Christmas Spirit

It really is Christmas time already. I can't even believe it. I t seems like each year the year goes by faster and faster! Christmas is one of my favorite times of year. I love the twinkling lights, the music, the joy and the celebration of Jesus Christ. I LOVE giving presents and picking out the PERFECT gift for my loved ones. So...to get everyone in the mood I put new music on my blog and I AM DOING A GIVEAWAY!! This will be our first Christmas giveaway BUT not the last!!

OK...here's the rules....You MUST leave your name in the comment section on the BLOG and you must tell me your 2 favorite things about CHRISTMAS!! YEAH!! I just love giveaways!

Also...I want to encourage EVERYONE to go to their local store and get an angel off your local Angel Tree. My hubby and I picked one out this evening while at Wal-Mart. This time of year is about giving, celebrating Jesus, being thankful for what we have, and sharing the love with absolute complete strangers! Why not?? Its Christmas and there are so many children out there that will end up with absolutely nothing on Christmas. As my hubby and I were looking at the Angel Tree and trying to pick someone out, I noticed that some of these kids want clothes and shoes for Christmas, not just toys. That told me that some of these kids really don't have much at all...they would just be SO happy with a new pair of jeans or tennis shoes. So...go out and make just one child's Christmas special!

OK...so here is what I am GIVING AWAY!!

This is an ADORABLE Christmas Tree Headband. It is on a green cotton headband and it has a real jingle bell in the center! :o) You can request it on a clip or headband if you are the LUCKY winner!

Also...we will be having a SECOND WINNER AS WELL!! YEAH! The 2ND winner will receive a small Christmas bow/headband of my CHOICE, but it will be CHRISTMAS!! So, make sure you leave your comments on the blog and lets make this giveaway bigger than the last!! The more people interested in the giveaways, the MORE I will do...I PROMISE!! SO START LEAVING COMMENTS AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS!!!

PS: This CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY WILL END ON DECEMBER 3RD, SO GET THOSE ENTRIES IN!!!!!

Have a wonderful weekend and let's get in the giving spirit...I know I AM!!

XOXO

2008 Junior League of Plano Soiree - SO BEHIND on blogging BTW!

Every year Junior League has a gala or soiree. This year it was in McKinney in an old historical building. The McKinney Cotton Mill was beautiful and basically a BLANK canvas for us to decorate! The dinner was catered, there was an open bar, great friends, a band, a live and silent auction, a cigar/whiskey bar and several guest speakers!! I am on the 'neath the wreath committee this year for decorations which included ALL the decoration for the soiree, so we had ALOT of work to do!! It turned out great, and we had lots of fun!! :o)
