Hello there.....Just wanted to say that this is probably the best giveaway I have EVER seen. Different companies offer lovely things for free and all you need to do is fill out the form and if your chosen it will come to you without any further obligation.
I enter every one and have actually won before. I am not a blogger, I am a wife mother and grandmother who lives out on the prairie and once in a while the random generator has been kind. I have absolutely no connection with the good folks at AP other than loving their wonderful site and all the beauty and creativity they share with us. I hope you will find many opportunities to continue entering these wonderful contest, not only here, but in other places. Be persistent...and good luck. Sincerely...another reader.

I just used my mouli to make potatoes tonight...they are so smooth and creamy when done with this tool.Of late I use it to make baby foods for my grandson...we freeze meal size portions of carrots, potatoes, green beans and squash and cooked fruits. I use my digital thermometer to check everything...takes the guess work out and gives me piece of mind.

You can also place the bin in the freezer, stops the fruit flies and prevents any odors from building up. Just leave it to sit out overnight to thaw and empty it the next morning...it will all breakdown in the heap.

Just this past week my husband and I took a watercolor painting by our almost three year old grandson to Hobby Lobby and bought a very nice frame (11x17) and had a mat cut to showcase the work...we had them put turn slides on the back so we could remove the work and replace it with new paintings later...we also had different size mat openings cut in several other mats to use with smaller paintings or drawings. We had a frame that was perfect with a gun metal finish and non-glare glass...the mats the same color with just a little bit of silver squiggly shapes in it. It cost us $27.00. We will have one made for baby brother too! We will hang their artwork in the family dining area in our house....
