williams-sonoma gift card {giveaway}
(This giveaway is closed.)
Sometimes I feel like I’m not completely honest with you.
Sure, I blather on a good deal about tartlets, quick breads and epic baking fails. I even post a few pictures of my travels from time to time or tell you when I haven’t shaved my legs. But I don’t always tell you how I feel about you. I don’t always tell you, dearest reader, how grateful I am that you are here. How your visits, your hilarious and sweet comments, your inspiring and encouraging e-mails make me smile and feel all the warm fuzzies inside. And if I can’t tell you all this at Christmastime, well then, when can I?
So here it is: Thank you for being here. Thank you for being here to spend a few minutes with me. Thank you for sharing your experiences in the kitchen. Thank you for being so gracious and kind when I royally screw up a bread and make a salad out of it. Thank you for allowing me to turn this passion of mine not only into a career, but a way of life. Thank you for being wonderful.
Now about this here gift card I’ve already taunted you with: Because ’tis the season for giving and I have a crush on Williams-Sonoma, I’m giving away a $25 gift card to one lucky, loyal reader. It’s pennies compared to how thankful I am for you, but I hope you like it. Use it to buy Mom that madeleine pan she’s always wanted, or your best friend this adorable apron. Or treat yo’self and get a little something sweet or savory (or both).
Merry Christmas, everyone! And in case I haven’t been clear enough, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. You make this place super specialsauce.
Here’s the giveaway rundown. To enter, leave a comment below answering the following question: All I want for Christmas is ________ ?

A full night’s sleep and home-made croissants in the morning (thanks for the recipe–it’s still on the “must try” list). First part is highly unlikely on Christmas Eve, and moderately unlikely at any other time, with a 6-year-old in the house; second part is definitely happening this xmas!
All I want for Christmas is a full nights sleep….and a new spatula!
peace and patience. If someone could bottle and sell that stuff, I’d make them millionaires. In the meantime, I’ll take pie!

I have it all. (Except a good candy thermometer that I could get from Williams-Sonoma! :)). In all honesty, my twin boys that were born WAY too early (at 23 weeks weighing just a pound each) just turned 6. I was assured they wouldn’t survive, and they did!!! What more can I truly ask for? I just found your website and ecstatic that I did. I can assure you that I will follow you to Facebook and twitter and wherever else my phone will take me! 🙂
