Manolo for the Brides

Free wedding books? Sweet!

The lovely Jennie! (And I’m not just calling her lovely because she said she wanted my book, mind you…) Her favorite flavor of wedding cake is classic vanilla, but she’s not averse to wackier options like Funfetti. Which I, too, would happily eat at a wedding or otherwise.

And P.S. – Speaking of contests, if you’re feeling kindly and would like to help a totally deserving couple win the Disney fairytale wedding of their dreams, this couple (who had micro-preemie twins and lost one soon after birth) could really use your votes!

…the generous Charli, of Two Bad Dogs Quilling. In response to the question I posed, the oh-so-sweet Charli said:

I will give the box to my wonderful MIL who is 84 and will be gone soon. She loves all things chocolate.

While I would surely love to be eating a whole box of delish dipped madeleines myself, I certainly can’t think of someone I’d rather see eating them in my stead. Congrats, Charli! I or someone from Donsuemor will be in touch soon!

After I posted my Donsuemor madeleine review last week, the company graciously offered to do a giveaway of their limited edition heart shaped madeleines. These are the same gourmet madeleines that so tickled my fancy transformed for Valentine’s day. Cute!

You *could*give these sweet madeleines to your sweetie if you win the giveaway, but as someone who ended up having to share with a cookie-loving toddler, I recommend keeping them. And eating them all at once while watching a series of wedding-themed movies. You know, to de-stress!

Win It!
The nice people at Donsuemor are offering one lucky commenter a sample box of their delish heart-shaped madeleines – chocolate, chocolate dipped original, and white chocolate dipped chocolate. To enter, just leave a comment telling us whether you plan to share your madeleines or eat them all yourself! I think you know my preference.

This giveaway will end at 11:59 p.m. EST on Thursday, February 3, and the winner – chosen via your friend and mine, the trusty random number generator – will be announced on Friday. Good luck!

The gorgeous Emily! Who says she wants to to make a book of photos from the first five years she and her hubbie-to-be have been together, which sounds like a lovely idea to me.

Big congrats, Emily – I or someone from Lulu will be in touch soon with details on how you can redeem your prize!

P.S. – I am so, so sorry that the contest winner wasn’t announced sooner. Long story short, my family suffered a loss recently that made it very hard for me to keep up with certain things. Needless to say, future contest winners will be announced on time.
