I'm so excited about this giveaway...No, I'm not giving Julia Usher away, I don't think I have the right to do that. What I am doing is giving away a signed copy of her latest book 'Ultimate Cookies'. Did I mention I spent the first four days of November at a Cookie Convention in Salt Lake City with 200 ladies who love cookies as much as I do? Well, someone else spent the first few days there as well - Julia Usher! I had the pleasure of meeting her and watch her do her magic! (I'm almost sure she had to use magic to create those stunning sugary displays) While Julia was busy signing books, I was busy finding my place in line.
After meeting Julia and getting my signed copy, I ran to my room to carefully place it in my suitcase so it would be safe and sound. I was so excited about meeting Julia and my newly signed book, I decided I really shouldn't keep all the excitment to myself - that would be selfish. So back in line I went and it was worth the wait, I took this opportunity to buy another book to give away to one of my favorite peeps - you!!!
And a special message from Julia~
Now don't you just want to start making cookie dough?
I did and I made a little snow scene cookie inspired by her snow globe cookies!
I wanted to do this giveaway as soon as possible so you have time to savor every recipe and photo throughout the entire book and still have time to create a masterpiece for the upcoming Holidays. All you have to do is leave a comment and you're entered into the drawing. Open to U.S. residents only and the giveaway ends at midnight November 18th , 2012.
