Giveaway ... "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner ?"

Imagine ... if you were to have a dinner party, and could invite ANYONE ( living or not ). Who would you invite ? I love asking new friends this question ... the answers I hear are all so fun and insightful. So curious who would land on the guest list of your soiree !
So here's the giveaway part ... between today and Tues, the 31st, enter your dream-list of up to 6 "guests" in the comments of this post (one entry per person ). After having the the lucky winner chosen via Random.org , I will announce the winner on Wed., the 1st of April. At that point, I will then ask for their shipping address in a private email.

I have made this reverse printed and handsilvered beveled glass sign for the winner !

Here is just one of my guest lists ...

Lisa,

First, let me say I love the sign - it's just lovely.

My six would be:

My Grandfather - he passed away in 1994 and I really miss him. He was super cool.

My Mom - she passed away in 2001 and I'd do anything to spend even another minute with her. She was really cool, too.

I'm on a roll, so I pick my Nahas great grandparents and my Tamer great grandparents. I want to know why they came to the US and what they were like.

I would also pick Tony Bennett and (*heart*) Jimmy Carter, but I've used up my six.

Thanks for the opportunity!!
