BERTIE & ME, WHAT A DREAM!...AND A WINNER!

On March 6 I had a Saturday Giveaway opportunity...and the drawing was supposed to have been on Sunday night 3/14/10. Just wanted to say "I'm sorry" and ask you forgiveness in NOT getting the giveaway handled(due to many reasons, let me just say).

Finally, today the names of those who posted from 3/6/2010-3/14/2010 were added into random.org so WE HAVE A WINNER. The top name after hitting the random order number button,

There were 48 items in your list. Here they are in random order:
Chari@HappyToDesign Timestamp: 2010-03-23 18:23:23 UTC...

so, Chari, send your 'snail mail' name and address to me at Skoots1Mom@gmail.com and it will be on its way to you!


SECONDLY, THESE ADORABLE CUPCAKES CERTAINLY CAUGHT MY EYE...
AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE GIVEAWAYS TO GO ALONG WITH THE.

One such giveaway is for BERTIE...the below blender.
Kacey and Francesca are eager to hear our stories about birthdays, parties and the like giving reasons we would like to have BERTIE come live at our house.




Well, I would so love for Bertie to come live at my house...so I can give my current mixer to someone who doesn't mind a noisy kitchen.


Hubby 'kinda' listened and bought me a stand mixer one Christmas...hhmmm.


I've STRUGGLED to MAKE IT into a Kitchenaide...but, a Kitchenaide it ain't. It is certainly an IT.


IT's bowl truly holds onto the base but when I need to remove it for cleaning, IT hangs onto the base as if I'm going to torture it with my dish detergent and scrubby...."No, you can't make me go!", IT screams.


IT also roars like a lion when on LOW (I've not been brave enough to put it on HIGH, IT might might fly off the base and out through the roof off like a jet engine...or IT might report me to the Department of Family and Mixer Services for unfair labor in my kitchen.).


Finally, it's WHITE...I like white, really...but, everything in my kitchen is either stainless or black ("but it was a GOOD deal"...so he said)


Oh, Bertie, I long for your saying "adios" to Francesca and Kacey, long for our times together bidding "so long" to IT and llong to form a lasting relationship while we mix, whip, knead, and cream our combined talents creating tasty treats for my family and all those who will want to meet you!
