Pink Saturday - Traditions & Giveaway

CHRISTMAS GIFTS

Traditions

from the heart

and

sometimes with

a pink twist!

Giving gifts ...

This year I participated in my

FIRST EVER

blog swap.

"Shabby Pink Christmas Swap"

was hosted by

My So Called Junky Life

here.

April of Frilyy Frolic

was my partner.

(April's blog here)

We exchanged ornaments.

I included her little

angel

on one.

Isn't she a doll?

And I received so much more

than the Santa, Nutcracker and

beautiful gift tags.

The seeds were planted for a new friendship.

Another special friend

(who I talk about ALL the time!!)

Laurie

Laurie's Charming Designs

here

Sent me this

fabulous tag/bookmark

And look at the envelope!

She knows I love pointsettia pictures.

How thoughtful!

And so many new friends ...

just because I stepped out a little.

and started a blog.

My gift to you?

Permission to

try something new ...

I tried something new

and created

my first

altered journal.

A Possibilities Journal

that I gave to a friend.

****

HOLD ON!!

There is another present ...

A GIVEAWAY

celebrating

CHRISTMAS

100 posts

My Birthday

(Christmas Eve)

WoW!

That's a lot to celebrate!

So ....

here's the giveaway

A $25 gift certificate to

Anthropologie

Just a way to say thank you

for a wonderful year of

letting me try something new

and showering me

with the gifts of

friendship

and

encouragement

It has felt like

Christmas

every day!

Hugs!

This posting will remain up (and the giveaway open) until January 3rd.

We are off to visit family, and if I have computer time I will spend it getting caught up by visiting blog friends (and new friends!) who I have so poorly neglected.
