Happy Birthday to us
Happy Birthday dear Mermaids
Happy Birthday to us!

Thank you to each one you, our faithful readers and followers of both our blog and e-zine! We have made special friends with so many of you and we think you are just AWESOME!
This month our blog friend, Beverly of How sweet the Sound will celebrate the third birthday of PINK SATURDAY! We have made so many of our new friends and contacts through our connection and participation in PINK SATURDAY!
Please visit our Mermaids of the Lake online women's magazine! We would love to have you see the fun we have working and playing together as best friends! This May/June issue is:
Dive into the thrills of Vintage!
Cherishing memories and things from our past is an important part of who the Mermaids are. We delight in reusing old or forgotten things, making them new again! The retro recipes, old-fashioned styles, collections of things we love, and the telling of past times are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to sharing how much we thrill with things vintage! Also in this issue, we honor our mothers and grandmothers who have gone before us, forging the way to help form who we are. We honor our fathers and grandfathers as well. They have played an important role in establishing our place in the world, giving us a sense of history and family pride.
~Mermaids Shelley Hepler and Debbie Nania

Sweet graphic! Happy Birthday, gals! It seems like just yesterday when I first started hearing about "Mermaids of the Lake." I remember wondering what you were all about. I remember asking and one of you was kind enough to spell it out for me. ☺ Here's to many more!

Happy Pink Saturday Debbie Sweetie...
What a gorgeous post today. I love the face of this little girl peering over the table. How absolutely precious it is.

This is really a wonderful blog for women! I love this idea--very inspiring. I will tell my single mom friends about this. I put together a blog for single moms (with a heart for helping them during this tough season of their lives) and to create a place to share tips, resources, and encouragement. It's so nice to see online resources like this for women.
