Last week, I went to visit the St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans.
Jeanne d'Arc Necklace
While I was there, I bought a medallion of Jeanne d’Arc for my
special daughter-in-law, Nikki and created this necklace for her
with a key, a crown, and gear for her birthday.
"Charmed" Wall Hanging
Then, I created this wall hanging for her. It includes one of my
favorite images from Shabby Cottage Studio. I couldn’t wait to
make a collage using this vintage blue necklace. It is being entered
in the Spot Prize challenge at Dezinaworld where the theme is
“Charming.”
Sugar-Sweet Lollipops
Then, I made these for my grandchildren to accompany
the other gifts. Of course, the sugar is actually white glitter!
The heart images are from Shabby Cottage Studio too!
They're fun to make--Honestly, I don't know how the idea
popped into my head--but I think they'd also be cute to
stick inside a planter in the house.
While at the cathedral last week, I prayed for all of my family
and friends--and that includes all of you that I have
met while blogging.
Wishing you a beautiful weekend~A Happy Pink Saturday!
and a Spiritual Sunday!!!

Hi Cindy, When I was a very poor college student I sat in Jackson Square on the weekends and did charicatures of people to make a little money.
I love that area....Boom
Thanks for the prayers Cindy! I know I need 'em. Your gifts are all just beautiful and I know your grandchildren will love those Valentines just as the daughter-in-law will love that necklace.

Charming necklace, Cindy~ I'm sure your daughter-in-law will love it! I loved Jackson Square...fun to visit the street artists and musicians and the surrounding shops! The museum with all the Mardi Gras costumes was one of my favorite places to visit! The park area is very lovely, as well!

LOVE that wall hanging and of course, the Valentine pops. I think they'd be cute in a vintage bottle too. Instead of one bloom, one lolli ;)

Oh my goodness, love everything but especially those lollipops. And, wait a minute, when did I miss daughter-in-law and grandchildren? ;) You are very blessed.
Much love your way my friend.
HI Cindy!
The lollipops are so sweet and would make a wonderful adornment to a gift package.
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend. La
Happy Pink Saturday Cindy Sweetie...
What a beautiful share this is. I so enjoyed this view of the St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans. How gorgeous it is. Thank you for the prayers.
I love the crown, key and medallion necklace that you made for your DIL, Nikki. What a treasure for her to keep for many years to come.
Now those delicious little sugar coated lolli's are just scrumptous looking. So pretty and I just know your grands are going to love them. That is a wonderful idea, and your wall plague is beautiful as well. What artistic talents you have sweet friend. I so enjoyed my visit today.
Hope you have a beautiful weekend. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

Beautiful photo of the cathedral! Love all your pretty creations.
Happy PS!
Cindy,
Love this post. What an awesome idea using the heart Valentine images on popsicle sticks. They would be perfect tucked into a cupcake, on a cake or in a floral arrangement. Brilliant. Love it. You go girl.
Happy Pink Saturday,
Cathy
Oh Cindy, How cute! And you know me - my fave are the cute "lollipop" sticks for the grandkids. How fun! And more ideas popping in my brain, thanks to you, for fun winter activities for grandparents and grandchildren. I did buy the tags, but couldn't quite entice the grandboys from their fun Wii games for the grand kids (and not-so-seniors-granny nanny), so will try again this week. :) Have a happy Pink Saturday.
There is no doubt about you Cindy. Just gorgeous and made with love!

You do have some lovely kind thoughts, Cindy.
The cathedral is magnificent. Living in the UK, and not keen on travel,this is one way I can see the rest of the world. So, thank you!
You picked up some interesting bits and pieces and have made a beautiful gift. Yes, they would be excellent plant pot labels.
Good work!!!!!!!!
best wishes

Hi Cindy. Love the photo of Jackson Square. I went to New Orleans before the floods. ITs good to see that it hasnt changed Jackson Square much. Is it all back to normal round there now? I have often wondered how it looks now after those floods. The wall hanging piece is absolutely beautiful. Hugs Sara
