Good Afternoon

I am having my first ever giveaway! I'm sorry that it is a little late for Christmas, but I hope to get it out to the winner before Christmas arrives!

This is a vintage/thrift giveaway. All items were bought second hand at my favorite thrift shop.
The apron is a cheery red check with white band and ruffle. It is perfect for Christmas and year round if you love red~which I do! The cookie cutters are a mix of vintage metal and plastic, all Christmas designs for those special cookies this time of year. There are a couple of more cutters that didn't make it in the picture that will be in the giveaway.


There is also a copy of Holiday Desserts published by Kraft foods in 1993. There are seventeen recipes in this little booklet and all of them look delicious!

Please register by Friday, December 12. I'll be drawing the winner's name on Saturday, December 13, and will get the package out to the winner as soon as you provide me with your address!

If you mention the giveaway on your blog, please let me know and I will put your name in the drawing bowl twice.
And you know what? Nothing goes with those Christmas cookies better than hot cocoa! Click on over to Sue's blog and register for her Holiday Hot Cocoa giveaway!
Also, check out the great giveaway over at The Serenity Gate and register!

    I am so glad that you are feeling better. I love aprons they remind me of my Mom and Grandma. My husband loves the color red so I would love to be added to your giveaway. RoseMary, you are very sweet to do this for us. Hope you are beginning to feel the Christmas spirit, now that you are feeling better. connie from Texas

    A great Giveaway! It would be perfect for my granddaughter who has been caught in a custody fight and has a hard year. Her request for Christmas is to make old-fashioned decorated Christmas cookies with Oma. Guess that's her comfort. (She gets her wish even if we don't win the giveaway -- SHH, don't tell her.)
