay, these are the necklaces you'll have to choose from. They're all bold statement pieces, and they all hang from a 17 or 18 inch (43.2 or 45.7cm) gun metal chain or real leather cord...There's this dragonfly and silver metal dangle flower necklace, on a leather cord....

       ...This purple crochet flower danglenecklace, with a metal dangle that holds a purple glass stone. {And by the way, my camera made this crochet flower look like it had more blue tones, but the crochet thread was more the shade of the glass stone in the dangle...just so you know. More of a grape shade.}

       ...Then there's this red, black, and white one, with a pearl-like button, a leather cord, and a glass black and white heart hanging below it.

      ...Next is this peachy-pink one. The button is plastic and the large dangle is glass.

      ...Then this 2-tone blue one. It's a smaller one. It has a clear, plastic button that's shaped like a flower, and a very eye-catching glass dangle hanging below it.

      ...Or how about this smaller one. It has turquoise and green colors, with a glass heart dangle.

      ...Almost done! :-))...There's a pink and white smaller one, with a ribbon necklace, a glass pink and white heart dangle, a gold and white center button, and a little metal heart with "Love" written on it.

     ...This pretty red one, with a longer dangle that has all kinds of interesting beadwork, and a pretty interesting button in the middle too!...

      ...and last, this bold purple, blue, and black one. It has a black center button, and a black and blue cameo-type dangle below it.

      Okay, all done! :-) I'm going to link this post in the right side bar that talks all about my Giveaways, so you can come back here and review if you win it!...The necklaces that are left over will be offered to all of my blog followers for a very reduced price...very reduced...for a short time after the Giveaway. I'm doing that as a thank you to all of you for your constant support and making me feel welcome to blogland this year.
     Yep! William and Katherine and I have something in common....April 29th is their special wedding day, and my special Anniversary! Not my wedding Anniversary though...although YIKES! that's coming fast too!!!...No, it's the Anniversary of my very first blog entry!! :-)I can hardly believe it's almost been a year!!...Got any ideas about what I should do for THAT Anniversary?!!

 1st Anniversary

We've had one year
of laughs and fun.
I knew we'd make it,
Honey Bun!

The wedding's over.
The tears are dry.
We're still together,
Sweetie Pie!

Year number two
will be easy-maybe!
We'll make it so.
Okay-Baby?

Making it last
will be our career.
We'll go headlong,
without fear.

For years to come
we'll be right here,
and I'll love you more
each year-My Dear!
