My Sweet Valentine Package Giveaway

GIVEAWAY CLOSED – CONGRATULATIONS, WENDY!!

I am in total shock that it is already February! Does anyone even remember January this year?? It just seemed to fly by. I have all sorts of personal projects going on, crafts and cooking, working and volunteering. And pinning on Pinterest. That seems to take on a life of it’s own, at least in my household. Be watching for a chance to share your favorite Pinterest project with fellow Apronistas. I think that would be fun, plus we can find new friends to follow. I love seeing the beautiful and original projects pinned by crafty friends.

Anyway, I recently received such a fun email that I’m happy to share! Two dear friends are teaming up with a special Valentines Giveaway. One of my favorite Apronistas, Cynthia from D-Lux 57 is giving away one of her Valentines Cookies Designer Series Aprons:

Don’t you just LOVE the leopard trim and accent?? Plus, her D-Lux 57 aprons are all crafted in the USA. AND, she offering an Apronista discount code apronlove, worth 20% off til Feb 15, 2012.

Paired with that scrumptious apron are One Dozen Gourmet Cookies from Kelley Hart Custom Cookies! My mouth is watering just looking at my netbook!!

I love Kelley’s story:

I’ve been making cookies my whole life. Well, almost. I was born on Christmas Eve, in 19. . . let’s just say it was the latter part of the 20th century. While my mom and I were resting in the hospital, my dad and brother were home making Christmas cookies. The recipe they followed, which I still use to this day, came from my Grandma Wetter, my mom’s mom. I’ve been told it’s the best sugar cookie ever!

Throughout my childhood, we made these special cookies every Christmas. It was always a highlight of the season. Once I married and set up my own home, I started making cookies for other holidays too, Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween. . . It became my new family’s tradition.

After gifting friends and family with our delicious cookies, I started to get special requests, for weddings and birthday parties. Which leads us to Kelley Hart Custom Cookies! Our cookies are hand made, with meticulous loving care. We use the highest quality ingredients, with no preservatives or artificial anything. They are decorated with royal icing, and made fresh to order. Individually packaged or by the dozen, Kelley Hart Custom Cookies will make any occasion delightful and delicious.

Not only is she giving away some of her cookies, but she’s offering FREE shipping on orders placed through February 5. Visit her blog for another chance to win, http://hart2heart.typepad.com/hart_2_heart/.

Enter TODAY using Rafflecopter — deadline is February 9 so you can get your prize in time for Valentines!!! Lots of chances to win!
