The First BOD - Drawing of the Fall - and the Winner is.....

.......Lisa over at LisaV's Lounge - here are the secret behind the scenes of the ancient BOD ritual.................with the light slowly fading and the fog a'swirling over twin peaks..... the Chihuahua high priestess - Peaches - went into a trance -




and with a blink of the eye
- she daintily reached into the BOD and withdrew a slip of destiny -
and upon this scrap of delight was Lisa's name....




Who was the good girl, even though she was afraid of the camera..... and you just know she is thinking "Where's the damn cookie, I sat still now gimme that cooookie!!!!" (The Pete and Hunny were unavailable for photo's - which translates into they wouldn't sit still and kept running around..... not youe next ANTM material at all!!)



so - dear Lisa - just send your mailing address to edgarmatt @ g mail . com (remove spaces)
and I will get your prize in the mail. Thank you all who entered
- there will be other drawings here a BBotW in the near future!!!

I will be announcing the winners of the PIF in tomorrows Blog - so stay tuned for that.

This weekend I was busy stitching and finishing up the Christmas Ornie for dear Vonna - and that will go into the mail tomorrow. I also was finishing up the stitching on the MAW for Gabby and I hope to get that finished and in Thursdays mail - so I have no stitchy snaps from the weekend as both are to be surprises.

I saw some movies this weekend - I know you are surprised!! - starting off with "Moulin Rouge" - 1952 - about the life of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec - although a fictionalized bio-pic - as are most of them - I really enjoy this movie with each viewing - Jose Ferrrer does such a great job as Henri and he is supported by a wonderful cast - including Suzanne Flon, Katherine Kath and the beautiful Zsa Zsa Gabor. I think it was a bio pic weekend as I also watched the completely fictionalized life story of "Hans Christian Anderson" - 1952 - another musical staring Danny Kaye, who I always enjoy. A really fun if at sometime silly movie - with some gorgeous music. The next bio-pic was "The Benny Goodman Story" - 1956 starring Steve Allen and Donna Reed - a little flat in places but the music is superb and was actually played by Goodman for the movie. The DVD was not the best - but a nice flick all the same. Then last night I it was "Casablanca" - 1942 - one of my all time favorites with such a great cast - Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henried, Claude Rains - if you have not seen this film you really should!! There were a few other films but these were the highlights.

Thanks for stopping by and for all the really nice things everyone has to say,
I truly do appreciate the comments!!!!!

Take care,
edgar
