Pink Saturday - September 26, 2009

Happy Pink Saturday!

Did you take me up on this challenge?

This week I would like to offer each of you a simple challenge.  Visit at least one blog that you have never visited before.  Then next Saturday include that blog and a link in your post.  We all do this on occasion.  Quite a few of you have been accepting this challenge, and have met some of the great Pink Saturday participants.  Thank you for sharing with us.
****************************

My pink contribution for this Pink Saturday is this puzzle.  I chose an easy puzzle today, so come play along.  My time was 2:47.

This week we have one hundred fifty-nine (159) participants in Pink Saturday.  There are seven new participants, and you will find them at the bottom of the list.  Let's all take time to welcome them to Pink Saturday.  All participants are listed in the order in which they began participating.

Please take the time to visit other participants, and leave a comment to let them know you stopped by to enjoy their pink.  Pink Saturday is about having fun, and giving us a chance to meet others in the blogging community.  I promise you it is worth the effort because you will not only see lots of pink, you will meet incredibly nice and talented people.  Please refer to my post dated January 8 for more information about Pink Saturday.

Remember that my reminder e-mail stated I needed your plan for participating today no later than 8 a.m. EST Friday.  If you don't see your name and link here it is because I did not receive your plan for participating by that time.

I want to thank those of you that take the time to leave me a comment.  I love reading what you all have to say.  I do have a working computer again, but I am still trying to get everything installed.  Thank you for your patience while I was (and still am partially) out of commission.

Hi Beverly,

Im back again. Happy Pink Saturday and what a lovely pink puzzle.

[dana]

good morning, Beverly! It's a very early 5:22 here in MO as I type this to you. I'm heading out the door for the last day of our 3 day tag sale. It was great the first two days....sales and weather. BUT, it's raining this morning. It's a good thing we have tents set up!

I look forward to having time to sit down and work on your pink thistle puzzle challenge!! Don't know when that will be. When I get home this evening, my son, DIL and grands will be here! They're even gonna spend the night, so I'll be busy playing with small children tomorrow! :) THEN I have to pack up the stuff at Bonnie's and put it all away! Whew, what work. Don't know if it's worth it or not, but it's fun and good exercise!

Have a great Pink Sat.!!!! L, Dana

[Terry]

Hi Beverly.
Thank you so much for hosting pink Saturday. It has got to be a lot of work....especially when your computer is acting up. Glad to hear it is up and running.

Nice pink puzzle.

[Sally]

I am so pinkless today; however, you can visit one of my other posts if you find time.

[Sarah]

Happy Pink Saturday, sweet friend! Enjoyed your pink puzzle. Always fun to play with your puzzles, though I'm not as quick as you. :-) Thanks for adding the QCI link. Hope you enjoy seeing a bit of Pink Quimper and More. ~ All the best for a great weekend. ~ Sarah

[Happily Retired Gal]

Beverly
I love the delicate pink blossoms in your puzzle ... intriguing effect ;--)

Alas, I missed the Friday deadline to be included in the link list ... but when Elizabeth left me a comment last night that she was mentioning Happily Retired Gal in her Pink Saturday post, I managed to pull myself together, stay at the computer longer than planned, and create a 'quickie' pink post (that I've amended this morning) ... so I'm unofficially playing after all.

Hmmm ... in previewing my comment, it appears the LINKS I left above won't work ... so you can find Elizabeth at http://ebogie.blogspot.com/ and me by clicking on Happily Retired Gal below.

I'll be gone all morning but hope to visit as many of you as possible when I return this afternoon. Happy weekend to all!
Hugs and blessings,

[bj]

I've not got to visit as much as I've wanted to, either. I missed your question on Wed...I like 2 and a half Men and never miss a show...what I can't see, we record and watch later.
Have a good week!
xo bj

[Mariela]

I try to visit new blogs and also visit regular ones...

