Winter Wonderland

Wow! We got a whole bunch of snow here! This is the most snow I have seen since I have been living in the south! Lillie had a ball running around and playing in it! Fortunately, thanks to the wind, there were spots where it wasn't very deep at all so she played there. Other spots, though, were quite deep!

More Excitement About the Tribe!

So, we have had a rough few days at the Holmes' house! Poor Lillie got the flu so bad we had to take her to the doctor's and then it hit Jon and I. We are all finally feeling a bit better today, though, thank goodness! However, on a brighter note Sports Illustrated featured William and Mary on their main college basketball page yesterday and its still up today (not sure how much longer it will be so check it out now): http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/ncaa/?eref=sinav

Lillie got so excited when she saw Quinn she started jumping up and down and clapping! And here is the story: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/bill_trocchi/01/19/mid.major.report/index.html

Pretty cool, huh?

The Irish Faerie Tutu

"There is such a place as fairyland - but only children can find the way to it. And they do not know that it is fairyland until they have grown so old that they forget the way. One bitter day, when they seek it and cannot find it, they realize what they have lost; and that is the tragedy of life. On that day the gates of Eden are shut behind them and the age of gold is over. Henceforth they must dwell in the common light of common day. Only a few, who remain children at heart, can ever find that fair, lost path again; and blessed are they above mortals. They, and only they, can bring us tidings from that dear country where we once sojourned and from which we must evermore be exiles. The world calls them its singers and poets and artists and story-tellers; but they are just people who have never forgotten the way to fairyland."
— L.M. Montgomery (The Story Girl)
This is one of the newest spring tutus my mom has created for Dear Lillie. It is my new absolute favorite! We will be debuting it, along with the rest of our new spring designs on http://www.dearlillie.com/ soon!

And the winner is.......

Wow! Thank you all so much for all of your wonderful and kind comments! All 327 of them! I kept wanting to respond and then would remember it would mess up the numbers for the random number generator so I refrained! You are all so sweet and we appreciate all of your thoughts and words!

So, we went to Random.org and plugged in the numbers and here is what it gave us:


Congratulations to Amber of http://www.amberfischer.com/! You are the winner of our first ever Dear Lillie Blog give-away! Yay!!!! Send us an e-mail at dearlillie@hotmail.com with your address and the size you would like and we will get that out for you! We hope that you love it!

This was so much fun that we have decided to do AT LEAST one give-away each month. Please check back at the first of every month to see what out latest give-away will be. We may also sprinkle smaller give-aways throughout the year on special occasions. I think we will do another shirt for February and then perhaps a tutu in March, but am not sure. Please feel free to comment below on what items you would like for us to give-away!

Thank you all again for making this give-away such a success!!!
