FIRST...new idea for tickled pink:
I have visited every link...not everyone received a comment, but I DID visit (it does not mean you cannot/will not be featured). If you want to guarantee yourself a comment, leave a comment on this post and better yet, scroll over your link and get the thumbnail number and leave it in the comment! I am going to keep trying until I figure out how to manage this.
*************************
I am Tickled Pink because...
I went shopping (that usually makes me happy unless it is for bathing suits) and found this great store in Carmel-by-the-Sea called Eco Carmel - everything is about green living, sustainability, and natural health. The ladies there were fabulous and there was so much to look at..I think I am in LOVE!
And I spent some time walking around Carmel with my baby girl!
Anyway...I was picking up some Mythic Paint {LOVE!} for me...um, the house,
and saw this fun and fabulous gift for Jules...Glob Natural Paints!
I picked up this kit...full of fragrant color packets that you just add water to!
I am giddy - I cannot wait to try them!
*************************
I am tickled because watching the kids decorate the tree and listening to Joe tell Jules all the thing I told him about each ornament or why we do what we do was priceless! He is listening!
*************************
TWO sets of neighbors moved this week! So sad!
They were awesome neighbors and I am sad to see them go. One of them did leave me quite the surprise on my porch - a boatload of American Girl doll accessories. That was VERY sweet, but I'd still rather have them back as neighbors.
*************************
I am considering having a Best of Tickled Pink Party - I'll go through and pick out the top Tickled Pink links since I started this madness...and of course I want you to play along! So, start thinking about your BEST post of the year and come link it up on...OK I have not decided...should we do it in 2011 or the last week of 2010. Oh decisions!

so many great ideas! Thanks for the feature of my knife block!
ReplyDeleteI love this party, thanks for hosting.

Hi Holly! Thanks for hosting. Love your picks as always. I was Tickled Pink when my 5-year old's preschool teacher asked me to come in an explain Hannukah. I am Catholic, my hubby is Jewish... so I tickled myself by being able to explain the Festival of Lights to fifteen 5 year olds... play the dreidel game with them, talk about what a menorah is... and have it make sense. Did I mention these kids all go to a religious Episcopalian school? So this was new territory and I felt like I pulled it off!
ReplyDeleteA Best of sounds like a fabulously fun idea!! Thank you so much for the Homemade Christmas shoutout AND for featuring my grandparents, frame, Holly! And you featured so many of my favorite bloggers this week. ♥
ReplyDeletethanks for hosting! My linked projects actually have pink in them this week. Ha! I hope you stay "Tickled Pink"!
ReplyDeleteHi Holly, this is always a fun link up for me. <3 Thank you, thank you.
ReplyDeleteThose gingerbread marshmallows sound like a fun combination...yummy.
I hope you're having a happy Christmastime.
Hi Holly!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love listening to your kids retell you what you have told them. I listen to Lia tell my parents something that Troy or I had told her and she is so entralled in telling it. It just makes me smile!
I think the "Best of" should be the last Friday of the year. It will be a "Tickled Pink New Years Eve Party". LOL
Okay, I want to enter the giveaway. Of course I am a follower. And what tickled me most this week was taking Lia to the dollar store and letting her pick out the ornaments to put on "her" Christmas tree. We got a little tabletop tree at the thrift store for $1.50. Last night we put it all together with her ornaments and I swear she sat and stared at it for an hour straight. She is so excited about her tree and all her ornaments. Everything is so perfect in her eyes!
Thank you thank you thank you for the feature!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday, Holly! :>
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I immediately had to hop over to Moore Minutes to check out that new take on the advent calendar...what a fun idea! And oh my, I'm swooning over Flamingo Toes and right after I write you, I'm heading straight to Eco Carmel's site to check them out, they sound great. On a side note, you've sent me back in time to several day trips out to Carmel to wander, window shop, & just soak in that great little coastal town. Happy sighs. :>
I must admit I got a little giggle linking up today. Guess why?! My link up project is actually pink! LOL...hahaha... I wasn't intentional, but I did get a most silly giggle and silly giggles really do count as those little things that make me smile. Am I making *any* sense here at all?! Or should I just hurry up & get a cuppa java so that my mind starts thinking a little more coherrently?! :>
Oh yea, my link up is #48!
Hope you are having a fabulous Friday, Holly! :>
Thanks so much for featuring my Candy Cane sign Holly!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Michele - I LOVE the Best of idea!! That would be too fun!
I won the new Bon Appetit Desserts cookbook and it arrived yesterday! I'm in heaven and tickled pink for sure! Along with my Tassimo #brewbot to review and give one away! Best machine ever! Come by and enter!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in catering hell this week. I have a Christmas party to cater on Sunday. If I see another cookie between now and then I might puke! :D
i totally want the ruffled scarf.
ReplyDeleteand isn't it the greatest mom high when the oldest is teaching the youngest something?
Thanks for sharing my advent calendar Holly! Just love all your picks, and especially reading about being tickled pink. So fun!
ReplyDeleteI was tickled pink when my little buddy (my son Cooper who is only two) patiently cooked our entire dinner with me yesterday. It was the most precious time with him. I'm so thankful.
Blessings to you,
Holly

