I’m hardly reluctant when it comes to entertaining, but I’d love to be more organized and have getting ready for guest be a little less chaotic. Thanks for posting this. 🙂
Here’s why I’d love to win. Hubby loves to have people over and really has the “gift” of hospitality. We have a home big enough to entertain now, but the only thing missing is creativity on my end. I tend to stress a little too much and worry I’m not doing it just right! Looks like some great tips and simple ideas!
I am the WORST at hospitality. Seriously, I scored like the lowest for hospitality on spiritual gifts. I need all the help I can get!!
I love to entertain! The more, the merrier!
I used to be great about having people over…then I had 3 kids! I am really wanting to get back in the swing of things. Maybe this is what I need to kick-start me!!
Following @SandyCoughlinRE!
I LOVE to entertain, but I would like ways and to read about how to make it more simple and comfortable for my guests – like Grandmas home or a great friend for anyone who came to my home!!!
I’d love to have some entertaining tricks up my sleeve. Thanks for offering.
I tweeted the giveaway. I will put the url in the linky as well. http://twitter.com/lavonnelong/statuses/20640503598

The title of the book describes me. I was nominated to have some Mom’s from play group over tomorrow night. I was trying to come up with every excuse on why my apt wasn’t the best. I just get so nervous.
I’m shy… but would really love to entertain more often!! 🙂
I love to entertain and this book would be such a help!
I love Sandy’s ideas, but more than that, I admire her vision of hospitality. I would love to read this book — and then pass it on.
I came across Sandy through A Woman Inspired and instantly fell in love with her outlook on life! I love having fun with a crowd of people but “entertaining” scares the crap out of me! She definitely smooths the edges on my rough hillbilly parties!
I follow her on Twitter…duh… 😉
Heard a lot about this book and would love to win one. Sounds fun!
