I know it's Friday but I am posting a little early for Beverly's Pink Saturday. I just couldn't wait to show you the wonderful package that came in the mail today. Kathy at Shocking Pink Thread had a giveaway on her blog a few weeks ago and I won. I'm embarrassed to say that I forgot.
So today when a package arrived I couldn't remember what I might have ordered from Vermont. I've been shopping on Etsy, Lollishops and Amazon buying Christmas presents for my family.
But, I opened the box and inside was an adorable card and packages from Kathy. She told me that she was making me one of her rag dolls! How could I forget that?! It is absolutely adorable. She's dressed in a green and pink rose print dress and pink striped pants! I love her. I put her in my Christmas tree for now.
You can get your own cute doll in Kathy's etsy shop Kathy also sent me some vintage ornaments, a pretty Christmas corsage and a stack of fabric. How fun, how fun!! Thank you so much Kathy!!
I have to tell you about another Kathy too. Kathy has a boutique called Catnip Cottage. I bought some of her gorgeous earrings from her shop on Lollishops. I can't show you the ones that I bought but these pink cotton candy earrings are just as pretty. Go visit her Lollishop. She has beautiful, unique gifts and she is a sweetheart.
I want to wish Beverly and all of my pink friends a very, merry and Pink Christmas!! Thank you so much for the birthday wishes this week. I've decided that I'll spend my 49th year getting myself in shape so I can usher in my 50th year "in the pink".
This is just the sweetest surprise! Thank you for featuring my LolliShop, Catnip Studio!

Christmas 2008 starts great with a package like that! Those earrings are gorgeous too. Good idea to get in better shape, I might join you, we'll look like 32 this time next year! (in stead of 35!). Have a great weekend!

Hi Betty:
Well, I finally wrote my first post and I am excited about it. Like I am on a new adventure again : )
Thank you for the assistance you gave to Mary and me this week.
I still have to figure how to do my sidebars and how to name my photo albums but little by little I am sure I will figure it out : )
Love those pink earrings!!!
Take care
