Everyone is feeling better and back to their regular activities. I can’t believe I didn’t come down with the virus…

came into contact with the patients. I might just have the cleanest house in the United States…hehe!!! Just in
time to start decorating for Christmas!!!

needed to come home with me…and then sent out to one of you!!! I just love these little gingerbread men
mugs…there are four of them and they all are featuring a slightly different design. The hot chocolate pot is so
cute…don’t you think? Red ceramic with the cute little hot chocolate written on the side!!! It comes with a
battery operated mixer on the top…so handy!!! I had to include the peppermint hot chocolate…it is to die for…a
favorite around my house during the holidays!!!
I want to thank all of you again for your friendship and support during my little break!!! Blogging is the best!!!
I had so much fun with the last giveaway and am looking forward to seeing the results of this one!!! I hope

I'm so happy you are all feeling better! And it's soooooo good you didn't get it! Earlier this year my youngest came down with a nasty virus. I sanitized, cleaned, scrubbed, washed my hands until they were getting raw spots on them.... and we all still got it! So it's a blessing you stayed well!! Thank you for such a wonderful giveaway! Of course I am a follower and I am heading over to post about the giveaway now! Thanks!!
-April

I too have been away and have missed all of you!
I love your give-aways! You always have such cute stuff!
Have a wonderful blessed Sunday...donna
Good Morning Cathy! I'm so glad you didn't get the virus too. My husband had it and we were all just holding our breaths. Does your house smell like bleach and cleansers? That's what I do.
Your give away is amazing! You are so generous with the Williams Sonoma goodies. :)
Oh I just read the instructions. I will post about this right now....so I won't forget. :)
Glad everyone is well again at your house. I am so afraid of the flu hitting here. When my kids were younger and would get sick I would get them over it, but then get whatever they had myself {usually a stomach virus}. This set is just adorable! I love the gingerbread man mugs and I have never seen a pot just for hot chocolate! Too cute!
Glad you're back and glad the patients are on the mend! You sweet thing. After taking care of the patients you needed a little retail therapy, didn't you? LOL! Great give-away! Gingerbread men always make me smile. :)
Hi Cathy, so glad your family is feeling better! A clean house...what could be better?
Your giveaway is lovely and generous. I just love gingerbread men.
Hugs, Barb ♥

great giveaway....and I already follow your blog :)
Gosh, for the past week, my posts aren't showing up. A few minutes ago, I posted, hit comment, and got a strange message -- probably no stranger than the one I wrote. Leave it to a blonde to mess things up. Simple things.
I will try again.
Yes, I'm a follower -- can you imagine if I were the leader?
As soon as I update my blog -- which HAS to be this week, because Shari is expecting me to do so. I'm only a week late -- I will link back to you. :( How hard can that be? Maybe I'll dye my hair and try. :)~
This is a SWEET givaway, Cathy.
I'm happy all is well in your family.
Love Ya,
Deb

Thank you for your kind encouragement Cathy! I still feel like I have so much more to go though. Sigh...:)
You and your family will really enjoy the soup. It's perfect for immunity defense and tasty too.
Glad you all are doing better! We are getting hammered with the virus here, some schools have had so many out with flu, teachers and students, that they have closed the schools.
What a lovely Give Away! I will become a follower and will try to get a post out before tomorrow. Love your blog, will be back!! :o)
What a great give-away! It would go perfect with my kitchen theme this year of peppermint candy and gingerbread. I have been stalking and gathering the little peppermint twist salad plates from Pier1 to add to my collection. They are sold out almost every where so I had to drive across town, which I hate to do, to get four of them. Now if I can find one more and win your darling give away I will be all set ;)
So glad to hear that the bug stayed away from you and that the rest of the family is doing better.
Have a great day my friend.
Hugs,
Sue
This is a wonderful giveaway. It would be the perfect present for the person that "has everything" and is hard to buy for!

Hi Cathy, Thanks for checking out the christmas decorating! I figured I would be sore from doing that tree, but I'm not! I think the extra ribbon and ornaments really helped. They had just moved in last year and got a late start.
You can e-mail me about the custom frame when you have time.
Looks like you're fixing to do the drawing!! You are soooo generous!!! Thanks again for your sweet compliments! Kristen
I just found your blog and love it! Sorry to hear you have been sick.
