You can enter and win this darling hat, not the lil sweetie pie ( I KNOW!!!If she were the prize, why I would be ALL over THAT contest; she is just a lil cutie pie!LOL) Her mom says: " It's made from white, 100% merino wool (it's soft don't worry) and is available in sizes 2,4 & 6. Super cute and warm around the neck, ears and outer cheeks ;o) "

Here's the link to enter:http://homelyanimal.blogspot.com/2008/08/kitty-hat-give-away.html

Now, I don't have lil ones, but I figure it would make a great gift for someone I know who does. Many of you have lil ones or you have grandkids or you may just want to gift it to a lil one you know; but go on over and visit and enter the contest. Her blog is great fun; she has a recipe for grilled flatbread that I am itching to try. Well, good luck to y'all! The contest ends Sept. 15,2008
