FEATURE ME PINK!

                   My friend Suzy told me to check out the world of blogging more than three years ago. It took me exactly one nanosecond to realize that this was a great creative outlet and a wonderful challenge. I did not know if it was possible to come up with something interesting to write at all, never mind doing it on a regular schedule. By the numbers, this is my 387th post...and almost  200,000 kind souls have stopped by to see what is going on here. There have been almost 5000 comments left on this blog...I find this all very awesome! What amazed me the most though, was the realization that there were more than 80 posts dedicated to Pink Saturday.
Maybe, a toast is in order here...or maybe,

I should deliver some pretty pink flowers to our hostess Beverly.....she really did have a brilliant idea. The fact of the matter is that  what ever I do on this blog during the rest of the week, on Saturdays I am reminded to think pink, and in doing so, I find it impossible to forget that pink is the color of cancer awareness..it is a color of hope. It is a weekly reminder (not that we need to be reminded) to say a prayer in the hope that a cure will be found and to remember how many lives have been lost while waiting for this miracle to happen. Pink also reminds me to be grateful for how far we have come. October is breast cancer awareness month... so please remember to do your monthly self exam.

When I signed on to write a pink post every week, I thought that would not be so difficult, after all, pink is featured all year round in the garden, so finding pink flowers really is a cinch. I also always knew that pink was a perfect color for little girls and that I would have no trouble finding pink this and that all around the house. 

My attraction to pink really is endless. So cheers to another Pink Saturday and thank you to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for this remarkable concept...I always know that even if I am challenged to find something interesting to write about, I can always think pink.

♥, Susan

I agree with you....blogging has opened up a whole new world! I had to step back, however, cuz I was loving it too much.....it's so easy to spend hours visiting all of the wonderful folks who do have blogs!!! Like YOU! I know we are kindred spirits....I have the same set of Pyrex Pink bowls. They belonged to my mom.....and I use them!!

Have a great Pink Sat!! dana

It was fun reading about you at Beverly's blog this morning, so I thought I would pop by and say hello. This is my first visit to your blog.

Your pink iris is gorgeous!!! I used to think of iris as being only purple, but I've discovered they come in a kaleidescope of colors.

And, I love your mixing bowls. I have a set of 4 vintage bowls like that...but they're not pink like yours. They are yellow, green, red, and blue.

Anyhow, have a lovely day,

I love the pink iris, those are gorgeous. Of course the vintage mixing bowls are special and remind me of simplier times as a child.
Happy Pink Saturday to you and yours. Congratulations on being featured this week, Char

Hi, This is my first visit to your blog and your pink flowers are beautiful and your iris is out of this world. Thanks so much for sharing, your pink bowls are great and a real blast form the past as I remember my Mother-in- law having them! Happy Pink Saturday to you! Marilou, Lulus Lovlies

Happy Featured Pink Saturday, Susan! Congratulations on the Amazing Numbers of your Lovely Blog. The Pink Iris Photo is beautiful and we all know how Beverly loves Pink Florals! Great post!

Hi, Susan!

Love your pinks and love the fact that you are headed toward a milestone post. Way to go! I'm so glad that we met through blogging.

I also want to thank you for the prayers for my husband. He's so much better, and my nursing duties are at an end. I plan to be blogging again in a week or so, and I look forward to it. I have to play catchup with all the things on the back burner first.

Sending you warm hugs for a happy weekend ahead...

XO,

Sheila :-)

Hi Susan, how terrific to be featured on Pink Saturday. I too love to join in on Pink Saturday. It is a lovely way to meet new bloggers and to just have fun with the color pink. I feel the same way about blogging. It has been the most delightful challenge and I admit I am surprised at how much it means to me. My blogging friends are very dear and I can't imagine not blogging.

This pink connection is so meaningful for breast cancer awareness. I have joined the fight all year long but especially in October.
Smile.

Have a wonderful weekend.
Hugs, Jeanne

Congrats on your stats. Who do you use to keep track of your stats? I've been looking around and can't settle on one. Any suggestions? I've had my blog for 2 years now and I'm not stat savy yet.

Typepad lists the stats continuously. Funny, I didnt even know what it was about for the first two years of my blog and one day I just clicked on stats and was so surprised that anyone other than my friends and family was reading my blog. It was a mini-thrill :)

[Sherrie]

It is nice to think Pink and what it represents. Good for Beverly that she has this party. By the way I love those pink mixing bowls. Gorgeous. Hope that you had a lovely PS.

Wonderful post Susan! I miss participating in PS every week as I often am busy and computer free on weekends, so I would feel bad not answering pink e-mails. As winter approaches I hope to participate more. You always do such a nice job on your pink posts!
♥ Pat

What a beautiful iris. I love pink too, probably purple more, but they are sisters! Thanks for your sweet comments. It was a little out there showing myself in my crazy pink witch costume but hey, what the heck! Have a wonderful Saturday. My Saturday just ended great as BYU just won their football game.

[Beverly]

This is a very belated wish for Happy Pink Saturday. I hope you enjoyed being one of the featured participants.

Pink has become the color of hope. I pray daily that cures will be found for all cancers.

I am drooling over that set of bowls.♥

I love the concept of Pink Saturdays! This is a cheerful thing to do each Saturday. I certainly would not have any difficulty finding pink "things" around my home each week. Very fun!
