Goodie Bag for the Girlfriends . . .

o what do you do when you invite people to your house for a special occasion?  Maybe you make them a little goodie bag so they know how happy you are to see them?  That’s what I’d like to do for you, to say thank you for the wonderful welcome you just gave me! That was so nice!  But it’s not easy to slip a goodie bag into someone’s computer.  So, no homemade truffles in this goodie bag (unless you count this RECIPE!), but I had a couple of other ideas for things you might like, two things actually.
or instance, how about this Birthday Organizer?  You can click HERE, and print it out. I keep mine in my kitchen; it’s so handy … a place to keep all my Birthdays and Anniversaries, the whole year at a glance. Like it?
r, maybe you’re having a summer dinner party and you need PLACE CARDS? OK, here you go! These are so easy and pretty, just print them on card stock, cut them out and fold them back at the dotted line, and there you go.  Use a black marker to write the names of your guests; write big so people can see where to sit without their glasses on!
elcome and thank you for being your darling selves, come back often, stay for a long time……

It’s only Love and that is all. . .

IT’S A BLOG


oes it look normal around here to you? ummm, yes?–no? Wait a minute . . . .

OMG.

did I not tell (warn) you we would be doing this? Were you losing faith? I know it’s taken forever, but if you saw what’s holding this thing together (duct tape and kite string) you would understand why.


efore we go further, I want to thank everyone who worked so hard to make this blog happen, Kellee Raser, Gary Gatel and Judy Watkins, and who else — all you patient people with your emails of encouragement! Hello FOSB! Hi Diane, Gayle, Elaine, Sharon, Terrie, Sarah, Rachel, Siobhan, Elizabeth (I can do this now ’cause I have a blog!), Hi Dad, Shell, Lowely, Martha, Margot, Annie, Carol, Jaime. Hi Tweetettes! Hi all my friends and family. So 21st century! We have to keep meeting like this!

espite the fact that this is a blog now, nothing has really changed, there are new free screen savers, stationery, and bookmarks you can print out; they’re in the same place they’ve always been (in Shopping, under From Me to You with Love). You are safe here, click on everything and take a tour . . . it won’t blow up on you (I always think if I click wrong, the computer could explode) … and tell me what you think.
ou can visit Martha’s Vineyard and go across the pond to England; plus, there are all new recipes for Summer. And lots of fun menus (just click on the words in the menus, and you get the recipe). We even have FAQ’s. We’re very professional! Pretty soon there will be more pictures of the Peter Rabbit room; more short videos, Stories of Home, Kitchen ideas, and a lot more. So stay. Take off your shoes, I’ll go make tea!

Hi Laura, Gert, Pam, Sandy, Dawn, Nancy, Sherrie, Joann, Angie, Erika, Joan, Rosinda, Erin, Jan, Morwenna….
or a few days, there may be a glitches in the shopping part of the blog…we had to unhook all the shopping wires from the website and rehook them to the blog, and maybe we missed a few. Would love your help, if you go shopping, and something’s not right, please click on Comments and let me know.
hat’s the best part….now you can leave your Comments and I won’t be the only one who can read them! You will finally get to see how wonderful you all are, how much we have in common…from your letters, I already know we love all the same things — home, family, beauty, nature, creativity, tradition, inspiration, best friends, gardens, food, and fun. (Books, tea, quilts, and old movies. Autumn. Decorating. Travel. Just for starters.) We are multi-faceted women of the world. Yes, that is us.
o if you feel like testing out our Comments, please be my guest; you know I can’t wait. Tell me what you’d like to see most on this blog. You’ll still be getting your WILLARDS; there will still be art and quotes, recipes and photos, all the I can possibly stuff into one space.
