Bear-ly Funny, and a Contest!




I forgot to show you these beeswax candles I found at a Christmas bazaar.  Are they not darling?  The only problem --  I don't think I could bear to actually burn them.

"Bear" to burn them -- get it? 

 "Bear?"

Sorry.

And now for something really fun:  Better Homes and Gardens magazine has just opened a "Save My Room" contest.  Enter a photo of a room in your home that needs some decorating help, and get a chance to win a room makeover by master decorator, Stephen Saint-Onge.  The makeover will include painting, furniture and accessories, and the winner's room will be featured in the November issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine and on their website as well.  Wouldn't that be fun?!  Go on over and enter, and tell them Mary sent you.  :)
