A giveaway, people!

But first, CONGRATULATIONS to Bridge! She had a large male child today. And he is soooo cute. Why are there forty-seven states between me and that baby!

And so, partially in celebration of that blessed event, and partially because... I just wanna, I hereby announce:

MY VERY FIRST BLOG GIVEAWAY!!! I know, right? You're all IT'S ABOUT TIME!

Well folks, I actually have been mulling this over for quite a while. I'm not quite so crafty that I feel comfortable giving something handmade (though s t a y t u n e d for a full report of a parTICularly creative and fruitful holiday weekend in this household. Prepare, my friends, to be impressed).

So anyway, I've been thinking and thinking about what to give away, you know, wanting it to be cool enough for you guys and stuff (seriously). And then on our date night a few weeks ago, Mike and I hit my favorite bookstore and one of the books on the table jumped right up and into my bag. In FACT...

TWO OF THEM JUMPED.

And so, without further blah blah, I give you... the giveaway:
Oh folks. This book is GOOOOD. It is called The Secret Life of Food and it has the funniest, craziest, most creative ideas on how to style and serve food at all occasions.

I give you a few of my favorite examples:
Did you see that? SUSHI CUPCAKES, PEOPLE! These are made of candy, coconut, cream, and other various sweet delicacies. ADORABLE.

And who WOULDN'T want to come home at the end of the day and see this under the bed:
Ok, admittedly, some ideas are more usable than others. But there are some great Halloween ideas, and many fun general party foodstuffs.

You want this book. Trust me.

Here are the rules:
You have until July 20th to enter.

And.....GO!
