Pot of Pink Poem - Help Please

Hiya

I am doing 2 pots of pink this year. One for my neice with jewellery, sweets and hsm hat and scarf. The other one for my sil which has alcohol, sweets and jewellery in.

If anyone has any idea for a poem I would be very grateful! I have searched for ages looking for one.

Also am doing a silver linning pot for my other sil with jewellery and choccy in (and a scratch card if i can find a silver one) so if anyone has any ideas for that as well, that would be great! :D

Thank you so much x

    got the silver pot one, what do you think?

    Every cloud has a silver linning,
    or that is what they say,
    So here's lots of pretty silver things
    To brighten up your day


    dh just looked at me like i was a loon (no change there then!!! lol)
  • I know what you mean. I've just spent most of this evening making pots of gold for my grandchildrens teachers....even if I say so myself think they are really good especially as I haven't made them before. Hubby never gives praise though...just looks at me as if I am daft and wasting time. Just wait until he finds out I am going to make another 12 for our christmas table.
  • haha my hubby thinks I am a loon too!
    I have done silver ones - do u mind if I pinch ur ryhme?
    I can imagine the look on my dads face when i give them to my brother and sisters - he wont get it either but i like original gifts and they def. wont have had them before :)
    Wish I was having lunch at home as I'd be doing these instead of crackers too! Also wish i'd thought of a pot of pink for my sisters - too late for this year tho :(
