OMG, I Found Someone Like Me!!!!!!

I have a new follower. Her name is Teresa and her blog is Teresa's Treasures. I am so excited that she found me because I finally found someone that is as passionate about Christmas decorating as me. Well, I think Teresa is more passionate but I'm a near second. Instead of writing about my first day of school I feel the need to give her a shout out.

First I want to thank Teresa for the compliment on my blog design. However, the genius behind it is my good friend Jen. She has her own blog design blog with many helpful tips that I'm always too scared to try so Jen helps me.

Currently, Teresa is having a giveaway on her blog. Although it would be awesome to win I wanted to direct y'all to her blog because she shares the same obsession love for Christmas decorating. Just to give you a small summary of my obsession love I'll share a few things.

• If I could live in "Christmas Town" forever I would.
• When I lived in San Antonio I would put my decor up early November because we had the entire week off for Thanksgiving and I went home for that. I HAD to have my tree up when I got back because that's traditionally when you put it up.
  
• The decor came back down mid January. My birthday is on the 17th and I always had parties so I HAD to take it down.
• At one point I thought about leaving it up year round and decorate it according to the current holiday.
• Every time I moved or last May when I was looking for a house to buy I can only get a place with a "Christmas tree window".
• I have 3 different dressings for my tree. I must have a theme every year.

Well those are just a few. I could keep going. And if I could do Teresa's job I so would. Although I'd totally be a beginner.

So please hop on over and check out Teresa's blog.

Drum Roll Please!!!!!!!!!!

And the winner is.....

Yay!

I want to thank everyone for playing. I enjoyed the scavenger hunt and I've found some great, new blogs. Hopefully Jen and I will have a round 2 or cook up a whole new contest in the future. Head over to Jen's blog to see who won her blog make over.

I Promise

I just wanted to reassure everyone that Jen and I will be drawing for our grand prize winners of our FFFF Scavenger Hunt this week. We had every intention of doing so today but I had a follow-up doctor's appointment and both of us were pretty beat after our first day back from spring break. We promise to do it this week. Im actually really eager to see who the winner is.

Fresh Flip Flop Find - Day 7

I want to thank Jen for helping me yesterday. She really saved my behind on that one. I'm sad to say today is our final day of the scavenger hunt for a few reasons.

Day 6's question is: Which blogger might have had a run in with me because we were in the same city at the same time during spring break?
