*THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED.

The cupcake craze is far from over. Cupcake crawls are still popping up from coast to coast. And they’re still all the rage at weddings.

Why? They’re delicious. They’re pretty. They don’t require utensils. They’re economical. Which makes them a perfect alternative to wedding cakes – and ideal for wedding and shower favors!

I love consumable wedding favors, so when Tawnya from Gourmet Gift Company in California offered up a $100 gift certificate towards her gourmet custom label cupcake mix wedding/shower favors as a contest prize for my readers, I was delighted!

These are not your typical out-of-the-box cupcakes! (Read a review over here ). The mixes are handmade is small batches with wholesome ingredients. They are all-natural with no artificial flavors or preservatives. Your guests simply add fresh ingredients from their kitchen and bake. Each box makes a dozen cupcakes. What a sweet reminder of your wedding day!

What was the wedding favor that you received at the last wedding you attended? What made it a good (or not-so-good) wedding favor?

Win the Love Queen: OWOH Giveaway

January 31, 2009 by Christina

OWOH giveaway, acrylic painting original

Aside from being a writer, and the owner of this website, I am an artist. Lately, I have had little time to paint. Last night, on my birthday, I plunked myself down and got down and dirty with the paints. Pure bliss. This is what transpired. I call this little lady (4″ x 6″ acrylic and collage on canvas original) Love Queen. And she can be yours. I’m part of this super neat giveaway called One World, One Heart (OWOH Giveaway). All you need to do is leave a comment here on my blog by midnight eastern time on February 11. I will draw a winner at random on Feb. 12. Here’s a bit of info from the One World, One Heart giveaway:

The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. 2007 had roughly 85-90 participants and many connections were made because of it……friendships that are still going strong…. This is more than wanting to win something…….that is only the means…….in the end it’s about finding kindred spirits. Someone who may be fairly new to blogging, not sure how to navigate, find others and have others find them….Some are long time bloggers and in some cases well known in the art community.
