Wow, one year… one whole year I have been writing this blog! As I sit here typing, I am swaying in my chair and singing the lyrics to the 1990′s jam, “It’s Our Anniversary” by Tony! Toni! Toné!
However, I am replacing the word anniversary with blogoversary, because I am cool like that! It’s a damn good thing no one can see or hear me because I way waaay off key and the song in this context makes absolutely no sense!
For my blogoversary, I made The Pioneer Woman’s Italian Cream Cake, and let me tell you – this cake is fabulous!
If you follow me on twitter, you may remember my tweet about having a spoonful of this frosting for breakfast yesterday morning. I did omit the walnuts because Brian is allergic. Instead, I topping the cake with toasted coconut, and it is FAB!
For my blogoversary I wanted to put together a giveaway that would be comprised of some of my favorite things.

Awesome giveaway! My goal for the next year is to cook more with fresh fruits and veggies.
My goal is to bake, and bake often. Life gets so busy, and the oven is my personal stress reliever. Specifically, I want to bake my way through all the family recipes & share my great-grandma's treats with everyone around me.
My goal is to bake all the recipies in Martha Stewart's new Cupcake book. I love that book!
Love the Italian Cream Cake. I haven't made on in ages, so it's due! My goal for the next year is to become a pro at making pie dough. First, I have lose my fear of it!
I want to learn to make fantastic pasta – so far I haven't made any, so I'm not getting very far.
Today my goal is to sew every day. But tomorrow it might change, you never know
Happy Blogoversary! My goal is two fold … to spend more time painting with my watercolors & to cook more/buy takeout less (because I am a pretty decent cook but have lapsed into laziness).
Wow…Happy Blogoversary! You have a wonderful blog and I enjoy coming and seeing what you have to share! Thanks for all you share and thanks for the chance to win such neat goodies!
My goal this year is to create more cards (at least 20 per month)for our deployed military men and women.
Great giveaway!! My goal is to try and bake something new every other time I bake! I just tried making watermelon cupcakes, and not to long ago I tried a root beer cake with root beer frosting. That one was disappointing because you didn't taste the root beer.
I'm gonna add you on twitter now, and tweet your giveaway.
