• BJ at Sweet Nothings

 

  Hi, all,

My name is BJ and I live over at Sweet Nothings.

I, first of all, wish to thank you, Beverly, for all the wonderfulness of PINK SATURDAY.  It has become a FUN "way of life" for so many of us.  YOU are such a JOY to all of us and we thank you for all your hard work and time.

My blog is about JUST PLAIN LIVING. There is not a fancy thing in my cottage and I LIVE for thrifting. It's my very favorite hobby.

Please come by anytime and be sure to let me know so that I can repay the visit.

The merriest Christmas to all..and may your days be filled with JOY.

****************************

Next week Pink Saturday is on Christmas Day.  Our theme for next week is to share what you will be doing Christmas Day.  Remember, you can link to my post any time between 5 p.m. EST Friday and midnight Sunday.

I wish each of you a blessed holiday season filled with love and joy.

My pink contribution for this Pink Saturday is sharing my favorite holiday music, and I had a hard time with this.  Why?  Because I love it all.  But, I did narrow it down to two favorites.  I hope you enjoy them, too.

What Child Is This by Charlotte Church

I love this song,

and I think Charlotte Church has the voice of an angel.

 
Merry Christmas Darling by The Carpenters

This song makes me think of my sweet husband.

I love your music..in fact, I can't think of a single Christmas song that I don't care for. :))

[Claudie]

Well hello Miss Beverly. I'm here. It's been a while I know, but there are so many girls to visit lately, I feel I need to visit them all, and I just can't do it. I think I can manage what we have tonight though. Thank you for being such a wonderful hostess.
LOVE Charlotte Church. My, how grown up is she? And Karen Carpenter, well she was the best.
Merry Christmas dear Beverly. May your Christmas be filled with family and friends and good cheer.
Love You
Love Me
xoxoxoxo

[dana]

You shared two wonderful songs....I love both of them, too. Charlotte Church has such a beautiful voice....and I still miss Karen Carpenter. :(

Thanks for all you do for our Pink Saturday group....I too love your featured blogger. BJ was one of the first bloggers I met via cyberspace. She is a bundle of fun and inspiration!!

Happy Pink Saturday.

L, Dana

PS Had a fun packed and fabulous day...it was worth all of the work!

[Grace P]

Yay I posted easily this time! lol No warning necessary...Thank you Beverly for another fabulous Pink Saturday. I could not post music for some reason on my blog. Grace xoxoxo PS Happy Pink Saturday.

[Lynn @thevintagenest]

Merry Pink Saturday before Christmas Saturday Beverly. Love your choice of songs....so pretty. I have had Christmas carols playing all day as I wrapped the final gifts to carry on our trip with me. It was a nice day. :) xoxo

[Pat ~ Mille Fiori Favoriti]

Hi Beverly! My favorite Christmas song is "Silent Night," followed by "O Holy Night." I love Charlotte Church's voice in your selection. Poor Karen Carpenter... she alos had such a wonderful voice. She died much too young.

I was in the city all day today ..my feel are killing me from walking miles...lol! ♥ Pat

[karen cox]

Hi Bev,
I love Charlotte Church too, and Karen Carpenter was always a favorite. I'm off to Vermont to visit my mom in between the snowflakes. Had to post my Pink Saturday before I got on the road. Happy weekend, and Happy Pink Saturday,

Karen

[LaVoice]

Thank you for taking the time for a visit. You always come up with such great videos of some my favorite tunes as well. I do not know how to do that, but enjoy what others share. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you and family nothing but the best during the holidays. May you be blessed with good health for the New Year. You picked one of the best when you selected BJ.

[Mary Beth]

Thanks so very much for hosting! I enjoyed your music!

[Niki]

Both great singers. Karen Carpenter songs always remind me of trips with my parents. They had met the Carpenters & were big fans. If you like Charlotte Church, there is a new wonder that you should check out (if you didn't know already) her name is Jackie Evancho. She is a wonder. Check her out on You Tube, you will be blown away. Thank you for another week of fun!
Licks & Wags, Niki

[glenda]

Hello there...I just wanted to say I did a post for Pink Saturday. And I can't find a McLinky over here...Thanks for sharing and giving us this opportunity...but I can't seem to break in...

