First, let me say I was amazed at the number of participants. 294 of you entered to win the Kathy Peel books. Unfortunately there could only be one winner. I used a random number generator, and the winner was comment #48! That person is Kyra from The Adventures of Me! I’ve sent Kyra an email, and her books will be mailed next week!

Thank you everyone for entering, and thank you Shannon for hosting another great bunch of giveaways!

We only had two entrants in the Halloween Tip or Treat contest, but it was still a lot of fun.  This afternoon I had my daughter draw a number out of a bowl.  She drew #1, which means Kandy from Ramblings of a Redneck Woman is our winner!  I’ll get your book out to you early next week!

Thanks to Kandy and Boomeyers for playing along!

It’s time for a contest! Darlene Schacht is having a contest at her blog today to promote Allison Bottke’s new book One Little Secret. The prize is an autographed copy of the book and an iPod Shuffle. That’s right. You get the book and the Shuffle. So be sure to head on over to Darlene’s blog to read all about the book and enter the contest! All you have to do is tell everyone your one little secret. Thanks to Art Bookbindery for sponsoring such a great contest!

So what is my secret? This is kind of embarrassing to admit, but I sing obnoxious songs all day long. And I change the words to make them even more obnoxious. Like, Sam’s nickname is Bug, so instead of singing “Bob the Builder”, I sing “Bug the Builder”. Or remember when Toby Keith was in those Ford truck commercials, singing “I’m a Ford truck man”? I would sing, “He’s a bug-boy man. Eats bugs in a can.” Isn’t that awful? I can’t help myself, though. If I hear an obnoxious song, I have to put words to it, even if they don’t make sense. And then I drive my family nuts with my singing.

So now that I’ve shared my one little secret, you have to share yours. Go to Darlene’s blog now! It certainly can’t get any worse than what I’ve shared!

First of all, let me give a big thank you to all who participated!  I couldn’t believe that 252 people left a comment to be entered!  That’s a huge amount!  And since it was such a large number, I decided to use a random number generator to pick the winner, rather than having my children draw a winner from a hat.  I figured it would be faster, and you all would want to know who won.

But before I get to the winner, let me also say thank you, thank you thank you to Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer for hosting such a fun event!  I know it must have been a ton of work for her, since there were so many participants.  So be sure to drop her a comment or an email to say thank you.

And now, the moment you’ve been waiting for.  The winner of Rachael Ray’s Cooking ‘Round the Clock is…..drumroll please…….

Rachel from Mom of 3…Or More?

Congratulations Rachel!

What better way to enjoy the dog days of summer than with some good food?  And who’s better at quick meals than Rachael Ray?  I’ll admit, I have a serious Rachael Ray cookbook addiction.  I just can’t get enough of her yummy recipes.

With that in mind, I am giving away one of my very gently used Rachael Ray cookbooks, Cooking ‘Round the Clock.  In this cookbook, Rachael provides recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, midnight snacks, and everything in-between.  Some of my personal favorites are the New England Tasty Tuna Melt, the Bacon, Lettuce, Avocado, and Tomato Tartine, and the Marinated, Grilled Flank Steak.  Mmmmm.  I’m getting hungry.

I promise I didn’t spill any food on the pages while I was cooking!  This cookbook is in really great condition.  You can hardly tell it’s been used.  I’d hang on to it, but I already have two more Rachael Ray cookbooks, and I’m out of room to store them.

To enter, just leave a comment before 12:01 am PST Friday, July 27th.  Please only comment once, as multiple comments will be deleted.  I will have one of my children draw a name out of the hat, and the winner will be announced Friday.  This contest is open to all participants, as long as you can receive mail.

Be sure to tell all your friends about the Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway!  To find more contests, be sure to visit Rocks in My Dryer!
