Happy Thanksgiving Girls!


Hi everyone! I hope you all are spending quality time with your family and friends for Thanksgiving!
I am still without my personal computer so I'm using my hubby's ~ which is really nice and everything......but it's not my computer with all my fun programs! So here I sit this evening pondering my plan of attack for tomorrow's menu! A non-traditional feast we are having~ no real turkey for us ~ we're doing a tofu~rkey instead. I'm making an Apple Bourbon Cake (recipe from Paula Niziolek) and White on White cupcakes (Pasta & Co. recipe)for dessert....yep forgoing the pumpkin pie! Even though we're going non traditional for the main course, we're still having Green Bean Casserole with French fried onions, mashed potatoes, my Gramma Merles Orange Cranberry Sauce and my favorite....Golden Layer Bisquits!
I know all of you are having a great day off (hopfully) and are gearing up for the sales Friday!!! Looks like JoAnn's is having a great sale from 6am ~ noon! Ah...scary just saw an ad for Kohl's ~ 4am ladies! Am I the only one that doesn't get out of bed to take advantage of these insane sale time slots!?
Safe travels for all too.
P.S. My husband picked the graphic for this featurette! Isn't it cute?

New Swap Themes and a Few Changes!






















Well hello to all!!! We've had a few in unexpected bumps in the road which has changed things a wee bit. Please refer to this new visual for our 2008 swap themes! Jaina will not be playing with us so I made up a theme for her swap month in April! I hope you all like Vintage/Retro!!!! I know there are a few of you who will be MORE than thrilled about it!! So since Jaina won't be playing it really only changes a couple minor details one being we now only have 11 players! So we will proceed with the following for a Rotation Guide:

Here is our list of players

1. Lethalblonde
2. Debbi
3. Craftsty
4. Gigi
5. Lola
6. Jennifer
7. Zhulia
8. Ichigo
9. Shan
10. Purr
11. Drewzel

Use this a guide to determine who you will be swapping with in chronilogical order. Very simple indeed! Start with your name for the month of January and go down the list to the next person (this is who you will be swapping with first. Lethal has the easiest list to follow : )
For example I find my name (Gigi) so the person I swap with in January is Lola!!! Then I swap with Jennifer in February and so on and so on! Keep going until you have swapped with each gal one time. This will take us all the way through the month of October. We will draw names for the month of November for who we will swap with and then we will do a Secret/Mystery Swap partner for December!
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this New and Improved swap rotation schedule!!!
