Yes...There WILL be a Test!!!

About 2 months ago Blue Eyed Tango had a contest on her blog and the winners would receive a lovely piece of her jewelry that she makes. I am surprised that I was one of the winners because her contest was on of those...pay attention, there WILL be a test later!!! I do read fast and when I was young remember that I had the highest retention level in my class of 25. However in this busy world of multi-tasking I must admit that I am usually reading every ones daily post at night while my loving husband and I watch the "Bourne Ultimatum" for the 20th time. We would rather watch a good movie over and over than a crappy one once. So because I am a bit distracted by the noise more than anything (I do not watch the chase scenes, been there, done that) but do look at the screen during my favorite parts. I know I did not have all the correct answers and when I did not know I answered with a guess...maybe one or 2 of those answers was right?

This "test" did make me stop and think about all of your blogs that I follow and that I was being rude not to give your blog my full attention when reading and leaving comments. I know that I sometimes just say, "great picture" or "nice post" because I had been distracted and could not remember the name of the flower or your horses name!

So in winning my gorgeous necklace I made a commitment to pay more attention to what you have to say...because you may give me a test later!!! Here is a picture of my new "bling"! And it came packaged in this cute little box with a recipe inside! The Blue Eyed Tango said I could pick my necklace but I asked her to pick for me and she was right on in her choice!!!

My package arrived inside this cute little file folder with a recipe for a pie that I may make for the Pony Cousins this summer!!! I did give Blue Eyed Tango a clue in her choice for me...I am a RED girl!!!

Luv to all,

Your Desert Rose!!!

  5. What a great giveaway to win! I have YET to win anything. What kind of pie IS it. I just want some sort of idea what I'll be missing out on. Now if it was your french raised doughnuts, I'd be feelin' the pain!
