I also went to bed at 10:45, and boy was I happy when I awoke 10 hours later, ready to start the new year right instead of being tired 🙂ReplyCancel

happy 2010!!! enjoy and wish you the best!ReplyCancel

Love it!

I've never strung popcorn before. I should one of these days. Was it fun?ReplyCancel

are you guys traveling for the holidays? Hope Beanie is getting psyched for Santa! It has been so nice to encourage good behavior this year to threaten an informative e-mail to Santa! haha! Your tree is so pretty:)ReplyCancel

Hey Miggy,
I'm finally done. Done with what you ask? Some of what I had intended to do for the 24-hour art-athon that turned into 3 months 🙂 SO, if you're interested and wanna check it out, it's just on my blog at www[dot]sometimessasmine[dot]blogspot[dot]com

Thanks again for the inspiration!ReplyCancel

Aw nuts, how often does the random generator pick 1. Oh well.

Of course, for my sister and her two sweet little girls (you know why she needs a little cheer this year).ReplyCancel

Great idea. For the single mom in the neighborhood who has 5 daughters, the youngest just 10 months.ReplyCancel

My sister's youngest would love this. They have both had a long and dreadful year.

Great idea!ReplyCancel

Best giveaway ever!

This would be for my brother and sister-in-law's little girl. They are both still in school living off grants and student loans. This would be a fantastic gift for her.ReplyCancel

Wow! I don't know if this is kosher, but my daughter would LOVE this. My husband is in school and we are living off of loans…money is very tight. It would make my creative daughter so happy!ReplyCancel

holy awesomeness! this would be for my friend who had to leave their house due to financial difficulties. they have always taken good care of us. her little girl would love it!ReplyCancel

After reading all the comments I am feeling sort of sad, so here is one more to add. My brother is leaving for his second tour of duty in Iraq come Jan, leaving behind his family. My nieces and Nephews would love, love, love thisReplyCancel

I'm entering for my good friend who just moved back to there area only to have her husband lose his job a week later. She has two girls who love to play, and one little boy. She does the best she can at having cute things with a small income. They would be elated!ReplyCancel

I would give this to my son's (4yo) best friend. She's had a tough year for such a little person!ReplyCancel

I would definitely give it to my sister-in-law and her family. She has three little kids and her husband is going to school, so needless to say, they don't have tons of money…but, they definitely make do with what they have and always seem to give to others.

What a wonderful blessing you will give some little girl. And I have the perfect one…..she's 4 years old and her parents can't afford a lot and certainly nothing as beautiful as this!ReplyCancel

For my niece and nephews who's parents are having a hard year $$ wise. It would cheer them up this holiday season.ReplyCancel

This is great! Love your tents…by the way. My sisters girls would love love love it! And it would be much appreciated!ReplyCancel

This looks like a great gift for my brother's kids! He just finished grad school and, as you can imagine, they are really strapped for money this christmas. They would really appreciate this!ReplyCancel

I'm entering for a friend who just had her first baby this year, an adorable little girl. They've got a rough road in front of them, and I'd love to cheer them up a bit.ReplyCancel

My sister had to move in with her mother so 17 month old is bunking with Dad and Mom. I would be great for her to have a little play place for her things….ReplyCancel

I am entering for a friend whose family has had a horrible year due to medical issues.

For my cousin who has two little girls that would love it. They are up to their eyeballs in student loans, pregnant with baby number three, and still a few more years to go.ReplyCancel

Okay, that's awesome. No, I've never made that mistake, but Paul Newman was hot, even as an old man. Just wanted to point that out (in case you didn't know, which seems nearly impossible to me).ReplyCancel

HA! This was great! I laugh because I thought the exact same thing… glad you clarified 🙂ReplyCancel

Thanks, Miggy!ReplyCancel
