And The Chocolate Goes To......
Not so fast! You know Grandma J doesn't use a random automated winner picker when it comes to important stuff like naming a
So, crab and I paid a visit to my granddaughter and JJ to keep the selection of the winner on the up and up. Of course if my memory was functioning properly, I would have remembered about all the bad blood between JJ and crab! Duh!
Things were going along quite well without any major incidents......Grandma J's granddaughter picks the winning comment....
.......and in the blink of an eye, JJ is flying through the air, lunging at crab! Grandma J shouts out, Mother of all things holy, don't hurt the crab. JJ retreats, and no one got hurt.
Now the reason y'all are here....the winner is.......
Congratulations to Cdub! The crab's new name is Crusty!
Cdub, I hope you enjoy the selection of chocolate goodies I ordered for you. I picked the following three items.......a cross-section of items from the Dove Chocolate Discoveries Catalog.
Enjoy your winnings Cdub! Crusty is a happier crab now that he has a real name! email me so I can get your address to ship your prize: jannieret@hotmail.com
Some of you mentioned that you didn't know that Dove Chocolates had a catalog. Dove Chocolate Discoveries was launched in 2007. Their products are sold exclusively through independent contractors called "Chocolatiers" through fun home parties.
My daughter Kim became a Dove Chocolatier several months ago, and has grown her business to the level of Manager, winning trips to Dove Headquarters twice. Since it's such a new concept in home parties with such a wide variety of products, I thought showcasing Dove as my contest prize would be a great way to introduce you to the products and company.
Check out the Dove Catalog, you will be surprised at the selection of yummy stuff they offer. And, for the next two days, Kim will accept orders via her website if you mention you came from Grandma J's blog....kind of like a virtual party.
If you haven't heard of Dove Chocolate Discoveries, you might be interested in becoming a Chocolatier in your area. You can check out Kim's Dove website.

Thanks Grandma J and Congrats Cdub :)
Some clarification, Dove Chocolate Discoveries was launched in 2007 in NJ and PA, but the rest of the country didnt open up until the Summer of 2008. It's a fun business, ground floor with a great parent company and brand....and many parts of the country still do not have a Chocolatier.
BTW...Im not *quite a manager yet...but it's my goal...and Ive only won 1 trip, but am working on a 2nd. :)
I thought it would be a fun way to celebrate Grandma J's birthday...to do a virtual chocolate party. Select some goodies to enjoy, while sitting at home and reading Grandma J's blog....and when you do, Grandma J will earn Dove $$ to get her own birthday treats. What a great way to say, "Happy Birthday Grandma J"
You can contact me at thechocolatelady@cox.net or check out my website at www.dovechocolatediscoveries.com/kim to place an order. I will "close the party" on Sunday night.
Cheers!

I like Crusty, and I like Noe Noe, so I suppose I would like Cdub, too. Congrats to him! A chocolate party does have a certain appeal, I must admit.
Crusty is an awesome name and Cdub (Noe Noe and Little T) are the best recipients EVER!!! You are so wonderful to do a contest like this!
Congrats to Cdub!
You are a generous soul Grandma J-great prize!
