300 Followers, WOW!




I have not been diligent about posting lately. For me, blog posting is incredibly time consuming and I have been incredibly busy lately. I am volunteering my time at school helping with book fairs and a myriad of other projects. I am helping with the wine tasting event again and in charge of all of the decor... I have to fit in my work-outs and am trying all sorts of new exercise programs and classes. I am a bit obsessed, especially since I have eaten twice my weight in peanut butter and chocolate candy over the past couple of days! I have meetings at school regarding my youngest and his possible diagnosis with ADHD. (Thank you all, btw, for you notes and emails and comments and suggestions. I feel quite educated in the matter as my older son has it as do I.) I am also trying to get the memoir off the ground, keep my house in order, all while looking for a full-time job. All of these require my full attention and yet I cannot really give my full attention to any of it! Most days I am completely overwhelmed by everything.

Oh well. It will all fall into place. It always does, doesn't it? We must just persevere and keep focusing on the big picture and keeping our chins up!

And I have just noticed that I have 300 followers. Wow, 300! And so, because I love a good celebration, we must have some sort of give away... I will put my thinking cap on. And I will keep you posted!

A Giveaway For all lovers of Lilly and Libations!

... and one more thing before I go... because so many of you are so incredibly supportive and kind I have decided to host a giveaway for my new friends... I think you'll like it. I know you'll like it if you like Lilly & a lovely libation!
I am giving away a cocktail shaker and 2 sets of Lilly cocktail napkins! I bought the napkins on a whim about a month ago as I loved them so, but realized that the colors did not go with our decor inside or out. I decided that instead of exchanging them at Swoozie's I would hang on to them. Packaged with something else they would make a lovely hostess gift. Then earlier today I was rummaging through the basement and found not one, but THREE cocktail shakers. (We have one upstairs already.) I know we enjoy a little drink here and there, but 4 seemed a bit over the top. As soon as I saw the shaker I knew what I would do with it and my napkins... have a little bloggie giveaway for my new friends! I know so many of you are in the throes of summer and bedlam and chaos and everything that is children and teenagers. I would have you all over if I could. Wouldn't that be so much fun?! But I can't... so instead I am giving away the cocktail shaker and the Lilly napkins. And here's what you can do to win...
1. For an easy entry leave me a comment, telling me how you will put your shaker and napkins to use.
2. Become a follower and you will get an extra entry!
3. Blog about my giveaway and you will get a total of three entries!
4. Create a drink for me and give it a cute name and you'll get 4 entries!
Have fun ladies and cheers and when I get home this evening I will report about our trip!



(Giveaway ends 8pm Friday July 10th)
