Christmas has come and gone and the New Year beckons us with promises of new beginnings, joy, love and success. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all my wonderful friends and readers a Happy New Year. It has been one awesome year hanging out with all my fellow Mariucans here and at MPG. Everyone has been so supportive and I could not have asked for a better bunch of friends. A special birthday wish also goes out to Bobby Revell today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Bobby, have a blast on your special day!
And now, I'd like to take this time to present one lucky reader with what could possibly be the last Mariuca Mug from me! This time, I’d like to find out how well my readers know me. We’ve been friends for more than a year and I think you pretty much know my dislikes and my likes. So, for this contest, I’d like you to answer this question:
“If money is no object, what would you give Mariuca as the world’s best Christmas present?”
Simple enough right? The person who can present me with the ultimate gift that I'd definitely LOVE wins this Mariuca Christmas Mug! Please see rules below:

About the Mug
This Mariuca mug was specially ordered by me from the very creative Emila. It was hand painted using Pébéo Porcelaine 150 paint, and then laid to dry for 24 hours before baking in the domestic oven at 150 degrees Celsius for 35 minutes. Remarkably resistant to dishwashing and normal detergents, the paint does not wear off after washing.
Have fun and GOOD LUCK! :)

Heya!! Have a wonderful and fruitful 2008 k!!
Hmm... to answer ur question.. the best present would be to make the present using his/her own means.. and so.. prolly would make essences from flowers/fruits so that it can be used as perfumes since u like perfumes... =D
Anyway, realised that i don't have a link to ur blog from mine.. so just added a link too...
Happy New Year. Wish you a Great and Joyful year a head. Have fun & smile always. :)
Thanks for stopping by Mariuca. I fixed that error you reported, thank you very much.
As far as what I'd give you for Christmas. This is what I'd do:
- A big house for you and your family. Each room would be special. - One big room just for your cat and her friends.
- Another with salon, spa, and massage
- A computer room with the latest computer gadgets, biggest screen, and fastest internet connection
- Advertise your perfume world wide so you will be even more successful in your business, plus all the resources and benefits you need to run your business.
Haha Merry Christmas!
i think 2 air tickets for you and B to travel around the world without worrying much about living will be best for you,and what make it perfect is if your 3 kitties can follow you to every corner of the world..hehe..eventhough I am not knowing you for a long time,but you can consider the first one that I know through bloging..Happy New Year and wish that it will be a fruitful year for you and B..!
Hi Mariuca!
I know what NOT to get you.... a big dog that barks. Nope, I will not send one over :-)
The present for you? A round the world vacation with stops at the most beautiful places on the planet Earth. You will stay at famous hotels, board fabulous oceon liners, and see the wonders of the world. When you get back home, your blogs will be the top 10 for the entire blogoshere. Whooo Hooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
Have a blessed and wonderful new year.
Your friend, Eric from "Speedcat Hollydale"

Daily Laughter to work your cardio strength. The items that are listed can't be bought with money. But with such a good kind heart like yours, these are already in your hands for free.
Marz, as 2007 comes to a close, I would like to express my gratitude to you for the much support and kind comments to my shallow site. I have learn much about blogging from you. As you are very well aware, I am pretty much, still a beginner.
As 2008 comes a knocking, I hope to strengthen our friendship that is really far from virtual.
"Grow Old Along with Me.
The Best is Yet to Be."

Hi Marzie. If money is no object, I wud like to sponsor "Blogosphere Goodwill Ambassador, Genie Princess" for an exhilarating jet-set trip around the world to stay in the most luxurious hotel at every stop. A chauffeur driven limo will take her places, including a fancy restaurant where she gets to meet her blogger friends.
Happy New Year Sweetie!:)
Naz
Happy new year 2008! Marzie

The answer to your contest question: If money is no object, your present will be a trip (for two of course-you and your other half) to a Christmas hut in north pole in a private jet to enjoy a really white romantic Christmas!
Cheers!

That is a very cute mug. Happy New Year to you.
Hi Marzie!!! Here's my Magical Mariucan Christmas present...just for you!!!!!! (maybe I should have waited to make my entry...but I just couldn't wait)
If I could get you the ultimate Christmas present, money wouldn't suffice, it would require some serious magic! I would have the Mariuca Magic Castle of Perfumes and Kitty's built for you! Magically carved of white gold and platinum, the wondrous scents of exotic perfumes would create an ambiance of tranquility for all within a thousand miles.
Being that you like to play Sims games, your magic castle would be your palace...the heart of your own real life fantasy city ...MARIUTOPIA!!!! Complete with your very own TGI Fridays and squad of the worlds best kitty groomers. It would have a magical transporter so you could travel anywhere on Earth instantly, so you could visit Isabella or have her transport to visit you!
You would have a magical perfume lab...containing every delicious scent known. You could then design the first Mariuca Perfume...the most perfect perfume ever made!!!! Also...a magical perfume bottle maker would be on hand to craft beautiful perfume bottles for you.
Of course, it wouldn't be complete without the ultimate blog upgrade for both of your blogs! Wordpress engineers would construct your super sites exactly to your Mariucan specifications with impenetrable security to protect you from all hackers! Although this present is quite opulent, and maybe fantastically cool -you would have the MARIUTOPIA fantasy city as my gift from me to you!!! Merry Christmas Marzie:):):)
