Hello! Hard to believe its Friday again..this week flew. How scary is it that we are starting to  see so many signs of Christmas and Thanksgiving around? No matter where I am, at CVS or a dept store, my market with all it’s displays for stuffing and Thanksgiving fixings, opening up a newspaper…..a gentle reminder that it’s really not so far away, scary! It gives me heart palpitations and I think this weekend would be a great time to come up with list of just what needs to be done until then (a lot).<\/p>\n

Anyway moving onto less stressful topics, the response to the Blue and White Love contest was just incredible. Can you believe I got just under 2000 votes!!!!! There were so many fabulous entries, it made choosing very difficult and really they are all winners in  my book….any fan of blue and white is a friend of mine:)<\/p>\n

So thank you to each and every one of you who took the time to send in your beautiful pictures, I so enjoyed them as I know everyone else did too. Thanks to the user friendly wonderful reliable poll  services of Polldaddy, <\/a>we have two winners (one for each round). I was going to originally have a “showdown” between the two but decided they each deserve a prize:)<\/p>\n

And here are the winners…….<\/p>\n
