Summer Expectations

Getting ready for summer means finding some great books to read during the hot, lazy days. It also means trying to find something to keep the kids from becoming bored and wanting to spend time in front of the TV and computer. It means enjoying my time blogging, twittering, facebooking, Etsying, etc. etc. But then again, perhaps I should go outside more and enjoy the weather. But not until I share with you some fabulous treasuries featuring PHP or RAR.

Pretty in Pink was curated by Lirola and shows pink in its most feminine form.


Lirola has some very feminine dresses in her shop. Very dreamy and form fitting.

Friend's fantasy was a beautiful green treasury that included some of PHP's gift tags. This list was lovingly (I think) made by MadeofJacinta. Woo Hoo! I love it!



MadeofJacinta has some gorgeous fabric creations in her shop. I love this unique necklace!

A Peach Slush sure sounds good about now. It also made for a wonderful treasury created by Ozetta!


Ozetta is keeping up with the seasons with these light and airy scarves!

Mother's Day has come and gone, but I'll never forget Vicki Diane for creating her one of a kind treasuries -- this one featuring moms and daughters! Thanks, Vicki Diane!!


Some hot and gorgeous jewelry can be found at VickiDianeDesigns!!




Even though all these Etsy sellers love to make treasuries and gave PHP a chance to shine, I hope everyone takes a minute to visit each of the online stores featured here. You never know, there just might be something waiting for you to buy!

SWEET SATURDAY SALES

As I was looking through the shops I was planning to feature this weekend, I noticed something very special. Each of them is having a sale of some sort. You'll find out shortly what their sweet Saturday deals are...

But first, I've been feeling quite sweet lately. I've started taking a variety of vitamins, HRT (natural, of course) and other general good-for-you pills and it's amazing how more relaxed I feel. It couldn't be that I'm celebrating a birthday on Sunday just because it's a turn-of-the-(half)century kind of birthday and I've heard others struggle during this particular age of their life. I'm okay with it.

I'm also having a birthday sale this weekend in both my shops: PipingHotPapers and RunAliceRun - 15% off all merchandise if you only put "Happy Birthday" in the "notes to seller" section of your invoice. I may even run it through May!

I also think you should check out this shop -- Sigmosaics -- Kerrin is offering free shipping on all her magnets -- and that's a sweet deal because Kerrin lives in Portugal! But first I want to say "thank you" Kerrin for the down the yellow brick road treasury you created with one of my mini notebooks included! xoxoxoxo



I love Kerrin's mosaics. Clean, crisp lines appeal to me in all areas of my life. I wish I was more clean and crisp in my homemaking skills!

PS I don't know why this paragraph is underlined. If someone can tell me how to turn it off I'd appreciate it!





Anakim curated a beautiful treasury featuring some new mirrors I've just begun offering in my shop. Some of you may know I'm not a "pink" kind of girl, but the more I see pink being used, the more that color grows on me. Thanks, Orna, for making my sweet pink item look gorgeous!!


Anakim is having a sale celebrating her 1st year on Etsy. Check out her shop to see her sweet deals!!



Happy Thursday was a happy day for me when pixiepaper decided to include some magnets from RunAliceRun. Woo hoo!! Theresa is such a sweetie!


Pixiepaper has many sweet deals in her Spring Cleaning Sale! Check her out -- well, check out her shop. I don't think there are any personal pictures in her shop so you won't be able to check "her" out! :-) Theresa - do you like my "thank you" I sent you via this blog? I even used one of your own cards!!





Sweet Saturday Sales - Do me a favor and be sweet to somebody this weekend!!
