still too lazy to snap a picture, the giveaways are still blind...that's more fun anyway!
so today i will have 3 giveaways, one in the morning, afternoon and evening (need to be sensitive to my overseas friends).
the first person to post a comment will get something in the mail whether they want it or not...LOL!!
no worries i promise i will not send a dirty diaper or banana peel...hee, hee (although i do seem to have an abundance of both in my house on most days)
Hey! Did I really make it? Am I the first?
(Blog stalker, here! hahaha)

OH PICK ME PICK ME Please. Love You Donna he he!!
Posted by: Noella | December 29, 2005 at 10:54 AM
you're a nut, donna. I can just see you sticking a banana peel in a ziploc to mail to somebody....with a cute little tag attached, of course! ;)
Posted by: april | December 29, 2005 at 10:55 AM
Dirty diapers and banana peels- sounds just like my place! My hubby said to me the other day, "I can't wait until the day we have no more sippy cups around." And I am thinking, "The day is fast approaching when there will be no more sippy cups around." I guess that's the difference between Mommys and Daddys. We live in the same house with the same kids- but our lives are sometimes worlds apart. That's the irony of parenting, I guess. Enjoy every moment of it...and remember a day is coming when there will be no more diapers to change. From the looks of your 'Night before Christmas' post it looks like your family is bursting with blessings and goodness. Happy New Year too!
Posted by: Jody | December 29, 2005 at 10:55 AM
You know, you don't have to send a dirty diaper, but a clean one sure would make for cute packaging!!!
Posted by: Stacy | December 29, 2005 at 10:57 AM

Keep feeding those kids the bananas and there won't be any *dirty* diapers in the house! Sorry, couldn't resist. We have the same problem here -- what is it with bananas right now. We've gone through two dozen in the past week at least!
Posted by: Suzanne | December 29, 2005 at 01:02 PM
Donna,
I can't wait for your class to start next week. It's a new adventure for all of us but I'm sure of one thing it will be fun! Thanks for being you! Happy New Year!
Posted by: Pam Dean | December 29, 2005 at 01:07 PM
I *heart* garbage!
Posted by: Candy | December 29, 2005 at 01:09 PM
Aaaah, diapers and sippy cups. These words are really getting to me today. Today is a sad/happy day at my house. Though I haven't had diapers or sippy cups in my house for awhile, it has finally hit me--I never will again! For today--my baby is 5. 5! I am so blessed to have her growing up so wonderfully--she is truly a sweet soul, but 5? How can it be? Oh well, off to Narnia--I was just checking in to see what was up while the kids played. Now back to our special (though somewhat bittersweet) day.
Posted by: Julie Marshall | December 29, 2005 at 01:12 PM
Now ther's a challenge! I would love to see what kind of an album you could make with dirty diapers and banana peels! hee hee Glad you had a good holiday! Trying to get my life in order here so when class starts in a few days I will be raring to go! I am doing Stacy's free project this afternoon (assuming a napping toddler) to get me in a scrappin' mood. I need to update my blog too.
Posted by: sharonc | December 29, 2005 at 01:13 PM
Thought I'd "go for it"...I'm always up for something new to work with! Hope you have a wonderful day. Looking forward to the class starting next month. Thanks... I am a Blog Addict/Lurker! Sharon
Posted by: Sharon | December 29, 2005 at 01:14 PM
Can't wait for Jan 1st. I know it is wishing the time away but I think it is going to be so fun!!! Thanks for opportunity!
