PINK, PINK......A Baby Shower

Welcome to a very pink 

post here at 

Pink Glitter!

Thank you so much for 

stopping by, Glitterinas!

We had a baby shower at our home.

Presents and books and laughter 

all for a precious little girl we are waiting 

to meet.

Her name will be 

Gracie!

She will be our nephew and his wife,

Aubrey and Jacki's

new baby!

I love a party....

I love a theme.....

The theme for this baby shower 

was

PINK!

I filled a tall hurricane glass with 

pink ornaments and fairy lights.....

......it looked nice with it's puffy, sparkly bow

standing in the middle of the table.

I used a lovely cutwork runner

with pink roses down the 

center of the dining room table.

Before a party or get-together I like to 

arrange all the platters, stands, bowls,

and other serving items that will be on the 

buffet.

That makes putting things out for the party 

quicker and if someone asks to help,

I can take them up on their kind offer!

The stars of the shower buffet on party 

day were the 

cookies!

They were wonderfully cute....

and they tasted so good!

They are from my fancy cookie lady,

Nancy. 

Let me know if you are in my area and would like her number!

I recommend her cookies every chance 

I get!

We played games.....

......thank you, Tricia, they were fun!

Jacki opened gifts....

.....I had some excellent help 

passing out and wrangling opened gifts 

from these two cuties.

Thank you, Hailee and Emery, 

you girlies were wonderful help!

Punch and snacks were enjoyed....

......and the tiny baby bottles filled with candy 

went home as favors with each guest.

I had so much fun with this shower!

I love a party!

All that pink just made me happy.....

......Mom to be was happy with all the 

cute clothes, diapers, books, and the really nice 

stroller she received.

Now we just have to wait for 

Miss Gracie 

to make her big entrance!

I'm so glad you stopped by, Glitterinas!

Thanks for letting me share 

our fun, afternoon shower.

Pink, pink, pink,

Tammy

Our Merry Christmas House

Merry Christmas, Glitterinas!

Thank you so much for stopping by.

I'm so glad you did.

I'd like to share our
Merry Christmas House with you!

 Let's start in the kitchen....

here's my little feather tree 

that's decorated with small silver spoons, forks and other 

small silver serving pieces.

I use the ribbon I tie on each piece to hang

it on the branches.

There are also some small 

mercury glass ornaments
on this tree.

The little gingerbread men are from my 

childhood tree......they were a string of 

twinkle lights!

Tucked around in the corners of my kitchen 

you'll see Christmas tins, small Christmas gifts 

from students.....

......and lots of other Christmas treasures.

The glass front cabinets are all dressed up 

with green wreaths.

Here's a favorite Nativity that we enjoy 

every year.

This little cutie was a gift from a very talented 

lady I had the pleasure of 

teaching with!

I'd love it if you were here.....

I'd tell you to make yourself at home 

and I would offer you a mug of 

hot Raspberry Zinger tea.....

and I would hope you could stay awhile and enjoy our 

home.

The fireplace is particularly lovely 

at night this year.

Our tree adds some lovely 

twinkle to the house this time of year!

From big trees to small ones....

From old Santas .....

to new Santas.....

We all hope you....

I am so blessed to have peace, calm, time, and health to 

enjoy this special part of the year 

with family and friends!

I strive to remember that....

Please join me in prayers for our military men and women 

and 

for others who are not able to be with loved ones this Christmas.

Thank you again, Glitterinas, for stopping by to 

visit our 

Merry Christmas House!

Our Christmas Tree

Hello Glitterinas!

I want to welcome you to our home

to see our Christmas Tree.

It's in the corner where it usually stands.

 The Christmas Train is

choo choo-ing around the 

vintage tin tub

in which the tree stands.

There's a vintage pink and blue baby 

quilt wrapped around the 

stand.....

inside the tub.....

but after the tree gets decorated 

the quilt just barely shows.

I know it's there so I smile when I see it

peeking through the lower 

branches!

The theme of our tree this year 

is 

The Nutcracker.

Every year when I get the branches fluffed 

and arranged....

.....and the lights come on and twinkle....

....and the train is chugging around and around....

......I think, goodness, I like it just like this!

And every year that lasts about 15 minutes

until I decide I want to go ahead and decorate it!

I started at the top with pink, sparkly 

poinsettias, some sparkly ting (very thin, stiff 

curly pieces that have been glittered), and 

some sparkly pink ribbon.

If you are wondering, yes, I was covered with 

pink glitter from decorating the top of 

our tree!

It's OK.....I love glitter and I love pink....

I just had a good laugh and soldiered on!

From there, my helpers and I started hanging 

all the fun Nutcracker ornaments 

on the tree.

Smallest at the top....

all the way down....

to the larger ones near the bottom!

Look closely.....

can you find your favorite 

Nutcracker character?

Here's a good look at the lovely ribbon 

coming down from the bow at the top.

Lots of graceful ballerinas dancing 

among the branches.....

.......dancers from around the world.....

.....and even Herr Drosselmeyer!

This Mouse King is my favorite....

he's sporting a fancy, pink, velvet cape 

and a wonderfully shiny sword!

I'm glad Clara's eyes are closed.....that nutcracker 

looks a little intense!

Only one of my hard working helpers 

would pose as she worked.....

......the other helper, daughter Ashley, 

declined....oh well.

I think the tree is twinkly...

....and sparkly

......and happy

.....and pink

....and looks festive!

What do you think, Glitterinas?

We'll enjoy our Nutcracker tree for 

the Christmas season of 2018.

When it's time to pack everything away 

we'll have some happy memories 

and some fun pictures of this

festive and sparkly Christmas tree!

Thank you so much for stopping by 

and 

letting me share our 

Nutcracker Christmas tree with you!

I hope you are enjoying some 

chilly temperatures 

and 

maybe even some snow

during this winter season.

I have some snow in a 

cute snow globe....

and in some terrific pictures 

that friends have shared of their 

precious families!

Safe travels to those of you "going"

for the holidays....

.....and cozy times for those of you "staying" 

for the holidays!

Merry Christmas, Glitterinas,

Tammy
