What am I up to now? this is special, Just for you......
I came to realize my One year blogging anniversary came and went.
I thought....
I must do something special.
So I decided, I would.....
But you the winner of this, won't know what it is, until you receive it.
I can't say what the monetary worth of this will be, I don't think that really matters,
I can only tell you it will be special from me, from the heart.
I can only tell you it will be special from me, from the heart.
I will decided the winner through random.org.
This is only open for my current followers, because it is so personal, I feel I know each and everyone one of you, and I can do something special just for YOU!
I have come to know you..
Cherish you,
think of you,

OK so now what do you need to do?

I would love to know what in the past year has been your favorite post, and WHY?
Even if you have only been a friend for a short time, you can pick from that time on...
Take your time if you have to, and come back, I will have this post on my side bar after today.
I can't wait to read these. It will also give me insight as to what you enjoy on my blog.

In the meantime, Lucy sits and waits for the partay!

What exactly is a pulpit? Because that is the very first post I ever read of yours. It pulled me in. It was simple and to the point, but had your personality all over it. I even thought about it yesterday in church. Oops daydreaming, must not have been a very good sermon. No, I remember it was about shining our light to others. You sure have friend. Lori - My Heart with Pleasure Fills.
Oh my gosh, you made me crack up! Ok, being spontaneous the one that pops into my head would most definitely be your one about kids and alcohol. I thought the photo's you put of of the university with all the mayhem that had gone on spoke volumes. And having 3 boys, one of whom is turning 21 in SIX days, it was a very relevant subject for me. My oldest has no interest in drinking at all but it terrifies me that he's on the freeways coming home from work at midnight...ugghhh!!! Can't they just stay little forever?
You had me at hello. :o)
I always enjoy your holiday decor posts. I like the way you change things up, especially in your kitchen.
The one post that jumps out at me is the first What I Wore Wednesday post your wrote just recently. I liked it because it captured your love of having fun.
Here's to an exciting, fun-filled Year Number 2! CHEERS! La
My fave is your guest bedroom lampshade makeover(whoa, surprise!LOL). It is followed closely by your Halloween posts this year...but now that I think of it, how am I supposed to pick? I guess that lamp is just you, whenever I think about me and you...lampshades brought us together, so this kind of epitomizes it. Congrats on your bloggiversary and thank you for never giving up(uh..not that you've ever wanted too!LOL). Hugs to you my friend!
Oh Debb you put all of us in a trouble......... you have such nice posts that I think no one can point out exactly one... Like I love your first posts very much in which you normally give a topic to discuss and at the time not too many people were the followers but I really enjoyed them very very much... I always love your posts about anything new in your Dinning room... you know yours is one of my favourite:)...
Your transformation of boys room... that was also a nice one... I think this list will goes on and on:)... Happy blogging Anniversary.. Wish you all the best for U , UR Family and your interesting blog...

Are you kidding? Do you think this old forgetful memory remembers what your best post was. I can't even remember what I have posted. lol
I am sure you will keep giving us some inspirational posts and thanks for thinking of us.
I'm a relatively new follower(having just found you this year) and have enjoyed so many of your posts, old and new. I thought I should pick a new post from this year, since that's when I found your blog, so I'd have to say it's your rooster kitchen stools. I loved the fun you had with the semi-haphazard color squares. I think that post epitomizes your fearlessness and creativity.
Wow, I have been a follower forever it seems and have loved them all, however August 31, 2010 and your Master Bedroom just seemed to show your chic and classy personality and is one I really enjoyed. I was trying to makeover our bdrm. at the time and you were great inspiration. I always look to you for great ideas and great posts. Congratulations on your Anniversary. Can't wait to see more. Hugs, Marty
Happy Anniversary Debbie!! :)
My favorite, wouldn't be one imparticular, it would be all your fabulous lampshade redo's! I love that you decorate them up so beautifully!!

