Who Won the Best in Show Award?

The votes have been tallied (quick and easy, as Blogger does this for me) and a special award has been created for one talented blogger. What kind of blogger? A party animal! Not that kind of party animal, you sillies - my kind of party animal. The winning blogger recently went all out for her 1 year old's birthday. (Click the photo for a free pirate printable!) There was a ship to play inside. And a jaw-dropping treasure chest cake! It's best to heed the birthday girl's demands! Not impressed by pirates? Phooey to you! Still, perhaps you'll be tempted by another offering from the winning blogger. Delphinium Dollup Chocolate Cake Balls, anyone? Way to go, The Outlaw Mom ! I love the name of your blog. Thanks to everyone who linked up! For another chance at the Best in Show award, swing by LambAround tomorrow for another Not "Baaad" Sundays blog hop. Have a great night, my bloggy friends!

Feeling the Stress Melt Away

My Hot Ham and Cheese Crepes (and fun giveaway!) have been featured on TasteSpotting! (pink circle: proof that my computer really is sooo ridiculously slow) (purple circle: always looking for that next fabulous cruise deal - it has been over 13 months since I've been on a cruise ship!) This is the first photo that I've had accepted to TasteSpotting. I'm feeling pretty darn great about myself right now! On a side note, I was not feeling great at all before finding out this TasteSpotting news, courtesy of the dummies at the Target pharmacy. Shouldn't you have to have at least a little common sense to work at a pharmacy? Ooooh, I'm so ticked off at them right now. More to come.

Even Creepy Guys Can't Keep Me From the Mailbox

Remember the last time I wrote about walking down to my mailbox? Well, even creepy creeps aren't going to stop me from checking the mail every day. I've been getting too many nifty things! Look what has arrived within the past week: I looooove blog giveaways! Really, most of them only seem to have ~100 entries or so. I like those odds! Thank you, Kara at Mine for the Making and Michele at The Scrap Shoppe for my pretty ring. I wore it to work last week and received so many compliments! I also won a giveaway from Megan at Half-Pint House . See if you can decipher my fancy new art tile: (Hint: It's my last name) Hmmm...if you already know my last name, I guess that's less of a hint and more of me just ruining the game. Sorry! I like this cute goose (swan?) the best. And an extra-special thank you to Sue at Spell-It-Out Photos who helped me design my tile, even going to the trouble of providing a specially requested background color.
