Chili Recipe - Give Away Post

After I posted my recipe last week for Chili I had several comments about how different my recipe was from their recipe. I had to laugh because I thought everyone made chili like I did.

So I decided to challenge my readers to post their recipe on their blogs so we can see how you make it! If you post your recipe and post a link to my blog on your blog I will enter your name into a drawing for some CQ goodies. I've done a little shopping this week and I will share my new goodies with one lucky Chili maker. If you like buttons you will really like this giveaway!

Remember all you have to do is post your Chili recipe on your blog, post a link to my blog and leave me a comment so I can find it. I look forward to seeing how you make your chili.

Post your recipe by Friday, November 7th, 2008 to be placed in the drawing.

Think Pink - Pay It Forward

I'm thinking pink today and decided to offer up a Pink Package to Pay It Forward for the great gift I received a couple of weeks ago from Cindy. If you want to play along and are willing to send out a Pay It Forward gift after you receive this one then please leave a comment and let me know.

It's been a busy month for me and summer is winding down. I'm leaving today for my last conference of the summer! The EGA Golden Gala is being held in Louisville, Kentucky this week and I'll be taking a week off from work and attending classes and all the surrounding events involved with this grand event. I'm busy packing my bags for classes right now and I'll be online when I can this week.

I'll hold the drawing next weekend when I'm home from the EGA conference. Be sure to leave a comment sometime before Saturday September 9th, 2008 and check back to see if you won!

Hope everyone is enjoying the last weeks of summer ... for those in this part of the world and for those on the other side of the globe I guess you guys are getting ready for spring! One of my favorite times of the year. Better get back to packing ...
