Pink Saturday

pinksatbadge

Hello Pinkies and Welcome to my first Anniversary with Pink Saturday.

cupcake-posies-de

Big Thanks to Beverly @ How Sweet the Sound for starting this meme so we can all meet and enjoy Pink every week.

I have met so many lovely people in my first year blogging all thanks to Pink Saturday.

It started with one question. As I was looking on ebay for Easter goodies I came across some lovely felted creations by Laurie @ Charming Designs. I won one of her sweeties and in corresponding she asked me “Do you have a blog?” This got me thinking, usually a dangerous thing, and I had recently visited a friend’s blog and loved what she shared and how she shared it. Ginger @ bearbits is an amazing bear artist and has the super best imagination so I knew I would love her blog. I also can never have as cool a blog as Ginger but I can try!

Then I made a list of things to talk about found  blogger used my new identity  “pupylov “  I wrote a post from my list (only 2 on list have made it so far) and sent an email to all my list and waited. Laurie was so sweet and ran right over and started following and sent me emails on what else I should do. Pictures, and join a meme. She suggested Pink Saturday which I had seen when I visited Cathy’s site and so I got Beverly’s info, made a pink post and anxiously waited for the list to come up that morning to  started visiting.  I visited and had others visit me. This led me to my fairy blogmother Ann. She was so sweet and sent me emails offering help before I knew I needed it!  Ann was just the first in many of the best friends I never met! Well actually I have some local and have met a few! Still more to add I am at 250+ blogs I follow and 152 followers. I maxed out and had to move some store blogs to Google reader to make room!

Thank you, all of you old and new. I am a better person for sharing the last year with you and it just gets better. I would LOVE to list you all but if you go to my sidebar they are there. Everyone of them are priceless.

I am so glad to join for another year and look forward to the new friends I will meet each week at Pink Saturday!

Hugs, Lisa

  5. Hi Lisa! Happy Pink Anniversary! I found most of my readers through PS too. I have to ask, how do you use Google Reader? I have heard of it, but am a bit clueless.
    I think it's so wonderful we can find such wonderful friends online. Who knew when we started?! Happy Pink Saturday Lisa and have a terrific weekend!

  17. Lisa, We are the lucky ones to have YOU in our world. Happy Blogaversery! Cute pin cushion you showed at the end of this post!!!!!!! I read about your time at the book store. I am looking for a new author. Which book did you like the best Garden Spells or Sugar Queen? I want to start with one & see if I like the author. If you read a lot have you checked out Jane's site where they get together & read a book & then cook from it? Check out http://foodforthoughtediblebooks.blogspot.com/
    I think you might like it. I have turned a couple of other girls on to it that LOVE it. Please be sure to tell her I sent you. Have a wonderful weekend. HUGS! Charlene
