| Picnic Game 2011 |
Just in case I haven't said it enough times, July is National Picnic Month!!! What do good bloggers do in preparation for Picnic Month? One of two things. Either they scurry online hopping from site to site in search of the perfect "go-to" picnic dish, or dishes, to celebrate the month long celebration or, they "play" the Picnic Game! What? You've never played the Picnic Game? Come on, we'll show you how.
Now, recite after me, I'm going on a picnic and I'm bringing..."

I sincerely want to thank everyone for joining in on the Picnic Game festivities. While I was hopping from blanket to blanket, blog to blog, I couldn't help but to feel the enthusiasm kindled with each new recipe. New visitors and guests; it's been a pleasure to "meet" you and you all did a GREAT job too. Directions don't seem to be my forte but somehow, you managed to grasp hold and run with it. Some of you, you know who you are, and now so does everyone else, carried two dishes to the picnic again this year, and we appreciate it. A shout out to you too Heather! Thanks for updating our Logo. It looks GREAT! We did it, not only do we have a menagerie of people and dishes, we have each and every letter of the alphabet! Thank you all. It's been an enormous amount of fun. If you didn't get to play the picnic game this year, not to worry, I have it from a very reliable source that we just may be doing this again next year:) Now, let the feast begin!!! Enjoy, Louise:)
Wow! What an accomplishment! Amazing dishes!

ReplyDeleteOh Louise! This picnic is so great! Thanks for inviting me and you did such a great job coordinating this. I'm looking forward to visiting everyone here, but we're off to the beach today. I'm adding a link to this post at the end of mine. Happy 4th!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was such fun, Louise! And I met some new blogs that I really enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteYou are a good sport to organize it every year.
Have a lovely 4th!
And I'm glad you think this side blog is fun. I really have so many little things I never posted. Am going to try to keep the words brief and concentrate on the recipes!
This picnic is fantastic! What great choices. I'll have a little bit of everything, and I won't gain any weight.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for putting this together! Love the picnic cloth, too!

ReplyDeleteNice logo banner, Louise... and I also enjoy the music playlist with the movie. The ladybugs picnic song is so cute.
Louise, Once again I was very lame in not being able to participate, but I am not sure I could even compete with the incredible offerings put forth by the other bloggers. I will do my best for next year, and think I will start now so I will have plenty of time.
ReplyDeletehi louise, this must have been fun for everyone taking part and checking what to make from the alphabets that they have picked. Such great menu!!
