I am blog hopping this afternoon (I think I have a new addiction) and I came across this great blog and she is having a give-a-way. Go check it out, especially if you love tassels..............
Susan @ Between Naps on the Pourch. BTW, Susan hosts a blog party, (which I did not know about earlier) here called Metamorphosis Monday. Ok, back to Pink Saturday blog hopping.

BYE...................................

Blog Parties.......Everywhere!!!!!!

Ok, I have to tell you, I have discovered a most fun activity.......

Blog parties................now I know I am a bit slow, because they have been going on for a long time, but I am just having so much fun discovering wonderful blogs from all over. You know the kind where you hate to hit the close button, because you really, really do not want to leave.

So if you have not discovered blog parties you should give it a try, here are a couple

Over at Twice Remembered is Make your Monday, where you will find DIY projects
On Beverly's blog you will find Pink Saturday where 164 bloggers share something pink.
Blue Monday's are celebrated on Smiling Sally's blog
Charlotte hosts Spiritual Sunday and White Wednesday over at Faded Charm
Then there is Out Door Wednesday and many more, like Table Scape Thursday.

So get a cuppa, and join the parties.............you will be so glad you did.

One World One Heart

It has been so much fun to be a part of OWOH blog party. What a treat to visit 1038 blogs from around the world, getting a glimpse into each persons life. I have always know there are alot of blogs out there, but this experience has shown me that I have not a clue. 1038 blog owners participated in this event, as many as that is, it doesn't even scratch the surface of the wonderful places to visit.

I want to announce the winner of my Crazy Quilted purse.

The winner is





















Ginny from Mom of 2 Dancers

Congratulations Ginny, (Ginny has been contacted via email this morning) please contact me with your address.
