Today is the last pink Saturday, though there are still 6 pink days left in the month.
So here is a bit of pink trivia to start wrapping things up
So here is a bit of pink trivia to start wrapping things up
- First Lady, Mamie Eisenhower, who loved and wore pink so much it became known as “Mamie Pink”.
- Pink encourages friendliness while discouraging aggression and ill-will.
- Since the color pink is said to have a tranquilizing effect, sport's teams sometimes use pink to paint the locker room used by opposing teams.
- In 1947, fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli introduced the color "hot pink" to western fashion. She dubbed the shade "Shocking Pink," though today the color is more well-known as "magenta."
- Pastries taste better when they come out of pink boxes or served on pink plates (it only works with sweets). Pink makes us crave sugar.
I am running out of pink scraps, but putting the last bits to use in these pink framed geese that I am desperate to finish for Hawaii Sunset. How about you? Still sorting through the last bits of pink? Ready to share your pink projects for the month? Use the Linky below to link to your post full of pink.

I love your flying geese blocks...they would make a great scrappy project all on their own!
Anyone who can make that many flying geese blocks has my admiration!
I'd like to see a pink locker room! Your flying geese are so bright and fun. No progress on my scrappy project for 2013, guess I need to get going on that.
Good trivia for a pub quiz! I finally managed to get some pink DJ blocks done and linked up!
Your geese look great. January is flying by!
Your pink flying geese are so neat! Thanks for all the fun this month working with pinks!

I love your scrappy pink geese, Angela! January have been so much fun :D
Such pretty geese! I fear I have more pink lurking around in the scrap bin. Maybe some more crumbs will get made this week. I'm starting to wonder what color we get to play with next month....
I too, love your FG! This was fun for me. I couldn't get my thumbnail to publish - any hints!
Blessings
I decided to join in with RSC13 to jump start my creative juices! :)
Fun facts!!! I did not know any of these. Looking forward to seeing everyone's projects :*)
Great pink trivia and I like the flock of geese flying into the pink sky.
Loved the pink trivia - I shall have to find some pink plates for serving King Cake!
Pink was great -- off to a good start here for 2013 :)
When do you announce the next color?

You have found the perfect wings for your flying geese! Looking forward to February's color challenge.
Great flying geese. Thanks again for hosting. I will have to take a good look around Sunday. I am falling asleep tonight. Wow I was 28th this week. Looking forward to next month.
I still have a lot of pink scraps to use another time, though I think I will try do something with them in the next few days before they are put back on the shelf :) Love your flying geese with pink skies!
Im a bit late joining in with the pink, but at least Ive manage to get something done! I love flying geese - they look great.
Oh my goodness...it's a scrappy pink explosion...so many great projects...I am tickled pink!
SO FUN!
Actually got some pink Disappearing 16 patches done before the month disappeared! Looking forward to browsing through everyone else's pinks!
Paper piecing sounds like a great way to make Flying Geese. I will definitely have to try it.
I can't wait to find out what next month's color will be.
That reminds me I need to make a pink heart! Purple is next..yaay!
I finally got around to linking :)
Pink -- reminds me of The Pink Panther. Your flying geese are great. Did I hear that purple is next for February?
