What with packing and getting ready to have my house torn apart, I didn't think I'd have time to play with Colleen today, but....

well......

I just had to!

This sweet little figurine sits on a shelf in Dahlia's room with many (ahem.....not all) of her Cinderella collection.
Here's that shelf.

And here's where we found her. Now, you can't tell, but the little pumpkin she is sitting on is of course - orange....because pumpkins ARE orange, right? Wrong....in my house they're silver (and with sparkles too).

We don't do orange here so I painted it.

And speaking of paint........I have an anniversary coming up. March 1st marks one year since I opened my blog and I'll be doing a give-away and all I'll say is it has something to do with paint.

You'll have to check back for more clues.

I love your fairy collection. I think it's hysterical that you decided to paint her pumpkin to make your decor.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Of course it is silver...... orange would not go with anything in your beautiful home:)

I thought your giveaway might have to do with fairies...... but now that you said paint..... Are you going to be giving away one of your original paintings??? OMG...I hope that I am right.

Happy weekend.....and good luck with the remodel!!

Sorry we missed each other today:(

I think that beautiful Fairy looks like YOU! Those are really, really beautiful. I LOVE that you painted it silver...with sparkles, of course! It is much more beautiful than ORANGE, especially in YOUR house!

You crack me up!

I can't WAIT to hear what the giveaway is. I am on pins and needles!

Happy Weekend!

Wanda : ) I just laughed out loud about how you don't do orange at your house : ) SO hilarious. Kaishon is all about orange! So, needless to say, we do lots of orange around our house : )

Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!) We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home. This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!
God. My (growing) family. Hangin' out with my girlies. My wonderful friends (you know who you are!). To laugh (out loud and a lot!). Music. Painting. Hugs. Long chats with my buds. My garden. To read (ha...when I can!). Sunshine. Spring, Spring and more Spring. Building things. Cooking. Decorating. Parties (ahem). The internet. Life. Movies. A.I. Dancing with the stars. So you think you can dance. Travel. Umm..did I say laughing my head off. Oh Gee...everything actually!!
