Procter & Gamble with Publix: Cooking Up Early Detection Giveaway

Procter & Gamble and Publix are doing it again! Last year, they gave away a great set of pink cookware and kitchen tools. And if you missed out, bummer! I use my pink saute pan all the time!

But don't be too sad - you get another chance to get some pink cookware this year! Check your local Publix for a stand with these forms:


Then, spend $25 or more (before tax) on Procter & Gamble brands in one transaction between 9/20/10 and 10/17/10. If you can't find the forms, write the following on a piece of paper: your name, complete address, phone number, & name of retailer. Send your receipt and the form/info (postmarked by 10/25/10 and received by 11/8/10), and you'll get this great stuff:


The FREE pink kitchenware set from Good Cook’s Hope line includes a 2 quart sauce pan with lid, Classic Balloon Wisk, 3 Piece Mini Nylon Tool Set and 2 piece Nylon Scrub Brush Set.

But the best part about it is that you don't have to spend money on things you wouldn't normally buy. Procter & Gamble owns so many brands that you would likely spend $25 on them anyway! They own Bounty, Charmin, Crest, Puffs, Bounce, Olay, Swiffer, etc!

Custom Handmade Card Giveaway!

A good friend of mine has finally opened an Etsy shop to show off all her papercrafting genius! She was the artist behind my graduation party invitations (pictured below).


And even though that picture is great (thanks, Elise!), it doesn't do the invitation justice...the texture, the quality of the paper...just can't be captured on camera. Trust me when I say the invitations were awesome!

So, Nicole has finally opened her Etsy shop called hedgepiggle and she's sponsoring a giveaway just for you guys!

She's giving away this card:


And this one:
I love the vintage feel of both of them. And what better way to drop a "hello" note to a friend than on a card like this. So...there will be TWO winners of this giveaway. You may state your preference for the card you'd like to win in your comment, and we'll try our best to honor that.
