Give-away Winner and Gingerbread Houses~

Hello everyone,
Today is the day to annouce the winner of my teapot give-away and the winner is... Jil at Say It With Roses!!  Congratulations, Jil!  Thank you to everyone who visited and participated! Each of you made my first give-away a very fun experience for me!

Yesterday, I visited Kingwood Center in Mansfield, Ohio. For those who don't know, Kingwood Center is a 47-acre public estate/garden that was a private residence, at one time. It was decorated for Christmas and my first time visiting during the holidays. It was gorgeous!! I took lots of photos and will be doing a full post about it later, but today I'm sharing photos of a couple of the wonderful creations that were on display for the Gingerbread House contest.  Enjoy!

Until next time,

Cindy

Pink Roses ~

It's time for another Pink Saturday with Beverly on How Sweet the Sound! This week went by so fast! I'm sharing photos of pink roses that I took when my sister and I visited Kingwood Center in Mansfield, Ohio this week. I'm doing another post about it later with more photos of the estate and gardens, but thought these would be perfect for Pink Saturday. I was a little surprised that so many roses were still in bloom - although we haven't yet had a hard frost. I hope you enjoy the roses! Happy Pink Saturday!

These blush pink roses, like in the above photo, are my all time favorites ~ so old-fashioned looking and romantic!
