The Rose Bowl and a Giveaway

The Roses have arrived in all their sweet glory!

I just put together a simple little bouquet. These are so fragrant.
This year is going to be a banner year for roses I think.

This post is my 508th post! Can you believe that?

So! I think that calls for a celebration...

How about a giveaway this Friday?

Ok... And what about one next Friday too?

OKAY!

So here's the deal... I will be giving away one of these cute books from Hoffman Media . One this Friday and one next Friday.

Just leave a comment on this post letting me know you would like to be chosen.

A New Cloche

Today I'm joining Marty from A Stroll Thru Life for the first party of a 4 party EGG- stavaganza!
The event she is hosting is her famous Cloche Linky party.
So even though I've been out of town and I'm arriving to her party a day
late...
I'm still going to jump in!

Make sure you hope over there to see all the other participants.

I don't have anything new...

BUT

I was a lucky recipient of this darling cloche from Laurie at
Bargain Hunting and Chatting with Laurie. She had a fun Valentine's Day party that if you missed out on you can click here.

I'm I a lucky girl or what!?

So in a nutshell ... There you have it!

Just Popping In To Say Hi!

I don't know about you... but every year ... just about this time... it feels like someone presses the fast forward button and the year just seems to spin out of control right into the next. AND every year I proclaim that this will not happen again... AND I WILL enjoy the holidays this year!

This year is not an exception to the rule. The only difference is that I have actually gotten a few things done to ease the rush.
I did get the tags done for my little jam jars. (this is the table top part)

These will make sweet little extra gifts for family and friends. If you want the recipe for the jam, click here. It really is pretty simple and fun too.

I'm almost done with my Christmas Cards! YAY!!!!

Nothing super fancy...

Just Sweet and Simple.

I just need some kind of sentiment for the inside.... Any suggestions?

Speaking of Sweet and Simple.....
Just a reminder.... I will be announcing the winner of the Sweet and Simple give away Friday October the 7th. Which just happens to coincide with our Fresh Cut Friday post. It's not to late to sign up for that. Leave me a comment and also if you are a follower or become a follower let me know.(click on the give away image or here to enter the give away) I hope that you will stop by share any pretty flowers or arrangements that you have, but if not come by and see some gorgeous vignettes.
