The blog list shows blogs I'm currently following. You can click on them and they'll take you to that blog.
Last week I discovered Blog Hops.
Click on the Holiday Lane, Pillow blog hop button to join the fun.
It will take you to a link of bloggers who took the pattern shown here and made it their own. It is fun to see the different ways people interpret this pattern.
One of my favorite pillows so far comes from Linda at http://buzzingandbumbling.blogspot.com/
Her pillow comes with a poem and I'm sure it will be a family treasure for years to come.
I copied her post here to give you a taste of what the hop has to offer. Enjoy!
Reindeer Games
Twas the night
before Christmas and all down the lane...
The reindeer were
playing their games....quite insane!
Poor Santa had
just started out down the flue
when "middle aged
spread" made it too hard to do!
So there he
stuck fast while the reindeer, in glee,
Were as naughty
and mischievous as they could be!
Prancer hung over
the eaves for a wreath
While Dancer
looked on in sheer disbelief!
Donner and
Blitzen and Cupid played "Tag"
While Comet, how awful,
dumped Santa's big
bag!
Poor Rudolph sat
quietly, shining his nose,
And all of the
others - well,
goodness! - Who
knows!
While children were dreaming all snug in their
beds,
Visions of bedlam filled Santa's poor
head!
When morning came
finally to Holiday
Lane
Nobody dared fuss or even
complain.
They pulled poor old Santa right out of that fix
By removing some mortar
and quite a few bricks!
The reindeer had all flown back home quite
ashamed
And knew that for all that they'd done they'd be
blamed.
But Santa made up for
the mess when he
gifted
Each person, who smiled
as his spirits were
lifted.
and then he was gone
without leaving a trace!

Welcome to blogging! Glad you found me through pinterest...what better way:) Cute pillow too. I hope you enjoy the newbie party and be sure to meet some new friends from the list. They will be happy you did too. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I'm so excited that you left a comment on my blog I'm hyperventilating! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. Ronda
DeleteHi Ronda! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog and your lovely comment -- and for the follow! I've returned the favor with pleasure! One of the things I enjoy most about blog hops is the opportunity to find new bloggers I might not have come across any other way!! One thing you might want to change -- you're set up as a no-reply blogger. That means when you leave a comment on my blog, I can't respond directly to it via e-mail. A lot of bloggers count on being able to do that for giveaways and such. It's a really easy setting to change -- I'd be happy to point you in the direction of instructions on how to change it if you need them!! Hugs! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Denise, so excited to have you follow me and THANK you so much for your helpful feedback. Yes please point me to the instructions on how to change the no reply setting and any other areas you think would help. I went to settings but couldn't figure out what to change. My email is todrwalker@yahoo.com.
