. . . a winner? another free for all?



600 comments on the nose.
over 600 names
for chup and i to contemplate
thank you
i've added at least ten new names
to my possibilities list.

like many of you
i love names.
i love hearing them.
discussing them.
debating them.
naming them to a child.

on to the dress.
we have chosen caroline of salsa pie
as the winner
for her efforts to appeal to my softness
for female writers:

How about these:

Emily
Sylvia
Charlotte
Rowling

see the trend? All female writers...
And, finally my favorite:

Hope Field Dearing, which was my great-grandmother's pen name when she used to write for Harper's Bazaar back in the 1920s and 30s.Always thought that was a cool name.

caroline darling, anchors away is yours!

thanks again
to everyone who entered
and shabby apple.

i like giveways where i get something in return.

speaking of such . . .

we've scheduled another giveaway free for all
december 2nd.

this is a heads up for anyone who wants to
give something fantastic away
or announce discounts on online shops
or grab a little something
for yourself.

if you joined us last time
you know what amusement we had.

if you didn't,
get ready for the premiere
giveaway
online
experience!



or something like that.

i'm not about to sort through those 600 names to see if these have already been suggested, but here's a couple that we were seriously considering with our last one:

girls-- fielding, harper, parker, and lane

boys: barrett, dalton, miller, and rigby

i still love them all, but sometimes when you see your baby, some of the names you thought you loved just don't work anymore! good luck!

Names are hard, we were lazy and just picked a family name. xoxo

I wish I hadn't missed this party.

I just read Heaven to Bestsy by Maud Hart Lovelace and thought if I wasn't done having babies, I might have to have a Maud Hart. Love the name, love the books.

You said that being resourceful makes you feel friendly. But what if your only resources are dynamite or guns?
