Wow, it’s my 100th Thankful Thursday post, guys! It really doesn’t seem that long ago that I wrote my first one. Back then it was “Thankful Tuesdays.” Since that first post, I’ve been thankful for cheese & my savior (not in that order, of course), friends with benefits, a drugged up Dad, souls being saved, all the bad stuff, the demise of Den’s evil glasses, my sisters, and even nose hairs. Among many, many other things. And yet there is always something to be thankful for every day. It’s not always something new, but good things that continue and endure the test of time are something to be even more thankful for and recognized on a daily basis.
You guys already know I’m thankful for you, right? I did devote an entire Thankful Thursday to you, after all. Well, to celebrate my 100th Thankful Thursday, I’m going to offer a giveaway that (I hope) will make you thankful. I asked for suggestions last week on what I should do for my post today and Rhonda suggested offering my own baked goods. Suzie seconded the motion so I decided that’s what I’d do, with an optional extra.
Giveaway details
I’m offering FIVE readers the chance to win a small flat-rate Priority mail box stuffed with my blue ribbon Almond Fudge Cookies, and blue ribbon Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies (you choose with/without toasted pecans). And if you so desire, I’ll throw in a 2 oz. bottle of my top secret (OK not really) most favorite frosting flavoring, crème bouquet (read more about it here to see if it’s something you would like).
I’m also offering FIVE additional readers a 2 oz. bottle of crème bouquet flavor emulsion so you can make your cakes taste like heaven on Earth.
Giveaway is open worldwide, but if you are a foreign reader, I can only offer the crème bouquet.
GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. SEE THE BEGINNING OF THIS POST FOR THE LIST OF WINNERS.
To enter, leave a comment telling me how you found my blog. I always wonder! If you only want to enter one drawing, please indicate which one in the comments, otherwise you will be entered for both.
You can earn an extra entry by following me on Twitter and leaving me a separate comment letting me know you do or already do.
Giveaway will close Wednesday, January 30th, at midnight and winners will be contacted by email.
Thank you so much for reading, and good luck!

Yours was the one I clicked on and I read a few blog entries and I started following your blog. There you have it. =) I know I have been silent lately, but I’m always still here eagerly reading what you have to say! Blessings, dear! If I win, you can send it to my friend in Wisconsin who is visiting me next month! =)

Congratulations on your 100th Thankful Thursday! I love reading your blog posts. They are so encouraging. I found you by searching for a recipe a long time ago and your page came up. I think it may have been cake pops, but not certain. When I clicked on your link I was stuck for quite sometime going through all your recipes. Since then I have tried many. It was then that I realized my love of baking and have really started baking quite a bit since then. It was a fun fact to discover we both live in Wichita. :)

You are such an inspiration to me. you are a diabetic eating good, good food in moderation and losing weight. I’m type 1 diabetic and I have 30-50 pounds to lose. My weakness is dessert, which is ironic since that should be the thing I eat least often. I love to bake, and that makes staying away from it hard. I will read often for further inspiration!
Thanks for being such a great friend all these years V!! :D
