ABC WEDNESDAY I is for Inflatables and Irish

This is my first time participating with Aris @http://abcwednesday-mrsnesbitt.blogspot.com/ for ABC Wednesday.

Since this is the week of St. Patricks Day, I am featuring for the letter "I"--Irish and Inflatables.

These pics were taken last year in the Kansas City St. Patricks Day Parade.

Wee Irishmen

My little "Irish" grands. (We are a wee bit Irish too, my great-grandfather was Patrick Fletcher.

Having a great week here in Kansas--70's and 80's all week.

Decopage Easter Eggs

I used to decopage lots of items years ago and I thought I would give it a try again.  I purchased this bag of Easter Egg Napkin rings at a garage sale last summer.  I knew I'd have to do something to them--not very attractive do you think??

I used some shiny wrapping paper with pinks and greens.

I also covered some white wooden eggs with some tissue paper.

The paper is pretty shiny so it was just a little hard getting a good shot.

Enjoy some of that spring time weather today.

Kansas Weather

A friend on facebook posted this the other day and I cannot pass up the opportunity to share with my blogging friends.

We all know the weather all over the country has been WACKY this year so here's our intrepretation!

Should we just keep ALL of our clothes out all year long?  I think so!!

My friend said these were for sale, I need me one of these.

Have a great Tuesday.

Blue Monday - What gets me up and going

What gets you up and moving on a Monday morning?   For me it's a great cup of coffee in my new Keurig  (notice the blue lights) and french vanilla creamer.  Just time to drink up and post on Sallys Blue Monday Blog.

Forgot I had this pretty Fire King glass dish.  It was tucked away in a cabinet so I think I'll start using it from time to time.

It has a light blue tint in the glass.

Super Blue Monday everyone.

Pink Saturday

While getting my locks colored and cut this week I noticed this very CREATIVE spring wreath on the window of the beauty shop.

Is this not the cutest idea!!!!

Please pardon the glare I had to step outside because the lightning was too dim in the shop.

Did you ever wear these brush rollers? I remember wearing them to bed even!!

Glossed and Glamorous

This cup belongs to one of the stylists.  She can check out her lipstick when having her coffee. I need me one of these.

Last week I visited a blog for the first time candylei @http://westieartgarden.blogspot.com., I'm sure you will love her artwork and her Westies.

I'm linking with Beverly @http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog

Vintage Thingie Thursday - Ann Margaret and The Ted Mac Original Ameature Hour

Do you enjoy shows like American Idol where you vote on your favorite?? My favorite show is American Idol and I have picked some favorites. Stars have been made, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and Katherine McFee to name a few. Have you seen SMASH--Katherine is fantasic.

It reminded me of the "Ameature Hour with Ted Mac". Are you of the age to have seen these in person like me. I remember seeing this episode when Ann Margaret sang on the show.  According to Wickipedia The Ted Mac Original Amateur Show ran until Sept. 1970 and was being aired on ABC at the time.

Have you picked a favorite on the show yet?
