My Mom is in town and she randomly selected a comment and the winner of the 2008 Taste of Home cookbook is Sara! I hope you enjoy the cook book!
I hope you all had fun checking out (and hopefully winning!) some of the great giveaways! Be sure to check out Bloggy Giveaways each week for lots of neat giveaways!
Have ya'll seen all of the giveaways?!! If you haven't head over here and check them all out! My goodness there are lots of neat things!!
Since it is the time of year when I am particularly interested in cooking and baking and I am always looking for new recipes- I thought I would give away a brand new copy of the 2008 Taste of Home Annual Recipes cookbook. It is full of yummy recipes and just in time to try for the holidays!

To enter, simply leave a comment on this post (make sure I have your email). Comments will close at 11PM CST on October 31st, 2008, and a winner will be randomly drawn on November 1st. I will post the winner and send an email to the winner requesting your mailing information. The winner will have four days to respond- if I don't hear back I will have to choose a new winner. Entries without a valid email will not be eligible. (so no anonymous comments, because hello, how will I contact you?) This giveaway is open to US residents only because the shipping charges to go international freak me out. You don't have to be a blogger to play along, but you do have to have an e-mail address. (and be willing to give me your mailing info)
And make sure you go check out all of the amazing giveaways!
Go check out Angela's (from the Painted House) picture- too funny and makes me laugh! How can you not vote for this picture?

I think all Mom's can relate to Trisha's playroom post.
Check out the links- I have added a lot in the last couple of weeks!
To all of you who have emailed me questions during the last few months, I am slowly getting around to answering! I have not forgotten- it's just taking me awhile to get caught up- so hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will be completely up to date on my emails!
I have added several new links- go check them out! If you want to be linked, send me an email. And I finally remembered my google id/password, so for all of you on blogger- I can comment again!!
A quick note- since I haven't updated things around here in a few months, I'm trying to do a little housekeeping during the next week or so. For my friends who I know personally who have blogs- I'm never sure if I should link to you or not. I'm not sure if you are trying to keep it personal or would appreciate a link- anyway if you want me to link to you send me an email and I will add you. If not, I'll just enjoy your blog!
Oh dear readers, we're having that talk again. Hundreds of people are coming over to my little corner of the internet each day (WOW!) but why no comment love? It's like I'm in high-school and no-one will sign my year book. So the moral of this post, is to leave me a comment!
Did I mention that I am a contributor over at Blissfully Domestic? I didn't? Well, I meant too!! Head over to check out all of the great articles- if you aren't a reader yet, you need to be! This week at Blissfully Domestic you will find all things baby in honor of Alli (Mrs. Fussypants), she is expecting her fifth little one this month! There are lots of great giveaways- and I happen to know that lots of you who are regular readers are either expecting or already have a little one in your family so these would be great giveaways! Anyway go check things out and leave some comment love!
