Welcome to CollectInTexas Gals Pink Saturday #11 Post!
Haven't the December Themed Pink Saturday's been so much Fun!Fun!Fun!
This Pink Saturday...December 19th is 'Favorite Christmas Tradition'.
(I have one and it's coming in a minute or two)
Last Pink Saturday...December 12th was 'Favorite Christmas Decoration'.
(Mine was my Mama's Candy Cane Santa and Santa and Mrs. Clauses)
Three Pink Saturdays ago...December 5th was 'Favorite Childhood Christmas Memory'.
And that's where SaraJane comes into the picture!
My Thank-you Letter to Santa must have traveled 'LicketySplit' through my Yahoo Email.
Santa must have had a 'HotLine' to eBay, PayPal and the US Post Office cause Sara Jane arrived last Saturday, December 12th.

'I Believe' it was meant to be!
You See....we were having a 'Family Christmas Party' when the door bell rang!
"Who could it be? We are all here", I said as Papa Santa went to answer the door.
It was our Santa Mailman with a 'Big UHaul' box!

She will be posting about her MakeOver, her New Room, and in time when she's better, her many Christmas' apart from 'The First Little Girl' for whom she was a Christmas Gift, Sue.
