One of my daughters had a bake sale at school today to raise money to adopt an endangered animal. I pulled out my trusty brownie recipe and popped a candy cane in each mini cupcake. Today I'm going to hit a milestone: 100,000 visitors. If you happen to land on this page, and the StatCounter at the bottom of this page shows 100,000, please make sure to leave a comment, so that I can contact you to send you a little something as a thank you for being my 100,000th visitor!
Thanks for dropping by!
UPDATE:
This morning, Dan from Ohio sent me an email to say he was the 100,000th visitor. Thanks for contacting me, Dan! I will be sending along a little thank you to you in the New Year!
Thanks to everyone for visiting my blog and making this a great year for me!
