My Blog Spark Fiber One GIVEAWAY! -CLOSED-



I had the opportunity to review and so a giveaway from My Blog Spark on Fiber One 50 count yogurt. I bought the strawberry and it was delicious! They also provided me with everything you see in the pic up there!! The glass has a lid and the measures on the side,perfect for my chocolate shakes that help me from getting hungry. The food dish is divided into 3 compartments...I think i have used this almost daily. I love it! I got an insulated lunch sack with 2 sporks... well they are kinda like sporks, there's a spoon at one end and a fork at the other. The yogurt is Non-fat, 50 calories & 5 grams of fiber! Sounds pretty healthy to me!


Best-selling author and food expert Lisa Lillien, AKA Hungry Girl, has given her “seal of approval” to the new Fiber Oneyogurt, the only leading nonfat yogurt with 50 calories and 5 grams of fiber (20 percent of the Recommended Daily Value). It is also a good source of calcium and vitamins A and D, making this an all-around great choice for dieters and those watching their weight. Each cup includes the creamy, delicious taste you expect from Yoplait, and you don’t have to feel guilty about enjoying it. Fiber One is available in a variety of flavors including, Strawberry, Peach, Vanilla and Key Lime Pie


MBS also gave me the opportunity to have 3 of you win this same package! They will ship out the exact package I received to the 3 lucky winners of this giveaway!

CHRISTMAS GIFT GIVING (comment to Shell)

My friend Shell posted on Santa Claus and his generosity. I wanted to comment but I'm still on the bb and can't so I'll blog.
Today afterr church we were sitting at my parents and Nikki said she didn't wanna be like some parents stressing out trying to get their kids all they wanted for Christmas.

She was taking about me.

She said she wanted to get like 3 presents and try to stick with it so she could get something nice and enjoy the holiday while not stressing, and teaching her child about the true meaning of Christmas at the same time.

I so wish I had done that.While growing up
I got mine most everything on their list and let me tell you those girls knew how to make a list.
I hate that they knew how I stressed and still do now because I feel like I cheat them now. I love that instead of being like me they learned from my mistake.
I'm all for the 3 gifts.
I think it teaches kids something.
I think kids don't appreciate things now days because we give them everything.
I think....know my kids make me proud for wanting to change the way I taught them to be at Christmas time.

In my defense I was a single mom for a long time with no help from their dad. I couldn't splurge on them except at Christmas.... But I wish I had done it different.

My net comes back Tuesday!!

Posting from the BB

I'm posting from my bb so I hope this turns out right.We were so excited to get broadband thru verizon we used all our time up a week early. We can still get online but they charge like when you go over your minutes on your cell. I think I'll survive... I think. At least we are done with Hughes net. Blah - hated them!
Christmas is 7 days away!!!!

I'm so not ready.
I ordered some gifts from a copany I paid off this past Summer and they were nice to let me know that they closed ny account.
:-I

Would have been nice if they had let me know this before I spent hours shopping and ordering and waiting until I only had 7 days to find gifts to replace those! Not even 7 days really.

I have figured one thing out with the bb or at least I think I have. You can comment on blogger blogs IF they don't have word verification. So far I haven't been able to comment on only those with that little annoyance.
I could be wrong and just got lucky on a few.
Ok back to the grind stone, I'm making beanies and scarfs.
Don't leave me!!!!
I shall be back Tuesday!

Ten Thoughts Tuesday

1. I haven't been getting online very much except for on my bb and can't figure out how to comment on it. Especially with blogger...to be honest I don't think I have tried with Multiply because I have most of you on FB.

2. I need to post to baby's blog. I have things written on a notebook and need to transfer it to the blog.

3. This time next week Kelly will be on her way home...alone....600 miles....alone.

4. This has been a busy busy 2 weeks and I don't think it will let up until Tuesday next week when I officially go on a vacation!

