Pink Saturday, Cake and Freebies!

I have regretfully been absent the past two weeks or so
because my computer is out on the front lawn smashed to little bits.
Well, not really, although I would have enjoyed the smashing to bits part.
It has been all but worthless, won't let me upload,
taking off for lala-land whenever I click on something...
OK, OK, enough kvetching!!

I have been busy crafting, though:
I made this pretty little crown for my friend Brenda's birthday:



And this little piece of cake:



And inside I tucked a pretty little bracelet:



And I have fallen behind on my Friday freebies,
so here's a couple of cuties for you:




Please visit Pink Saturday for more lovely pinkness!

Have a great weekend!

    Oh my, I do love that crown you made! What lucky friends you have! I've been wanting to trying my hand at making one of these but am always a bit intimidated... do you know of any great tutorials out there in Blogland?

    Happy Pink Saturday Lorraine Sweetie...
    Oh my what a gorgeous blog home. I am so tickled to have found you today. I enjoyed seeing your creations for your sweet friend. Love, love the crown, so detailed and beautiful. Love the glitter. Glitter makes everything happy.

    How sweet to have a slice of cake and a bracelet inside as well. That is absolutely delightful, and I am sure your friend was SO tickled pink. French and ooh - la-la. LOVE it.

    Thank you for the graphics share as well. I am your newest follower, and I can't wait to see what you share next. I would love to have you pop over and say hello. Would be tickled pink if you followed me as well. I love sharing my day to day lives and craft creations along the way.

    Have a glorious weekend. Many country hugs from Phoenix, Sherry

    Hello,
    I visited your blog today. I thought it was so colorful, pretty, and full of life! While I was reading, I noticed that we have a lot of the same interests. I have two fabulous daughters also. They love to travel, and the movie 'Amelie' is one of their favorites. We are Southern Califorinia gals too!! Me and my daughters just started a new blog, and we would love it if you could visit us and follow. I would enjoy coming back to visit with another Southern Cal. gal, and looking at all your wonderful, creative ideas. Hope to hear from you, and have a sweet day.
