So. Christmas is the time for giving.  And now, I get to give to you, my readers.  I love getting comments, emails, feedback, and as a way of saying “THANKS! Ya’ll ROCK!” I am giving away a sweet little gift.

The 90th Anniversary

KitchenAid Stand Mixer.

Whaaaaaa?

Yes, really.  I don’t even have this bad boy myself, but I roll like that. You matter more. (okay, I kinda choked a little there. But I do mean it, for what it’s worth.)

Look at this thing! Look what it has to offer!

  • All-metal 10-speed stand mixer with powerful 325-watt motor
  • Direct-drive transmission; 67-point planetary mixing action
  • 9-cup flour capacity; tilt-back head; multipurpose attachment hub
  • 5-quart glass bowl, flat beater, dough hook, and wire whip included
  • It;s Candy Apple Red. Candy Apple. Sweeeeet.
  • So, what do you have to do to win?

    First, you need to live in the US.  But only in the 48 states that actually touch.  Sorry Alaska.  Sorry Hawaii.  Shipping’s huge.  So, Continental US readers only, please.

    Second…leave me a comment.  Tell me what you like most about my blog.  Is it the recipes? The stories?  The Mommy stuff?  The behind the scenes look at my life?  These answers certainly matter this time – I’m looking at a site redesign for the new year based on this feedback.  So, don’t say I really like the color.  That doesn’t help. Much.

    If you want more chances to win, here’s how…

    1.Follow me on Twitter, then Tweet this giveaway.  Make sure you come back here and comment, letting me know you now follow (or already do) and that you tweeted.  That counts as ONE, not one each.  Just one.

    2. Become my friend on Facebook, and then tell all your FaceBooky Friends that you entered to win this fabulous machine and give them the link.  Again, this counts as ONE, just make sure to return here and leave an additional comment.

    3. Post about this giveaway on your own site with a link to this post. Return. Comment. Rinse, repeat. You get the picture.

     

    So – that’s one, two, three, FOUR chances to get your name in the hat for a chance to win this Be YOOO tiful mixer.  Even if YOU don’t need it (are you kidding?) I bet you have someone on your Christmas Wish List that would Lurve it.  Lurrrrve.

    And don’t say I never gave you anything.

    Giveaway ends at midnight on Friday, December 11.  GO!

    I came here via Twitter, and I'm so happy I did! I'm sure I'll love the recipes and learning more about you, but what stood out to me the most was your "About Me" page. Specifically your paragraph about Seven, and how he got his name.

    Coolest. Story. EVER.

    I'm going to add you to my reader.
    I also hope you'll pick my number, because seven is the number of years I've asked for a Kitchenaid mixer and haven't received one. (Seriously.) :)
