My friend, KATHY


Here 'tis...
PINK SATURDAY
Beverly has always liked us to spotlight another blogger
so I am doing just that.
THIS IS A REPOST FROM LAST YEAR..
I am sure some of you have meet KATHY...but she is fairly new to me...and I just love her.

ANY one that has a front porch this welcoming and BEAUTIFUL......


.....and has a bedroom wall that "SAYS IT ALL".......

....and is as romantic as to have a "spot" by the window for a nice glass of wine....

....and has a bath THIS cute....

.....and is THIS talented...
....and reads the BEST books...some of which are PINK..... :O)
....and loves her grand kids THIS much...
.....and has the nerve to paint all 4 walls in her magnificent living room a different pastel color and having it turn out better than ANYthing you might see in a decorating book....

...and doing such a fabulous job on it that I get heart palpitations and break into a cold, ENVY SWEAT when I look at the photos....
...and is the GRANDMOTHER of TEN (10) grandchildren and looks THIS dang good...
is bucking for my Number One Hero !!
***
YEP...I highly recommend you go over and meet
take a look around her adorable blog and, I promise...you will become as hooked on her sweetness as I am....
*PRESENT DAY..
Kathy lost her beloved not long ago ...
please go over, leave her a heeee-uge cyber hug and some sweet words....
and, if you will, tell her bj said hello.
xoxo bj

    Hi BJ,
    I've followed Kathy's blog for a long time and you are so right about her talent, beauty and sweetness.
    It was so sad to hear about the passing of her sweet husband. Kathy is an amazing woman and continues to inspire all of us through her talents and faith.

    Thanks for featuring her.

    hugs
    Sissie

    I follow Kathy and admire her greatly. She is one of those women that is so talented, loving and wise. I ached for her when her true love passed on. She is such an example of strength through faith!
    Happy Pink Saturday!

    Kathy's living room, or whatever room she calls the one with the four different paint colors, has always, ALWAYS attracted me to her blog. She is super talented!

    Trying to catch up after my weekend company. I haven't yet met your friend, Kathy. Perhaps time will allow this week. I'm also wanting to see what you've added under your header???

    WOW!! I'm heading over there to *meet* Kathy right after I hit "submit". She seems almost as sweet as YOU, BJ!!!
    I love her creative style & I'm sorry to hear of her recent loss. I dread that day.

    Thanks for telling us about her & thanks for being such a sweet friend to her, too.

    If you are using Internet Explorer, there is an issue with photos not showing up. I had the same issue, and posted using Google Chrome and it worked just fine.
