Jackie over at Always a Northerner is having a fabulous giveaway featuring Le Creuset! Go check it out and maybe you will win. If you do, make me dinner? Okay thanks.
Also, Mandy, would you please send me your mailing address? I need to send you a few litle goodies that I mentioned last week :)
I like doing giveaways. I think I may do another soon. I'm also still thinking of hosting the baking swap I mentioned a while ago. You're all still interested, right? :)
A lot of people have those "30 before 30" lists. Since I am now 30, maybe I should make a 35 before 35 list? What would you include on your list?
a reminder to myself

- I grew up in New England and now I live in Washington, DC where I work for the federal government. I've lived abroad in Luxembourg, Poland and Canada, and would like to live abroad again. I love to travel and fill my passport with stamps. I read a lot and want to build libraries where they don't have any. I have a lot of cookbooks and love using them. I have an adorable godson named Jackson. I also sponsor two little girls through World Vision; six-year old Majlinda in Albania and two-year old Boikokobetso in South Africa. I love cupcakes, poppies, chocolate chip pancakes, peonies, strawberries and deviled eggs. I collect tea towels, teapots, Boleslawiec Polish pottery, vintage sewing supplies, Peter Rabbit books/pieces and Russian babushka nesting dolls. My two favorite childrens books of all time are Miss Rumphius and The Velveteen Rabbit and I would like to write my own books someday. I'm learning to quilt and have become a bit obsessed with buying fabric! I also love red shoes and wear them frequently. Steve, my boyfriend, keeps me sane most days, except for the ones when he's the one making me crazy! All in all, life is good and keeps me on my toes.
