Giveaway Time!

Recently I was contacted by the folks at CSN stores about a giveaway opportunity. Their stores are varied. Everything from living room and dining room furniture to sofas to home decor. They offered me the opportunity to give away this beautiful wall art:

It measures 27.5" H x 42" W x 2.875" D. I think it has endless possibilities. Plus it's multicolors would go with many different decors. It can be hung as it in the picture or rotated to be horizontal.

This giveaway is open to US residents.
To enter, leave a comment on this post, telling me as this year comes to a close, what's your favorite memory of 2009? And leave me an email address for me to contact you!

Giveaway will close 1/4/2010 at 5pm PST.  Good luck!

Beef Stroganoff Meatloaf

A couple of weeks I was contacted by the nice folks at County Bob's about their sauce. They were very sweet to send me 2 bottles and some recipes for me to try. After looking at their website I decided to make beef stroganoff meatloaf. I love meatloaf and Tai loves beef stroganoff. Yummy. The sauce makes the whole dish! But the meatloaf itself is perfect. Excellent comfort food. I meant to make mashed potatoes and peas to go with it but Tai was called out on massage duty. The problem of having a husband that gives awesome massages! So we had a quick dinner before hitting the road to help a friend with a back problem. I'll make this again and do it up right!

The Sherpas Have Arrived

No not really, Meg. UPS finally brought my package from Target. Sigh. Thank goodness because it's time for my 400th post and my first giveaway. Yup that's right a giveaway.
Here's Linda random box of goodies! There's a collapsible colander, a set of magnetic clips, Goody's hair bands, 2 packages of Lipton tea (Green Tea with Mandarin Orange and White Tea with Mango), and a pizza cutter. All these were chosen because these are things I like and I want to share with you.

2. Sorry, I can only ship to US addresses only.
3. One entry per person.
4. I'll choose a winner via random.org on April 3rd noon PST.

I Puffy Heart Free Stuff

Last month Erin mentioned President Brie Log. I'd never seen it before so I commented that I would like to try it. So last week, someone in their PR department contacted me about send me a brie log for free. I love free stuff so I said sign me up.
Here's what arrived:
I was really surprised to find this bag full of goodies!

Aside from the cheese:
There was this Mango Chutney.And Carr's Crackers to go with it all!
I'm quite pleased with the brie log. It's just like the regular brie but in a more convenient shape. I have not tried the chutney, so I will report back when I do.
As you can see, I don't accept advertising on my blog. I think of you guys as my friends so I wouldn't accept money to tell you how much I like something. Now, if I get more free goodies, I'll definitely let you guys know and let you know how I liked them.
