Is it friday yet?

If you haven't entered my first Christmas giveaway yet, you should hurry up : it will end tomorrow at noon ( central time !!!). Enter here !

I haven't told you yet but you need to get your disco ball out of your closet because we have a happy dance !!!!!!!!!!!! I finished it a while ago actually: on friday night but haven't had time to show it to you because of my little sick people ... But here it is:

It was great to stitch like all the Lanartes ! It took me less than a month to stitch. Of course, it looks even better in real ! Now I have nothing left to stitch because I didn't have time to check what I could stitch next but I have a little idea : I hope I could show you tomorrow!

The reason why I didn't really stitch is there: two sick kids and one, Pierre, who got sicker than the other one. Because Pierre is in remission, he ended up having a blood test (which he didn't like at all even though he got more blood test in his life than most adult in their whole life.) The result was good but he was not better. I ended up being very very worry ... Only today he was able to go back to school but he told me he felt tired after a while. I tried to give him vitamins but he's so picky that it's hard to find the right drink to hide the taste of the vitamins. While he was sick, he took over the sofa and the other ones ( me included ) had to find another spot to watch TV or stitch ...

Look at how Blogger can be ironic: while Meari was fighting the snow in her driveway (and won the battle ) , Blogger thought it would be nice to match the word verifcation to her personal life:

Debi entered her dog to a Hallmark contest: please, help her to get this cute dog up on the votes ! I did already! Here is the cutie !!!

Thanks to everybody who have already entered the giveaway: I'm going to check the blogs of the persons who put the link on their blog ! I'm going to also prepare the names for the drawing so an innoncent hand can pick the winner !!! Please check your email tomorrow at the time the giveaway end so I can get your address and forward it to the company. Hope you get before Christmas !!!
