I WON!

I just found out that I won Jan and Tom's Give A Way! I will post pictures when I get it! Thank you Jan and Tom!!!

I Won!

I won again!!!

Christine from "Somewhere in Time" (Private Blog) just had a 100th post GiveAWay and she emailed me this morning that I Won!!! I don't believe it!

A couple of weeks ago, I won a Give-A-Way from Sally at Smiling Sally! She is a book reviewer and from time to time also has book Giveaways. It is a Christian Novel (I love reading these) and is a story about a reality show. I am hoping to get to read it soon. During Christmas break.

Thank you Sally! I can't wait to get started on this book.

I have several awards and a tag to post. Hopefully will get to that in the next day or so.

Have a blessed day!

Home Depot Give-A-Way!

Just in time for Christmas, Home Depot is having a great Give-A-Way! $100 gift card! What would you get with an HD $100 gift card? I know what I would get!

Now, you are probably wondering "How do I register for this Home Depot Gift Card?" Well I am going to tell you just that. Click on this link, Home Depot and follow the instructions.

I am sitting here surfing blogs and taking it easy. There is a sinus thing going around and I picked it up (DH came down with it a few days ago) and it is not bad, but I got the 'stickies' in my throat. I always know what that means. Now I have 3 shoots today. 2 parades and one family. The second parade DH was going to finish up for me and I was going to leave early and shoot the family. Thankfully, I did not schedule the Santa shoots today as well. I usually do them the first Sat in Dec too! I am so glad I did not make those arrangements.

I spent all afternoon at the doc yesterday and I have strep. DH and DD never get it. They stay away from me b/c they can pass it to someone else, but they never have had it in their lives. Not a good time to get sick, but you know what, God is in total control and I am not going to worry about it. I will simply try to reschedule my afternoon family shoot ( I am sure they do not want their 4 kids exposed to strep!) and spend the day taking it easy, cleaning, lysoling, cleaning, lysoling and doing a little decorating and lysoling.

This antibiotic is making me feel a little woozy, but winning that HD GiveAWay would make me get over it real quick!

Y'all have a Blessed Day!

The SEC Championship Game is about to start. I am about to make a pot of tea, make some soup or cheese and crackers and settle in.

Drum Roll Please!!!!

DD did the honors. Elvis stood watch, making sure all the slips of paper were well mixed and DD kept her eyes closed.

..........And the Winner is...... Anya of Hills Creek Quilter! Congratulations Anya! She is a quilter and has a great blog on quilting. Please take a moment to visit her blog.

Oh this Give-A-Way has been way too fun! And I have gotten to visit so many new blogs and still have more to go visit. I look forward to doing another Give-A-Way. Maybe for my 200th post? :D

I have really enjoyed blogging and the friends I have met here. Y'all are great!

Congratulations Anya! Email me through my profile, sending me your address, etc!!!

A Give-A-Way

Did I say I would post a Give-A-Way today? I did didn't I. If you are here for todays Blue Monday Post, you will need to scroll down to the next post. :-D

Drum Roll Please.....

Ta-Daaaa!

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas!

2 lovely Holly and Berry Snack Plates with Matching Mugs. (I ordered several sets of these plates/mugs last year. One set for me, and a couple Dirty Santa Gifts and such. They did not arrive in time for one of the parties we went to and I saved it for this year!
I call it my Santa Snack Plate and Mug. :0))
A Cute Christmas Tree Ornament I purchased from our newly opened Garden Ridge Shoppe.
And the snack plates will be full with the bag of soft and chewy chocolate chunk cookies, I also found at Garden Ridge. Yum they look so GOOD!!!
I also found the cutest Christmas Dish Towel at Big Lots. It has a recipe for Santa Cookies and a Santa Cookie Cutter attached to it.
That is just in case you run out of those Chocolate Chunk Cookies!

Winter has come early to the South this year. I am sure it is that way everywhere.
So I am filling the mugs with ingredients for Snowman's Soup!
Good anytime, but especially on a cold night.

And in the spirit of Bloggerville thriftness, I found this little Santa Tree, new in box, at the local Goodwill Thrift Store. I think he is so adorable.
