Ann has a great drink recipe posted for a White Capris cocktail – sounds especially yummy, so I’ve made one just for you:
If you’re not a chocolate strawberry fan, here’s some fresh picked fruit for you to enjoy:
Time For Some Fun!
Ann was reminiscing about when she was 12 or 13 and about the clothes she just had to have…you know, so as she put it “The clouds would part and (she) would be a popular girl.” Her question for us tonight is “what clothes did you just have to have when you were 12? 13? Be honest!”
You know, I consider myself lucky – I went to a smallish private school and my dad had gotten rid of our television when we were younger… So I didn’t have the peer pressure of what other people were wearing – there wasn’t an ‘IT‘ trend at our school… I did, however, keep the clothes in my closets and drawers organized by season and color, and my sister and I made up charts so we wouldn’t wear the same outfit twice within a 2-week time frame. 😉
Tonight’s VGNO has a Giveaway!
Straight from Ann’s blog:
“One of the lovely and talented Virtual GNO guests is sponsoring this weeks giveaway. Rebecca Niederer of Jewelry and Gifts by Rebecca is sharing her beautiful handcrafted work with us. One fortunate VGNO guest will win a pair of earrings made by Rebecca. And here’s the thing, the winner can choose their preferred style & color. Rebecca will work with you to create the earrings you want. She say’s “Anything goes”. (And that goes for any order too. How wonderful!)”
To participate in the Jewelry and Gifts by Rebecca giveaway here’s what you do… Hop on over to Ann’s to join the Virtual GNO and check out the details of the giveaway. Sign Mr. Linky and visit those that sign-in! Go blog-hopping! And most importantly, Have Fun! Well? What are you waiting for? 🙂
Those chocolate covered strawberries look soooo fabulous!!! Brings back memories. 😉
Have a fun night!!!
Those blackberries look scrumptious! I don’t mind if I do.
Happy VGNO!
I don’t think I even picked out my own clothes at 12 and 13. Looking back, I clearly should have.
I totally charted my clothes too!!! Lol!!!
TGIF!
Thanks for the fruit! Yum!
Hope you’re having fun blog hopping!
Thanks for the snacks.. so yummy! Have fun at GNO!!
I could use a cocktail right about now. Along with some potato chips.
“If you’re not a chocolate strawberry fan”

Stopping in from VGNO!! You may pass those strawberries this way please. YUMMY
Yummo, those strawberries look delish, we might have to take a trip to Downtown Disney today and get a couple at Ghiradelli’s. Sorry I didn’t get to stop by last night, I made myself go to bed at 10pm, and actually had 7 hrs of sleep! Does a body good!

I love how organized you kept your clothes! I used to organize mine on colored hangers (white hangers for “dressy” clothes, green for “play” clothes, etc) I still do that sometimes now!
I did have a fun night out in the “real” world lol! But I missed you guys! Hope you had a great VGNO!
Thanks for coming by my site! I’m loving me some strawberries right about now.
I had to have Dove Shorts and neon anything. Also… OP clothes and and hawaiian print blouses.
Ahhh those were the days…
Hey, I picked up VGNO off your blog. THanks for posting about that.
Missy
Wouldn’t you know that I would miss the week that she has a giveaway. Just my luck:)
I couldn’t participate last night, not even in the white capris. I had a food network date with my husband. We’re cool like that.
Whenever I see VGNO I automatically think of….down there. Is it just me?
Thanks so much for stopping by! I’ve been stopping by and peeping you out for the last few weeks, but I’m too chicken to make the first move to comment. I’m lame like that. I’ll surely keep coming back. I’ll be brave though.
Ok I’m really going to have to look into getting Friday nights off from work. I really want to make it to one of these. 🙂
I think you found the one perk about private school. No worries on what to wear. Except for free dress day…eek!

Ahhh, you are a great host! Those drinks and strawberries look awesome!
It’s been almost a week, and still no choc covered strawberries. I’m going to have to do something about that today!
