Creative Holiday Recipe Contest!!

Hey guys!

After many years of blogging and getting to know all y’all, I’ve noticed that you’re pretty stinking creative.

 

Some of my most favorite posts and recipes have come from ideas from readers!

So…here’s the deal…

Shelly (Cookies and Cups) and I are joining forces for a fun little challenge.

We thought we would give YOU guys the chance to impress US with your mad holiday baking skills.

 

Let’s talk details…

  • Your creative idea must be just that…YOUR idea. NO adaptations or “inspired by” posts please.
  • You must post your idea on your website any day from December 9th through December 14th and also link your post up on either my site or Shelly’s, using our link-up widget. It’s really easy, don’t worry!
  • In the post on your site you need to link back to our sites to be eligible to win…like this, “I am entering this {name of your recipe} in the Creative Holiday Recipe Contest hosted by Confessions of a Cookbook Queen and Cookies and Cups!“
  • Shelly and I will judge your entries based on Creativity, Use of Ingredients and Ease of Preparation. We want the idea to be something that anyone can duplicate!
  • Winners will be announced on December 15th

Really, that’s it!

 

Now, let’s talk prizes!

1st prize will win a brand new 8GB iPad mini, in white.

2nd prize will win a $100 Amazon gift card

3rd prize will win a $50 Amazon gift card

 

We are SO excited to see what you smarty people come up with! It’s gonna be a lot of fun!

 

So put your thinking caps on and get ready for December 9th! We can’t wait!!

Thanks for reading!! I put lots of love into this post, so if you enjoyed it, please leave a comment, share, or subscribe. (As you can probably tell, I'm in constant need of validation, so this keeps me from questioning my self worth and crying into a box of wine) If, by some chance, you didn't enjoy the post, take it up with my personal zombie ninja.
About Kristan
I’m a proud housewife with a son in the second grade and a sweet baby girl. Like most little boys, my son funny and cute but a little weird. Which only makes me love him more. And the baby? Well...I know she'll sleep eventually. If I could, I would paint my life pink, sprinkle it with glitter, and give everyone a cupcake.

      I’m sorry!! I wish you could too!! Unfortunately there is no way to link up without an actual link, which means you have to have a blog. Shelly and I tried to find a way around it, but there just isn’t…people need a way to get to the recipe/instructions, ect. So sorry :(

    No matter if some one searches for his vital thing, so he/she desires to be
    available that in detail, so that thing is maintained
