It's time for Friday Flair!! But… Before we start the party, I wanted to remind everyone about our Swap a Smile Auction. Today is the last day to place any bids and I'm telling ya there are some pretty cool deals to be had. Please open your heart and take a second to check out what some amazing bloggers from around Blogland have offered for a great cause, Operation Smile.
So far we have raised enough money for 4 1/2 smiles! We are almost to our goal of 5 bright and shiny new smiles for some very deserving children. It costs $240 for one new smile so… that's really pennies for what it can do for a child's life. We have heard from many of you who either have children who have been born with this condition or who WERE born with a clft lip and or a cleft palate and truly you have touched out hearts.
Please, please, please visit our auction and take your last opportunity to bid on some amazing projects that were hand made by some of your favorite creative bloggers. Seriously right now the highest bid is on a SOAP DISPENSER!! I know that the Handmade Quilt that has been donated by Kari from Ucreate, the Halloween Pillow Covers by Jen from Tatertots and Jell-o or the Spooky Halloween Vinyl Frame by Shelley from House of Smiths should beat that!! There are so many great projects you have to come on over and check them out!!

The secret… you get your cranberries DRUNK before you put them in the dressing!!! Seriously, you soak the dried cranberries in brandy for an hour our so before you add them to your dressing. So, last year for Thanksgiving I thought I would come up with my version of Table 34’s dressing and here is what I came up with…
