Pink Saturday

Thank you to Beverly of How Sweet the Sound for hosting!! It is that time again only I haven't been posting very often lately
for Pink Saturday.
But today I found a few things again.
Hubby said with my choice of pinks that I was scrambling.
Maybe that is not the right word.
But anyway.
Here are some PINKS.
This pink covered chair is my project for
The Procratinators Party.
See my craft blog for more on that.
Just click on the sewing machine in my side bar
on the left.
I have been doing a lot of flower photography alot lately.
Trying to master the different settings
to get awesome pictures.
Here are a couple of PINK ones.
I like how when you focus on the near object,
the distance gets blurred.
Cool effect!
My cute turtle hanging out with my PINK and white
dianthus plants.
Doesn't that turtle sort of remind you of the Ninja Turtles?
Remember when those were popular?
I noticed seed packets posted on a PINK Saturday.
I realized,
Hey! I have some of those.
I have not planted any yet.
I did get outside on Thursday.
But wouldn't you know, on Friday, the first day of May,
we were having pouring rain.
And it was cold too!
That is unheard of around here for the first of May.
Crazy weather.
So these pretty seed packets are patiently waiting for me to plant them.
While looking for PINK stuff I came across this Thank you card.
It was from my daughter-in-law's grandmother.
We had given a donation in memory of her grandfather when he passed
away recently to the hospice there.
This really is PINK!
Found it at the Dollar Tree for a buck!!
Does it look more PINK here?
I guarantee it is PINK!!

Aha! My current cereal in a PINK box!!

Oh, and this too. My favorite flavor of Coffee-mate.
Cool PINK colors here.
Yummy too!
Happy Pink Saturday everyone.

It's a Perfect Pink Post! Who's scrambling! This is FUN to see all of th pink that surrounds you! I had a bowl of that red berry cereal this morning! We have the same exact cereal here in France from Kellogg's 'fruits rouges':)

It's a pink, pink world that we're living in... and don't you love it? Happy PS to you, Linnea.

I want to know what kind of latte you are (I have a test on my blog) and also what color. I'm fascinated that so many of our Blue Monday people aren't cool colors but warm color types. But I still love my blue even though I supposedly color my world with warm color!

XO,

Sheila :-)

I like colors of pink and mauve. I don't have a lot of either of them in my house...but I sure could very easily. I love the little doll. Thanks. Have a great Saturday. And Sunday.

Great flower photos. I am tackling pics myself, very challenging in New England, which to a converted Southerner, is always dark! You did so well. Happy Pink Saturday!

Claudia said...

Your scrambling paid off! You found lots of pink! Happy Pink Saturday!
