Birthday Giveaway!
Don’t be confused, these aren’t gifts I’ve received, these are gifts I’m giving away to YOU!
If anyone knows me in person, they’ll testify that I *love* giving gifts to other people. I honestly would prefer to pick out gifts for other people than I would receive them! (That’s not to say I don’t accept any gifts that come my way of course!) And so, to celebrate my 26th birthday, what better way than to give something to you guys?
It’s not much, but I picked up two cute little cookbooks, and two of the McCormick’s Cinnamon Grinders I love so much. You may remember me going on and on about them in my Banana Cinnamon Waffles post (I just made these again this past weekend too), or in my Crockpot Applesauce. I swear this cinnamon makes such a noticeable difference. I’ll pick two winners, and each will get a cookbook and cinnamon grinder. I’m just so thankful for everyone who spends a couple seconds or minutes of their week checking out my blog! And extra thankful to everyone who leaves me comments. And extra extra thankful and thrilled when you guys tell me you’ve tried a recipe I posted! I’ve just been so amazed at how my readers and followers have grown! THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Two quick shots of the Frame by Frame Baking cookbook, with cookies, bread, muffins, and more! If you’re a fan of lots of pictures, you’ll love this!
And the cute little cupcake book. This one doesn’t have a ton of recipes, but all the ones in here look great!
I was lucky enough to have a my friend at work bake me this AMAZING Starbucks VIA Chocolate Chip Banana Bundt Cake as an early start my birthday week. HOLY COW! It sure was a great way to start off my Monday morning!! Thanks Liesl!
And last year I celebrated with this Oreo Cake, which was incredible, and totally tasted like a big fat Oreo! Now, I’m not completely set on what I should bake for myself this year… So, to win:
Leave me a comment, and tell me WHAT WAS YOUR MOST RECENT BIRTHDAY CAKE?
And, for a second chance to win, if you Tweet about this giveaway, leave me a comment with the link to your tweet.