[Donnie]

Such beautiful music Beverly and BJ is one of the sweetest people and is perfect to be your featured blogger. Have a precious Pink Saturday.

[Sarah]

Merry Christmas, Beverly. Like you, it's difficult to narrow the Christmas music down to a favorite. Both of these are beautiful. I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas . . . ~ Sarah

[shirl]

Hello Beverly, Love your post this week, Karen Carpenter is my second favorite Christmas Album. I love their Christmas Album. I need to get it in a CD. Have a great week!

Love your profile of BJ! That girl is an absolute hoot and I am always tickled to visit her. Your musicals are excellent. I went with a lengthy version of my all time favorite Christmas piece. Come see me soon. Hugs Anne

[Jeanne]

Hi Beverly, I am going to bed but I wanted to leave you a comment first. I do love both of theses beautiful songs too. It was hard to pick one. Karen Carpenter was an awesome singer. She died way too young.

Merry Christmas Wishes to you and yours.
Love always, Jeanne

[Susan Freeman]

I wrote my post not knowing that you were going to feature a Christmas Carol by Charlotte Church too. Oh Holy Night is my favorite Carol and no one can perform it better than Charlotte. I agree with you ~ she truly has the voice of an angel.

Love,
Susan and Bentley

Merry Christmas Beverly! Jacqueline

[Susie Jefferson]

A lovely post, and a great choice of music! Makes me feel so nostalgic. It was so hard to choose my favourites this time - must run into hundreds! So I put up a Mixpod thing with as many as I could remember off the top of my head (only plays if you click on it, so it doesn't slow the blog down when loading) and another background set - a snowy one this time. It's a blizzard here, as I type (10.29am Saturday morning) so everywhere is looking just like the photos in the background! Happy Pink Saturday, Beverly dear... it's getting exciting now Christmas is just round the corner!

[Jorgelina]

Happy pink saturday!
Hugs

[Coralie Cederna Johnson]

Karen Carpenter was such a lovely young woman and her voice was like an angel's! My favorite Christmas sounds are the Christmas Carols of old such as SILENT NIGHT, THE FIRST NOEL, and many others. Nothing compares for me!
A happy Pink Day to all!
Coralie

[Natasha]

How wonderful to hear these beautiful Christmas songs! I am so excited.

I am linking up late as we have only just returned from a week's holiday in Hong Kong. We had a fabulous time but I am so behind in my Christmas shopping and planning now!

Best wishes and thanks for having me this very special Pink Saturday.
Natasha.

Merry Christmas to you and yours,

Beverly,
Thanks for stopping by. Pink Saturday is a favorite. I love the new linking system and I am pleased that one can post at 5pm the night before. I am usually not on the computer after dinner.

[Jenny Sellars]

So fun!! Ms Church does have such a beautiful voice!

Happy Pink Saturday Beverly! Your music choices are wonderful. Both Karen and Charlotte have the voice of angels. Thank you so much for hosting this each week...I have had so much fun! I LOVE the themes at Christmas time. Merry Christmas to you and your family...hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

Beverly! Happy Holidays and thank you so much for hosting Pink Saturday!

[Liz @ the Brambleberry Cottage]

Thanks for hosting the party, Bev. I, too, think Charlotte Church sings like an angel. I love listening to Christmas music (all year long — much to the chagrin of my hubby), and especially when sung by someone with such an incredibly beautiful voice.

Please be sure to come by and enter my fantastic year-end giveaway. Click the picture in my sidebar for details.

Blessings and a very Merry Christmas!

Hi Beverly,
I almost totally forgot to link up my post! Brain lapse. :) I love Charlotte Church's voice, too - it is absolutely beautiful.

[Lulus Lovlies]

[Marie @ Sally Lee by the Sea]

Dear Beverly ~ just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you so much for hosting Pink Saturday. I look forward to Saturdays and have found the people that participate are kindhearted, active and happy.

