I know I'm a bit of a straggler. Stumbling in still applying my makeup as I walk through the door. I'm afraid I've had my calendar open to October for at least a week, maybe longer, so I thought I had a couple more days to get my ball gown ready. I really wanted to make a VERY FANCY gown, but this is about as fancy as I have time for at this point.
Please go to Elizabeth Bunsen's blog and visit all the blogs participating in the Bloglandia Ball. Lots of gorgeous eye candy out there. It's huge so it will take days to see everyone's contribution. Thank you Elizabeth for such a great idea and for taking the time to implement it.
If you plan to make a book containing the dresses of all the Bloglandia Ball participants, please feel free to copy my dress for that purpose. Have fun checking out all the lovely gowns out there!!
gorgeous!!!!!!!!!
thank you so much for joining us -
ready to dance?

Oh, I think it's so elegant! So glad you made it to the ball. I must sit down for a moment, I've been dancing all night - will you join me for some refreshments though?

Thanks for leaving the nice comment on my blog. I love your dress and I'm crazy about your boo sign. I didn't join that swap and now I'm wishing I had. I've been seeing some really cute stuff out there in blogland

What a lovely gown, and a lovely place you have here. I will be back to look around. I think I was especially drawn to the woman with the shotgun in your banner . . . thinking for my reason. Maybe because I have one too.

Well, if this is you stumbling, I'm impressed! And it's just us gals so no need to fuss about the make-up! You are fashionably late and gorgeous!!

Your gown is beautiful Donna, and you looked ravishing last evening at the ball. Thought I only saw you from afar, still I could see how radiant you are.
Thank you for introducing yourself.
You left a beautiful message for my Mom, I thank you. You are lucky to have had such a wonderful Mom! We are blessed indeed!
