Beverly at How Sweet the Sound hosts Pink Saturday. Stop by her Place to see the many other Pretty Pink items that Precious Pink Participating People are Putting on display.My offering today is a Pink ornament that I made over thirty years ago. My fingers still hurt from pushing all of those tiny straight pins into the styrofoam ball. I made several similar ornaments that year in different colors. I cherish each one still. My tree is not yet decorated, but I hung this special ornament so that you could see it as it is meant to be seen.
I will be out and about today, but I Promise to get back to everyone in the next day or two. I wish you a Happy Pink Saturday. Remember to check out my sidebar for book giveaways!

Your ornament is beautiful Sally. I made a few of them myself...small ones many many years ago and still hang them on our tree. I remember the sore fingers from pushing all those pins in the foal ball.
I've yet to participate in Pink Saturday but may have to do that.
Have a great weekend!
LOVE your pink ornament. It is so pretty! Have a great day!
Sally that's very, very pretty! I remember making ornament like that when I was young. I guess it was the thing to do at the time. :) I love all the memories that come flooding back when I hang ornaments that I've made.
take care,
Dawn

Such a pretty ornament and so time consuming to make. I would cherish it as well.
Ooops, I came to pink Saturday and got distracted by book reviews! : D I love the ornament, sorry to hear your fingers have been hurting for 30 years but it was worth it, right?
I made 3 of those many years ago and like you, my fingers haven't been the same since!
You did a good job. That is a pretty ornament.
Hi Sally, that's a very pretty ornament. You did a great job--quite a lot of work in just one!
Happy Pink Saturday Sally! I can't believe that ornament is homemade (but that's what makes it so special)- it's so pretty! ~ Robyn
I, too, made some of those type of balls; only I think it was 40 years ago. I remember my sore fingers. My daughter has them on her tree now. Sally
Great ornament! Homemade ones are just the best! Happy Pink Saturday!
Hi, Sally!!
Love the ornament. Isn't it wonderful to have these little treasures that hold our memories from years back? That's one of the wonderful things about Christmas, unpacking these little keepsakes.
Have a great pink Saturday. See you around!
Oh, I love these kind of ornaments. My Aunt used to make these years ago. Yours is truly beautiful.
In the spirit of the holidays, I am giving away some art today, because I BELIEVE. Please stop by and take your art home, or leave me your e-mail and I will send you the file. You can use the art for tags, cards, prints or in your creations for the Holidays.
Happy Pink Saturday.

Hi Sally!
I just popped in to have a look and say hello...what a cute ornament you made. That is darling. I can imagine you had some sore fingers doing it. I wonder did you make more than one?
Hope all is well.
Have a lovely day
Judi
Such a pretty ornament Sally, clever you to have made it, you must be very proud to display it each year. Happy Pink Saturday xx
Beautiful ornament! And so pink! Have a great Saturday! :) Vanessa
AHHH, I remember these...it is so pretty. My mom made some but I never did. I'm not crafty at all. She was so talented, I always let her do things for me and I never learned to do them. Now, I'm too old and set in my ways to want to start.
I, too, will be out of pocket the next few days..gotta finish up shopping and etc...
love, bj
I made some of these ornaments in the past. They are very meticulous and time consuming. Yours is great!
Love your pink ornament and it was sure worth the hard work as it still looks fantastic after so many years! I really enjoy your blog, and hope you're having a great weekend!
Happy Pink Saturday, Sally. I've been busy today too, so I'm trying to get in a bit of visiting now.
I love your ornament. I remember my mother making these, and they were so pretty. I wonder what happened to them?
What a beautiful ornament. I just love it. My tree is up, no decorations yet...I'm getting there tho.
Happy Pink Saturday!
Stephanie
Very pretty! My MIL had some of these, I so wish I would have gotten them. Yours is very pretty.
What a beautiful ornament! Happy Pink Saturday!

Ornaments like this are so pretty to me! Thanks for sharing!
Diane
Sally, this is such a nifty ornament and wonderful that you've had it all these years.
Yes, I made that same ornament, only in turquoise! Still have it somewhere. For the first couple of years we were married, it was just about the only Christmas decoration we could afford. Thanks for reminding me - I need to track mine down.
I've had those sore fingers also...now I use tiny slivers of glue, a toothpick..and tweezers. Your ornament is so beautiful tho..it was worth all the pain. Happy Pink Saturday and have a wonderful week. xx
That is a lovely ornament, Sally!
Sally, your ornament is gorgeous. I remember when those crafts were going around. I pushed pins into fruit and then gave them away years later. I wish I still had it. Ouch I do remember sore fingers.
My book arrived today. My DH knew him and was excited to read it too. Thank you Sally.
Last night for the drawing, so good luck Sally.
Hugs...Jeanne
Hi Sally, what a pretty pink ornament.....perfect for Pink Saturday!
Love, Ann
Very pretty ornament! Happy Pink Saturday! Suzie