Sally Lee by the Sea wishes you and yours a VERY Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Hugs.

[Anne]

Happy Pink Saturday and Happy Holidays! Just discovered your blog and this party, love it! and am going to join the weekly challenge of visiting and commenting on other blogs. I've added a wonderful video of Jon Bon Jovi singing Blue Christmas to the party, its a great holiday song!

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

Beautiful choices Beverly....I love Charlotte Church too...

[Kimmi aka The MAD White Woman (TMWW)]

Hello everyone! I am a new Pink Saturday-er and today was my first Pink Saturday post. I absolutely LOVE listening to Christmas music! I could never remember any of the nursery songs that my mom sang to me when I was a child, so I used to rock my children to sleep every night singing "Silent Night." Sssh, they don't know that - but they all know the words to the song and have no idea why LOL!!!!

I went to Playlist.com and made a playlist of a few of my favorite holiday songs - old and new. Unfortunately, they had none of my favorite artist's songs available (Amy Grant - A Christmas Album). I really really wish I could share her music with you! She is an amazing songstress!!! I hope you enjoy some of my favorite songs and enjoy popping around the blog and "meeting" me! I am off to visit with the rest of you!

[Marsha]

Happy Pink Saturday!!! I had to go out and buy something to show today, LOL

xxoo

[kayellen]

So many pretty things to peek at on this beautiful Pink Saturday!

Christmas Blessings to you and your family sweet Beverly!!

[Christine]

Oh I love Karen Carpenter. I love all her songs! Merry Christmas Beverly!...Christine

[Sue]

I'm like you...picking just one was really difficult! I'm glad you picked two...I love them both and especially nice to hear a Karen Carpenter song. It's been along time since I thought of the Carpenters...they were such a neat brother and sister team. Merry Merry Christmas, Beverly!

[Nancy]

Hi Beverly - Took my time going back through your posts to see some of your Christmas decor. What a lovely mantle - everything looks beautiful. Those are wonderful Christmas songs - I'm loving visiting the blogs listening to music. I'll spend part of Christmas Day visiting some of the ones I don't get to. Sending you blessings across the miles - may you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. xoxo Nancy

[Terry]

Howdy Beverly
Blessings of pink happiness to you today .
I just had to ride over to wish you a very Merry Christmas before I got run over by one of those crazy holiday semi trailer truckers out on the highway :)
Seriously thank you for your time and talent that you share so joy fully here in blogland.
May the coming new year be filled to over flowing with the best of the best for you and yours .
Take care now .
Until next time
Happy Trails

All linked up for your delightful Pink Saturday, Beverly! Thanks for hosting and for going the route of the 'linky' - - it is so much easier to find and read other posts this way! I hope that you're having a beautiful Christmas season!

Ciao, Roz

[Queen of Dreamsz]

Hi Beverly,

I so wish I could stream videos
without them freezing up! One of
the trade offs of coming to the
mountains...no super high speed
internet on this ridge..LOL
I use the 3G wireless modem from
Verizon Wireless for my internet
so I've had to adjust to things
that I just can't do anymore. boo hoo!

BUT...4G technology is here but only
in the large metro areas. We are supposed
to have it by late next year. YAY!! I'll
bet I can enjoy videos again when I get it.

I wish you a magical and blessed
Merry Christmas!

Merry Merry,
Stephanie ♥

[Cailin Yates]

Charlotte Church is simply amazing. My husband likes the Carpenters, he was saying the other day that as many Christmas Albums as there ar out there, the Carpenters stay his favorite.
Wishing you a wonderful week and a very Merry Christmas!

[Christine]

Happy Pink Saturday, Beverly! This is a wonderful roundup! Thanks for hosting. Merry Christmas!

[Leann]

You're right it's so very hard to pick just one.

Merry Christmas my sweet friend!

[Christi at A Southern Life]

Love your pics. Karen Carpenter's Merry Christmas Darling is a favorite here as well. Thanks for hosting!
