Blogging anniversary #4 coming up!

Posted on by

I can’t believe it’s been 4 years already. The funny thing is we are doing almost the exact thing we did 4 years ago-going to Atlantic City and taking my mom. She is still bothered by sciatica, but takes meds for it.

Here’s my first post. : )

I’m gathering some goodies for you my faithful pals, who kept coming back and those who are also new to my rambling too! I hope you come back to say ‘hello’ now and then.

The goodies-two soft sculpture pumpkins (the larger one has sparkles);

Items I bought from my recent vacation which include: A box of James’ Salt Water taffy; a pumpkin tapestry style placement; a little Lucy look-alike figurine from the Lucy the Elephant attraction in Margate, NJ and a Lucy postcard and a nice bottle of tangerine and olive flower hair condition from Caesars Hotel (ok, the last one was free, but it is really nice).

Added some adorable mini Longwood Gardens cards to the booty!

Also made a special Atlantic City Art Trading Card! My mom gave me the jokers from her new set of playing cards and I used one as it has an Atlantic City scene on the back. You can take a ‘sneak peek’ on Flickr.

August 29th is the last day to try and win the goodies, so please leave a comment HERE. (Don’t be shy now). I must have a way to contact you, if I don’t, I’ll have to pick another winner.

I appreciate your patronage!!! : ) (sounds like a car commercial-doesn’t it?) I appreciate YOU!!!
