Happy first week in December friends!
I am so sorry I didn't get to spotlight any posts last week or respond to your comments. It is with a very heavy heart that I let you know that Mr. B's father passed away early Thanksgiving morning. We are thankful that he did not have to suffer long and that he is now reunited with family. We were so lucky to be able to spend quality time with him before he passed.
On a happier note, we are now just days (hours?) away from welcoming a new grandbaby into the family. My daughter-in-law's due date is the 6th and it appears this baby is going to make us wait until then, if not longer. Keep an eye on my Facebook page because you know once that baby gets here, their will be some shouting, whooping and hollering going on from this proud grandmom!!
Now how about a party to get December started right?
And....since it is the first party of the month....it's ANYTHING GOES this week!
Last week's most viewed came from my buddy Tuula who blogs at
Tuula shared with us her precious vintage tart tin Christmas ornaments.
Thank you Tuula! Be sure to grab yourself an I've Been Featured button and display it proudly!
Now on to the party!
