Your Seat is Waiting and Trick #5

There were 8 valid entries in the 

Love Is All Around  Giveaway.

There were more comments but there were many

who knew that they would not be able to attend.

So I used the Random Generator thingie

but it won't let me show it on here,

or more precisely I cannot figure how to show it,

and I am done fussing with it, 

especially since I never did get that nap.......

soooooo

Number 2 was generated randomly,

 and the second entry was

Tanya!

Your seat at the table is waiting for you.

Love Is All Around

I am very  happy that  you will be joining us.

I wish I could have you all sitting around,

chatting and creating for the day.

We do have fun, and oh my, 

the topics we cover!! I blush..

Stop laughing girls! I can so blush!

Just cause I haven't in over 40 years.. hush now.

Howie ( Eisenhower)

Right after we adopted him.

Who could resist this guy with his different eye colors?

Everyone could but us.  No one else wanted him.

This has absolutely nothing to do 

with this post, I just came across the old pic today.

I know the typical advent calendar is for 25 days,

but my countdown as of the first, 

is a mere 21 days.

21 days till my chicks come home.

All you moms who have your family close by,

or close enough for weekend visits, count your blessings.

This long distance dance is awful,

but oh, the visits are so dear to my heart.

Tanya is planning to post good pics 
of her pendants on her blog today. 
Check them out...

Trick # 5

Pair up for decorating.

Gather 1 or two friends together and 

take turns going to each other's

 homes to decorate.

Draw numbers to see whose home 

is done in what order..

Preset definite days for decorating,

and no excuses, this is pinkie swear.

The home host feeds the friends.

You will get fresh insight into your decorating, 

it will get done much faster with friend help,

( we know we rarely get any other holiday help)

and you'll have fun.

I would recommned no more than

 three sign up together.

Too many opinions can slow things down,

and save the margaritas for after.

Tis the season to be merry,

Just not THAT merry!
