Pink Is The New Orange

Hello friends!

Now most of you know I have to order

both Halloween and Christmas items in January

for our Gift Store.

Perusing all of the wholesale catalogs along

with my gift shop magazine, I noticed

lots and lots of items in pink.

Little did I know back in January that the

Barbie movie would come out just before adding 

in my Fall and Halloween decor.

 

Am not a fan of pink,

but I need to attract everyone into the store,

which forces me to get me out of my comfort zone.

I even crocheted pink pumpkins.

.

I also created black pumpkins with pink noses.

Plus this pink ghost.

BOO

The candycorns were also done

 in white, pink and orange.

More orange and pink pumpkins.

Pink pumpkins with black noses.

I only did this small area of pink,

but it has been a hit.

Glad I forced myself to purchase

items in this color.

Did you add pink to your Halloween decor?

At home I did not.

Prim is not pink.

In other news,

today is my mom's birthday.

She is a young 89.

Am so thankful to still have her with us.

I spent the night with her last night.

I treated her to a birthday dinner and breakfast.

My dad died when I was 35,

30 years ago.

My mom was only 58 at the time.

She was never interested in meeting another man.

I took half a day off yesterday,

and she and I spent the afternoon travelling

around to all of the cemeteries where my

relatives are buried.

I am planning on taking on a big

challenge next year,

and I need all of my past relatives birthdates. 

More on that later on.

Bob's progress on our redo is coming along now.

He has one wall almost complete now.

This was a big undertaking that we decided to do...

and he is doing all of the work on the two days

off a week he has.

Pink Blessings To All!
