A GIFT-AWAY and HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY

~ AN IRISH BLESSING ~
"MAY YOU BE IN HEAVEN A HALF HOUR BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD"
***********************************************
HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY TO YA


*****************************************




200 postings....I can't believe it. What is even scarier...I have at LEAST 200 more floating around in this silver haired head of mine! Bless your hearts...that probably scares YOU, too !! lol


What fun I have had and how much I love all of you. You are such a SWEET, SWEET bunch of ladies and I am so honored that you will come to this blog and read about my passion for all things black and white, vintage, good to eat things....


SO... WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, I AM GOING TO PUT YOUR NAMES in a pretty vintage bowl (of course!) and the one I draw will receive THIS.....................





A FITZ and FLOYD, Cog Du Village, Rooster Portrait plate in blues, golds, yellows and just a hint of red. Oh, it's mighty pretty and, if you can use these colors and you like ROOSTERS, please leave a comment on THIS posting of mine.


IF YOU ARE A BLOGGER, I will email you as soon as I draw your name (make sure your email address is listed on your beautiful blog) and once I have your mailing address, it will be on it's way to your lovely home. I will leave this open for a few days and have the drawing on SATURDAY, MARCH 22nd.

The ONLY thing I ask is that every time you look at this colorful, little plate, say a tiny PRAYER for me; just a "God bless bj"........ And to say a prayer for me is saying a prayer for my beloved family. One can NEVER have too many prayers going up for them! Even if they go up thru bribery!! :) :) :)

SO...I say THANK YOU right now to the future winner... "THANK YOU!"


GOOD, GOOD LUCK....


I LOVE you all and thank you from the bottom of my heart for stopping by to visit with me and for being such a wonderfully sweet bunch of ladies *

AIN'T LIFE GRAND !!!


I have absolutely had THE TIME OF MY LIFE and it is all due to YOU!

BLESSINGS and LOVE,
bj

NOTE ADDED: I forgot to mention that if you would like to mention my giveaway gift on your blog, I would be happy. :)

Blessings,

Betty said...

BJ,
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit with you and I am crazy about your black and white kitchen....my kitchen is red and white buffalo check with black accents and black and white toile window treatment.....

Please do enter me in your drawing as I use roosters in my kitchen also...

I made the comment once to friends that when I make our bed I said a prayer for the person who gave me an accent pillow. In a few days two friends said, "here is a pillow for your bed, now say a prayer for me every morning."

Happy Easter to you as we commemorate the death and resurrection of our Savior....Betty

I would so love to win it. Take care my friend and have a great day. May God Bless You and Yours.

Love & Hugs,
