Look! I Won Something!

I started reading this blog when Monique recommended it months ago. I think she had won something too. Anyway, I've since gotten really into it and check it often. I'm kind of fascinated with her life and her talent. I've even gone so far as to watch Lisa on a recent QVC appearance. I was curious about how she looked and talked in "real life". No, I'm not a stalker. I just find her interesting and a great representative on being Mormon in the real world. She seems to be setting a great example. Anyway, thanks to the very valuable Bloglines, I got a blog update a few nights ago. It was a contest! I quickly submitted my answer and then waited and waited and waited. She finally updated yesterday. YEA!!! I won!!!! I'm not even much of a scrapbooker (aspiring at best), but I'm super excited about the stamps. Don't they look fun? I never win anything, so it's thrilling for me :)

Since I'm mentioning favorite blogs, I have to put a plug in for a blog I discovered recently that is awesome - great writing, a great feel to the site, recipes, fabulous pictures, and romance! Pioneer Woman rocks! If you check out her site, you're going to have to go back a little in the archives to understand the story she's been telling about how she met her husband. You'll also find some references to a blog she's writing for JCPenney. If you've ever decorated a new house or remodeled an old one, you'll relate. You should also check out her cooking blog - Pioneer Woman Cooks. I've tried some recipes. She knows what she is doing, plus her pictures are perfect. All in all, her sites are a wonderful, satisfying treat.
