Ding-Dong....

So the doorbell rings...I go to the door and no one is there. I happen to look down and there it is...
I know what it is immediately!
It is the great giveaway from Susan at http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com
and I was the LUCKY winner!

Susan does everything with STYLE...look at the pretty packing papers...




And she generously sent along a starter supply of cocoa mixes and a sweet note!



See what I mean...the girl has STYLE! She even giftwrappped it....




And here it is...a wonderful HOT CHOCOLATE POT just like the one she has pictured on her banner!



See the little utensil included with it is a "frother" and the booklet has several yummy recipes to try...


And try it, I did! My DH was as happy as I was to receive this wonderful gift...
Thanks SUSAN...you're the BEST and we'll think of you each time we enjoy a cuppa!

Good morning Bo. For a change I am visiting you first! You always get the jump on me. I love it when I get up and you have visited me already. I love your comments.

Your give-a-way win is nothing less than awesome. How lucky to win such a great prize. I am getting ready to do a give-a-way for Christmas. It involves getting up in my attic. I won't tell yet but it will be revealed on Nov.21st at Karen's Christmas party. I posted about it on Sat. I think. So many posts and time rushes by so fast each week I can't remember who, what, or when. LOL. Have a happy day. Enjoy your Cocoa. Awww that just made me sad. sigh. My daughter is looking at a dog today to adopt. I pray it will be the right thing to do. Ok, I'm done. I am long winded today.

Love...Jeanne

Hi Bo! Congrats again! I'd still be reading the directions. I can honestly say, I've never used a frother, so I wouldn't know where to begin! That hot chocolate sure looks yummy! LOL! :O)

Congrats on your win! I need to go spy your grandson's photos..

Ooooh, a hot chocolate pot!! How very wonderful!! I just love the way you laid out the pot, cake plate, spoon tray and delicious mugs of hot chocolate on that lovely autumn table runner! Have a blessed week!

Sweetie said...

Hi Bo - I am so very happy for you. Sweets for the Sweet - so to speak (I like that expression). Everything looks so nicely arranged. Is the "Frother" what makes it so "frothy" on top?
Hugs,
Sweetie

Dianne said...

Gosh, I think I'm jealous of you. I'm a chocolate fiend but right now, I'm watching what I eat so maybe it's a good thing I don't have the hot chocolate maker. What a great gift!

Susan (Between Naps On The Porch.net) said...

Hi Bo...so glad you like your little chocolate pot and frother! :-) It couldn't have been won by a nicer person!
Love,
Susan

Picket said...

Congrats on that great gift girl! You could at least put a 'scratch & sniff' patch on here so we could smell that fantastic chocolate! lol

Good evening, Bo! Congratulations on the giveaway! How nice and I'm sure you're going to love it. Now that Susan, she's something. She could have sent you a set of dishes to go with it. She has so many, you know! ;0
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
