Hi Ladies,
I've got two things going on today, first my Thankful Thursday post, and an exciting give-a-way at the Cafe. So I'll start out by giving God praise for the countless good things He continues to do in my life daily.
♥ I'm so thrilled to announce that on Tuesday the contractor and crew finally concluded our renovations! This has been a long drawn out project since Hurricane Gustav hit us on Sept. 1st. The Lord was so good to send us a group of Christian men to do this job. Now it's time to put our house back together once again.
♥ We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with our family, and as always it was so nice to see everyone. I'm still stuffed.
♥ I'm thankful that this coming weekend I'll have the opportunity to get together with many of my friends from back home. I'll be hosting my annual "Christmas Tea". This is a tradition I started over 12 years ago. It's always the perfect way to start our Christmas season. I promise to share some pictures.
♥ Finally, I'm grateful for all of you who take time to stop by and leave such kind comments. Gosh, it's been such a delight to get to know you.
Now, let me share with you what's going on over at the Internet Cafe. Today is the Cafe Holiday Expo and we'll get into the Christmas spirit by giving away some amazing gifts.

You'll need to hop over there and check it out!
I thought I'd give somethings that I really enjoy myself, cologne. Yes, I'm a person who just loves different scents. If you visited my home you would smell the aroma of candles or oils burning. You would also see a nice collection of colognes proudly displayed on my dresser.
One of my favorite colognes is Happy Heart by Clinique. I choose this as my give-a-way because it's light, fresh, and it puts me in a really good mood.
I also want to bless someone with a pre-made Christmas Scrapbook. This is made by Hallmark and it is really nice! I made one last year and it came out beautiful. This is perfect for those of you who love the look of a scrapbook, but just don't have the time to make one.
Now, to win these gifts, all you have to do in the comment section is let me know what your favorite cologne is. I'll enter your name in for a chance to win these gifts. Yes, it's that simple. I'll see you over at the Cafe!

I know you are so thankful for the rennovations to be done--ugh the mess of a hurricane! I wanted to also mention that the post you did about your friend, Tammy, who just lost her son, Nick was very..very touching. I visit the page often, and yes, she's amazing!! Oh by the way, I love "Happy"~~so fresh and so clean smelling.
my favorite is victoria's secret dreams or angels or something like that. i don't remember... i haven't bought any in 6 years!!
Hi, Susan! Thanks for coming over and visiting my blog today. :) I love the colors of your blog - so appealing!

That's great that the construction is done! I know you will be glad to get back to a "normal schedule", whatever that means.

Your renos are finally complete? Whooohoo! You must be so pleased. :~D
Your Christmas Tea sounds lovely. Enjoy! I've held a couple of mother/daughter Christmas teas that were truly memorable.
My favorite cologne is by Tommy Bahama. But let someone else win your giveaway, because my husband has been so generous to me with sweet smelling things. I have so many favorites in my collection (eg. Eternity Moment, Hermes) and it will take me a lifetime to use them all up!
Love you! :~D
Cody Musk ...... OMG.......... wonderful........ then there is White Shoulders.......... and Chanel # 5......... The oldies but the goodies.............. Love perfume!

Wind Song....my husband gave it to me years and years ago and have loved it ever since.
Continuing to pray!
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Susan,
I am sure it is wonderful to finally have the construction underway just in time for the tea. :-) I have hosted a few tea parties - they are so much fun!
My favorite cologne is either Chanel No. 5 or Gloria Vanderbilt.
Hi Susan ~ Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for visiting my blog and for the kind comment you left!

Oh I am a scent lover as well. I had some Clinique Happy at one time and I bet this is just as good. Thanks for the giveaway my friend.
Hugs.
Kim
Bless your dear heart.
My favorite scent is Love Spell by Victoria's Secret
Oh when we were in college, my hubby, then friend, wore Old Spice Musk and it drove me bonkers! He let me borrow his jacket one night about mine was stolen and I slept with it because it smelled so good!!!
Thank you so much for your comments about my TT post. They made me smile and blessed me. Your post is awesome! What wonderful things to be thankful for - not the least of which is getting that work done. I can't imagine going through all of that but am glad to read you get to put your house back together. YAY! Also - love the idea of a Christmas Tea. LOVE it!!! I think it is an awesome way to bring friends together for some simple, relaxing time over the holidays. I may have to start one of my own. Thank you for sharing the idea!!! Blessings to you and... my favorite perfume right now is Today by Avon. I switch all the time and I'd love to win this giveaway!! Try something new - always good in the perfume department. :)
I like "Falling in Love" and "Amazing Grace" from Philosophy.
I love Pleasures by Estee Lauder. My husband even wears the mens version of that very same cologne and it smells really good too!
Hello, and thank you for your kind, encouraging comments.
Happy Heart is my my daughter's favorite perfume. I have promised her a bottle for her birthday. I tend to change perfumes between Winter and Summer. I have been wearing Lancome's Tresor up until the end of November. See what December brings...Thank you, it's a great giveaway.
Hey Sus! What a fun giveaway! OK, my favorite is Blue by Ralph Lauren. My mom found it and said she thought of me when she first smelled it. I've worn it ever since. :)
and you need to stop back by my blog regarding the tree topper. You have 3 choices to choose from. And a dove isn't one of them. HEHEHE

