Pink Christmas Project and a Tag...

Last week, for "Blue Monday," hosted by Sally at Smiling Sally, I did a post on Ribbon Frames I made for Christmas gifts, featuring the blue ribboned ones. Today I will share the frames with PINK accents, for PINK SATURDAY.

For more PINK enjoyment, please visit Beverly, at How Sweet the Sound!

And while I was working on this project, I sampled some of the candy from this cute Christmas tree, a gift from Aunt Bo and Uncle Allen....FIVE stackable boxes filled with candy and chocolates. ...the GOOD chocolates! "big smiles!"

...and before I knew it, I'd finished off this PINK bag of Almond Rocha! Delicious!

I've Been Tagged...

Kymber, at A New Day Dawning, tagged me to share 6 random things about myself. I decided to share a few personal Christmas facts. The rules of the tag were to challenge others to participate. Since this is such a busy time of the year, I won't extend it to any certain bloggers! But if you would like to join in, please do!

Rhonda's Random CHRISTMAS LIST of Facts....

1. Oh where to start....I don't re-gift. Oh yes, I have gotten gifts through the years, that I replied upon receiving with a huge toothy grin, "I just LOOOVE it!" Giving a dramatic performance worthy of an Academy Award. We've all gotten them, and although I try to give thoughtful and person-appropriate gifts, I'm sure that I have given some that weren't "loved," as well! But, I just have a thing about re-gifting, seems so unappreciative, so I donate them to a charity-run thrift store instead! :)

2. Speaking of unappreciated gifts, my dad is very hard to buy for. One of the first gifts I ever bought him on my own, was a pair of bedroom shoes. He never wore bedroom shoes, but I always assumed it was just because he didn't have any. So, I bought him a pair...navy blue corduroy. On Christmas morning, he seemed to like them, but as the months rolled along, he never took them out of the box. Out of meanness, ...yea, that streak comes out occasionally, I wrapped them back up and gave them to him again the next Christmas. I did this 3 years in a row, until I finally let it go!

3. My favorite childhood Christmas gift was a dollhouse complete with furniture. I had no idea that I was getting one that year, until I woke up at 2 in the morning to scope out my gifts. I played with it awhile before crawling back into bed, and then the next morning, pretended to be so excited, which I was, and surprised....another well-earned Academy Award! :) I decorated and redecorated...and tweaked that dollhouse for many years! I loved it!

4. I found out I was pregnant with my first child, Ashley, a couple of days after Christmas. I was very sick, and by New Year's Day, I realized it was NOT the flu.

5. David was destined to be a Christmas baby. Well, expected on the 16th, close enough! But he was born early. Between Kevin and I, we have 7 family members that were born in December. (Not all living.) My great-grandmother and a cousin were born ON Christmas Day. As a child, I felt quite sorry for them, because they got Christmas and Birthday gifts in one; nothing to look forward to the rest of the year.

6. I love to shop! And I am very good at it! My level of skill comes from diligent and dedicated practice! But I do most of my Christmas shopping online! Who can beat shopping without brushing one's hair, ...or teeth, in PJ's, Free Shipping, and No Crowds...what's not to love! :)
