My Sweet Pink Prize is Here!! And a Christmas Memory.

Look at the beautiful ornaments I won!!

Mary, at Rose Brook Cottage made them.

Thank you Mary.
They are sooo beautiful!
(the picture does not do them justice at all!!)

(now if i can just keep my 3 granddaughters from making off with them!)

Beverly, Think this will be my newest favorite ornament!!
Thanks for hosting. =0))


Here are just a few more sweet and simple pinks for you.

A bookmark my Mom makes.
A vintage kleenex holder.

and some sweet vintage greeting cards.

Thought we were supposed to share a Christmas story again,
so since I already wrote it I'll leave it in.

I could not remember any more stories than the one I shared last week,

so I asked my Mom if she could remember any
of our Christmases from when we were young.

The only one she could remember was the year
she and Dad decided to charge our Christmas presents,
and buy everything on our lists!

Now you have to know, my parents rarely used a charge card.
If they could not afford to pay cash for something,
they did not buy it till they could.
When they did use it, they paid it off right away.

Anyway, Mom said they spent $200!
That was a lot of money for a low income family 50 years ago.
(oh my gosh!!! 50 years ago. That makes me feel old!)

So they spent the $200, and got everything we wanted.

Christmas morning, we unwrapped all our presents.
Then we said," is that all??"

My mom said she felt like smackin' us!!!

End of story.

(well, except that I still do not remember getting everything on my list) =0)

Now, there must be a moral to the story somewhere.
Maybe, don't buy all the things your kids
want cause they won't appreciate it anyway?

And the good lesson is not to use your credit card
unless you can pay it off when the bill comes.

That's all I can think of.
What about you?

Happy Pink Christmas Candy Cane Saturday!!!
