Christmas Giveaway Winner!

I'm sorry to have been absent the last few days. Work has been absolutely nutso & the thought of turning on my laptop when I get home makes me want to pull my hair out. Which would be bad, since it has finally grown to a length I like.

With no further ado (or worries about my hair being patchy), the winner of my Christmas giveaway is Katie of The Perks!

Congratulations Katie! Please email me with your name & mailing information & I'll get your gift off to you as soon as possible.

Fabulous Friday!

Happy Friday Everyone! It's here - another edition of Fabulous Friday! A highlight of all things fabulous that I've stumbled across over the course of this week (in no particular order, of course!) or even fond memories I have stored in my brain.

Since I know you're all eagerly awaiting this, the winner of yesterday's third Christmas Giveaway is d.a.r. of Just Another Day in Paradise!

d.a.r. was one of the first bloggers I began following when I started my blog. I loved reading her successes while her husband was away (thank you d.a.r.'s Hubby!) and I'll admit, being the emotional person that I am, I may have shed a tear (or 25+) when she wrote about her hubby coming home. And she loves shells & cheese - just like me!

d.a.r., please email me & send me your address so that I can get things mailed off to you.

I truly love Marie Claire, so much so, that I picked 3 additional winners to receive a year's subscription.

Brown Girl, Brown Eyed Girl & Kiwi s & Cocktails Ashley, please email me so I can get your subscription started!

Fabulous Friday kicks off with this sweater I found at Banana Republic & snagged for 40% off. Love it! I was freezing cold in Maine & all I could think of was staying warm. This fit the bill.
Cashmere sweaters at 40% off. Yes please!! Sweater for Mr. Potts - yep, you guessed it, 40% off.

You guys, I'm home, but exhausted. I'm finally warming up after freezing all week. I've got some prep work to do for our party tomorrow night. I'll make sure to share the snacks in a later post.

You'll forgive me if this is a short Fabulous Friday?
Happy Friday!

Fabulous Friday

Happy Friday Everyone! It's here - another edition of Fabulous Friday! A highlight of all things fabulous that I've stumbled across over the course of this week (in no particular order, of course!) or even fond memories I have stored in my brain.

Since I know you're all eagerly awaiting this, the winner of yesterday's second Christmas Giveaway is Lindsey of Learning to be a Wife! Lindsey has to be one of the sweetest people I've "met" through blogging & I am so happy that I did!!

A serious note to begin with. Yesterday a co-worker of mine learned that she has colon cancer & that it has spread to her liver. She has a 20 year old son who is currently in remission from cancer. If you all could lift her up in your prayers I'd greatly appreciate it.

Now on to the fabulously positive!

Our Annual Holiday Party is coming up next Saturday. I'm trying to figure out in advance what I want to wear. Some people will dress up, we'll have some in jeans & dressy tops & some may wear dresses. As hostess (hostess with the mostest - HA!) I like to dress up, but not go overboard so that our guests won't feel under-dressed.

I'm thinking of this little sweater dress with some tights. Easy, comfortable & comfy! Thoughts?
Whatever I wear for our party, I'll be sure to get my nails done. Most likely with Essie Wild Thing (yes, the same one that Lindsey is getting). The more I look at the color, the more I love it.
Don't you all get excited when you get tagged for an award? I love it. It's that little rush of "Yes! They like me!" I mean, for serious, doesn't it just make you feel GOOD when you scroll down and see your name? I always get the BIGGEST grin on my face! Both MCW & Landlocked Mermaid tagged me with the Happy 101 Award! I'll be sure to share this with you all tomorrow.

We received most of our furniture. We're missing the table & buffet, which I'm not happy about as we were told the table was in. And I REALLY wanted the table to be in for our party & for Christmas.

We did however receive the new living room furniture. I need to take some new pictures since when I took these, we didn't have any new lights for the room. Because of the lack of lighting, the couch looks slightly green. It isn't, just photographed that way.

The first view encompasses the "Captain's Chair" & the new sofa & coffee table.

Close up of the Captain's chair with my favorite throw on the back.

Pardon Hayden's hairy rear end in the picture, she wouldn't move.

I had to take a picture of our tree. We had to put off decorating it until this weekend (so the munchkins can help us) but we strung the extra lights on it. Isn't it pretty?What has made your week fabulous?
Happy Friday!!
