Wordy Wednesday

I was feeling kinda sentimental today and thought I'd share some of my pins on my Words board with you all.  (Some are hilarious too, as being me I can't ever be sentimental for very long!)  Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Yeah, this one is the MOST sentimental of all (can you 

hear the sarcasm in my voice? LOL)

Don't ya love it?

LOVE this one...

Aren't those Swedes smart?!?

I have loved this quote ever since I've lived...

Isn't this one exciting?

SO TRUE

Hahaha!

And that one, my friends is the one I want you to remember today....

Isn't HE awesome?

Happy Wednesday!

Turquoise Lovin' #2

To say I'm excited about the results of this Turquoise Lovin' party is an understatement.  WOW!!  I am SO happy that SO many of you linked up your turquoise projects. I have had nothing but GORGEOUS eye candy to look at for a week now and I can't get enough of it!  What beautiful turquoise projects you have all created.  And all I have to say is that I can't wait for round two!

But first, we have to feature at least a few of your fun links!  I have to admit I had an AWFUL time choosing which projects to feature, so just know that if I could have featured ALL of them I would have.  But for lack of space, here are a few that caught my eye!

Look at this gorgeous block quilt from Just So Sassy...

Lovin' the black/turquoise color combo!

House of Smiths outdid themselves with this 

beautiful stenciled cake stand...talk about stylin'!!

I really appreciated this unique chandelier artwork

done by Coley's Corner

This girl's desk makeover has to be one of my 

FAVORITES ever done.  STRIKING!!

Go check it out at A Turtle's Life for Me

I just LOVE this Stenciled Magnetic Board done

by Craftionary.  I am wanting to make this creative board for 

MY wall!!

My very FAVORITE post from the week is

from Awesomely Awkward just because it is EXACTLY 

what I was hoping to see at the Turquoise Lovin' parties.  

Jamie just made her own unique post about turquoise.  Simple yet beautiful.  

 And now it's my favorite time of the week...

time to link up those GORGEOUS turquoise posts...

I am SO excited to see what turquoise things 

you have to share this week.

The rules are simple...you can link up ANYTHING turquoise

(please no Etsy shops) be it a project, photography, or just a post about 

something turquoise that you love.  

And if you love this turquoise partying you are more than 

welcome to follow Sweet Little Gals!

 (One more thing...if you have a past project that is turquoise

you can link that up too!  Doesn't have to be a project you did last week.)

Ok, grab a button and link up!!!  Happy Tuesday to all of you!

Sweet Little Photo Swap #10

Time for photo swappin' again!!  Even though the parties have been small so far, I am loving the photos that you faithfuls share each week.   Just know that each and EVERY person that joins makes my heart dance.  (no, really you do!)  I guess I will have to keep searching for more of you awesome photographers.  I know you're out there, just not sure where to find you!

This week I have photos to share from our camping trip to MN, our trip to the mall of America, the zoo, and just random photos from around here.  Hope you enjoy them!

Love this Daddy/daughter photo!!

I liked how the coloring turned out on this one!

A store at the mall of America...framed and all!

He was SO cute, looked at us and then sighed, smiled a little and went back to sleep!

Took this one out the window on our way out of Minneapolis

Also taken out a window

Turquoise Lovin' #1

I am thrilled to introduce my very first Turquoise Lovin' party to you.  If you've been keeping up with my posts in the last week, you know what I'm talking about.  But if you haven't I will explain!

Turquoise Lovin' is going to be a linky party (every Tuesday) ALL about turquoise.  And if you've spent any time at all at Sweet Little Gals, you will know just how much I LOVE turquoise.  ANYTHING turquoise!!  I have it all over my house; blankets, pillows, bedspreads, pictures, flowers, decor, yes it's ALL over!

And Turquoise Lovin' is your chance to share YOUR turquoise stuff.  Your posts can be ANYTHING related to turquoise.  (Please no Etsy shops) You can link up your turquoise projects, Pinterest posts, posts about shoes, turquoise oceans, buildings, weddings, photography, anything that you have posted about that is turquoise.  I am hoping to see lots of links to lots of amazing turquoise posts.

And each week I will share with you some turquoise things that I am lovin'.  (A follow is not required but would be much appreciated!) Also, remember if you link up to the party you are giving your permission for me to feature your creations.


This week I found some WAY cool turquoise things on Pinterest that I want to share.  Look how gorgeous they are. 

LOVE these stairs!

This is SO delightful

Love this sunroom

Shabby chic door
