Happy Pink Saturday
and
Happy Mother's Day
Welcome to Pink Saturday. I hope you link and join in the fun. Please join us by linking your Pink Saturday post permalink using the linking tool provided at the bottom of this post. I will have my Pink Saturday post available at 3 p.m. EST every Friday. Please note that I have changed the linking time to being at 3 p.m. instead of 5 p.m. I have been told this would be helpful to many of you. 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.
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 Cindy at Whimsical Musings. Cindy recently began participating in Pink Saturday, and she is one of the many special people that always share something wonderful. Cindy is an amazingly talented artist. The pink birdhouse and the tag shown below were gifted to me by her, and they are beautiful. Cindy has a keen eye and gifted hand when it comes to creating beauty. Please click over to visit, and leave her a comment so she can meet you. Cindy, thank you for sharing your world with us, and for all you do to make Pink Saturday special.
Take a minute to go meet Cindy, and please introduce yourself.
You'll be glad you did. Following is Cindy's bio.
- Cindy at Whimsical Musings
Cindy Adkins is a New Orleans-based gallery artist known for her extensive mixed media work. “I love working with texture, whether it is with vintage images, soy silk, layered paper, fibers, or embroidery. Every day presents an opportunity to incorporate new materials and that adds to the excitement of this process.”
Adkins is a published artist and holds a Master’s Degree in Humanities. She feels that her background in this field gives her a broader outlook that she brings to her own work. “Often, those aspects of classic and modern art, music, and literature are encapsulated in various pieces and it is always with a touch of whimsy.”
Following Hurricane Katrina, Adkins gained attention for her 6-month project that is a tribute to the people of the New Orleans area who have gone through the recovery process. “The survivors have risen from the ashes and I wanted to make individual pieces to honor their resilience and celebrate the human spirit. Displayed publicly, it is my gift to the community to help in the healing process.” Now, Adkins’ carefully handcrafted as well as digital art is available to people everywhere.
“Through my art, I create pieces that I want people to look at time and again, in each instance, noticing something new. That is the joy of creating as each piece contains a message. I always say that the art process is like giving birth--there is a part of me in each one.”
