Pink Saturday - April 24, 2010

Happy Pink Saturday!

and

Exciting News

This week we have one hundred sixty-seven (167) participants in Pink Saturday.  There are six 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 is the exciting news that Pink Saturday is being featured in  the May/June/July 2010 issue of Artful Blogging.  I am so honored, and I hope you all are just as excited.  It is each of you that have made Pink Saturday special.  This issue is supposed to be available for purchase on news stands May first.  I always find my issue at Barnes and Noble.

The article is to honor the upcoming second birthday of Pink Saturday.  We will be celebrating our second birthday on Pink Saturday, May 29.  Start planning your birthday posts for fellowship and fun.  I hope you all will celebrate by posting on the special day.

You in Artful Blogging, one of those fabulous Somerset publications - what fun! Can't wait to read the article - you certainly deserve to be recognized for all the hard work and time you have put into Pink Saturday for two whole years. I'll be scouring the magazine racks for this one before I leave for Africa (May 12) in case they're all gone - snapped up by Pink Saturday gals - by the time I get back!!

Have a wonderful Pink Saturday and weekend.

[dana]

Congrats, Beverly, on a well deserved article of recognition! Pink Saturday is truly what life is about....the beauty of fellowship with friends and our surroundings. I, for one, certainly appreciate the "friends" and "travels" I have made over the last two years by participating in Pink Sat. Thank you for making it possible for us EVERY week....even when life throws you curve balls, you have always had the "event" up and running.

Happy Pink Saturday! L, Dana

[LaVoice]

I have had a lot of surprises this past week, but yours takes the cake. That is wonderful and I am so thrilled for you. You spend a lot of time making it easier for us to post Pink Saturday and it is truly appreciated. I will check out the article and look forward to May 29th. Best wishes special lady.

[carey]

Hi Bev,

I am so happy for you. It actually feels like we all are in the article. I can't want to see it. You deserve it so much. I know how hard you work to put together Pink Saturday each week. You are dedicated for sure. I have alway wanted to host a weeky party. Today on my post I discussed an idea I have - Art Appreciation Friday. Each friday you would be invited to post about a peice of art whether that be a painting masterfeice or one you made or perhaps a sculpture. Art means something different to everyone. What do you think?
Have a great day and congratulations.
Hugs,
Carey

[Penny @ The Comforts of Home and Lavender Hill Studio]
