Congratulations to Shirley Schlanger!

Are you one of those people that never win anything? Shirley Schlanger was, too. But now she's the winner of the 2005 "Knead Dough?" Sweepstakes!

Shirley received a check for $1,500 to spend any way she wants. And for her, that means giving some away. Very Best Bakers sure are a generous bunch of people! She's giving some to her kids and some to her sister. And the rest? She's going to have a good time!

She may end up in Europe…again. Although this is the first thing Shirley has won, her husband won a trip to Holland and brought her along. She's planning to go back to Holland and she'd like to go to Prague soon. She might need to win another contest!

Shirley loves VeryBestBaking.com – especially the cookie recipes and the swapped recipes. But the pumpkin bread recipe is one of her all-time favorites. She's also been dipping fruit in chocolate ever since Very Best Baking taught her how. Wow! If you are what you eat, no wonder Shirley is so sweet!
