It's "Your Wonderful Life" Party
The movie "It's a Wonderful Life" made it's debut, not to critical acclaim, in 1946 starring Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, and Henry Travis and produced and directed by Frank Capra. It is the story of George Bailey, who one Christmas Eve, on the verge of committing suicide, is saved by his guardian angel Clarence. George who thinks his life is not worth living, is given the wonderful gift of seeing the lives he has touched and the contributions he has made to the community of Bedford Falls. Indeed, George really had a "Wonderful Life."
Click HERE to view a trailer for the movie "It's a Wonderful Life."
Nominated for five Oscars, though never winning any, it has been listed on the American Film Institute's top 100 American films ever made.
George Bailey: "Now, you listen to me! I don't want any plastics, and I don't want any ground floors, and I don't want to get married - ever - to anyone! You understand that? I want to do what I want to do."

I am trying to upload pictures onto blogger, but it keeps telling me there is an error, so I will link to the party as soon as I get the pictures up.
My sweet husband and I watch It's A Wonderful Life every Christmas Eve late in the evening... with a bottle of Champagne.
But I am having fun visiting.

I think my favorite scene in the movie has got to be when all George's friends arrive at his house to give him their money. Makes me tear up every time.
It seems as thought I'm the only one in the family who's seen the movie in it's entirety, so we TiVo'd it and the whole family will watch it this weekend. Break out the popcorn!!
Thanks so much for letting me link up. I haven't even entertained the thought of baking this season yet, but I've posted a link to the most adorable little gingerbread cake houses I did last year. They were posted the week of Christmas, so not many people saw them.
Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway!!
:)

Mango Tango Portfolio Bag in Orange Mango. Very pretty!

I took the quiz and got 9 correct for a 60%. Not too bad, I guess, since I haven't watched the movie for a few years. I love it, though!

I love watching that movie every year. What is my favorite thing about it? Just the simple beauty and message.
fourkidsrgreat(at)gmail.com
I changed my mind! I would love to win and I am a follower and have been for as long as I have known how to blog.
I visited CSN and would love the hardsided aluminium attache case that I would give to my hubby. He is really hard on these.
I hope to do better at winning this than I did on the quiz. I got a 40%! Such obscure questions!
If a gals got to carry a briefcase, it better be that gorgeous red leather one by Willowbrook! I like the pull ones too though...still red wins.
You are closely followed...maybe stalked!
Can every, "I've lost it," crazy mother relate to the "Hark the Herald Angels Sings" piano practicing part? That is my favorite part, when he looses it, and then he is so glad when he returns to his little girl. Whenever I wanted to climb on a bus and change my name, I was inspired by George to hang in there! It truly is a wonderful life!
I entered Santa's Surprise. Thanks for the chance to win! Merry Christmas and hugs, Joni.
I have been a follower of your blog for a while now! Love it!
I just love the Bramble & Brown ladies' briefcase. Very classy! And great compartments.
I love this movie and, in fact, was just given the DVD as an early Christmas present. It would not be Christmas without watching "It's A Wonderful Life". What I love most about this movie is that it stars one of my very favorite actors...the great Jimmy Stewart!
Of course, I ♥♥♥ that Mango Tango olive flight bag...it is green!
Yes, I am one of your followers!
