As you know we are hosting Shane's (Mr. "S" brother) birthday party on Saturday night!!!
Here goes my BIRTHDAY SHOUT OUT to my #1 "FUTURE" Brother-In-Law:
He would soooooooooooo LOVE this BIRTHDAY WISH!!! I think I need to send him my blog link!
I love to entertain!!! So this will be a total treat!!! One thing though...I have a lot of boxes to get unpacked before they get here!!! =( I will manage!!! I will be back Monday with pictures from the Ho-Down!! That is "TEXAS TALK" for PARTY!!!
VERY IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS..........
The 2008 Secret Ornament Exchange is BACK by popular demand (okay and I begged her to do it again this year)!!!! It's hosted by Julie over at Abbily Ever After!!! Please go join!!! This is the reason I signed up for my blog last year!!! A "real life" best friend of mine (GIANTS FAN) has a blog and I would always check in with her to catch up on the family!!! She blogged about Julie's 2007 Secret Ornament Exchange ~ I seen it and immediately wanted to join!!! At this point I didn't even know what the whole world of blog was all about!!! So to make a L-O-N-G story short I joined in the swap and started a blog!!!
Okay back to the 2008 Secret Ornament Exchange lets beat least years numbers! Julie said we had 38 swappers - hailing from 6 different countries and 12 different U.S. states!!! That ROCKS!!! Last year my swap partner was Steffi at Mausbär´s Nähkiste she is from the wonderful land of Germany. A year later we are still blog friends!!! To me the best part of these swaps/exchanges is making new friends!!!

Congrats to all! I am headed out to visit your links and spread the love. I hope you have a great party this weekend. I look forward to hearing about it.
Also, I am praying for grandma!
Lastly, I am going to check into the ornament swap.
Apparently she is doing really well. She had to have a liver transplant in connection with some issues after her gastric bypass surgery. It was never cancer, I believe. But she is "around" just has to be carefula bout rejection and all.
I am headed over to join that swap as well. I also participate in two other swaps one for fabric (quilting) and one for crochet. They ARE so much fun.
Have a great weekend and enjoy sleeping in late!
