So I am going to give you stuff. Lot’s of stuff. Lot’s of cool, “sweet stuff” made by some really fabulous ladies. Just in time for Valentines Day. That way you can share your stuff (not that stuff, this stuff) with the people you like.
Got it?
Good.
As the winner of the Big Sweet Giveaway you will win:

* A Set of 4 Heart Shaped Wilton Cookie Cutters, perfect for making Valentines Day cookies or for cutting everyday food into special snacks (my kids love when I cut their PB & J sandwiches into shapes)
* And the Martha Stewart’s Handmade Holiday Crafts book, which has great ideas for decorating and gifting giving at any holiday!
From Karen’s Corner (a.k.a my Mom’s store as soon as I find someone to create an Etsy shop for her) -
* 6 of the Sweetest, handmade cards you will ever see. In an age of of texting and emails, I bet there is someone who would love to receive actual mail from you!
From The Sweetest Affair -
* Give flowers and candy in one for Valentine’s Day! A gift that says “Sweet Love” with this small red paper flower and cherry cheesecake lollipop bouquet.

PS – Thank you so much to all of my hostesses, for donating their time and talent to this giveaway!
I would love to have the bouquet from The Sweetest Affair. My mom was my Valentine, but now I would like to give the bouquet to a nice group of ladies, senior citizens, who do not have anyone to remember them.
You said we don’t have to commen on Karen’s Corner, but as I said in my first post, I love drawing my own cards. It would be wonderful to have a few made by someone else, these are adorable!!!!
Tag Me Chic – plz be my partner in crime. I confess I ruined a toddler’s perfectly good dinner when he spied my cupcakes on the counter, that’s all he wanted. I’d love these cupcake decorations to be able to commit my “crimes” with panache! I’d be proud to take a picture of them for my facebook page!!
Skylar Raine – I would do cartwheels if I won these cute accessories. I luv making lil’ hats for kids, and I try to make my own flowers, but they often look like Frankenstein made them. I would like to add them to some cute kids bonnets I’m making for Easter.
Andersruff – I really need these for my “adopted” kids’ birthday parties, these designs will catapult me from being just an auntie to being the Best Best Auntie! I want everyone to be talking about my parties so even more ppl will come (the more, the merrier), and having these cute designs will Make it Happen!!!

My favorite part about Valentine’s day is making heart shaped mini cakes or cookies and my spicy lollipops for loved ones! All the gifts are lovely by the way, very nice of you to share.
I love having a day dedicated to telling our loved ones that we care.
My favorite part of Valentines Day is being with my family. They are all my Valentines. We make heart shaped cookies and decorate them, have heart shaped pizza for dinner and have juice in champagne glasses.
My favorite part of Valentine’s is designing cute, thoughtful cards and gifts every year
Feeling the love! And it’s close to my anniversary so I get double warm fuzzies/happies
