Oh wouldn’t that be great if I could wave a magic wand and grant all of the wishes that you so graciously shared here on my blog? If I can’t maybe Lulu can :) Just an excuse to share this photo with you, and how incredibly cute she is when she is wrapped in her blanket (courtesy of Sean as he loves to tuck her in when it’s cold) She’s like a little babushka. There is a great dane under there in case you were wondering. And also if you look in the top left hand corner of the photo, you see two tiny black paws...Riley. He grants wishes too, by the way.

But really you’ve got me thinking...I think the best part of the giveaway was reading all of your wishes. And I found them so similar not only to each other but also to my own wishes. Obviously great and kind minds think alike :) or at least we all visit the same blogs!  I was so touched reading everyone’s comments, that I thought there must be a way that if we work together we can support one another in making our wishes come true...so I’m thinking about how I and the blog I have going here can be a part of that...

Thank you SO much, again, for sharing your wishes here.  And for my 4 calendar winners, Rachel, Gina, Charlotte and Kelly, I sent you all emails earlier today. Congratulations!!!!

happy winter solstice ~ I can feel myself gently slipping into the pull of holiday down time...
