Here we are on the 12th day of the month again, so it is giveaway time. I have been amazed by how quickly time seems to keep speeding by this year. When I started 2012′s 12 Months of Giveaways with a Built Potholder & Oven Mitt Set back in January, I had no idea how I would come up with 11 other giveaways with which to entertain readers throughout the year. But here we are, over half-way through.
I’m going back to the beginning this month and offering another Potholder & Oven Mitt Set, except this time I want to make two lucky readers happy. To enter to win either the Bright Flowers set seen above or the Pucci Inspired set seen below, simply leave a comment on the blog post. Most of us have been enjoying/tolerating/coping with crazy hot temperatures this summer, so tell me what you do to beat the heat. Or, tell me about your favorite go-to recipe when turning on the stove or the oven just isn’t an option.
Fine Print: This giveaway will end at 1201 a.m. EST on July 29. I will use a random number generator to pick the winners. The first winner selected will be able to choose his/her desired design. I will notify the winner via the email address provided in the comment form. The winner will have 72 hours to contact me to claim the prize before another winner is chosen. Apologies to International readers as I am able to ship only to U.S. mailing addresses.
Good Luck!!
***This giveaway is now closed. Thank you for entering!***


To beat the summer heat, I opt for a nice crisp salad. Baby field greens tossed with fresh strawberries, pineapple, bluberries, cucumber, toasted walnuts and poppyseed dressing. I was inspired to make this from Panera Bread as they have a very similar salad.
love the pucci-inspired one! to stay cool in the summer, i eat lots more no-cook meals like salad. and send the husband out for lots more takeout. =) sad but true!
To beat the heat, I typically hibernate indoors with the DVR or a book. Food-wise, I’ve been making lots of sorbets. Flavors ranging from Very Berry (named by my dad and is great with brownies), Mango/Pineapple/Strawberry, and most recently Cherry.
Those potholders are so pretty! I love the colors in both!
Well, as I am typing this, I am eating a cold sesame noodle salad. I’ve also been craving ice cream/gelato/frozen yogurt more than ever this summer, so yeah, I’ll blame that on the heat
We like to go boating to beat the heat. Our part of Wisconsin is currently going through a sever drought and water levels are low. I hope it rains soon, for many reasons.
