With this being the Saturday after Christmas, it is a given to be posting Pink Christmas gifts. That is if you got anything pink, which I did. Yay!
First up is something that was in my stocking. Slipper socks with pink stripes on them. You will notice there are also blue stripes, but I decided to use it for Pink Saturday. Besides I am having a hard time these days coming up with pink things. I need all the help I can get. Blue on the other hand I have plenty of. Just a matter of deciding what to share first and next and so on.
This angel doesn't have much pink, except for maybe her hands. But I just had to share it. I got it from my secret sister at church. We will reveal sometime in January. I can't wait to find out who it is. I have no clue this time. And this year whoever it is has been a wonderful secret sister. This is the Angel of Healing from Willow Tree designs. I was very touched to get this angel. My job is one where I help people to rehab or heal so they can get home. So this was very appropriate. Like I said, I was very touched.
Next is a bread basket I got from my mom. It came with four different covers. The bottom one has pink hearts and butterflies on it. Good to use around Valentine's Day but also good for the summer too. You can see the yellow one here too. Good for during the Spring.
This picture shows the covers to use during the Fall and the Holidays. I love this basket. I will be sure to use it often.
And last is a gift my husband got from my brother and his wife. They were recently in Hawaii earlier this month. Like very recent. They just got back on Tuesday I think. Just in time for Christmas. You can see the pink flowers on the purple cup. My daughter would probably love this because of the purple, her favorite color. I just may steal this cup from hubby and use it for my coffee. I am sure hubby will be willing to share it with me. He also got some coffee to go with the cup. This is just a piece of our Christmas. I will be sharing more later and also on Blue Monday. Might as well have fun spreading it out. Right?!?
P.S. I am noticing that my blog does not seem to be working quite right. If trying to look at the blog at the beginning, like if you click on home or when you first visit, my side bar does not show on the right side. It is all down at the bottom of my blog. But if you click only on an individual post then you can see the side bar where it is supposed to be. Does anyone know why it is doing that and how I can fix it? I notice that I do not have that issue with my craft blog. Grr! Thanks for any help you can give me. :-)
UPDATE: I did a search on Blogger help forum and finally found the answer to my problem. It had to do with the publishing aspect. On the previous blog I had checked the box to ignore the fix the html thingy. So I republished my previous post and deleted the highlighted places it was telling to delete so post can be published. After fixing that, my blog loaded correctly for me. Yay!! Learned something new, which is always good.

First of all thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. It is greatly appreciated! And it is nice to find you too. I love the idea mentioned in your previous blog about opening your Christmas gifts simultaneously while on the phone to your daughter. One is always looking for ideas to liven up 'long-distance parenting'! I was also without one half of the family this year. Your line up of presents is great. Always fascinating to peek into someone else's Christmas stocking!
Hi Linnea!
I can't help you with your technical problems with your blog--wish I could!
Loved all of your wonderful Christmas shares! That basket and all of those liners is wonderful!!
Best wishes for a wonderful New Year and a terrific Pink Sat.! Dana
Linnea, my little chick, we're empty nesters also! I love it. But your pink socks are what I adore most. I always get a couple of pair a year to just wear around the house to keep my tootsies warm.
Nice to meet you and smooches

I can't help with tech stuff; sorry. I enjoyed seeing your gifts. I especially like the Willow Tree angel. Happy Pink Saturday!
Linnea, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! I love your "pink" striped socks. My hubby filled my stocking with socks. All in "girl" colors so my son won't "borrow" them. LOL
Happy Pink Saturday!!
Thank you for visiting my place! What fun to see the gifts your received this Christmas! BTW, my daughter currently is in OT school. Blessings, Shay

Hello, saw your comment to Essemia. It's interesting that you have relatives in Stockaryd, I've been living in that place for many years ago, my sister is still.

Great stuff!
Linnea -- Sorry I'm absolutely NO help! I finally figured out how to put a link with a name of a blog. LOL! I'm technologically challenged.
Cute socks! They look cozy! And that angel is so pretty and your bread baskets, too!
Loved all your pink pretties.
XO,
Sheila
Sorry you're having bloggy issues, 'Nea!! I'm techno-challenged so I won't be of much help. :(
I want a trip to Hawaii, but your mug is very cute!!
New Year Blessings to you and yours,
Becky
Enjoyed all of your pinkies today...I sell Willow Tree in my flower shop! They are my best sellers. You must have a wonderful Secret Sister.
Happy New Year!
Hi Linnea,
Your new socks look warm and cozy!
Happy Pink Saturday...
Love, Ann
Yeah for getting your blog fixed again. Nothing like having great things to share and finding those pain in the butt problems. Nice work and happy holidays!
Katie
The slippers look oh so cozy!
It looks like you got some sweet pink gifts : ) I love your idea about your purple in the bathroom. I had a purple bathroom a few years ago and on Christmas I decorated it with purple things, it was so pretty.
Kathy
Well it did take a while to load but it did and it's beautiful. The only think happening right now is that it has the hiccups, otherwise I love the socks. I could use a pair of those pretty ones.
