Winner! Winner! Grilled Shrimp Dinner!

 

Wow! I actually had a decent amount of entries for the iTunes card giveaway! Weeeee! Makes it much more fun folks! See how excited I am?! LOOK at how often I just used exclamation points!

Drum roll, please?  The winner of the $25 iTunes giftcard is Kelly over on At Home with the Pooles!

Now, this is actually kind of funny… Kelly ended up being my 35th follower… that triggered the giveaway.  She’s also married to a Poole… I grew up in Louisiana with some Pooles… I even may have had a crush on one at some point.  He was cute! … they all actually were… Pretty family that was… Anyway. Kelly has a fun blog.  Go check her out!

So Kelly, shoot me an email with your info, K?

 

This is what I’m making tonight for dinner… Looks good, no?

Say Cheese!

You know how much I love my iPhone. I should tell you though… I HATE the camera on the thing.  Until now. I’ve found the coolest new app that will knock your socks off. 

Check out this pic…

This is the best I could get… and in lower light? Forget it.

This is AFTER my new app…

 

1000 times better, and I even have a decent zoom!!! Hurrah!

The new app is called CP Pro. You can auto share to Twitter, Facebook, Picassa… You can zoom, sharpen, brighten, contrast, crop, etc. all in the phone. You can tag your pics so that they save in folders. It runs $1.99 and is probably one of my favorite apps to date!

                

I’m super duper excited about this one… mainly because when I snap a quick pic and put it up on Twitter, the pics always look like crap.  Maybe now, not so much.

Now I know that there are those of you who refuse to pay for apps… even when you know you want one. So my next giveaway will be a $25 iTunes card so that you can get what you want without feeling guilty about it!!! To trigger the giveaway, I’ve gotta hit 35 followers. The Friday after that happens, I’ll giveaway the card! Yes, it DOES seem like extortion, but it’s my blog. If you don’t like it, deal with it or leave. Comment, follow me on Twitter and retweet this post… whatever you do, let me know what you’ve done and you’ll be entered. Folks, the last giveaway had two entries… Your odds are VERY good… Just do it!

We have a winner

Finally, huh?... I'm so sorry for the delay. I've been consumed by a new HUGE undertaking, and had the help of Neighbor J, that I just couldn't pass up. I'll blog more about the project later, but it's kind of a secret... only a few "choice" people know about it, and for now it has to stay that way. Anywho! The winner of the Prissy Pincushion Giveaway is .... Kait from Birmingham, AL! Kait has a wonderful family blog . Funny thing is, after poking around in her "business" I finally figured out why she looks somewhat familiar... hmmm... weird, I know, but I think we saw them at Disney this past February?!?!? Could that even be possible? I don't know, but she seems to be a "D" nut, like us, so maybe. If you have a chance go check out her blog and see how beautiful she is! Oh, and turn up your volume, because she has some pretty amazing - and uplifting- music playing too.

Oh, and I've been trying to remember to enlarge the font when I post... does this help? Also, I've been fiddling with the font colors... who knew blogging would be so easy, but so hard at the same time! Hopefully it will be much easier once my new laptop comes in... :-) Surely EVERYTHING will be easier with a pink laptop, right? OOOhhh yeah, let's just SEE if hubby will even TRY to touch it... A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

Prissy Pincushion Giveaway

Hey Y'all! Since I am getting lots of comments, I thought I'd make it a bit more fun for you! I'm going to giveaway one of my Prissy Pincushions!

Chocolate brown velvet, and a mink puffball.... tooo Prissy!

Show me some comment love, and I'll get my dear computer minded hubby to do a random number generator thing. Let's say... Next Wednesday? It'll be my 1 week anniversary! :-) from being featured that is! LOL!!! Leave a comment on this post... I'll try to catch the ones who are bouncing around in other postings, but there's no guarantee I can catch them all!
