I was over at a friends place a few weeks ago … for an end of summer BBQ. They made a great ice cream by dumping the ingredients into a BALL … yes, I DID say a ball.
Ice Cream Ball from Amazon
Then they let the kids play around with it … and finally they scouped the ice cream out of the ball. The kids just went crazy for it. The adults got to have ice cream that was made ahead of time and stored in the freezer … which was not quite as much fun!
I’m already looking for great Xmas gifts. This one is great for a family with young kids.

When I saw the name of this contest I knew I had seen it before … I was right, Sally Hansen and Glamour Magazine have been running it for the past three years, making this fourth year a tradition..
You have 200 words or less to tell the world how you use the “best of you” to make a difference. Write about it whether you make the difference for yourself, your family, friends, charity or the community.
FOUR lucky winners will win:
- a trip to New York City
- get all dolled up for a glamour photo session
- appear in an upcoming issue of Glamour Mag
- get $1000 for their favorite charity
Eligibility: USA, 18+
DEADLINE: September 30, 2006
You know … I use Sally Hansen products all the time, and I read Glamour Magazine. I think it is a bad deal to be left out of this great contest. Maybe if we Canadians complained more often to sponsors who sell their stuff in our country and then exclude us from their contests … we might make a difference!
