Oh, goodie! "Can I wear Scarlett's green dress? I wanna wear Scarlett's green dress"
My Sue Ellen Ohara impression. :)

Oh Nikki!
I love parties and balls! I'm excited! Thanks for inviting me! I will be there! I'm not sure what I will wear yet. Maybe red! I think that I'm in the mood for red!

Hi, Nikki,
It's me again. I just wanted to tell you, I always wanted to get a better look in Scarlet's close, and your picture let's me do that. :)
I see her green robe. Do you? I don't recognize any others, but look at all those hat boxes!
hehehehe

I am excited about your GWTW ball, May I join you with some reminescence from my 87 yr old mother who saw it 4 times in 1939?
I do not know what else I can do but relive her memories.

Nikki, Your timing is perfect! I just finished reading GWTW for my book club. So I will be doing a book review for the party. I loved the book! I saw the movie many years ago and have asked for it for my birthday in Oct. In fact I am so excited about it I went to the library to check out the movie, just so I could watch it right after I finished the book. You know you can't buy the movie right now as all of the copies have been pulled for the 70th Anniversary Special Edition Release. I can't wait! : )

This was an awesome idea!

Sounds like a lot of fun, Nikki! I have some Scarlett dolls. Maybe I can post them. I love GWTW, in fact, we just watched it again a few days ago after touring a plantation house. Kinda makes you in a mood. I guess I can blog about that too, right?...Christine

This is fantastic. I am visiting your blog from the Wizard of Oz Celebration and I looked up out of curiousity about the anniversary of GWTW which is this year.

What a great way to celebrate.

Thank you for thinking of this for us bloggers to honor this wonderful movie.

I can't believe I stumbled upon this blog and found out about this party. I am kind of new to the blogging world and I am not sure what I am suppose to be doing for this party. Just blog about GWTW and share what I have? I LOVE the movie (all time fav.) and have read the book soo many times I have practically memorized it. I have collected TONS of stuff over the years. I am in even though I am not real sure what I am supposed to be doing....Please advise....Sooo excited, Debbie....
