Cookbook Giveaway!

It's here! My bloggy friend, Shannon, over at Rocks In My Dryer came up with this brilliant idea to have all of us (aka: her readers) participate in this grand, and I mean REALLY grand, week of drawings for free giveaways!

So, I spent some time thinking about what I might want to give away...something that related to my blog, and that anyone would love to have!

Based on your many responses to my post in this past week's Works For Me Wednesday, I've decided to give away a copy of one of my favorite cookbooks: Dream Dinners: Turn Dinnertime into Family Time with 100 Assemble-and-Freeze Meals.


So, why this cookbook? Well, if you want to know why I love this cookbook so much, then read here. And, if you want some evidence of my dinner success from this great cookbook, then click here and here!

So, here's how to play. Leave me a comment on this post, and at the end of the week...on Friday, July 27th, I'll randomly draw one name from all of the comments, and announce the winner! I'll then ship (for FREE!!) a copy of Dream Dinners directly to the winner! It's that easy!

BUT, don't just enter my drawing. You can find many other fun giveaways here. Just go to the various blog sites and leave a comment. You'll then be entered to win those drawings as well. You can be sure I'll be playing along, too!

I'm so glad that Shannon came up with this idea. I'm so excited that one of you will win a copy of this cookbook. Remember to check back on Friday to see if you're the winner! Good luck!!

*Please be sure to leave your email address along with your comment if you don't have a blog that has your email address listed on it. I'll need to have a way to notify you if you're the winner!
*International bloggers welcome!
