Pink Saturday - November 7, 2009

Happy Pink Saturday!

This week we have one hundred fifty-eight (158) participants in Pink Saturday.  There are three 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.

Reminder - We have a weekly challenge for you to visit the blog of at least one participant that you have never visited before.  Then next Saturday include that blog and a link in your post.  Quite a few of you have been done 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 to tell you about the giveaway I am currently conducting.

Yes, you read it right.  I am having a giveaway.  What is the occasion you ask?

Well, there is no special reason other than that I thought of you.  My mother purchased these two dolls at an art show in Cocoa Beach, Florida in 1981.  They are very well made, and each is nineteen inches in length.  They are signed Mahleh and dated 1981.  They are so soft, and I think they are so sweet and pretty.  They have never been played with, and they have lived in a smoke-free home.  But, remember that they are not new.  They are twenty-eight years old.

My mother is slowly doing away with her doll collection, and like I said, when I saw this lovely couple I thought of you.

There are only a few requirements for this giveaway:

1. You must leave a comment on this post by midnight EST Wednesday, November 11.
2. You must already be a follower or sign up to be a follower of my blog.  Please leave me a way to identify you.  If the signature name you leave in your post does not match your follower name, I will not be able to identify you.  So leave a good breadcrumb trail. ♥

→You must click here to be eligible to win.  Comment when you click.←

Please check to be sure you a follower when you leave your comment by clicking on the link above.

That's easy enough, isn't it?  I'll draw a name and announce the winner in my post Thursday, November 12.

Good Morning, Beverly. Happy Pink Saturday! The dolls are really charming. The one on the right really makes me think of a schoolmarm from the 19th century, aka Laura Ingalls Wilder days. I, too, want to send my thanks to you for hosting this fun MEME. It gives me a topic to focus on and has encouraged me to write much more often on my blog. Plus it has given me the opportunity to meet so many wonderful, kind and generous bloggers. Your site has truly been a blessing. Take care!

[jeanne]

Hi Beverly, it looks like the dolls are a big hit. Rightfully so, as they are so cute.

We are getting ready to leave for Gainesville for the game. It starts at seven and we won't be home til midnight. These late games are a killer.

I am getting anxious to get home again. Picking up our puppy will be so much fun. Then the hard work of training begins.

Have a great Pink Saturday.

Love you, Jeanne

[Mimi]
