Giveaway News

We had snow squalls this weekend that caused a 40 car pile up on the highway.  Glad I was home.                                                                                                
 Now on with the giveaway. I will add something to the give away each time I post. It will be something I find at a thrift store,free, or something I make. I will draw a name on Jan 27th, one person will win it all. Just leave me a comment and you can enter each time I add something to the giveaway. If you mention the giveaway on your blog, let me know and you will be entered again. To start the count down to my one year blog anniversary I am going to start with a dvd that is so cute. and a pomander I got at the thrift store. It is transfer ware made in England, and it will be filled with something that smells nice. Sorry only U.S. and Canadian blogers only (its the shipping:(
It was a trying weekend my husband is sick with a head cold. We were invited to dinner with friends, we had to cancel. We were suppose to go see that sweet new grand baby we couldn't.  So I had myself a pity party and to have a pity party you serve no refreshments and no one comes to visit. I was so mad at him and then common sense kicked in about oh 15 hours later. I know it is not his fault. Still not happy but did say I was sorry, lets just hope I do not get it. I am hold up in the spare bedroom and he is banned from even touching the door knob, poor husband.
You made me laugh with your comments about bread and chocolate. and a Big WELCOME to my new followers only 12 more and its 100!
My ending quote: If you haven't got anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me.... Alice Roosevelt Longworth (1884-1980) oh so catty ha

I love a give away. Good luck everyone. Sorry to hear about your husbands head cold. I heard fresh bread from a bakery cures the common head cold of a sick husband. Oh,or maybe it just makes the wife feel better. I forget. LOL!!! Have a great week.

Hi Cathy,
I can't believe I missed that post on bread and chocolate! I had to go read it! You do have a dilemma there girl! I'd go completely insane if it were me because I have absolutely NO willpower!
I hope your hubby gets over that cold soon and you stay healthy! You won't be able to last long without seeing that darling baby girl!
Your give-away should be a blast! Congrats on the new followers!

Sorry about the cancelled trip...I'd be sooo sad! Hope you can reschedule soon and your hubby feels better!!

I hope that your husband's cold goes away and that you will soon be able to go visit your little granddaughter. If you couldn't go to your friends maybe you can invite them over when the cost is clear. Have fun with your give away. JB

I don't like to tempt fate..if I make a remark about a "sickie" in the house, I usually get it next! Hope he feels better soon and you stay well... (I would be bummed about not seeing the new Grandkiddo however!) The giveaway sounds fun!

Looking forward to seeing pictures of your darling new grandbaby. I am however glad you were unable to venture out, you could possibly have gotten caught up in that horrible car pile up! How quickly the weather conditions change, snow squalls are down right dangerous. Please add me to your fun filled giveaway!

Sunny Simple Life said...

Oh I am sure it is killing you to not go see the baby. I understand you can't go if you are sick. I sweat by Zycam spray. The pot in my photo I think is a tea pot cause of the strainer built inside but it is so tall for a tea pot.

Stay safe and warm.

I hope your husband feels better soon :-)

Daisy would love a window that was low like that one so she could look outside anytime!
