I had so much fun decorating my first bottle a couple of weeks ago, I decided to do a few more. I bought the bottles at Michaels (I think) for only $1 each. I can't remember exactly where I got the rabbit, bird, flower and heart stickers (either at Michaels or JoAnn's fabrics). They are Martha Stewart and were on sale. The ric rac, ribbons, and buttons I got at JoAnn's. I enjoyed being creative. I hope you enjoy them, too. I am going to keep the bunny rabbit one for myself. I am giving the bird one to my sister, Myra, and the flower one to my niece, Robin. We always go for a little "happy hour" on Friday afternoons when Robin is finished with work. I am going to surprise them with their bottle presents. Hope you have had a good week so far. The weekend is in sight!! Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit today. It always makes me smile when you do.
VICKI!!! These are darling!! The happy colors just make me feel good, like spring :) I have those same stickers and I love what you did with them, great job sweetie! Hugs, Amy
Oooh my Vicki, I LOVE your bottles! Yes, you are crafty! I am not sure which is my favorite they are all so beautiful! Your sister Myra will love the one with the bird, and your niece Robin will adore the one with the flower... aren't nieces the best too! The bunny is so perfect for you! I hope you have a fun "Happy Hour"... wish I could join you! That sounds like such a fun tradition you have, I love to hear about what other families do together!

A Recipe for True Beauty
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
In the end, a person is only known by the impact he or she has on others.
I am a romantic at heart. . .
Gratitude is the memory of the Heart.~French Proverb
Meet Miss O, sweet girl Olivia, my newest grandchild
For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.
Sweet spring, full of sweet days and roses, a box where sweets compacted lie.~George Herbert
I would rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck.
We could never have loved the earth so well if we had had no childhood in it.~George Eliot
Dear friends remember...
God is the friend of the wounded heart.
"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird, I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns." George Elliot
While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about!
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Pray all the time. If necessary, use words.
Don't be afraid of tomorrow, for God is already there.
There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again.~Elizabeth Lawrence

Love warms every nest. . .
The fragrance always remains on the hand that gives the rose.

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly. Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, oh, why can't I? If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why, oh, why can't I?
Hold fast to dreams for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.~Langston Hughes
Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."~ MaryAnne Radmacher
Have courage for the great sorrows of life, and patience for the small ones; and when you have accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake. Victor Hugo
Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. Mother Teresa
Thank you for stopping by for a visit at Bunny Cottage!! It always makes me smile when you do.
Thank you for your sweet comments!! They always brighten my whole day!!
I am a retired schoolteacher after 33 years. I am looking forward to retired life although I will probably still tutor some at my school. I have seven beautiful grandchildren that I enjoy spending time with. My family and my faith are the most important things in my life. I am so glad you decided to stop and spend a little time with me here at Bunny Cottage. It is my heart's desire that I can be an encouragement to someone along life's way.