Can't wait to see your Christmas Tea pics! I love the idea of tea, but have never actually done one.
Gosh, I haven't bought myself any cologne/perfume in (literally) years! Reckon I really ned to get out more, since I've never heard of Happy Heart or many of the ones mentioned in comments. LOL! My all-time forever favourite scent is Shalimar by Guerlain. It's hard to find out here in the boonies, but I'm still nursing a bottle I bought several years ago... (which has probably been off for quite a while now). Oh, my, I'm pitiful, aren't I? lol!
Have a JESUS-filled day! ^i^
Hey Susan...
Alfred Sung is my favorite. Sign me up! Susan, I've tried very hard to get you to send me your mailing address for the Epic book you won over at my blog. Please email me your snail mail. If you don't want the book, let me know. I will pass it on to someone else.
Happy Advent.
peace~elaine
Ilove Nieges by Lise Watier-lovely light floral scent.

I don't remember how to spell it and I'm too tired to run downstairs to check... Hypnose. It's the first perfume in a long time that I fell in love with. I bought it last year and am about 3/4 of the way through the bottle. I love it! I wear it almost daily.
Thank you for sharing your thankful heart with us, Susan. Thank God for His many blessings upon you. Thanks for your visit recently. It was good to hear from you. I have not been able to do active blogging and visiting, and I missed you and many of our friends. Take care and may God bless you always.
my fave of all faves is defintely ralph lauren's ralph. i LOVE IT!!! i love all of the clinique stuff, too!!!!
Clinique Happy is my favorite, believe it or not!!!
(I am currently living in Indonesia but am a US resident and have a US mailing address.)
My favorite is Lovely by SJP. It's the perfect mixture of musk and sweet for me!
I'm really enjoying reading your blog! :)
My favorite is Curve. Great give a way.
My favourite used to be Animale, but for the past few years what I've really loved is the scent of frankincense & myrr anointing oil!
Love your header Susan!!
YOU ARE A BLESSED GRAM!!!
PERFUME???..... I have never tried your clinique but LOVE the name! HAPPY! Now THAT sounds like it just puts a SPRING in your step huh?
I wear AMAZING GRACE... by Philosophy... everyday! Unless of course I win yours; which case, I'll smell HAPPY! heehee
BLESSINGS SUSAN...
Holykisses,
Lea
I like Shania - that's Shania Twain's fragrance she put out a few years ago. I also like Cherry Blossoms by Bath and Body Works
I actually can't wear perfumes, they give me a headache. :(
But I'd love to enter for the scrapbook!
My favorite perfume is AV by Adrienne Vittadini. Thanks for the contest!
cherierj(at)yahoo(dot)com
I almost NEVER wear perfume of any kind, but my hubby's favorite on me (and that's all that counts, isn't it?) is Obsession.
I have some Vanilla scent (don't remember the name) that I like, but don't wear much because of hubby's sensitivity to smell. SO, really I just want the scrapbook. I would have to give away the cologne if I won it, which is fine, but if you draw me, perhaps you could draw another name to give the cologne? (Or just send it and I'll find a regift recipient. :) )
I know you are glad to be over with construction! We have been doing renovations ourselves for 2 years now.
I like Sweet Pea by Bath and Body and Journey by Mary Kay and I'm embarrassed to say Fantasy by Britney Spears. Hey my husband bought me some last year after Christmas for half price.
Thanks for your giveaway.
Okay... This might get some OH PLEASE responses but I absolutely love Victoria's Secret Heavenly.
I also like Elige by Mary Kay.
So if I am picking a favorite those would be the ones.
Thanks for the fun comments at my blog this week! I have had a lot of fun with the "DO" post.
Well, Be blessed and I loved your Friday Funny!
I love Happy too!
I'm thinking I'll do a giveaway for Christmas too. Now to decide what and when. I'm not even started on Christmas, but we are going little this year. I hope we make some wonderful family memories as we celebrate our Savior's birth.
Thank you for being so generous.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Love,
Tiffany
Madame and the original Jean Paul perfumes are my favorites.
Uuuuuugh! Susan....I am speechless! Not so usual for me.
I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE Clinique Happy!
My husband loves it too. He has purchased that for me for many special gifts.
This year.....he lost his job and didn't find work again for 4 months.
Little things like.....say money!! Those things were nada!
I haven't had perfume in a very long time. I've picked up a few of the little shower sprays from Walmart.
Nothing compares to the yummy smell of that perfume.
GOD BLESS YOU......this is truly a precious gift.
My favorite is passion.
Believe it or not, my fav perfume remains "Loves Baby Soft" which I've liked since I was a teen (& now the mom of a dozen kids and 45 years old!) Maybe it's cuz I love the soft smell of little babies! :)
I got a late start in putting my giveaway up, but please come by for a visit to join also! :)
