1... 2.... 3......

And it's not 3 strikes your out!!!!!! It's 3 times a winner.
I couldn't hardly believe it. In the past 2 weeks I have
won things from 3 different bloggers. First I won over
at Red Geranium Cottage ya the "diet nazi "over there.
Well, I was "paying attention" for once. I answered all
the questions correctly and I won a great giftie that goes
wonderfully on my reading chair.. just look it came
today....




Thank you Sharon!

The second prize was won over at Cucaroo she displayed this picture and asked what was wrong with it.. and if you won you would get a giftie.. I guessed she had no hair and did the dog eat it....I WON.. Her Sadie did in fact eat the hair.. I haven't received that one just yet but will post it when it does.. I was so happy.......



And #3... Kimberly at Fat Quarter Shop posted on her blog about some personal news
and if you could guess it you would win this....







I made a guess that she was having a baby.. there
were 3 lucky winners and we had our choice of the
new Lecien Sushi Rolls. Kimberly is not only having
a baby but she is having twins. I can really relate
since I have twin girls now 25 yrs old. She has a
great journey ahead of her. Again.. I am so happy!





So to end my winning streak when Sharon had another Monday Challenge guessing game.. I decided to forego the game to let another blogger enjoy some wonderful gifts. I want to thank each one for sharing some wonderful gifts. I will put each and every one of them to the perfect use.

Keep Smiling!

Loser Monday, Recipe, WW Find and a giveaway..

WOW.. long title there.. LOL So to get right to the point.. no weight loss but INCHES loss. Girls remember.. that scale doesn't tell everything going on with your body... inches count also. Clothes start getting looser.. that's great news!


I am a carrot cake lover... it's my fav cake. I saw the Hostess 100 cal carrot cakes... I had to try them... they are pretty good and you get a pack of 3 little cakes.. ONLY 1 WW pts.... YEAHHHH it's truly a nice treat mid-moring.. or in the afternoon.


My recipe is a good find. I haven't calculated the total pts but it is very good and all low fat. I was invited to Grandma's and I brought desert.


Peanut Butter Pie


1/2 P-nut butter ( sugar free)
1 C powdered sugar
1/4 C Milk - Lowfat
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 (8oz) cream cheese softened Lowfat

1 ( 8ox) tub whipped topping lowfat

Ice cream topping- Magic shell
1 Cookie Pie Crust - chocolate/lowfat (they do have them)





In large bowl combine 1st 5 ingredients. Blend with a hand mixer. Gently fold in whipped topping. Fill Pie shell. Freeze for 2 hours. Drizzle chocolate topping on top of pie. Re-freeze for additional 20 mins. Thaw slightly before serving. Pie is rich you only need a thin slice.
You could make this with all regular ingredients.. but it really is a rich pie.



Great for warm weather treats.



Now for the giveaway look what you can win: Hop over to V and C in honor of her Moda Bake Entry.

Happy Jacks In My Brown Bag......

I have been busy. Turtle ( my friend) is in Florida for a few weeks. I help package her website orders when she is gone. Friday night I packed 5 orders and was going to stop by Saturday morning to put the box out for postman on my way to my second job doing taxes. I opened the front door and had an eyes view to the master bedroom... it looked like a half dozen chickens had been plucked in there.. well, she had a pipe leaking in the ceiling and the part of it had fallen down.. good thing I had to go back or it would have been leaking a few days before I saw.. so I spent most of Saturday helping her via phone to get this all repaired.. we were successful!! SO.. my sewing that was planned got pushed to Sunday.. I have been working on the brown bag swap with our guild.. I got a brown bag full of Halloween fabrics and the gals note said she would like a table runner. Her name is Carolyn and she doesn't know I have her bag til it's revealed this month at our meeting. I thought for a bit and decided to do my take on Kim's Happy Jacks Tutorial. I am doing a runner aposed to her quilt topper. Here is what I have so far..

Not very good pics.. I had so many ideas for borders til I went to sew.. LOL I am not good at designing.. Kim had very good instructions for the pumpkins they went together very good. I also am working on her St. Patricks Tutorial.. when I get it more done I will post it too. I made a great desert today.. will post for Losers Monday! I need to check my posts.. I have been blogging for awhile but not consistently.. soooo, I think a giveaway will be in order very soon!

Keep Smiling!

Merry Go Round....Challenge.... New Week!

Good morning... I have been working on this most of the weekend. It's for our summer camp project. I also worked on a Shamrock piece that Kim over at Kim's Big Quilting Adventure posted a tutorial for... check it out.

No weight loss to speak of this week was less than a pound. I need to work a little harder this week to make up for it. I wish everyone a GREAT week!!!

Keep Smiling!

Up and running again......

Happy day!!!! My computer is back in business. I can continue my blogging journey again. Tonight was my 3rd Friday night stamp class. My regulars were here and we had a blast. It has been too long since we last met. I was not a good challenger as we had pizza for dinner. I will be back on track tomorrow. From I have read I am not the one that fell off the wagon.. seems the diet master herself did a little indulging with a fellow blogger. It's OK we all have weak moments. Psssst.. she can't yell at us this week since she started the chain.. LOL

Keep Smiling!

Loser Monday Share

I have had a pretty good week. I lost 2 pounds. I wanted to share some info I found out. Was really perfect timing. My friend Karen invited me over for dinner Sunday. She cooked something I hadn't tried before. Contessa Shrimp stir fry ( frozen everything in the bag) with flour tortillas. Sorta like fajitas when you come right down to it. It was very good! Today I get my Hungry Girl email .. low and behold she is talking about this very product. YIPEEE was I glad to see that my portion was 3- 4 Weight Watchers pts. AND they provided a coupon LOL I will be buying this in the future. You could have it with rice or even noodles.

I am working on some quilty samples that I will share when they are done. I hope all of you have a great week!

Temporarily...........Out of Order

I just wanted to stop by and say I am hanging in there. I have alot on my plate at the moment and finding time to blog is really hard. I will be popping in and out to say hello to my favorite bloggers. Until I get things running smoothly here I will not blog a whole lot. Just be ready for when I get back in the swing of things you won't be able to stop me. LOL
Be good.. stay on top of your challenges! Happy Sewing and most of all......

Keep Smiling!
