What's in a name?
That which we call a rose
by any other name would
smell as sweet
~From Shakespeare's
Romeo and Juliet, 1594
It's time for a party at my place!
I've had countless people ask about the name I use for blogging,
SARES
I'm sure many of you thought it was strange and have never
heard it before. I've never heard it anywhere else either.
So...on Thursday November the 19th, I'm going to have a name party.
I'll share with you all how I came by the name Sares.
What you have to do if you want to participate, is have a post ready
on that day, sharing a special name.
Examples:
Your name, does it have any special significance
A nickname you may have
How and why you came to name your children what you did
The history behind any family name
Do you ever wish your name was different
How you came to name your blog
Anything goes, just share what makes a name so special to you.
I will post a reminder the week of the party and I'm going to try put
Mr. Linky up the night before the party. I hope he is nice and works
out for me! I don't want any trouble from him.
I am also having a giveaway, 3 to be exact!

All of this, is very sweet of you! Especially in the middle of the not-so-lovely month of Nov. :-) Well to me, it's not so lovely... But that's just me.
Anyway, I love that you have chosen the unique name of 'Sares' for your blogging name. I guess I love everything with is unique. And what better to be unique, than a name?
My blogging name isn't all the unique, I *fear*. ,-) But it had its purpose.
Gentle hugs,
Aunt Amelia

Oh Sares,
I love all three of these movies. Could I just have my name added to the drawing, and it wouldn't matter which one, as I have none of these. I have always loved them too.
Thanks for sharing sweetie. Country hugs and love, Sherry
