Congratulations to Elsie! Her name was randomly drawn as the winner of the tea towels and dish clothes for week 4 of the BCE Contest. Thanks to everyone who participated in the month long Christmas contest. It was a lot of fun. Look for more give-a-ways in the future.
My favorite holiday treat is Puppy Chow. No I don’t eat dog food with my eggnog. It’s that yummy stuff made with Peanut Butter, chocolate and Chex cereal.
Over low heat melt together 12 oz of chocolate chips, 1/4 Cup of margarine, and 1 Cup of peanut butter. Pour over one box of Rice Chex cereal in a large bowl. Stir until well coated. Pour mixture into a large paper bag and add in 1 1/2 Cups of powder sugar. Shake well to coat. Store in a cool place. Careful, once you start eating it you can’t stop.
Congratulations to Paige! Her name was randomly drawn as the winner in week 3′s Best Christmas Ever Give-A-Way Contest.
This week I’m giving away a pair of Snowman Christmas ornaments. To be entered for a chance to win leave a comment about the best Christmas present you ever received. I can narrow it down to two, both from my husband. The first year we were married he bought me an expensive leather coat for Christmas. Being newlyweds without a lot of money, it seemed very extravagant at the time. It made me feel special every time I wore it. It doesn’t really fit anymore and is pretty worn after 10 years, but it still hangs in our coat closet. Usually I don’t hold on to things for sentimental reasons, but I can’t bring myself to part with it. The other favorite gift he gave me was my KitchenAid Stand Mixer. A kitchen appliance seems unromantic, I know. I wanted one for a long time, but thought they just cost way too much, so I stuck with my little hand mixer. He gave it to me the Christmas I was pregnant with our son who was born just 15 days later. I was about to embark on my new life as a SAHM, and he knew I was looking forward to being able to spend more time cooking and baking in the kitchen. I look forward to reading about your favorite gifts.