Thanks for featuring my apple cider! I like to make a big batch on Saturday and heat it up in mugs throughout the week. It really is as yummy as it smells :)
ReplyDeleteWow Holly, you already have like a gazillion awesome entries!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting! Great picks! And there are some super awesome links in the party!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for featuring my woven star! And thanks for hosting another link-up -- I will be posting the third star in the series of woven star tutorials!

Dear Holly
ReplyDeleteI'm tickled pink that you featured my Green Beans & Almonds - Asian Style Recipe this week - woo hoo! I'm also tickled pink that you're surprising one of your readers with another fabulous prize! :-)
I hope you're having a wonderful holiday season. I just linked up my Cinnamon Apple Strudle Bundt Cake - yummy enough to pull Prince Charming out of a funk when he discovered that his new computer had a bad motherboard this week!
Hugs

Gingerbread marshmallows...sign me up!!
ReplyDeleteI'm tickled pink about going sledding with my 3-year old. I'm not exactly the "outside" Mom, but the weather was just right. We had so much fun.
(I can't believe I wasn't following 'til now. DUH!)
Thanks so much for featuring my pink Christmas and for hosting such a fun party!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks for the feature!
ReplyDeleteHi Holly-thanks for featuring me last week-love your idea here-it's so fun and different! Hope your holidays are going well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Holly for featuring me this week. It was such a nice surprise to find that as I was reading the post. My new post is number 90 I think. Have an awesome week. Again thanks so much for featuring my paper village.
ReplyDeleteHolly, you always provide the most interesting links.
ReplyDeleteHoping you are having a great weekend!
I always love to stop by and see what your tickled pink about.
ReplyDeleteWOW!! I would love the American Girl doll accessories.
Thanks to The Scrap Shoppe for the Watergate recipe. I plan to make it on Christmas day. I am beginning my search for that perfect Christmas meal.
I always enjoy visiting Modern Country Style. Their heart and cinnamon garland is awesome. I love all the pictures too.
Oh cool, a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. I just love Charlie Brown.

I'm tickled pink by all the gorgeous Christmas spirit in the blogosphere right now - fabulous finds, as always, thank you Holly :)
ReplyDeleteI've been running like a crazy woman and I am just now popping in over here. I was pleasantly surprised to see you featured my Glitter Bow tutorial. Thank you so much! Have a wonderful holiday!!!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, so many good things to speak about but my absolute favorite is that your oldest was sharing all the traditions and tales you taught. Very few things feel as good as when we realize that our children are listening. Yay! Yay! Yay!
ReplyDelete:-)
