A Free Cookbook

Well, I know that I LOVE to get something for free! And I love cookbooks, too. I don't experiment nearly enough with them, but I love having them on hand, just in case. So here is an offer I found on All Things Frugal for a free cookbook (actually the offer is for TWO free cookbooks!!) Click here if you would like to receive a free cookbook too!

Family Pictures

Just a sampling of our pictures we had done on Saturday. Everyone cooperated beautifully!

AND THE WINNER IS....

Ok, so my first contest didn't draw in tons of visitors/entries, but that's ok...it makes it easier for me to choose the winners--haha!!

So without further ado, the winners of the Precious Girls Club Books are:

Kelly of The Barefoot Mama
Tammy of The Jones Family
Stephanie of Adventures in Babywearing
Kelli of There Is No Place Like Home

Thank you ladies for entering the contest! All these "Kelly's"--means we must think alike!! I hope your daughters and nieces enjoy the book. I am sending you an email to get your address and will have the books out in the mail to you this week! I appreciate you checking in on my family through my blog. Check back often for more great contests coming soon!

A Contest!! Something new and fun....

Ooh this is exciting and a totally new thing for me to try on my blog!

I have a CONTEST--and I know you all love to win something!! However, this contest will only interest those who have little girls in their lives. I received a book in the mail for Mari Cate, with some extras to share with my readers! The book is from The Precious Girls Club Series.

The Precious Girls Club is based on an all new book series for girls that revolves around the life of Katie Bennett and a diverse group of her friends. Their world is brought to life not only through books, but also through a state-of-the-art virtual world where your daughter can learn and play in a safe, wholesome environment based on the values embraced by Precious Moments. You can see a little more about the Precious Girls Club here.

The books are geared toward girls ages 4-10, but I know that I have some readers who have daughters that are a little younger than that, but are wanting to teach their daughters wholesome values, so I am not opposed to any of you entering the contest either!

I have four (4) books to offer, so if you are interested in receiving one of the books, please leave me a comment and let me know why you would like to receive one and who it would be for. The contest will end Monday, Sept. 8, 2008. I will announce the winners on my blog no later than Wednesday, Sept. 10th. Thanks so much for participating! And please feel free to link to my blog on your blog to let others know about the contest!!

Pictures from our church wide camping trip

Making tie-dye t-shirts

Taking a dip in the pool (that water looks really green in these pics!!)

Our camping breakfast--YUM YUM!!

I thought you weren't supposed to work on Labor Day Weekend???

So this weekend, we had a church wide campout at the KOA-Lookout Mountain. Granted, I did volunteer to plan this trip with my dear friend Brandi, but I don't think we quite knew what we were getting ourselves into.

Sunday morning we cooked:
6 dozens eggs
20 lbs. of potatoes
10 lbs. bacon
1 lbs. turkey bacon
168 biscuits
And however much gravy it takes to cover those 168 biscuits!!

We had 6 gallons of milk, 48 bottles of apple juice, 48 bottles of orange juice, and coffee continuously flowing from the pot.

We actually cooked all this in about 1 hours time too!

I promise to share pictures tomorrow...I am just very tired right now from getting back from camping and working all day on yard sale stuff---by the way, Mom and I are having a yard sale this weekend! Whew!!!!!!!!!! Does it ever end??????????????
