Today, July 9th, we are Giving Away... (PRIZES CLAIMED)

A $30.00 Gift Certificate and a "My Cookie Book" from Karen's Cookies

One word: COOKIES. Is that one word enough to get you to enter to win today? I know it would be for me. Cause c'mon, how tasty are cookies? Very. And so I should just leave it at that one word. But I can't. Because there is just so much that I want to tell you about Karen's Cookies, who just so happens to be our featured company today.

First off, last March I received this Frog Cookie Kit from Karen's Cookies:

Loved it (and so did my family). So many uses. To name just a few: my kids and I made froggy cookies for a bunch of our neighbors; my sister's childhood nickname was "Froggy" so we made froggy cookies for our family gathering on Sunday (everyone thought the cookies were great, especially "Froggy", oops, I mean Kris); and finally my little gal turned four in April. She wanted to have a Princess Party and she wanted her guests to decorate froggy cookies using our kit from Karen's Cookies. So I read aloud the story Frog Prince and then each little pricess decorated her own frog cookie. It was a big hit (and I have to say, I thought they did a really good job, I especially like the froggy on the left whose wearing a little smile):

Karen's Cookies offers 14 fun cookie decorating kits. Each kit comes complete with everything you will need to shape and decorate your very own cookies. Let me show you just a few of the yummy (and very attractive) cookies you can make with Karen's Cookies kits:

Stars and Stripes Forever

Oh Tannenbaum

Adorable Onesies. Seriously, would these not be the cutest little treats at a baby shower? Or wouldn't it be fun to take them to a family who just brought home a new bundle of joy?

Karen's Cookies also sells cookie cards which explain how to make and decorate different cookies. Two such cards:

This one gives instructions for a pizza, watermelon, hamburger, taco, and hot dog!


And this one shows how to make a soccerball, volleyball, baseball, football, and a basketball.

But if by chance you just can't decide which cookie card instruction sheet to buy, you can enter to win (and/or purchase) the "My Cookie Book" which includes all 15 cookie cards (Recipe Card, Wedding Cake, Baby Buggy, Frog, Pizza, Patriotic Stars, School Bus, Sports Balls, Fall Leaves, Jack O Lantern, Ghost, Snowman, Santa, Christmas Trees, Snowflakes):

I recently received "My Cookie Book" in the mail. My children were just as thrilled as I to look through the book and discover all of the fun cookies we are going to be able to make and decorate together. A cookie for every occassion, I say.

The thing I love best about Karen's Cookies products is that you will have them forever. And not only do they make people happy (eating deliciously decorated cookies brings joy to most tummies), but they also allow you to make lasting memories as you bake and decorate cookies with your sweetie, children, grandchildren, nieces, or nephews.

So go ahead and buy something that is going to help you make memories, darn it. And we are here to help make it even easier (and cheaper).

For a fourth entry, in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and a good idea for a birthday party that you have thrown or one in which you or someone you know has attended.
Example: Jane Doe: Last year I wanted to encourage my son to continue reading throughout the summer months. I told him if he would read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory we could have a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory party for his birthday at the end of July. When the time came, we delivered chocolate bars to each of his friends which contained a Golden Ticket inviting them to the party. As the boys arrived on party day, we divided them into groups and rotated to three stations. At one station they made suckers, at another they played musical chairs to the Oompa-Loompa music, and at the third they played "Don't Eat Pete" using the words "Willy, Willy, Wonka". At the end of the party we brought out two chocolate fountains for dessert. A good time was had by all.

The winner of the $30.00 gift certificate and "My Cookie Book" from Karen's Cookies will be announced tomorrow, Friday, July 10th. We do not contact the winners, so please visit us again tomorrow to see if you are our winner and to discover our new giveaway for the day. Thanks and have a great day!
