First of all a couple of things I have received...
Pink and Green Mama GAVE me this award. You'll have to go here to read all of the nice things she said about me. Thanks so much!
Also, my friend Becky had a GIVEAWAY on her blog and I won!!! 
She brought by these gorgeous scrapbook papers and some chocolate (not around long enough to be pictured) last week. Thanks, Becky!
And most importantly Barry's famous molasses cookies were mailed and received this week.
Remember the proceeds from the cookie purchase went to the Nielson family, who continues to be in need of your prayers and support. The picture at the top of this post shows how I packaged them.
Here is the man himself with the packing label I made.
I decided to say they were from "Barry's Bakery." I think he got a kick out of that. He really could open his own bakery, but it would be a MAN's bakery. No meringues and such. Everything rich, dense, and served in large portions!
And my hand-painted Halloween cookies, you ask? Well, my most generous and fantastic recipient of my cookies and I agreed that it would be more fun to get them a little closer to Halloween. Which is coming soon. Which brings me to the GIVEAWAY portion of this post...
I am going to bake/paint an additional dozen Hand-painted Halloween Butter Cookies to give to one of you lucky blog readers! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me which of my insane posts is your favorite (yes, I know you don't have time to read all 100 posts--so cheat and pretend like you really like one on my front page, if you like--I'll never know). Make sure you have a blog or an email address so I can contact you if you win. I can only mail to the contiguous U.S. (sorry AK and HI, and the rest of you all).
Remember...this is what the cookies look like--only Halloween-themed--and possibly slightly less detailed.
The giveaway will close at 8:31pm (Arizona time) on Sunday, Oct. 19. Why? Because at that moment, my baby will turn 1 year old! Here is another way I used my Welcome pumpkins last year.
Alright...talk to me!
I am totally into your everything gourmet group and I'm obsessed with it. I still want some details, PLEASE, PLEASE! I love your blog and I read it everytime you post. You should pick me because we used to be neighbors and I used to do your hair. I also think you're talented beyond measure of my own!

What haven't I loved? I love your gourmet group... I loved LOVED the Nancy Drew Party. I'm hoping to use your ideas next summer when my daughter has her next birthday.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is your Girl's Night Out flip flop invitations!!! So adorable and so crafty, thanks so much for the chance!!
ReplyDeleteI love Trenton's Truck Birthday! You had awesome ideas and everything looked great.
ReplyDeleteOh my heavens...how am I supposed to decide on which one I like the best? You are an entertaining genious. I too like the girls night out...the entire event...
ReplyDeleteI originally found you on SugarDoodle, when she posted about your "Which Witch are You?" post. Anyway, my favorite post is your Girls Night Out post. I love anything with flip-flops, and I might just have to borrow this idea, and have a girls night out of my own!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite post so far is..."Which Witch are You?" I loved your ideas and invitation so much that I planned a Witches Night Out Girlfriend Party yesterday right after I saw your ideas...The invitations have been done (some handed out, some emailed) and I have a list of food, games and prizes...Can't wait for Oct. 24th and my girlfriends can't wait either. Thanks for the great ideas...keep them coming! Happy 100th Post!
ReplyDeleteI would have to say the "which witch" too. Sooo cute!! I totally want to win!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow do you expect us to pick a favorite?! This is too hard. I do think of and LOVE your space themed birthday party post everytime I pack my daughter's snack for Kindergarten and she asks for a "juice bag"
ReplyDeleteGeez. I go away (from blogging) for 4 days and look what I miss! I'd have to say my favorite post is the one where you mentioned my all-time fave Trader Joe's salt scrub. Ha! Okay, how about the one (was this one actually on your insanity blog??) about the advent cubes? I still have to make that one... Or the Pumpkin Waffles... that's on tap for this weekend! PICK ME! PICK ME!! Ü
ReplyDeleteI don't know what make me happier...all of your fantastic eye candy, or the name of your blog!! My faorite so far??.....See Dick and Jane decorate my loft.
ReplyDeleteKendra, I subscribed to your blog and I am amazed. It is so professional and creative. I love the post about the last Gourmet group especially since you did not include any pictures of me dancing :-).
ReplyDeleteI love the reunion ideas, especially about starting a blog! I am in charge of our family reunion next year and I loved all your ideas! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm not entering to win... I have a million painted cookies in a box on my counter right now...
ReplyDeleteHOWEVER, I will chime in that my favorite posts of yours are the ones about your gourmet group. I wish I had such a group, but I don't know other insane people like us down my way... :( Oh, well. And I love your post about the waffles because you were kind enough to reference me. :) You are so good to me. :)
Congratulations on the big #100!!! And Happy Birthday, Tessa doll!
I like your post on the "bat" invites you created - very cool.
ReplyDeleteBTW, your baby is SO CUTE! Mine will be one on 12/4 :-)
Naturally, my favorites are the ones (I think there are 2?) where you show my cakes :-) And I'm not entering to win either--that whole sugar-free thing, you know...
ReplyDeleteI love coming here for all your great ideas! I think you must be wonder woman :)
ReplyDelete100 posts of goodness - Thanks for letting me lurk
Hi Kendra! Congrats on your 100th post! I'd have to say my favorite is the Back to School lunch post, so many cute ideas!!

Oops I forgot...your Welcome post for Halloween last year was so cute. I would have never thought of this cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI am late with this, but I really loved you last post about the family who dresses for Halloween together stays together. We always dress up for Halloween here at my house. One Year I made us all skunk costumes (so easy!).
