* A GIVE-AWAY - BOOKS & MORE *


Welcome to my newest Give-Away! It's been way too long since I had one, so I decided now is the time!



Chicken Soup for the Soul: Stay at Home Moms
(I did not submit to this one, but I won it somewhere.)



A Slob in the Kitchen
by Karen Duffy
is a really fun cookbook! It's full of easy recipes, anecdotes, and quotes. I even bought two of these: one for myself and one for a give-away! 
A favorite quote from my childhood listed on page 125:
"I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." -- Wimpy (from Popeye)



Not Your Mother's Book...On Dogs
(Some of my writer friends have stories included, and I have one, too.)



Two great booklets for your home:
Taste of Home Freezer Meals
&
101 Ways to Decorate with Candles



Two tiny plaques approx. 3" x 2"
with wire hangers. 
(Would be adorable as gift tag add-ons, or hanging in a small area.)


The "rules" are simple. Just leave a comment here and be one of my followers. I'll allow comments until midnight Sunday, July 21st. Thanks in advance to everyone who will join in the fun!

Oh, one more thing! I will also add a couple of surprise items to the winner. Ooooh, what could they be? 

AND, finally....this Give-Away is open to my followers in ANY country!

    1. Hi Delores! I'm happy to know you remember him, too! I've repeated that quote hundreds of times over the years, and most people just look at me like I'm nuts! (well...that happens a lot, anyway!!)

  3. What a fun, fun share! Tho' I've never been fortunate to be a stay-at-home Anything, I so enjoy the Chicken Soup series ... and come away feeling richer.
    Slob in the Kitchen? ... Suspect someone's been peeking in my window?)
    Of course, I'm BESOTTED by dogs, so this title brought a big smile to my face.

  9. Go ahead and toss my name in the hat! I have plenty of books but who could do without more? It is summer and that means read until we can't see right? We have work and write in winter when the snow flies. Have a good week ahead, Becky.

I'm still getting quite a few spam comments that are Anonymous, so I'm trying "User with Google Accounts." If anyone tries to comment that I know, and it won't let you, send me an email, okay? Thanks so much.
