Sweet Treat #2

**UPDATED: COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED STAY TUNED FOR THE LUCKY WINNER**
TO PURCHASE SOME OF THESE SOAPS AND HELP A GOOD CAUSE, VISIT OUR ETSY STORE!

Are you exhausted from entering giveaways yet?? It’s only Tuesday, so pace yourself!!

Anyway, today I’m adding a giveaway… one that is for a very special cause. I don’t think I’ve mentioned them much, but I have a group of good friends through a Cooking Light Supper Club. We met each other right around September 2001. For the past seven years, we’ve been meeting every so often to, well, eat. Most notably, homemade, fabulous, gourmet low-fat fare. Oh, and dessert. There is always dessert.

This giveaway is dedicated to one of my fellow supper-clubbers who has been recently diagnosed with bone marrow cancer. She’s starting treatment, and her prognosis is good, but she’s going to need help to get through it. So, the club gathered to eat….and to brainstorm. We are selling this fabulous homemade chocolate scented heart shaped soaps in time for Valentine’s Day…and I bought a few to giveaway!!

I am giving away 1 heart shaped box with three chocolate scented soaps–perfect for a chocoholic or that special someone.

If you are interested in purchasing a soap (or three) click here (this goes to another blog post for now, it will eventually link to our up and coming Etsy store!)

To enter this giveaway, please leave me a comment and an email if it’s not linked to your profile….comments will close Friday around 5pm EST and a winner will be announced shortly there after. One entry per person please, US residents only (sorry!)

Oh! And while you are here, please check out my other giveaway, which closes Thursday night!

In case you haven’t heard (how could you not have heard?) this is the week of the bloggy giveaways carnival. After entering this giveaway head on over to Bloggy Giveaways and enter lots more !

Having a child with food allergies, I appreciate a fun treat that is allergen free*. Do you remember Fruit Roll Ups? You remember–those strips of dried fruit that came all rolled up? (Thus the name) Well, welcome to Fruit Roll Ups in the 21st century–*MY* Fruit Roll ups. You can now go to the My Fruit Roll Ups website and create your own, personalized, custom image fruit roll up, to celebrate any event. They make great favors for birthday parties, block parties, or dare I suggest that holiday that is almost upon us–Valentine’s Day?!? I’ve just ordered a box of personalized fruit roll ups–MAM chose a kitty cat, and I added a Valentine’s Day message. I can’t wait for her to pass them out at her school’s Valentine’s Day party!

The GIVEAWAY
I would like for you to have a chance to create your own personalized version of this classic lunchtime favorite. To enter, simply leave me a comment telling me the sweetest Valentine you’ve ever received (or sent, if you’re really good at that sort of thing and would like toot your own horn). I’ll pick three of the sweetest and let you know THURSDAY NIGHT if you are the winner. Winners will each receive one box of 30 personalized fruit roll ups. To have your order ready for Valentine’s day, you must order on the site by Sunday, February 3rd, so start telling me your sweet V-day stories already! (open to US residents only–sorry!) Non-bloggers are welcome, and be sure to leave an email where I can reach you!

Comments will be closed at around 5 pm EST Thursday, January 31st, winner emailed that evening.

(*free of all common allergies, they do contain corn syrup)

Pay It Forward Exchange

There’s been so much fun going on lately in the blogosphere, this is just another fun thing to keep beating away at the winter doldrums. Julie, a fellow teacher, mom via adoption and blogger (I know, what are the odds?!?) put the shout out for a Pay It Forward exchange, and I’m joining in the fun. Basically, I will send a handmade gift to the first three bloggers to comment on this post and take the following pledge on their own blogs:

I , [insert your name here] will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange, and who make the same pledge on their own blogs.

So, if you are up for it, leave me a comment with a way to reach you, and I will send you a nifty handmade gift just in time for Valentine’s day.
