Thankful! In this season of Thanksgiving, I have a lot for which I am thankful. I have a great family and great friends, and I have this blog! Today, marks my 100th post. Ta Daaaa! I am thankful that I have survived blogging to this point, and I am looking forward to my next 100 posts. I am thankful for all of you that come read the stuff I put out there, and I am especially thankful for the comments you leave. They make my day! In honor of this auspicious occasion and to show my appreciation I have devised a little contest.
For what are you playing? There will be 2 winners. The winner of category 1 (see below) will win a $50.00 gift certificate to Williams-Sonoma to help with your holiday entertaining. The winner of category 2...the raffle will win something fun and fabulous from Cha Cha Designs. You can see pictures of some of there things by clicking the link or looking at my post from yesterday.
The rules are as follows:
1. The first way you can enter is to name a nail polish after me. Leave your suggestion in the comments section. You can enter this way only ONE time. You can also link to this post from you own blog and leave another ONE suggestion in your post. Please make sure it is only one suggestion in each of these places or I will have to disqualify your entries. I will pick the best suggestion as the winner!
2. Not feeling all that creative? You can enter for a second chance prize by just leaving a generic comment. One generic comment per player please. I will then do a raffle drawing from these entries for a second prize. Yes, if you have entered in category 1 you still can enter in category 2 as well.
3. Entries must be received by 9pm CST Friday November 16, 2007. Winners announced Monday November 19, 2007.
Thanks for reading, thanks for commenting, thanks for playing. Good luck!
How about shoemama, yes please.

Here is my generic comment for entry into the raffle! Loved your gift ideas in yesterday's blog. Can't believe it's almost that time of year again--we're hurtling towards Christmas at warp speed. Haven't even ordered my Thanksgiving turkey yet. I'm thinking of the nail polish name--maybe it will be Get-Arrested Red which a friend dubbed the color of my husband's Corvette! I'm nor sure that suits you, though, so I need more pondering time.

This is a good one, New Diva. I'm having a little trouble being witty under this kind of pressure, especially considering that I am a nail neglecter.
Going to have to put a little more thought into my entry but, for now, this will be my generic comment ;)

Here's your nail color:
Queen of Hearts in honor of your Halloween costume.

I should probably be disqualified since in some universe we are twins...not.in.this.one because I am twice your size. We have similar taste in friends, lunch and neighborhoods. Whenever I introduce you to people (which is something I've had the pleasure of doing quite often I tell them...see how amazing she is on the outside? That's nothing. On the inside she is absolutley spectacular.
You are one of my favorite people and I'm thrilled that you blog. Congratulations on your 100th blog.
Name for your nail color: Republican Red with Rock Star Glitter.

I am so bad at these things, but for $50 of W&S I'll do it. How about Sold, Bought, & Processed Pearl? Get it?
The movie Say Anthing: I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.
Sigh. I know.

And now for my generic comment: Yay! 100! Woohoo!

Manic Manolo
Mmm- maybe I'd love that to be MY nail polish name!
(and I hope people read that "Manolo" as in Manolo Blahnik and NOT Mannilow as in Barry Mannilow. Ick.
