I wish you ALL could have won!

Now that I've kept you all in suspense forever.... 

(And sorry Laura, two comments doesn't help your odds...) 

drum roll please.....

The winner is: 

Elise!

Which also means my niece, Kate wins too... because she's not a big fan of sugary treats, but she does like these.  She will just have to hide them from her brother Matt, who eats anything with sugar in it.  :)

Thank you to everyone for all your kind words.  I love you all for so many different reasons.  I wish I had enough time and energy to bake snickerdoodles for all of you!   I've decided that next week I'm going to post my snickerdoodle recipe for you all to have.  You'll be amazed how easy and simple it is.    Well, I better get my kitchen cleaned up and ready to do some baking.  Elise, I'll text you when the package is on it's way... hey, maybe it can double as a early birthday surprise for Kate, too?

Extension

Yesterday, my mom and I were having a texting convo and I asked her why she hadn't commented on my previous post.  She's been in Lake Tahoe for the last several days, but my parents both have iphones, so they are never far from their technology.  She mentioned that the word verification didn't let her post a comment from her phone, so I've decided to remove the word verification and extend the cookie giveaway for two more days.  The deadline will now be Wednesday night at midnight.

Poll

I'm just a few posts away from a big milestone on my blog.  I've put a poll in the sidebar to get some ideas for a giveaway.  I can't do anything extravagant, but I came up with some ideas and hope you all take a minute to vote!  And feel free to leave suggestions in the comments if you come up with a better idea and it's actually something I can do!   I need some creative juices channeled my way!

I had so much fun making this quiz!!! Thanks to Mandi, (we go way back....) for inspiring this post with a movie trivia of her own. When I was looking up the answers to her quiz, I discovered this great feature on imdb that lets you look up memorable quotes. It made this so easy... just search for a movie, click on memorable quotes and scan through for the one I want! Then, cut, paste and voila... free fun for all!

Okay, now on to the important news... the winner.... and the blockbuster gift card goes to....

Sharilyn!

Sharilyn came in first with 24 correct answers (most points possible to get was 40)

Mandi and my mom tied for 2nd place with 18 correct answers

Lexie came in third with 15

Congrats to all!!!!

Just because I like you all so much, I've copied a lot of other bloggers and friends out there and made a movie trivia quiz. Here's the rules... email me your answers to photofrenzy@cox.net. One point per answer for the name of the movie and one extra point for naming the character who said the quote. No cheating by looking online!!! Be honest... I've got a $5 blockbuster card for the person who gets the most points! Good Luck!

..... Adria S.! Congrats Adria! If you want to email me your address, I'll put the Blockbuster card in the mail asap! Too bad I didn't know this before the baby shower last weekend, huh??

Thanks for all your wonderful suggestions on movies - I can't wait to start checking them out at the library this summer!

Here are some of my favorites that I'm surprised no one mentioned:

Much Ado About Nothing (starring Kenneth Brannaugh and Emma Thompson) one of the cutest Shakespear adaptations I've ever seen!

Love Affair (starring Annette Benning and Warren Beatty) a modern day remake of An Affair To Remember... I ball like a baby every single time I watch this and I LOVE the music in it, too!

Notting Hill (starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant) yes, I know the humor is crass, but it's so funny coming from the Brits!
