Pink Saturday...

this week I want to share something that I make and put in my Christmas baskets...

I sold them last year...

I call them MATCHBOOK CANDIES..

this is the large version...

they come with 5 sticks of gum...

or one large flat candy bar...

like a hershey bar...

they are made out of card stock...

I use black and white for the base colors...

print off one of my collages and glue it on...

this is an arrangement on top of my desk...

made with left over parts from Christmases past...

and my pink tree in the kitchen...

Happy Pink Saturday!

Thanks, Beverly, for hosting the party!

a prayer request...

I have 3 this evening...

a family with 4 small children had a house fire north of here...

it started in the breezeway between the house and the garage while they were sleeping...

the dad woke and got the mom and a 4 and 6 year old out...

he went back to get the 1 and 2 year old, but couldn't get in before the roof collapsed...

there were 5-6 fire departments responding...

the last I heard, they were digging through the ashes for their bodies...

in another home fire...

a mother and infant daughter died...

and finally for me...

my uncle was sent home with hospice...

not sure how long...

he had a good day yesterday...

he was too weak to try chemo...

and they found it in more places...



another arrival...

another recent arrival is this berry wreath...

I couldn't find a place to put it...

so my son walked around and here is where it landed...

above the manger scene... 

and the angel watching over...

and it ties into the cheese box with candle sticks and berry picks and rusty stars...

so cool...

I'm looking around for pink now for Pink Saturday...