I have only been a friend for a short time but love reading your blog. I think my favorites have got to be your newest link ups...What I Wore Wednesday posts! I love them because I think they show your personality (or what I imagine it to be if we were real-life friends). Your poses & outfits are the best!
Happy One Year Blogiversary! Mine came and went without me realizing it as well! That's life I guess!
My favorite of your post is:{Sunday, February 28, 2010}:

Debbie first of all congrats on your one year blog anniversary! My favorite post has to be Garage Salen Partay #3 when I first joined in the fun! It started us on a fun friendship that I hope never ends. I also love all your makeovers and decorating tips. I really remember your Rooster Party post also...no one was more colorful then you. hugs, Linda
Happy Anniversary!!! Too many great posts to pick just one, but I'll go with the first one that came to mind...and I apologize now, but it is absolutely the red spray paint can vs. the garage.
(I got your message too btw, I just haven't had anything fun to blog about lately :o()
My favorite post just has to be the bench that you painted yellow. I love how it stood out and looked so cheerful! :0)
Happy Blog Anniversary!
Debbie, Did you know that we have known each other how to follower through RMS for I think about three years then on FB and I remember when you started your blog. I also remember I didn't know how to follow so I would go back and forth reading it, Now I think I am all grown up, Of course with all your help and now I have one too. WOW you where right as time goes on it gets easier and more fun. can
t wait to see what you have for your giveaway. I hope I win.
well i love all the posts you do .But of course i would pick the one you did about your Mom it was a wonderful tribute:)
Sweet Debbie, I will go back and peruse past posts. I have enjoyed them all but you are right. Some are more special than others. When we author them we somehow know our best or favorites posts. It will be fun to see if others choose the ones you would choose. Hugs, Ginger
Well girl that is a very hard decision for all of us bloggin friends to make! But being the funny girl you are I will have to say the (1) WOW commercials is the one that I will have to pick. I still go and watch it a lot. I just love how you are so excited and funny. Congratulations on your Anniversary. Keep up all your great post because you are a great inspiration to all of us. Hugs, Vicky
Well I do like all of your posts,but I especially liked the one where you painted your outdoor furniture different colors, and the one on blogger manners and the Halloween ones, and the one where you had your empty soda bottles in your Christmas decorations-at my house someone would have picked them up and threw them away! The only post I disliked was the one when I thought you were not going to blog anymore-I would have missed you! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.
I think one of my favorite posts was an older one where you showed some outdoor decor and how you re-painted this one rooster all these different colors over time. I just loved it, can't even tell you why. I think it just inspired me to re-look at all the stuff that was no longer "fitting" in my decor to update it to fit it now!
I really do love your blog. This is a very sweet giveaway you are doing!
Hi Debbie,
My favorite is when you were showing us all your different hairdo's from the past.
I just loved that one and I also loved your dining room one!
I hope I win, I know it will be fabulous!
Cindy
Debbie: I too, as someone else said, love your decorating posts, however, I must choose the one you recently published on how to make a Grab Button. When I first started trying to make one when I started my blog, I ended up paying someone to do it. I must laugh when I see my grab button, because, there are two symbols outside the square. I ain't even gonna try to get rid of them. I might mess something else up. Have a great week!
Ha,ha,ha, Debbie! Just pick one?!
There are so many that draw me in and that give me inspiration ... BUT ... I would have to say that one of my favorites is from the Spring. You posted about decorating your porch and were spray painting everything yellow {not totally yellow).