5. I haven't heard from Nikki today,that is unusual.

6. Please pray we have good weather for kelly to get home....did I mention she was driving alone?
600 miles?
:O

7. I was telling Oka that I was bad this year...I did not do one Christmas card! That is so not like me. I have all kinds of excuses but so do the folks who did get there's out. If you sent me one I owe you 10! I do wish all of you a very Merry CHRISTmas and a Hapy New Year!!

8. 9 days til Christmas and I'm not ready... I always have good intentions of buying and making early, it just doesn't happen.

9. I might have a new house. Maybe 2...I might have bitten off more than I want. Will know more after the Holidays.

10.I think I am off Friday so I will probably not be back til then...I haven't abandoned ship though!

Ten Thoughts Tuesday

1. I have 100's of thoughts and can't think of 10 right now...Hmmm,ok! I am TIRED of hearing about Tiger Woods! Can we have some happy news once in a while and it not center on a "celebrity."

2. Nikki goes to dr. Thursday and unless something changes I get to go!!!!!!!!!!!! They are doing an ultrasound!
I. GET. TO. GO.

3. Kelly is coming home for Christmas! We are praying that the weather stays nice so she can because if it gets bad she won't be able to. She will be driving by herself for the first time....600 miles! Not real excited about that part.

4. I am almost finished with the nieces and nephews gifts... feel like I have been working on them forever!

5. Been working on some small things for brothers and sisters tonight. I would show yall but some of them have access to my blogs.

6. I haven't forgotten about my blog spark giveaway...just been busy. I'll try to post it sometime this week. It's a really good one!

7. The man from Cracker Barrel corporate offices called again today. He wanted to make sure I was doing ok and said if I go to the dr. to make sure and let him know, he said he'll call back in a few weeks and ask for my address again. Am I being greedy for asking for something? I mean I haven't ask them....but heck most folks would have already gotten a lawyer.

8. I keep picking dried glue off my fingers...what? It's a thought!

9. I almost never drink cokes (and by cokes I mean any kind of soda...this is the South) but I drank a lot of them in Branson...my chin is broke out now! Back to my water.

10. I was just accepted to be in Uprinting's blog sponsorship program! That means more reviews and freebies for you and me!

My Branson Trip

Just a quick post about my Branson trip.
We left the church at 6am Friday morning so that means I got up at 4am.That comes so so early...ugh!
Our trip was so much fun except for one thing and I'll get to that. We shopped until we dropped...literally! We only stay Friday then come home Saturday so we had to get a lot done in a little time.
I almost couldn't keep my eyes open in church! (shame on me) I then got to mamas and ate dinner and fell asleep on the couch. I think it all just caught up with me,I could go to bed right now but I have etsy orders to get out!!! That is exciting...usually i have an order here and there but i have had lots of orders the last week and a half!! Looks like my bobbies are a favorite. I need to make more baby button bobbies....(a reminder to me)

The pic is of me, my Aunt Barbara and Summer. It was taken Saturday morning after little sleep. We were ready to get shopping and I was actually ready to get home!

The only bad part of the trip was when we went to Cracker barrel to eat breakfast Friday morning. The waitress was getting our drinks and straws and such and accidentally poured a pot of HOT coffee on my right shoulder that ran down between my breastessess and it BURNED!
OH it was bad...I was speechless and she was crying. I just kept thinking when is it going to stop! about 45 minutes later I ask my aunt if I said a bad word...I didn't!

I got a free meal, a free $25 shirt and a call from corporate. I have red marks but thankfully no blisters. I also have pics but I prefer my tatas not be advertised on here.
Preacher said I went to cracker barrel to get baptized

.Anyway I'm fine and I would be happy if corporate would send me a card to eat free for a lifetime!!

Cracker barrel do you hear that....free for my life! Yes...that would be nice...although I do not live near a cracke barrel to eat there often.

OK I'm out...gotta feel these orders!!

Free shipping at my etsy on bobbies til January!!
See something you want in the wrong color...let me know I can probably make it in your color!

LATER GATERS!
