I hope you have a wonderful New Year's Eve. I am so glad to have met you Muse.

I think this game has an element of:

difficulty

The difficulty with the recipe involved using two TABLESPOONS of minced garlic when I already had indigestion! ;-)

My word was TABLESPOONS (eleven letters).

Actually, INDIGESTION could have worked there, too. ;-)

So either one.

Love the banner on your page and your blog lay out. Happy New Year!

Just dropping by to say Hello & thank you for commenting on my blog. I hope you'll return, DebraK

I would like to see a better pic of the project you're doing (the Venetian plaster one) I want to see it up close...you cannot enlarge the photo here.

Hey Muse! So glad to see you're back safe and sound! And thanks for spending time with me on the blog today! My mind is racing with the Freudian meaning behind your words - but I suppose only time will tell! :) Happy New Year!

I'm late into this game! The last couple of commenters didn't leave a word, so don't know if I'm supposed to start over, but if I am, the word is "I".

Thanks for dropping by my blog! I'm having fun looking at your's.

Since Alyson started over, my word is: MY.

Hope you had a fantastic New Year's, Muse!

Thanks for coming by my blog and for the encouragement. I like to try my hand at writing. I know that I'm not very good, but practice. lol If someone is offended by my attempts, then they can hit delete or not read them. This year, I've decided to branch out and try new things. Who knows, I may find something that I love to do!

My word is: You

My word: Muse!
