I've read several blogs today that have remarked about reaching the 200 post mark and celebrating, some even having a giveaway. For you, my trusted 8 followers, I'm LOOONG past my 200th post. This post will actually be my 325th post. So in that honor, I too shall have a giveaway.
All you have to do is leave a comment* and I will use Random.org to generate the winning number. Since we are talking about random, the giveaway will surely surprise you with all sorts of random things I've made, including, but not limited to: prints of photos, mini inspiration cards, handmade cards, a CD mixtape (is it really a mix tape if it is CD?), and pretty much anything else I have up my sleeve that I think is nifty that I have made. There you have it. Easy breezy beautiful...wait, back to the deets...
*Comment Rules: You must leave a comment with one of the following topics (only one topic per comment, up to 3 comments accepted, FB user comments will be added to the end of the Blogger count):
- favorite recipe (because I'm in desperate need of some new ones to try, and don't be generic and say kraft mac & cheese, b/c that will be minus 1 entry)
- must have gadget that you adore (can be something you use or something kid-related)
- your favorite handmade item of all time (mine is this denim jumper my grandmother made for me and she hand appliqued a yellow daisy and an image of raggedy ann doll and it was the first piece that she ironed on her Made with Love by Grandma tag on it. I wore it so much the iron on fell off, but I saved the dress so Mari can wear it too!)

My favorite must have right now is my keychain 1 oz jar of purple Play-Doh! Yepp!!!! My boss gave it to me at the beginning of the school year so that I would focus my energy on meetings rather than my phone! And by golly it works! When I get anxious/nervous in a meeting, I pull out my Play-Doh! You would be surprised how much of a stress relaxer it is!!!!!
I have 2 favorite handmade items. 1 is the various stuffed bunnies, "BunBun" as they were called. I slept with BunBun's every night since I was a baby! He was my security blanket! The ears were silky so I loved rubbing them! Let me tell you that I rubbed the ears sooo much that eventually there was no silky left! HAHA!!!! The 2nd item is this denim bag my adopted grandma made me. It is a should bag big enough to carry your swimsuit & towel in. It is blue denim on the outside and red on the inside. On the front there is a small pocket and the pocket has my name that she sewed on it and flowers. Super cute! I still use it to this day for various outings, like taking a blanket to the park!
Favorite handmade item is, by far, the dollhouse bookshelf Roger built for the girls' playroom. I LOVE it. It looks like a dollhouse and holds so many books, puzzles, blocks, etc. It's beautiful and it was the first piece he made for Brooke (from a picture in a Pottery Barn catalog, no less).
Crockpot BBQ Chicken...so good
2 chicken breasts
1.5 cups ketchup
3 T brown sugar
1 T Worcestershire sauce
1T soy sauce
1 T cider vinegar
1 tsp red hot pepper flakes (like the kind you put on pizza)
1/2 tsp garlic powder (I don't use this, I throw in some minced garlic instead)
Mix all ingredients for the sauce in the crockpot. Add the chicken and coat it in sauce.
Cook on high for 3-4 hours or until chicken in fully cooked all the way through.
I usually double the recipe.
It is soooo good!
OK - you have 13 followers on Google Reader, just so you know.
I have too many favorite recipes!!
Favorite main dish is: Chicken Breasts in Vermouth Sauce; it's yummy and pretty easy. Favorite dessert is: big and chewy chocolate chip cookies.
I can give you either if you need them!
