Party Favors

Image
By
I am having a wonderful time with the cocktail party, and if the comments are any indication, all of you are enjoying it too.  It wasn't until yesterday that I realised I had forgotten to provide party favors to my guests.  What a major faux pas!  A good hostess always provides a little token for her guests to take home.

 So here it is!  A party favor to post to your blog.



If you would like to post it to your blog, here is what you do:
  • Right click on the "favor" and save it to your picture file.
  • Sign in to your blog and click the heading "layout".
  • On the right or left side column, click "Add A Gadget".
  • Choose to add a picture.
  • Click "browse" and select the "favor" in your picture file.
  • Click "save" and you're done.  You can now move it wherever in the column you like.
If you want to get super fancy, you can link the picture directly to your appearance at the cocktail party.  To do that, follow the instructions above, but before you click "save", enter the url of your post in the space provided.  After that, click save.  Now visitors to your blog will be able to click on the "favor" and be magically transported to your guest appearance at the cocktail party!

It's Wednesday, Welcome Back To The Cocktail Party!

By
Welcome to Willoughby's Blog Style Cocktail Party. I hope you will find some new blogs to follow and expand your circle of blog friends. I know you're all anxious to mingle, so I'll get right to it. I'd like to introduce Deidra from Jumping Tandem .  I know you'll enjoy her blog as much as I do. Keeping It Real.... Deidra I'm an East Coast girl living in the midwest because I love my husband (I call him "H" around here) and his work brought us here. We have been blessed with two amazing children (currently in college) and an empty nest that I absolutely love! Don't get me wrong, I love my kids but they're destined to change the world and they can't do that living under my roof (although they're welcome back anytime for love, prayers, support, encouragement, and of course homecooked meals and clean laundry). Did I mention that H is a pastor? So that makes me the pastor's wife - but don't let that blur your vision. H is...

Bugging Out

By
Spring is such a wonderful time of year.  The birds have returned and greet each morning with their lovely songs.  The tree branches are covered with green buds ready to burst into life.  The grass has shed it's yellow/brown pallor in favor of a lovely emerald.  The air is warm and breezy.  It's all so lovely except for one thing.  The bugs. Because of our nearly uninhabitable climate during the winter months, we don't see many bugs from late October through early April.  I almost forget how much I hate them until they come back.  And they know I hate them so they taunt me.  Ever since the thermometer hit the 60 degree mark, we've had flies congregating around the back porch.  I can't sit out there and enjoy my morning coffee without having them buzz past me. Now, flies I hate, but spiders I absolutely loathe.  Friday morning I walked into the bathroom to dry my hair and spotted what I thought was a bumble ...

How Small Town Is Small Town?

By
I grew up in the suburbs.  From the house I lived in, you never had to travel more than a mile to get to  shopping malls, restaurants, drug stores or gas stations.  We had multiple movie theaters, bowling alleys, golf courses and a water park. After Mr. Willoughby and I got married, we lived in an apartment in that same suburb for a few years. From there we moved to another suburban area, and then the city.  It was while we were living in the city that we started spending our weekends on country drives and shopping at flea markets and farm stands.   We found ourselves charmed by the small towns with their farmhouses and quaint shops. When it was time to get out of our house in the city, we decided that we wanted to live in the country. It was an adjustment at first.  The closest place to shop (other than Kmart or the supermarket) is 20 miles away.  We have no movie theaters and only a...
