XXXOOO

I wanted to take this opportunity before any more time passes to say a great, big, ol' THANK YOU to all of you who take the time to read my posts. When I started doing this a few months back, I thought if just one person reads it I wasn't going to be disappointed. Happily I can say now, I wasn't and I'm still not. Y'all are just the best. The response to my last post was so great, that I'm really going to try and expand it. A lot of you obviously had been thinking what I was thinking and are ready for some changes. I really am going to work on a button (even though I have no idea how to do that) and I'm taking the 2 Chippys up on their idea for the first meeting of the JWL Club to be held in the spring at Zapp Hall during Antique Week. I think that would be an absolute hoot!!! I've got a few other ideas rolling around in this pea brain of mine and I'll let y'all know 'em as I soon as I do. I did go ahead and put a temporary button up and for the time being, or at least until I can come up with something more clever, we are going to be Jewels. If you want to steal, I mean borrow it for your blogs, be my guest. I think we can have a really good time with this and to heck with those who might deem it uncool. Besides, we're not cool-we're Uber-cool!

I also wanted to show a little of the love that was sent to me over the last few weeks. Sue at Bella Shabby sent me this H-U-G-E song chart for the yet-to-be-born trashette. I love it so much. Dig that title. I also love Sue for thinking of me in such a special way. She and I may never get to meet face to face, but I pray we will always be friends. What do you think, kiddo?

This is the loot I got from the Junkin' YaYa. Is this a great haul or what? Debi was so un-freaking-believably generous with her December giveaways. The packing alone was worth it's weight in gold. Look at that tiny Merci card-love, love, love it.

I feel lucky to have won that night, but I feel more touched and blessed that I can call her friend.

And that brings me to Lulu of 2 Chippys fame. She knows what a trashy woman likes and needs. Those shoe buckles scream me, me, me!!! Lulu and Laurie are my two honey baked hams and I feel like we just had to be separated at birth. When I first started blogging, I couldn't tell them apart, so I just called them my two headed woman. Now that I've had the chance to get to meet them up close and personal, I still can't. Kidding!! I feel so privileged to get to hang out with all of you out there any time I want to just by doing a post, reading your comments or visiting your blogs. Thank you from the bottom of my bottom.
