A Giveaway For EVERYBODY!!

I promised a giveaway for everybody...and here it is!!!I am giving away this adorable NWT apron (can you tell I like ebay?) that I picked up at LuLu's while we were at the beach last week. Since I do not ship my cookies, I wanted to host a giveaway that all of my cookie friends anywhere could enter. Ya'lls sweet requests for me to ship my cookies make me really want to pursue the whole shipping thing, but I just think I am too paranoid of a baker to do that. I think I would literally hold my breath from the minute I left them at the post office until I knew they were received safe and sound. I try to lead a pretty simple, stress-free life, and I think that might be a little bit of a hinderance :)
So to anybody anywhere, all you have to do for a chance to win this cute apron is simply leave me a comment on this post. I will leave this giveaway open until Thursday, July 30th at midnight and will pick a winner Friday morning, July 31st (which is also my Nana's 98th birthday!).
I thought I would model it for ya'll. Lucy was taking these pictures, so you can't see all of it. Then she wanted to model it...

Now it is all packaged back up and ready to be won by one of you!! Good luck!!

Dear Cookie Mama - I've been reading through your blog for the past week now. You have really inspired me!! I just started making cookies (I want to be good at baking something special for my 2 little boys) and cookies is a great creative outlet for me! I teach 3rd grade during the year so this summer I thought I'd give the cookie thing a whirl. I was happy to read your Nana is having her 98th birthday - how wonderful! Thank you for posting pics of your beautiful cookies! I wish I lived closer so I could order some!!!
blessings!

I'm not sure I'd wear it as well as Ms Lucy, but I'd try! I'm one of the many who'd LOVE for you to ship cookies! Especially since my son's first birthday is coming up! But thanks so much for doing a contest for everyone.

I love your work! I am starting to teach pre-k 3 year olds this year and I have been looking over all your pictures for ideas for little happies for my kids first day. How much notice do you need to make an order up?

That is so funny! I was just asking my husband where my Halloween apron was. I can't find it and I am always getting oil and all that good stuff on my shirts. I would love this one and it's my favorite color!

Hey Shannon - glad you're back - I look at your cookies everyday and I'm on the edge of jumping in head first and trying my hand at cookie decorating - a new apron sure would be a great security blanket!!!

What a cute apron! Guess what Nana and I have the same Birthday; Happy Birthday to us! I just found your site not too long ago and haven't had the opportunity to order some of your super cute cookies but since I live in Starkville you better know that I'm going to be contacting you in the near future. Have a good day!

Hi Cookie Mama! Oh, I cannot believe that I'm not just seeing this post. I'm soooo putting your cookies down on my daily reads so I do not miss another COOKIE update! :)

Speaking of cookies...You should definitely do a trial shipping. Ship it to someone who lives away (ummmm...me) and she can check out how well it went! :)


Ohhh...and pretty apron! I don't own one, and always want one, but never want to spend my money on on one! :)

xo!

I am one of your readers that LOVES to check and see what new ideas you have come up with!! All your cookies are adorable and I would LOVE it if you tried to ship!! I agree with an above comment to do a trial shipment and I wouldn't mind being that person!!
I love the apron too! I don't have one but my 2 year old daughter does and she would love it if mommy had one to wear too!:)
Thanks and happy summer!
