Winners will be drawn by random.org

but forget to come back to comment,

You can do any or all of the above. You can request a different prize for each entry, or the same prize for every entry you complete. I plan to keep drawing for a prize until random.org chooses someone who wants that particular prize. So if you REALLY want a particular prize, you'll improve your chances by listing it for each of your entries.

I will draw for the five winners on Saturday, April 7 at 8 PM Eastern and will announce the winners in a blog post. If you are not No Reply, I will also email you. WINNERS HAVE 24 HOURS TO CLAIM THEIR PRIZES BY EMAILING ME. Otherwise, I'll redraw on Sunday, April 8.

OH, and I just found out that Blogger no longer allows numbering of comments, so I guess I'm counting by hand. Repeatedly, until I get winners who want each of the prizes. Free shipping to US and Canada. All others pay actual shipping.

I hope this all was clearer than mud. If you're confused, let me know and GOOD LUCK in advance!

GIVEAWAY!! FREEBIES!!! FINALLY GETTING IT TOGETHER!!! TOO MANY EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!!

Big-hearted Cindy from Pine Branch Designs has agreed to offer TWO more prizes for the giveaway I've been promising!!!!!!!!! She's going to give away a $20 certificate PLUS one of her awesome pieces of magnetic jewelry!! THAT MEANS WE WILL HAVE FIVE WINNERS!!!!!!!!!

I'm really excited about it and I want to take the time to do a decent post and also to give you the drawing date. In addition, I'll add some entry details so that you can change enter to win her items or you can change your "vote", if you've already entered and would rather have one of hers!! I have just been swamped with orders, which is a good thing. But still...swamped, LOL!

In the meantime, CLICK HERE to go cruise around Cindy's shop so you can plan how you'll spend your $20 when you win!! Wooo HOOOO!!

Pnterest and Giveaway - Hope You're Not Offended

By my Pinterest find.
If you are, I'm sorry.
But the sentiment does
have some truth to it.


Can't please everyone.
So you gotta please yourself.
(Another oldie song.)

I have a TON of order to do,
but I'll try to pop in soon
with a more normal post.

And maybe some word, finally,
about the GIVEAWAY!! Sheesh.

GIVEAWAY and YUM, Meatless Mexican Pizza

Woo-hoo, Cindy, the owner of Pine Branch Designs (CLICK HERE) wants to add an item to my GIVEAWAY!

(CLICK HERE TO SEE MY PRIZES)!!

She's at a conference right now (she's a special ed teacher, coincidentally), so I should have pictures and details about her amazing prize and how to enter for it (including a date for the drawing) by mid-week or so!

And now YAY!!

Another meatless Mexican dish!
Vegetarian, but not vegan.
I can only do so much.

I love this recipe - it's so forgiving.
You can add stuff you like
and eliminate stuff you don't.
Ingredients don't have to be exact -
it will still turn out delicious!

Mexican Pizza Casserole
2 Morningstar Farms fake chicken patties
(technically called Chik Patty Originals)
1 cup sour cream (regular, fat free or light, whatever)
1 10 3/4 oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk (2%, whole milk, skim, whatever)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup black beans (low sodium is great)
1 7 oz can chopped green chilis
1 small can sliced black olives
1/3 of 16 oz bag frozen corn
1 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
handful of fresh mushrooms, sliced
margarine
fresh ground black pepper to taste
about 1/4 large bag of plain tortilla chips

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Zap the fake chicken patties in the microwave for just long enough to soften them a little. Cut them into roughly 1/2" pieces and set aside.

Plop some margarine in a pot. Saute the mushrooms, garlic and onions for a few minutes over medium heat. When onions are translucent, dump in frozen corn, stir and turn off heat.

In a large bowl, combine mushroom soup, sour cream, chilis, milk, pepper and about 1 1/2 C of the shredded cheddar. Stir to combine. Dump in the fake chicken, beans, olives and corn mixture.

Crush up some tortilla chips (I usually just put them in a baggie and smoosh them with my hand) and add to the mixture in the bowl. Keep crushing chips and adding them till the mixture seems about the right consistency - not soupy and not too dry.

Spread in a greased 11"x13" pan. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

Bake for about 45 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving. YUM!!

YAY, It's the WEEKEND!!

I'm hoping to do a regular post sometime this weekend. Again, things have been really hectic. I will be adding some new items to Etsy this weekend and I have some orders to fulfill...besides the usual "excitement" of laundry, washing floors, etc.

I also have not forgotten that I have totally dropped the ball on the

GIVEAWAY!! CLICK HERE

if you still have not entered to win one of my three prizes. I will TRY to get it together enough to at least set a date for the drawing!!

At least spring break is coming...maybe I can finally catch up.
Thanks for visiting!

Birthday Ramble

Errr, to ME, actually!
Is it sad that I'm wishing it to myself?? LOL
At least it falls on a weekend this year.

I have several orders, so I'll be sewing up a storm, and I made something ADORABLE and am hoping to get some pics up. That is actually fun for me. We did the birthday dinner thing on Friday and I'm going to make that Mexican Tater Tot Casserole that I liked so much.

AND, WALKING DEAD IS ON!!
WALK-ING DEAD!!
WALK-ING DEAD!!!!
(It's a chant.
Say it in your head.)

Yeah, she's sick alright.

Here's kind of a cool thing I happened upon yesterday.
You can actually drag and drop a picture into Google and it will give you the original source. Well, it will give you ALL the sources it can find that match.

Basically, click on a picture and save it to your computer. (Make sure you know where it went, LOL.)
Go to Google.
Click on Images (upper left).
Open your folder where you saved the pic.
Drag the pic to the search bar.
A rectangle will pop up that says
Drop Image Here.
Drop it there.
That's it! The search is incredibly fast.

Here, if you are more of a visual person, The Graphics Fairy did a tutorial...CLICK HERE.

Oh, and HEY, CLICK HERE FOR OUR GIVEAWAY! Thanks for stopping by!!

GIVEAWAY DRAWING EXTENDED!!

GIVEAWAY drawing extended!

CLICK HERE!!
WOO-HOOOO, more time to enter!

If you haven't entered,
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?? LOL

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Is It Friday Yet??

THIS IS ME:

Well, not really. That could be dangerous in a kindergarten classroom. Kindergartners are like the ocean. Don't turn your back on them.

However, that IS how I feel after:
Meeting Monday night until 7 PM.
(That made for an 11-hour day.)

Meeting Wednesday night until 6 PM.
(Obviously, 10 hours.)

Parent/Teacher Conferences tonight till 7 PM.
(Today will SEEM longer than 9 hours.)

AT LEAST we get off half-day tomorrow.

I am thinking of extending the GIVEAWAY (CLICK HERE),
since I've done almost nothing to promote it.

AWWWWW Wordless Wednesday

Sheriff and cowhands:

Sports and Fun Activities
These designs are available now, in your choice of colors, to go on t-shirts, onesies, tote bags, even head scarves for your little pirate's dress-up! I just love the skateboard and it would be even more boyish with a different fabric choice for the circle. And how darn cute is that treasure map?! Of course, both alphabets have all 26 letters and even the numbers 1-9 available.

And how about this pawprint, which is wonderful for high schools or even colleges that have panthers, lions or bulldogs, etc as mascots.

Pretty fun stuff! And speaking of fun...
