It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Connie and Mary Blog Hop. This week our theme is “Non-Traditional Christmas Colors”!  This challenge will run for TWO WEEKS so our Design Team can enjoy the Christmas holidays!  How about some PINK Christmas Trees?  Gold and pink are all the rage in decorating for Christmas this year!