First, yellow is my favorite color. Second, I love how you showed that with a little color change, you change the mood. For me it was such a fun and uplifting post!
I love all your posts!! They mean soo much to us: you, your family, your house, your friends... the way you include everybody... If I had to pick one, just one, it would be this one... because it means that your blog has loved and been loved for one year... and it has lots of more to go... :-) Congratulations to you and to your Blogging and Blabbing!! :-D
I searched but couldn't find the post, but I remember one of some project you did that didn't exactly come out so good and you showed it anyway and laughed about it. I became your follower around that time because I thought wow, this is such a genuine person that shares from the heart and has a wonderful sense of humor. It has been fun ever since!
xo,
Danielle
oh, Debbie! It really is hard to pick one. They are all great...you have such a bubbly personality! I know I really like your tutorials...you come up with the greatest, doable ideas!
Congratulations on your blogging anniversary! :-)
XO,
Jane
Well I love the recent tutorial post you did with stenciling the stairs and of course the cock a doodle doo stools.
I'm just all in all glad I found your blog and I can't wait to see more of Lucy :)
Hey girl! Happy Blogaversary! I love your Open Forum topics! I love to throw something out there and hear what everyone has to say. One of my favorites was about Family Traditions. I am obsessed with creating traditions and things and that was really a great post with lots of ideas! I also loved when you ran over the spray paint can... well, not that you ran over it, but the vivid detail you used to describe all that went down! You are too thoughtful with such an intriguing giveaway!
i can't wait for the pet party-i'm writing up my post now, actually, and popped over to see if you have a button for it. i can't ignore this post, of course! i have been following for a while now, and of course have just loved commenting back and forth, so "friend"ly. i can't believe it's your blogiversary-happy happy! i love your posts about your front porch, the addition of those blues, and the colors come summertime. and of course your halloween posts!
it is hard to pick one.. because you're so darn cute and genuine. I really loove when you painted the risers to your stairs... you're a really good painter! lol. I also love any shot of that cute pup of yours.
Mostly I love how your personality shines through.. you decorate with color and you are fearless.
God Bless ya sister in the new blog-year.
My favorite is from around Christmas when Jack made you something and asked, "Is this blog-worthy?" AND when you did your Oprah video! :)
Oh Lucy is sooo cute!!! She reminds me of my Lola girl!!!! Except Lola only has one eye... =)
Hi Debbie ,This is hard because you do always post such livley posts ,I guess my favourite though would be where you showed us the beautiful interir photos of your home Yum!
~Sharon~
Hi Debbie, Since I am a pretty new follower I can only say that I am so looking forward to the Pet Party (so is my kitty Lizzie) Hugs, Jeanie
Ok, first off the monetary value is VERY important...Just kidding! My favorite was the red paint, it made me laugh out loud! I have not read anyone else's comment yet, so I have to see if that one tickled anyone else? Forget random number, I am now your big (Not so sure I like the big part) Sis and just remember family comes first.....So, I am ready with my pet post
Carol
The one that I thought of was the Halloween theme where the cut off feet were laying by the door. I thought to myself that you must be a fun Mom and how much fun to grow up in your house. But, I do love all your post - you are such an inspiration and so down to earth, I just feel like I have known you forever!
I came across your blog in October of 2010. I fell in love with the pictures of the house. Especially where you keep changing the dining area or breakfast area. You were just beginning to decorate for Halloween. I love the decorations. Thats why I started following your blogs. The pictures drew me in and gave me ideas of what I wanted to do to my porch outside and in the inside of my home. I love Lucy she is the cutest Pug I have ever seen. Being a dog lover I could not pass her or your blog up.
Thanks for sharing a little part of your life to a Tennessee Southern Belle.

