Vintage Valentine Postcard / A Card for my Valentine

Since Valentine's Day is rapidly approaching and I want to get my Pink Saturday post up on time,plus the revealing of the Amour swap is this weekend, I figured I better show you this cute little card before I run out of time and the holiday is completely over.

I went to the drugstore and picked out a great one for my sweetheart and I was so blessed that there are so many to choose from. Hallmark did have the most wonderful cards. Here is the one I bought, and although he is not the biggest dog fan in the world when you find the right words the picture on the outside is secondary. And who wouldn't love those pups.

                                                                

                                                          Happy Valentine's Day

          to the man

       I want beside me

          for the rest

          of forever.
So this is the card I will give my hubby on Sunday. I hope you have found the perfect card for your Valentine! This should be a big weekend in blogland so make sure you stop by again to see all the pretties!

Have a wonderful day. Blessings Meg

Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men

I haven't blogged for awhile and I was actually thinking about giving it up. Does anyone read it anyway I ask myself and then I meet a friend who doesn't blog and isn't even a follower but somehow she found my blog and she confirms that I haven't been around in blogland and maybe people do read it she says [ since she does ] and they just don't comment. I wonder??? I read alot more blogs than I comment on so I wonder if  anyone else does the same. I guess  we all need encouragement sometimes so, I think I will take much better notice when I visit my blog friends and stop long enough to say ..........   
Hello Again Friend!!!

     I am working on my package for the Amour Valentine Swap and I've been digging through some old stuff for inspiration.

"Oh Look! Here's my Garden Journal, and only nine weeks left till spring!!!!"

We had such great plans to get all the shelving done in the basement and work on the filing system this month and the list goes on and on and just  as we were getting ready to tackle the basement my DH took a wicked fall on the ice and tore a muscle in his shoulder and boy  has he been in pain. So consequently the " Let's get organized shout" that resounded from the walls of our humble abode has turned into a still small voice awaiting better days and healing.

Hubby You are the BEST!

Remember when I bought these great vintage postcards? Here are a few for you to enjoy.This genteel lady is outstanding don't you think?

Enjoy your weekend and do have fun!!!

  Blessings to you all! Meg 

Coming Today Doors of Welcome

Welcome to our Home

I visited my Mom this past weekend and low and behold she showed me all these wonderful  postcards she has been saving from my great aunt. This one was sent in 1906 and still has the glitter intact! I will be back with my door after lunch. Hope you have a great day!

Addendum..........

Today is a rainy day so my door pictures did not come out to well but I will take new ones tomorrow and update my post. I am not much for little cliches but I do feel very strongly about making sure that the birth of 

Jesus is the focus of my whole Christmas!

This next picture is of a star that I found in a box my aunt was throwing away since I am not really into the star trend, I saved it till Christmas, a reminder of the star that pointed the way to a stable where while the rest of the world was sleeping, the son of God, Emmanuel, was born! So I  painted it the color of royalty, purple, for the

King of Kings !

 

Sorry the pics are so blurry but it was raining and that is the best they get for now. 

Doors of Welcome is the brainstorm idea of 

Karen at Some Days are Diamonds, make sure you stop by and see who else has decorated and then peruse all the other Doors. I plan to take a bit of time every day to visit someone new. Have a most blessed of Christmas Holidays enjoying the special times with family and friends as you celebrate the most important birthday of all time.

Blessings to You!! Meg
