Northwest Arkansas *Share* Cookbook

Hello All !

This newly published cookbook is now available through my blog. It's put together by the Northwest Arkansas Share Parents Support Group. The mission of SHARE is to serve those whose lives are touched by the tragic death of a baby through pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or in the first 2 years of life.

In 2006, my DD and SIL experienced such a loss. Their baby boy, Christopher, was born prematurely and could not survive such an early delivery. The help and support of the Share group was a true blessing for them. They continue to be active in the groups' endeavors to help others with their grief.

This cookbook has 77 pages of delicious recipes from members, their families and friends. Lots of helpful baking and cooking tips throughout. I am very happy to say that it was an honor to be able to design the cover! :)

If you would like a copy, they are $10 each with free shipping! Nice as a Christmas gift for that cookbook collector! Just email me. PayPal is preferred, but a check or money order is fine. Make checks payable to: NWA SHARE Parents Support Group. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of these cookbooks goes to the SHARE programs and construction and maintenance of the Angel Of Hope in NW Arkansas.

For more information on Northwest Arkansas Share Parents Support group, visit their website at http://www.nwashare.org

Thanks very much!!

A Rockin' Blog Award!

Wahoo! I've just received a blog award from Janae of Cozy Coops Corner! Thanks a bunch, Janae!! I am very honored to be in such good company with all the other recipients. Be sure and have a peek at Janae's blog, too! Check out her photos! Her fall decorations are out!! They look great!!

Where does everyone find these neat logos for the awards? This one has a guitar on it!! Perfect for me 'cause I love to go to rock concerts and I gotta have my music or I couldn't function!

Ok, I'm supposed to list 6 random things about myself.....ummmmm..... here goes.....

1.) I love old movies from the 30's and 40's, especially those with Cary Grant, Errol Flynn, Greer Garson, etc; romantic comedy type stuff.

2.) I once watched an episode of the kids' show, "The Big Comfy Couch" withOUT my grandbaby! I think Major Bedhead is pretty cute! LoL!

3.) I'm trying to read more often. (It's very relaxing)

This one got me....

4.) I bake a mean batch of chocolate chip cookies.

This link has the good stuff! Click on the cookies!!

5.) I want to visit Alaska someday. (before I'm too old to enjoy it, and while the glaciers are still around!)

6.) I'm taking way too long coming up with a #6 ! I realize that this is a not so "random" thing about me......I'm slo-o-o-ow!

The 6 blogs to nominate........that may take some more thought, as lots of my faves have recently received awards, but DO look at my blog list and check out the cool creating going on!!

Thanks again, Janae!!
