I couldn't get it down to two... so it's a Gruesome Threesome this time :) Grab the badge and display it with pride, ladies!!!  Now... what you've really tuned in for... Mmmmm.... Blog candy corn. This is my cute little iron cauldron in which we loving placed all of participants' names... sometimes three times each for entering the challenge: There they are... little slips of paper... anxiously awaiting to possibly be plucked from the depths of the cauldron: This is my friend, Beverly... well, actually it's just her hand.  Really there IS more to her, but we won't be showing you that.  She is stirring the cauldron: Now with her hand plunged into the brew of slips, she prepares to draw one lucky name... And the winner is... {pause for effect} {drum roll} Oooops... outta time... Be sure to tune in next week when we find out wh...

How did you like yesterday's preview?  Well, on to Day Two: Elfin' Miller is in da-house!  I swear I giggle every single time I see him :)  VERY simple card, but I just couldn't foof it up.  Me thinks I need some red/black embellies.  Believe it or not, I just don't have any!  A room full of papercrafting schtuff & I couldn't find something that worked with this... CRAZY.  Time for a room re-org!!! Please note:   Elfin' Miller does NOT come holding the pair of tidy whities ...  THAT little gem was added by me :) And soooooooooo totally perfect for this image, dontcha think?  And in case you can't see the sentiment, the front says: WTH... I was good all year & all I got were these tidy whities?! The inside reads: Don't EVEN tell me what's in my stocking.  I really wanted a wittier sentiment, but I just totally blanked.  The possibilities really are endless...  chestnuts roasting jingle bells snowballs...

Teri over at Delicious Doodles will be celebrating her 1st birthday on August 17th...
