Default With all the bad stuff...

We have a winner!!!
Congrats rachelv post #15!
PM me your email address and I will get your GC to you!


Thanks everyone for helping spread some cheer!


With all the bad stuff going around. Sickies, frozen pipes, mean security guards, etc. I thought it would be good to spread some Christmas cheer around here! So make a post in this thread sharing some love, hugs, smiles, etc and I will use random.org to choose one (1) person to give a $10 GC to the shoppe!

So let's start spreading the love!!



*I will check back at noon (12pm) 12/23

Aww, that is so sweet Becca! I don't need the GC, but this is an awesome idea! I just totally love all of you here. SSD is my digi home, and you ladies and guy are so sweet and supportive. Thanks for all the kind words, sweet comments, and thoughts and prayers.

Sweet Shoppe gives me the warm fuzzies. I love it here. Even when I am crabby, cranky, grouchy...someone always makes me smile.

Default Merry Christmas Cheer

Love our time together... snowstorms have caused me to change my scheduled plans, but it has been great. I baked Christmas cookies for the first time in 14 years. My kids got to help, what fun memories. I also made peanut brittle for the first time. And of course for the chocolate lovers, Muddy Buddy mix.

Have a Merry Christmas all. You can always find the good in the bad.

I absolutely love the way everyone here supports each other in their time of need!!! It is definitely the "sweetest" place to be and I'm so glad I can call you all my friends.

Aren't you sweet Becca, I also don't need a GC, since I CT for so many. But this was a sweet idea.

I love our little community. Since I'm in the Air Force I have very few friends, I've moved 5 times in 9 and a half years, so its nice to know that my girls here will always be in the same place, no matter where I move. I can always count on you ladies to be here.

I am so thrilled to be here. This is by far the only place to be! I'm so happy to know all of you and love knowing I can come her to laugh, cry, celebrate, etc.

What a sweet idea! This really is a wonderful community--people here support each other through the good and the bad without the drama you find on so many sites. ((hugs))

Just wanted to say Happy Holidays to you all and see you on the 26th.
I know that everytime I come here, there's someone here that can make me laugh.

Very sweet of you to do Becca!!

I'm having a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year. It's been a rough few months for my 11 daughter (who has some health issues, but nothing life threatening) and I'm just glad that as of the end of last week, we seem to be heading in the right direction.

I think I need a new job....

Becca, you're so sweet. It has been an incredibly crappy Christmas and you've been there for not just myself, but for everyone here.
I love this place. It's full of warm, friendly and caring people that I really care about. SSD is like my second home and I'm incredibly happy to "live" here .

What a nice thing to do! I don't post much . . . you can tell by my numbers. I usually have a big baby boy in my arms and trying to type isn't the easiest.

The Sweet Shoppe by far has the best designers! I love the shop and the forum . . . even if I don't post often.

My freebie on my blog is me trying to do the same thing, lol!! It's my way of spreading the cheer a bit, too!

I had such a headache with snapfish today that I thought I'd spare you girlies any photo collage headaches and made a card-sized collage template on my blog for you all since I see so many of us are just fed up with the holidays!!

It's super sweet of you to try and spread the cheer, too!!

Ok, I find this genuinely funny and it just happened. My dh made rice krispie treats for his work's party tomorrow. I hand him a stick of margarine (thinking he'd measure it). He gets that batch made and there's enough left for a half batch so when he asks how much margarine, i ask him, where's the stick I gave you? Honest to god, he looks at me and says what stick, I used the whole thing . I nearly split a gut laughing,lol.

Being so far away from my family and friends... having SSD to come to and chit chat, vent, and get inspired is a HUGE blessing for me. I hope you all have the most wonderful Christmas and a very blessed 2009!!!

How sweet of you, Becca!

The sickies have invaded here too. I haven't eaten in 36 hours. I suppose that's a good way to not gain any weight during the holidays.

What a wonderful thing to do Becca.... This is my most favorite place on the web to come every day....I love how everyone is so caring and supportive of each other sharing not only their layouts, but their every day life--even when life does not always seem fair....Happy Holidays!

I think this is such a kind idea - and timely, having just read the 'Overwhelmed' post. I'm sending lots of hugs in that direction - and lots of Christmassy wishes everywhere else.

How sweet of you Becca! This is my first digi home, and though I've lost my mojo a lot lately, I still love to come by and say hi, you girls are like my little gang of pals. I wish you all a great holiday, and a wonderful 2009.

Aww that's so sweet of you Becca. I don't need the gift certificate either.

But I wanted to say how thankful I am of this place! Everyone is always nice, and there is never any drama etc. here

How sweet of you!! I don't need the certificate either, but wanted to chime in.

This wonderful place is my refuge from real life. It's my digi home on the web. I come on here and escape fighting teenagers, bronchitis, a crabby husband and I feel relaxed and at home! Plus, my mojo has decided to take Christmas vacation early, so this is the absolute best place to get inspiration!

Thanks so much for the chance!

Honestly all the support I got after posting about our break in here was so nice. It made me feel a bit better about it all that you all cared enough to respond.

Thank you so much Becca!

You have made my day. I've had a horrible stressful day and have been on the verge of tears all day. As soon as I got the pm from Becca, I couldn't contain myself. My tears have turned to grateful thankful tears.

Thanks for turning my day around. . . at least for the time being.
