My 100th Postday

Did you get it - it's not my 100th birthday, but it's my 100th Postday because it's my 100th post and I had to name it something fantastic...........ok well anyway, since that funny flopped this post can only get better right :)

I decided to steal my friend Jenelle's idea and give away something to celebrate this momentous occasion and decided that some "Dena Candy" as Riley has named them would be just the treat. I'll also include a few handmade cards and envelopes just for fun - but I haven't made them yet so I can't post a picture of those. Maybe I'll post them when we pick the winner though.........all you need to do is leave a comment to be entered in our drawing by Tuesday at 4pm.

Yeah, for Rachel! Too bad I have been a very bad blogger lately and didn't comment in time.

I would love to have dinner at your place soon! I miss you mucho! Do you and Joey always have family dinners on Sunday? My boys and I are headed your way (birthday parties at 2:00--Tristan and Justin)...maybe we could go out to eat? Unless your parents object. Love ya!

P.S. Your ring finger is longer than your pointer finger? Hmmm...I don't think I knew that. What a freak of nature you are!
