Thanks so much for stopping by and welcome to my weekly giveaway!
Hope everyone had a great weekend and that there’s still a little candy left. 😉
If you’re like me, it’s going to take a few days to get used to this time change. Even though we gained an hour, somehow I always feel a little off schedule for the first week or so.
Luckily the giveaway is right on time! 😀 This week I have a pretty necklace that would be especially nice to wear with earthy browns, bronzes, rusts, golds, warm oranges – the Thanksgiving colors! Of course, it’s really neutral enough to blend with a variety of colors in your wardrobe.
I used some lovely Czech glass beads in a shade of light brown that looks just like coffee with cream. The beads have a glossy finish and little splashes of dark brown and tiny hints of blue. For accents I added Czech glass faceted beads in a muted gold and a rich bronze.
The necklace measures 18-1/2″ long and it fastens with a heart-shaped, gold-plated, toggle clasp.

I use a pen to writer almost everything! Lists, letters, cards, etc.!
Thanks, Cindi
Since I am a vegetarian, I would like a wonderful salad with garlic cheese bread and creme brulee. Thanks, Cindi
Whether I write or type depends on whether I need to take the note with me. If it is directions or a shopping list, I prefer a pen, but if it is a phone number, an appointment, or a single address, I will type it.
If I had a personal chef, I would love Chicken French and homemade spinach fettucini.
for notes and lists I use a pencil and the back of an envelope (recycled use)
If I had someone to make a great meal I would want eggplant parmigiana.
Yaaay! I made it, I made it! I’ve been so busy, I thought I’d miss the weekly questions!:D
But when I have to write a quick note to myself– and you can guess what that entails for me– I use a cheapjack little notepade I bought 3 for a dollar. Or a scrap of paper. I prefer my notebook.
If it’s a note to any other living being on the planet, it has to be typed. For lo, I am one of the legion of artistic illegibles. Even my signature isn’t legible from one occasion to the next. Look on my handwriting, ye mighty, and despair!
I know what I want for dinner from my hypothetical magical chef! Cochinita Pibil, a dish from my favorite Mexican place that I don’t even think I’m spelling right. Stewed seasoned pork, served with plantain. Oh god, SO SO good, and I have no idea how to make it– certainly not to the delicate balance of flavor that my long-gone restraunt chef could. That’s what I want.
I would use a pen with paper, not a pen on the computer
I prefer using a pen when I write a short note.
If I had a personal chef I would ask (her) to cook a salmon dish.
definitely pen/pencil! if i write a shopping list on the computer, i would have to print that – double work (and waste of paper)! i usually just grab a peace of paper that has a clear side (thats recycling, i guess) and off i go!:)
and for dinner – i would have a steak (for me its almost impossible to prepare a good steak at home – believe me, i tried:)) with some salad (with ruccola and pine nut) and watermelon for dessert:)
i’m a pen and paper girl. I like to physically cross things off my to-do list.
if I had a chef here right now, I’d have him whip up some indian food. I am dying for chicken tikka masala
If I’m just jotting something down quickly, I use whatever’s at hand, which is usually a pen and a post-it. However I guess the keyboard would be much more efficient- I type much faster than I write!
Oh wow, I could only dream of having a personal chef. I’d probably ask them to make me something rich and delicious- pasta in cream sauce, French bread, red wine, and chocolate mousse for dessert. Judging by this, I’m glad I don’t have a chef because I’d weigh 500 pounds! 😉
I use pen for writing. its easy and fast. i dont need to start my PC.
I prefer the keyboard but I usually use a pen
I’d have him make a steak and cheesecake for dessert
I’m a pen and paper kind of gal!
I’d love a personal chef to cook me up some filet mignon, a side of asparagus, and raspberry and goat cheese spinach salad. Yum!
It depends on what kind of note I’m making as to what I would use. Generally, if I’m at work and want to remember something at home or vice-versa, I’ll type out a quick email. Otherwise, I’ll write out a note by hand.
When I jot a note down I use a pencil and usually the back of an envelope. Shopping lists I always write out by hand too.
Even if I had a personal chef, I’m still kind of in the mood for a nice, juicy burger right now- the kind with pepper jack cheese, barbecue sauce, and fried onions on it.
Yeah, a personal chef is a bad idea…I’d gain a lot of weight.
If I had a personal chef I’d ask him to make lobster with pasta, squash, fresh Italian bread and a chocolate torte cake.
I prefer using the keyboard – but it is usually on pen and notepad…
If I had a personal chef I’D ASK HIM TO make me all things pumpkin, because pumpkin makes me feel at home. Although I would want to cook with the chef, especially if he’s sexy.