Oh Debbie..what to do here? I love so many of your posts and ideas! Some that stick out in my mind were your son's room with all the mementos and family heirlooms and antiques. I also loved your Halloween decor A LOT!! Any of your decor posts always appeal to me too!!
Heck Debbie! You making things hard for me!! Well, guess I would have to say your blue rooster! I loved that blue rooster! It is so you! I can spot something a mile away and say. "That would fit Debbie to a T!"
Love ya girl!!!
Jennifer
My favorite post was my Birthday post, of course, because it was about me and us!
I loved the post of your work area...with the great chandelier that you bought one sale at Lowe's! I would still love to find one! And of course you WIWW posts are my fav...the last one is my ALL time favorite! Spring colors and cute hair...lot of pizzazz! Thanks for all the FUN! ♥
I started following you in the fall! I remember most is your Halloween decor... I liked that I was seeing a bit of scary and goth w/o it being scary and goth - does that make sense? ;P
There was so much "glammed up fall" and everyone saying "we don't decorate for Halloween, just fall"... all I could think was "what does everyone with KIDS do, especially 2 young boys who totally love it!?!". Thanks for answering that ;) Happy Belated one year!
Well because we both no I am one of your most devoted this was so tough. However, I think my fav was your blog about the rooster chairs you painted. Love, love them, in fact they would look so good in my kitchen I may copy,
Shellyhectic@yahoo.com
Well, I haven't been following for very long, but I'm loving all of your posts! I think my favs are WIWW, when we get to see 'cute you' in front of the camera :-)
Lucy is adorable, I'm headed back to the paaaartaaay and gonna post my link to Boo!
xxxx
I love your blog, and I love your Oprah Commercial. I thought you did and excellent job and should have been chosen. Happy Blogiversary!
My favorite posts were your Christmas home decor posts! Love seeing your house all decked out for the holidays! BEAUTIFUL! :)
First, I was trying to figure out how long it's been since I started visiting your blog. I believe I found you in early spring of last year.
It's hard to pick a post because you've had so many great ones!
I loved "This is for the birds" because I thought those teacup bird feeders were so clever & cute.
I also loved your spray paint posts of spring/summer 2010. There were many of them and you can bet I went right to Walmart & started spray painting everything in my wake because of them! LOL
I'm also partial to "What not to do with your pumpkins" because of the sheer humor of it & how close to home that one hits!
I love every time you change up your seasonal decor- your tablescapes are always unusual and unique. I also loved when you found the dinette valances at Walmart. But I'll tell you what, I fell in love with Lucy today!
June 10, 2010. You had left a can a red spray paint on the garage floor on either you or your hubby ran over it and made a mess AND you showed feet photos AND it was a garage salin party day. I think that is about when I started coming here daily! Reminded me of me, but on a sugar high.
Happy One Year Blogiversary!!!
I honestly don't have any one post that stands out amongst the rest, but if I HAVE to narrow it down a tad, then I'd have to say that my "Rant Du Jours" have been quite popular...I b*tch about what others would like to say!!!
Okay, I have enjoyed ALL your posts, but I really think I love your Oprah commercial the best.
When I am driving myself to the Y to do my Zumba class, I keep repeating, "I don't want blogger's butt, I don't want bloggers butt!"
I took my time deciding, but I think it was Fun Feet, because it had such a funny surprise~ and I love that you never know what to expect on your wonderful blog...XO
There is no way I can pick just one or two or even three favorite posts Debbie! That's the fun of visiting you! You NEVER know what you're going to get! It's always a surprise!
Happy Blogiversary by the way! :)
I'm still new and digging through your site, but I love your Trash to Treasure post. You did a great job and it looks so inviting. I want to come hang out on your porch.
I also enjoy the pet party. Thanks for hosting.
Debbie, this is so not fair! How can I or anyone pick a favorite because there are so many that are awesome. Since you're making it so difficult I guess I'll have to pick What I wore on Wednesday. Your personality is like sunshine on a rainy day.
Happy Blogiversary!

I love this one.... not only do I love the transformation you did here, but it just shows what paint can do. I love painting old wooden things from craigslist or goodwill to make it look fresh and new!
Confession time for me Debbie: I love all your creative ideas using spray paint to turn some ordinary things into new. Those are my favorite posts. Not only did I learn, I also salvaged a few things around my house.
ok, here's my fave ")
read it & laugh {or groan} - AGAIN!

Debbie, I always look forward to reading your updates! I love seeing what your wear :) I love all your fabulous projects/inspiration. I really love that you care about us "newbies" and are willing to help! Looking forward to getting to know you better!
