GIVEAWAY - DAY ONE

Good Morning everyone -

Hope you all had a great weekend - for those of us in North America it's still our weekend - na na nananah!!!

A group of incredibly talented ladies grouped together with me to create some pretty special give aways to mark my 1000 milestone with GFC.
And when I say they're incredible - well you're going to find out for yourself in a second.

When I approached each of them - and asked if they would like to participate I was met with a resounding collective YES - we would love to!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But - I added - I'd like this giveaway to be themed.....................and STILL they eagerly jumped on board
Can you guess what that theme would be?
If you know me - you guessed right - I'm pretty sure about that LOL

AND - I added once again - I'd like a copy of whatever you're giving away so that I can see it for myself
( because I'm greedy like that - last week the mail man just kept plunking gifts down at my door lol )

I will showcase one Blogger - one Giveaway at a time ( and I make take a break in between a couple to actually blog as well lol - so this will go on and on and on )

The first contributor is Dani from Frugal Ain't Cheap

Dani is the Queen of Frugal - she can show you tips that you never thought of before -
Be careful when visiting - I feel completely under-accomplished every time I do LOL
I don't know if there's anything she CAN'T do - but I'm in awe of her......and her many many
talents..........like this page project that cost her all of $ 1.00

or this incredible chicken wire lantern

or wall art out of shims for $ 2.00

She also has an Etsy shop Frugal Ain't Cheap where she sells beautiful table linens....................
And has graciously offered this set to one lucky follower!!!
Not only do I love them for myself but these would make such awesome Hostess gifts - and the holidays will be here before we know it!!!

Aren't they beautiful?

I quickly ran around setting the table for a Parisien inspired dinner " pour quatre "

John came home
John says - Oh are we having company?
Suzan says - Noooooo -
John says - Please don't tell that's for the blog
Suzan says - Ok - I won't
John says - Do other people do this?
Suzan says - Yes they do - and they make mine look pathetic actually - you should s -
John says - Never mind - I don't want a big discussion of what all the bloggers do
Suzan says - You're very rude you know
Suzan says - I was going to leave the table set up like that for you and I but now I'm putting it all back
John laughs - Dinner in the kitchen, then?

Ok - here's the rules friends -
and they are my rules - not the contributors

#1  You have to follow FRUGAL AIN'T CHEAP
#2  You have to go visit and drop her a line
#3  You most definitely need to leave me a comment LOL

#4
Strike number 4 -  I was going to say you have to follow me - and although I'd certainly love it if you did -
I'm not going to make that a rule!!!!!!!!
SO..........3 simple ones
No no !!!  I just thought of a 4th rule - you have to put one French word in your comments - seriously -
1 French word!!!
The second one will be up tomorrow - you can enter them all - but you can only win one ( just to be fair )

Are you ready?
Get set.............
GO !!!

With immense gratitude to Dani for contributing
AND to all of you who follow
Giveaway is open to U.S. & Canada
Come by tomorrow to see the next awesome giveaway!!!

Much love,

Oh - and yesterday I showed you the beginning of my Parisien Skyline Silhouette Here - where I only had the Eiffel Tower done - now I have the L'Arc de Triomphe too!
