It’s time!  It’s here!  At midnight on September 16 (CST), it will all be over and some of you will be the winners of the over $1500 in prizes being sponsored here at Busy-at-Home for our Christmas at Home: A Celebration event!!!!   That means today, September 14, is the last day to complete any Bonus entries.  At midnight tonight, those are all going away and being replaced by the official Blogmania entry page, which can only be submitted one time on the 15th and one time on the 16th.

Dinner plate detail.

Salad plate detail. Aren't they gorgeous!!???!!!

To inspire you to catch up on your bonuses and remind you how awesome our Busy at Home sponsors are, I want to share the pictures of the new Winter Song china from Lenox that arrived here, a couple of days ago.  It is even more beautiful than the stock pictures I shared with you in my earlier Lenox review.  The place setting includes a dinner plate, salad plate, mug and and a bowl.  It will make a gorgeous Christmas table, but I also love the idea that this pattern translates to use all winter long with its lovely winter scenes.  The branches, berries, greenery and pinecones twining around and across the pieces are perfect table complements throughout the whole season and you will fall in love with the hand-painted birds perched delicately on the salad plate.  I know I have.  You are going to get to see it many times, in pictures of delicious food, for my upcoming recipe posts!

Attention to the most beautiful detail - even INSIDE the bowl!

Beautiful bowl!

Well-Dressed Men Wear Argyle! A Lollipop Patch Kids Review & Giveaway, Plus a Blogmania Bonus for Readers!

Ready and waiting for lunch.

I’m probably one of the most blessed women I know.  Seriously!  I have an awesome husband, five kids, ages 8, 14, 17, 24 & 26.  I have a son-in-law and soon-to-be son-in-law who are every mom’s dream for their daughters, and ice that whole cake with 3 adorable grandbabies!  God is good!  My favorite part of the week is when they are all “home”, gathered around the table for a visit and a meal.  Usually on Sundays, we can round up the largest part of the gang; and when it’s a birthday or a holiday they ALL gather around to celebrate and share the fun.

Last Sunday, we got a chance to include a review of these adorable Shirt-Saver Bibs, from Lollipop Patch Kids, in our family get-together.  Our grandson, just turned one in July and he was my perfect tester for these thick, durable custom bibs!

CLEARLY, she said lunch was READY, but this tray is still empty!    (At least I LOOK good in my cool Lollipop Patch Kids bib.) :)

His church clothes were perfectly protected under his fashionable, argyle-print bib.  As a matter of fact, his biggest concern was that Grandma needed to get lunch on the table faster!

Generously, Lollipop Patch Kids sent two bibs for our review – a his & hers set.  I didn’t break out the pretty purple flowered print for the granddaughter’s yet, but you can see it is absolutely precious.  The bibs have a thick terry-cloth lining making them incredibly soft and absorbent.  The fronts are customized in fashionable prints and the closure is with a snap.  I was SO excited to see that!  Velcro is too easy for the baby to open on their own.  The snap closure held the bib

I know! It’s crazy! She keep’s saying “food”. Do YOU see any food?

comfortably in place, even with a little bit of baby tugging at the end of the meal.

You really need to check out the Lollipop Patch Kids shop on Etsy.  The bibs come in so many different designs, plus you’ll find burp cloths, sweet fabric growth charts and more.  Bookmark the shop because you’ll want to go back again and again.  I know I definitely need more of these bibs!  (I’m expecting a lot more grandkids!) ;)

Lollipop Patch Kids is providing two Shirt-Saver bibs for a lucky reader in our Blogmania “Christmas at Home: A Celebration!” giveaway.  If I’m not mistaken, I believe they are even being done in Christmas prints — a perfectly fashionable way to keep little ones and their holiday clothes, looking their best!

In honor of this fun review, I have an extra Blogmania BONUS ENTRY for you!
