Bake-N-Blog and a Winner!

So this post is actually going up about 12 hours later than I had intended it to. I was so excited to determine my giveaway winner at 8:00 last night but unfortunately I came home from work feeling less than well, fell asleep at 7:00 and slept right through until 7:30 this morning! The good news is that I'm feeling a lot better this morning and I have a winner! More on that in a minute...

First I wanted to tell you about a blog event I'm really excited to participate in, the Bake-N-Blog Holiday Edition hosted by Kelly over at JAX does design. The idea is that every participant chooses a Christmas cookie recipe to try and then blogs about their experience baking them on December 1. Head on over to Kelly's blog to learn more and sign up to participate by clicking the button below. I'm making Scotcheroos and I can't wait to share with you :)

And now, what you've been waiting for, the winner of my giveaway! I took into account your comments as well your "likes" on Facebook and then used the Math Goodies Custom Random Number Generator. I'm very happy to announce that the winner is Shannon @ What's Up Whimsy!

Shannon has a very cool design blog called What's Up Whimsy! where she shares her tips and tricks for creating a home full of contemporary whimsy with a hint of vintage.

Congrats to Shannon and thank you so much to everyone else who entered! And for those who didn't win, don't worry because I'm working on another fun giveaway, this time with a Christmas theme, that I should be ready to tell you about next week!

Enjoy your weekend and  I'll be back later with the results of  my fresh winter planter.
