  1. I love the pretty mirror, Jo. How sweet of you to give it away. Now, what can I tell you? I am left handed!! I'm sorry~I am an open book on my blog and am afraid I have no secrets!! I gave it a shot!

  2. Hello Jo... so pretty! I hope you don't regret parting with these tresors later on... you are so generous... okay, now about me... I was a complete tomboy growing up! Yep, my mama dressed me in pretty fufu clothes she made, and always curled my hair, and tied satin ribbons in it... I loved these pretty things too, but I could hit a baseball farther and climb a tree faster than any of the neighborhood boys! Fun post!... xoxo Julie Marie (PS Please disqualify me from your giveaway though as I already won some of your beautiful tresors! Merci!)...

  3. I love that mirror!....
    now...My 2 daughters called me Dragonlady behind my back when they were younger and when they grew up, told me about it..We have a good laugh about it now, and that is why my blog is called Dragonlady..

  4. Hi Joe,
    This mirror is gorgeous and I cannot believe that you are parting with it! Some lucky person is going to own it soon.

    When I'm nervous, I bite my fingernails! I try not to, but sometimes I do it without even knowing I'm doing it! LOL.

    hugs

  5. That is a gorgeous little treasure. Geez. What surprising thing can I say about myself.

    I can draw with my toes? Yea, it's true. My toes can hold a pencil.

    Sigh.

    Pathetic claim to fame! ha!

  6. Josette you are such a generous soul to giveaway this lovely mirror. I would be honored to be included in the drawing. Something you don't know about me:
    I am a fussy and prissy female who does not like dirty or messy anything...yet I love crafting...glue, ink, paint, glitter, etcetera and all of it messy! Go figure...

  7. I can't believe you can part with this beautiful mirror.
    Tell you something about myself.....well, I have never unpacked all the boxes when we moved here 7 years ago. I have a bedroom with all of the boxes in there and have no idea what's in them.....YIKES.
    Happy Pink Saturday, Char

  8. Jo your giveaways are lovely! Congrats to Gerry on her big win. I know she is excited.
    Since I am a open book on my blog it is hard to think of something no one knows.
    Since I was a little girl I always thought that I was really born in Maine not Texas. Silly since I have never been there but have always wanted to go.
    Love
    Maggie

  10. Ooh such a very pretty mirror. How interestingly poetic that you ask to tell us something about ourselves and you are giving away a mirror! I will tell you that once I surprised my husband for his birthday by showing up at his workplace wearing a pink gorilla suit.

    Hope your weekend is a happy one.

  12. How generous to have a giveaway a week! Let's see....something about me....I worked at a Convent during my summer breaks as a teenager and got to meet Mother Theresa one summer when she came to visit.
    Have a wonderful weekend.

  16. Hi Jo

    It's me Tracy at It's an Average Life...about 7 weeks ago you left a lovely comment on my blog, the one about Paying it Forward. You didn't specify about whether you wanted to be featured, but I am going to feature your blog tomorrow on my Pay it Forward series. I hope that is okay!

    BTW lovely mirror. My grandmother had two antique mirrors from france that she left to me, they were so beautiful, but I passed them onto my nieces, thought that they would enjoy having something that belonged to their great grandmother as I have the memories, and they do not.

    What a lovely thing for you to do!

    Cheers

  17. Jo, this is one
    gorgeous mirror!!
    Someone is going
    to be very lucky,
    indeed. Okay, here
    is my surprise. My
    first job out of
    college was selling
    copiers and memory
    writers for Xerox!
    Ugh! It involved
    door to door {offices}
    selling and cold calls
    on the telephone. I
    only lasted there a
    year and a half before
    moving on. The economy
    was bad and I needed a
    job, even though I knew
    at the time in my heart
    that it was a poor match
    for me. No writing, there,
    except proposals and contracts.
    Wish we could age backwards!
    Thank you for the chance to
    win this lovely piece.
    xx Suzanne

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right after the war...when I was quite young.  Memories are almos

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
