Hi Everyone –
Wow! I’m so overwhelmed by the great response to the first giveaway – thank you so much for all the sweet comments! Elizabeth is right – I had no idea so many of you where out there!
I can see that we’re definitely going to need to make this a regular thing…and there are more great vendors already lined up!
Also – a few of you have asked about when hostesswiththemostess.com is going to launch – and all I can say is that it will be sometime in March – but we haven’t committed to a specific date yet. The launch announcement will just pop up like another surprise…and – even better – it will come with a big, celebratory giveaway attached! Keep you posted…(as always!)
