I'm Bribing you with a YUMMY Summer Dessert

Well, I'm going to say this right up front . . . I'm not a person who resorts to bribery very often. But I am tonight. I really want more BLOG FOLLOWERS. So if I give you this really YuMmY recipe, will you tell your friends about my blog??? You see, there's a really good reason for that. NEXT WEEK something really wonderful is going to happen here. I'm going to have a celebration, but I'm just going to keep it at that for right now. I'll have some prizes too! Do you like prizes??? Perhaps a discount coupon?
Leave me a note here about your favorite dessert, and I'll enter your name into a drawing to win one of my Vintage Bottle Cap Necklaces.
