Party Hosting

Today I was reading a post on this site:

and I got really excited at the possibility of hosting a Betty Crocker Cookie Mix House Party!!!! I have submitted an application to HouseParty to see if I might be able to participate in this even on December 5th. If I happen to get the opportunity to play hostess for this I'll definitely be posting pictures and let you all know how it goes! I think it's so cool that I might be able to host a cookie party and (if my application is approved) we can get a whole slew of things to be able to give people. For this particular party if you are selected as a host you will receive:

• 2 Betty Crocker® Cookie Mix pouches
• A gift card for $15 to purchase baking items for the party
• Betty Crocker napkins, cups and plates
• 15 Betty Crocker spoons
• 1 Betty Crocker apron for the hostess
• 15 Recipe booklets
• 15 Grocery list pads
• 1 Christmas cookie magazine


How cool is that! Now I have my fingers crossed... hopefully I'll get selected!!!

Don't Text and Drive... and WIN!!!!

You can win by pledging not to text and drive! How cool is that!?! It's already illegal here in California to text while driving, but I still see people do it as well as talking on the phone. I also admit that I have on occasion tried to send a quick text while at a stop light, but I don't do it while I'm driving... hello... SO not safe! Anyways, now you're probably wondering "So... you said something about winning?" Yes, I did... check it out:
Live Laugh Love and Bloggings
You have all the way until November 2, 2009 to get entered to win $50 from Amazon.com! How cool is that!!!!