~ Gabriela ~

[LaVoice]

Glad you got your computer issues worked out. It would not have been a good day without Pink Saturday. I still do not know how you do it all. Thanks. Your puzzle for today is a pretty one, but not sure if I can do it.

[liz]

My puzzle skills aren't very good. The one I tried last week took me nearly 16 minutes!!!! I'll try this one later.

Happy Pink Saturday :)

[Nancy]

Hi Beverly - I'll have to give that pink puzzle a try. I absolutely love your new blog header - just beautiful. xoxo Nancy

[Suzie Button]

I wish I were better at these puzzles, Beverly! I just don't do well seeing the tiniest details that make one good at putting together puzzles! I hope you have a wonderful PS! Suzie

[Connie]

Happy Pink Saturday, sugar! I tried the puzzle and flubbed up royally. It wasn't minutes; it was HOURS! Just no good at puzzles I guess.
xoxo,

I am horrible at puzzles, so while I will try I won't share my time- too embarrassing usually! I LOVE your fall touches to your header. Gorgeous.

[GWEN]

I am so happy to be part of PINK SATURDAY! I am enjoying it so much, so many pretty pink posts out there! I am following you and have a link to you on my page.
Blessings!

Happy Pink Saturdy!

[mary]

HPS Beverly!! Another puzzle- I was working on Fridays and I think I was too tired (well that's the excuse I'm giving!) as I just had to quit after 3 minutes and not much of it completed. I do like a challenge though and will be back to finish both of these!!

blessings
mary

[karen cox]

Happy Pink Saturday Bev. Puzzles, I am totally lost when it comes to puzzles. Once I knocked on over (it was one of those wooden ones that stand up and nest perfectly together) in a toy store. It was recommended for children over five. I couldn't put the thing back together for the life of me. I don't know, sometimes I think that organizational piece of the brain was overshadowed with other things.

Have a lovely weekend, Bev.

Karen

[darnold23]

Just wanted you to know that I am already working on next week's Pink Saturday post! I can't believe I am actually planning ahead this week. Thanks so much for hosting this fun event.

Happy Pink Sat. I'm not too late hurray.

[Elena]

I love these puzzles Beverly. My first go is always so slow - but I keep trying until I get the time down, lol.

Most PS participants may not get to see message from me but my apologies to anyone who has been trying to get onto my blog. My web site has been down all day today (my blog is hosted on my domain). I haven't been able to contact my host site because they're down too. I don't know what's wrong but hope everything will be back to normal soon.

Happy Pink Saturday to everyone.

ciao for now,
Elena :)

Good morning sweet Beverly, I don't know anyone that doesn't love a puzzle, and pink no less, just so lovely. I haven't done it yet, but plan on trying and seeing what time I get. Lots of fun.......Happy Pink Saturday to you, please forgive my tardiness. I will be gone for sign ups next week, but do want to participate, so if it's not too much trouble, could I please sign up now. Thanks so much for all you do for us and the Pink Saturday group. I know it takes a lot of time, but we sure do enjoy it, Char

[Queen of Dreamsz at dream kingdom]

Hello Beverly,

I, too, feel you pain with Vista! It can be a real headache at times..I'll be upgrading to Windows 7 and hoping a bunch of the bugs have been resolved. And the worst part is I have a lot of older software that I still like to use that will not load under Vista.

[Terri Moore]

I got sick over the weekend so I am still trying to catch up on leaving comments. Cute pink puzzle. Hope you had a great Pink Saturday. So glad to hear you liked my bag too!

[Vickie]

Happy Pink Saturday, thanks for stopping by. Love your Autumn header.
Thanks for putting and keeping this PS altogether!

[Tracy Suzanne]

Hi Beverly. I love your puzzles. I used to go to a site and do this and it gets really addictive. I'd like to add this feature to my blog but wouldn't want to do so without asking you first. I don't want to steal your idea. I'll understand if you prefer to keep it to yourself. Thanks....Tracy
