I can hardly wait to see

 

all of your posts today.

Welcome to Pink Saturday.  Please join us by linking your Pink Saturday post permalink using the linking tool provided at the bottom of this post.  This is our second week using the linking tool instead of having a list from e-mail responses.  I think this is going to be a fantastic change for all of us.  I will have my Pink Saturday post available at 5 p.m. EST every Friday.  So, be sure to link and show us your Pink.  Be certain to link using your pink post permalink.  And please remember to include a link back to my blog within your post so that your visitors will be able to visit here.

 

 

 

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.

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.

This week I am featuring the blog of a Pink Saturday participant.  This Pink Saturday participant has requested to be a featured blog, and there will be featured blogs each Saturday.  Please visit, get to know and say hello to her.  She has written the following personal greeting to you.

Hello Pink Ladies, it has been a wonderful year getting to know you all.  I have always been most excited when I hear from Pink Ladies as this is the linky that I look most forward to.  There is no denying that there is a special bond we all share given that we all LOVE PINK and like Beverly says, it represents HOPE JOY and LOVE.  I love to craft and make things for people I love.  As a matter of fact, I am having a spacial giveaway that includes a Pink bracelet hand made by me.  I hope that you come visit and join in on this fun giveaway.  Thank you all for the Pinks you have posted that have brought smiles to my Saturdays.  I wish you all the best, happy Holidays and a friendly hug.

We have just about finished decorating for the holidays.  We just have to finish decorating the tree, and we will have it all completed.  It is definitely looking like Christmas in our home.

My pink contribution for this Pink Saturday is Oyster Stew.  Ooh, yum!  I love, love, love Oyster Stew.  I like mine with oyster cracker soaking up all of the yumminess.  We have been having Oyster Stew as far back as I can remember.  My parents always prepared and served this, and we do, too.  This is a favorite with all of us, and it is something we definitely have during the holiday season.

 

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 12 ounces fresh raw oysters, undrained
• 1 quart half-and-half or whole milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• Crackers, for serving

Melt butter in pot, and add remaining ingredients. Cook over low heat until edges of oysters begin to curl and mixture is hot but not boiling. Serve stew with crackers.

Enjoy!
