Merry Makings....

 
this Christmas I have turned my attention
to fresh
 Pink Carnations
I love these flowers and I find that they
last for a very long time
perfect for Christmas decorating
I have been sticking them in wreaths,
on top of tins filled with baking to be given away,
and in tiny vases around my Christmas home 
~ 
I hope to show you more ideas in days to come
but please bare with me as
my computer with all my photos
has died
I am getting familiar with a  whole new
system and a completely different computer
wish me luck

That is a wonderful idea to stick pink carnations in wreaths and I like your example. I think I will buy some for bouquets, which I wouldn't have thought of for Christmas. Thanks for the idea.

Sorry about losing your computer.. did you have back ups? What kind of new computer did you get? I'm an Apple girl. Love your pink carnations in the wreath!

Good luck with the computer, they do create challenges. Love the pink carnations. I was just thinking I needed some red carnations for decorating. Sweet, sweet wreath too.

Oh no! So sorry about your computer, Koralee--it's horrible when that happens...hard to get used to a new system, but I know you'll do it beautifully, as you do everything so beautifully...

Thank-you so much for the lovely Christmas card, my friend...what a sweet thing to have done! I'm very slow this year--need to get on the ball! Thank-you for thinking of me...

Wishing you the most wonderful week--I love pink carnations, too & I can see that they're helping to make your home merry & bright!
