Mary Thorsby challenged me, Kari & KijsaNot-A-Cog Blog, Faith 2 Lift U and First Impressions Maternity & Baby to create something, anything because of a challenge she received from Aynex Mercado.  Here are Aynex’s rules:

1. Make something, anything. It doesn’t have to be complicated or artsy. Make a list, take an interesting picture, make someone’s day, make dinner, make a doodle, make fun of yourself, make a poem , make your bed (okay that last one is lame). 

2. Write a blog about it. With pictures for extra brownie points.

3. Link to her blog and challenge six other bloggers to do the same.

Well, Aynex(who doesn’t know me) had already challenged Mary, Bizzy and Patience “to make something, anything!”

Mary responded first with by taking a photo of her treadmill after she made herself stay on for eight, long miles.  I “borrowed” Mary’s photo (and she knows me).

Bizzy then responded with a dozzie of a creative idea, her “Bizzy Fizzy.”  After reading her blog and  seeing her amazing photo of her beautifully wrapped “Fizzy” I was ready to accept defeat.  LIke Patience, I “borrowed” a copy of her photo, which is worse for me because Bizzy doesn’t even know me!

Then I saw that Patience had responded to Aynex’s challenge and made dog cookies for her Whippets in the shape of bunnies.  Staring at her blog photo, I was sure I should just concede and pass the challenge on to someone more worthy.  So I “borrowed” a copy of her photo too just to make things even with Bizzy, and Patience probably doesn’t remember meeting me but we did, once.

So I went back to Bizzy’s blog and read all the comments she received about her darling “Bizzy Fizzy.”  And then I saw it — a suggestion to make an adult beverage “Bizzy Fizzy” with a receipe! 

So, drumroll please, here’s Bizzy’s “Bizzy Fizzy ‘Tini” to enjoy while soaking in the tub filled with the soothing aroma of a “Bizzy Fizzy.”

I figured that since Bizzy followed a recipe, and Patience followed a recipe, I’m not cheating by using a recipe posted on Bizzy’s comments….. (Or at least I hope not!) You’ll have to visit Bizzy’s website to find the recipe in her comments. 

Wow, the pressure’s over.  Now I just have to pass the challenge on to six other unsuspecting bloggers!  Watch for an update.
