Speaking of songs stuck in one's head---- If you've never gone through the "It's a Small World" attraction at Disney, I'd strongly suggest you NEVER do! Geez, it has been 2 days.... Nancy- I'm with you! What could be more romantic than, "you're ugly and you're stupid, but I love you that way"? I guess somebody likes to have the upper hand! ...but the lyrics do help for when I get it stuck in my mind. They're familiar when I read them, but I couldn't come up with them on my own. I guess that when I open my mouth to speak... Neat pictures, Shelly!!

Absolutely breath-taking. I, too, am a pink fan. I got some pink dishes for Christmas that I haven't played with yet. You have given me lots of inspiration. The stacked plates with the cupid is wonderful. All the little details make your table perfection. I have a confession - I put my pink christmas tree in my bedroom this year so I can look at it as I fall asleep and...I can't bring myself to take it down. I have this "pink" thing really bad! Nothing else in my house is pink. My DH just laughs and says "Keep it up all year - it gives you so much pleasure"

Thanks for the comments, 'Holiday-ers' ... I've never had any trouble buying faux candles w/on-off switch only or w/timer on-off switches. But these remote ones I saw posted by our Holiday friend, jane ...& loved them...so 3rd time was a charm...they're working beautifully! The pics I used are like postcard pics from a book called 'Weddings' ...Memories of a Liftime by Sandra Evertson (artwork for scrapbooks & fabric-transfer crafts)...has a CD with it that are copyright-free images. One thing I forgot to mention is to let your ink 'dry' 10 min or so before attaching to the candle. ;-) Jeanne S.
