    This had to be the best virtual party known to mankind.... I can't believe how amazingly fun it was.

    BLESS YOU ALL.

    THANK YOU ALL.

    I'm just grinning ear-to-ear at how much fun it was to pop into the party room and see so many friends hangin' out, chattin' it up.

    You bless us.

    Every day.

    Happy New Year!

    And I saw that Jenny was guarding the door, but I had a key... so Jenny, thanks for the security but feel free to help yourself to the leftovers.

    And I brought a fresh bowl of Connealy Crunch because I'm pretending it's BREAKFAST CEREAL.

    Hey, on New Year's I get to stretch the truth. A bit.

    :)

    What a great time. I am thrilled to be one of the winners but even more thrilled to find Annie R. is practically in my neighborhood. ;-)

    Special thanks to Tina who managed to keep the whole thing going and tallied. The woman is probably sleeping the first day of the new year away.

    Blessed new year to all. May our ONE WORD keep us focused, our friends at Seekerville keep us informed and enthused, and the new year bring us surprises of the very best kind.

    Peace, Julie

    Happy New Years!

    I just checked out the winner list and realized I won again at 11 p.m.! How did that happen? I was fast asleep and hadn't commented for that hour. But, yay!

    Congrats to all the winners, and I agree Julie, the best part was meeting the wonderful people of the Seekerville community. I have a new friend in Raleigh and some new Gluten Free recipes to try out for my husband :)

    That settles it.

    I'm moving to NC!

    :)

    Annie, once you were in for the day, you were in. Didn't matter what hour it was.

    We're equal opportunity givers of fun and rewards!

    Tina.

    STINKING AMAZING, ISN'T SHE??????

    What a fun, awesome, laughing day!

  5. Annie RainsJanuary 1, 2013 at 6:37 AM

    Tina IS amazing.

    Moving to NC? Come on. It's a wonderful place to be. Lots of beaches, lots of moody weather (my favorite). Oh, and Julie Hilton Steele and I are both here :)

    Happy New Year!

    For all you romantics, my niece got engaged last night. She's in college and her boyfriend showed up in Louisville from Mississippi and popped the question. (BTW-he talked to her parents first.)

    Hope you all have a great day!

    Wow, what a party! Thanks Seekerville for throwing it! It was fun to get to know people a bit better and be a part and see the conversations going on. :)

    That was one amazing party!!!!! I'm extremely proud of myself for staying awake until midnight EST even though I know there were Seekers out west who woke up before the crack of dawn (waaaay before) to keep the party going!

    Simba let me sleep in until 6:14 -- then he started caterwauling like a set of rusty bagpipes so we went for a walk. I spoofed him though, cause I just threw my coat and snow pants oveer my jammies and then crawled back into bed to read for a 'bit'. It was Clari's book though and I couldn't put it down until I finished it.

    And -- New Year miracle!!!! The little amazon gnomes delivered Claiming Mariah to my laptop while I slept. Now I'm trying to stay away from it until I get a few things done around here, which is hard because I read the first two pages!

  20. Mary CurryJanuary 1, 2013 at 11:56 AM

    I'm thinking there's another ONE WORD we can all agree on for the year past and the (hopefully) many ahead:

    Drumroll.....


    SEEKERVILLE!!!

    Thanks to all the Seekers and Seeker Villagers for a wonderful year, a fantabulous party and the promise of more to come!

    And special thanks to hostess extraordinaire, TINA!

    Wishing all the most blessed and happy of new years.

  21. Melanie PikeJanuary 1, 2013 at 12:56 PM

    Wow...how do you all manage to find time to write and visit Seekerville (not to mention write for it AND comment so much!) and play on FB (and possibly Pinterest--which I know Julie does, LOL)????

    I didn't get to get on here at all yesterday (family circumstances don't allow it, although it's my laptop and no one else uses it--it's just tough with son, d-i-law and 17mo grandson living here to find time for meself... Why do I feel so much guilt for doing something I want to do??? Rhetorical question...), so maybe next year (actually, THIS year!).

    My ONE WORD is going to be perseverance/persevere because it's something I am not good at. (No surprise, I guess, that I have chosen a very time-consuming hobby/sometimes-job of genealogy research: unless I can trace someone back to Noah and his sons, it's a never-ending job!)

    Have a blessed 2013, everyone!

    You know it was a good party when the guests won't go home.

    The next morning they're STILL HANGING AROUND. Looking for goodies. Reveling in their gifts.

    Chatting and picking at the left overs.

    Hi Melanie.

    Well I say no to a lot of other things in life at this point, so my writing world is high up there on the ranking.

    Most of us have full time jobs too. So it's about sucking every last minute out of our every last minute. LOL.

  28. KaraJanuary 1, 2013 at 2:57 PM

    Jackie, what a cool story!!! Congrats to the happy couple...

    Awww.....

    THIS IS WHY WE WRITE ROMANCE.

    (I'm saying this as someone close to me is stretched out on the couch, watching WI and Stanford in the Rose Bowl... But he did the dishes so I could work therefore he can chill-lax now.)

    Melanie Pike!!! I love it when you get over here, sweet thing!!!!

    So you've spied Julie on pinterest, hmmm?????

    I avoid that one because I'd get hooked.

    But I love seeing you on facebook my friend! At least there I can bop in and out and say a quick "hi"...

    But cute ideas for whatever???? Oh, I'd be hooked. I did find some great vintage shots on pinterest that I needed for research, so it's cool what they have. What a terrible sentence that is!
