When I wasn't paying attention - I somehow got 100 followers. You are all fabulous, and I decided that I should have a giveaway to celebrate! Many thanks to those of you that not only read, but comment on my posts. Let me also encourage any blog stalkers to come out of hiding now. :-)
While I'm at it, let me share that I won Kathie's 100th follower giveaway! She is awesome and I feel so honored to have won "Your the Balm" lip balm and Strawberry Angel cupcake soap. Both items are from Margarita Bloom and smell heavenly!
What can YOU win, you ask? Vanna, show them the giveaway booty....
A quick reference deck of summer cocktails. Drink up and enjoy long after summer is over!
It's just not a giveaway if I don't include something from Burt's Bees.
A pretty green journal with Queen Anne's Lace pattern...
...and its matching pen.
A cute notepad that you probably can't read (sorry!). It says "She packed up her potential and all she had learned, grabbed a cute pair of shoes and headed out to change a few things."
The opportunity to wash away your sins in one handy pak! (No, I'm not mocking religion; I just thought it was cute!)
A magnet with one of my favorite quotes.
My standard giveaway rules apply with one little twist.
You get ONE entry for commenting.
You get ONE entry for following me.
You get ONE entry for blogging about my giveaway or putting it on your sidebar.
There are two ways to get super special bonus entries: A. If a commenter tells me that YOU sent them to me! or B. You share with the group YOUR favorite quote! (It can be about love, life, work...ANYTHING! A big hug for Jane, from whom I stole...or um, borrowed this idea.)
All entries must be in by midnight EST on Wednesday, August 26th. A winner will be announced on Thursday (or very soon thereafter).

And here is our preferred quote:
"There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face" Ben Williams (that is for our little new sister)
AND:
"A dog is the only thing on Earth that loves you more than he loves himself" Josh Billings ( From PACO)
AND:
"Dogs 10 commandments......
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don’t be angry with me for long and don’t lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainments, but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don’t understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I’m not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can’t bear to watch. Don’t make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so" (FROM MILO!!!!!!)
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm....Can we're the winner???!

Sweet kisses and licks and have a great great weekend!!!!!

Adele - the mummy is a dappel dachshund and she is almost 2 years old, her birthday is coming soon.
Vincent & Bella - the son & daughter of Adele. Their daddy is a pomeranian owned by Selby's second cousin. So both of them look a mix between the mummy and daddy but Vincent is more like his mummy and Bella is more like her daddy.
