". . . pink & blue crafts . . . "

A few days ago was my daughter's christening. The day prior to baptism was raining and the baptism was to be held outdoors. It was a small beautiful outdoor church! Rain and outdoors is never a good combination... What would happen to the ceremony of the baptism and the baby, who by the way she had fever! What would happen to the guests? To the decoration? I could not sleep all night ... Once it dawned however I ran to look out of the window and oh what a miracle. A beautiful day ... A beautiful sunny day ...I was so grateful ... Everything was really wonderful.... My little princess's day... A day of joy and happines...

The church....

The favors... I made them... 180 pieces... A big thanks to Crafty Staci. I used one of her ideas! Go and Check it out... craftystaci.com/2010/04/08/forever-fabric-flowers/

Everybody loved them...

So girlie....

Macarons....

Here in Greece every guest wears one little cross.. The proof that they were at the ceremony

The train that brought the guests from the parking to the church...

So adorable...

My little princess...

Something sweet.....

Cheers....!!!

Natasha from 5minutesjustforme.blogspot.com shares today her favourite song with us and invited us to link up with our favourite song.
So she gave me a great idea for a post.
My latest favourite song is je veux from zaz . I just love it. You should listen to it and you will understand why I like it so much.

It's a French song. The group are street singers and this song "je veux" is a big hit now in France and in Greece. I hope you like it! The say that the singer is the new Edie Piaf.

I wrote the lyrics in French and then in English
Natasha thank you for the party....

Je veux

Donnez-moi une suite au Ritz, je n'en veux pas
Des bijoux de chez Chanel, je n'en veux pas
Donnez-moi une limousine, j'en ferais quoi ?
Offrez-moi du personnel, j'en ferais quoi ?
Un manoir a Neufchatel, ce n'est pas pour moi
Offrez-moi la Tour Eiffel, j'en ferais quoi ?
Je veux de l'amour, de la joie, de la bonne humeur
Ce n'est pas votre argent qui fera mon bonheur
Moi je veux crever la main sur le cœur
Allons ensemble, découvrir ma liberté
Oubliez donc tous vos clichés
Bienvenue dans ma réalité
J'en ai marre de vos bonnes manières, c'est trop pour moi
Moi je mange avec les mains et je suis comme ça
Je parle fort et je suis franche, excusez moi
Finie l'hypocrisie, moi je me casse de là
J'en ai marre des langues de bois
Regardez-moi, de toute manière je vous en veux pas et je suis comme ça
Je veux de l'amour, de la joie, de la bonne humeur
Ce n'est pas votre argent qui fera mon bonheur
Moi je veux crever la main sur le cœur
Allons ensemble, découvrir ma liberté
Oubliez donc tous vos clichés
Bienvenue dans ma réalité

I want

Give me a suite at the Ritz hotel, I don't want that
Chanel's jewellery, I don't want that
Give me a limo, what would I do with it?
Offer me staff, what would I do with it?
A mansion in Neufchatel, it's not for me
Offer me the Eiffel tower, what would I do with it?
I want love, joy, good spirit
It's not your money that will make me happy
I want to die with a hand on my heart
Let's go together, let's discover my freedom,
Forget all your prejudice, welcome to my reality
I'm fed up with your good manners, it's too much for me
I eat with my hands, I'm like that
I speak loud and I'm direct, sorry
Let's end the hypocrisy, I'm out of it
I'm tired of double-talks
Look at me, I'm not even mad at you, I'm just like that
I want love, joy, good spirit
It's not your money that will make me happy
I want to die with a hand on my heart
Let's go together, let's discover my freedom,
Forget all your prejudice, welcome to my reality

Smiles Maria
