So yesterday, I totally did a Saturday “Simple Smile” post…on Tuesday. It was an accident, I tell you. I sincerely thought it was Saturday. I know, I know, I’m in a time warp. It can’t be explained except to say–wait until you’re MY age and see if you can always keep things straight…
like what day it is.
So to make up for my ridiculous behavior yesterday, we’re going to have an incredible giveaway of some of my most favorite things in the entire world…
Cookbooks!!

And not just any cookbooks–but a scrumptious set that I found at JoAnn Fabrics with nearly edible photographs. No kidding. I picked up the “Pies” one first…

then saw the “Cookies” one behind it. Needed that one too.

Then when I moved that one, “Baking Made Simple” was at the back and it was calling to me.
What could I do?

I bought them all. I kept thinking, “these would make a wonderful giveaway…” but the longer IÂ carried them around the store, the closer I held them to my heart and then the tighter my grubby little fingers clutched onto them.
My thoughts changed a bit to “Actually I neeed these cookbooks to add to my collection of 65,000 back at home.” It was a sad sight indeed–such greedy behavior from a grown woman. Honestly.
So this post is a sort of penance giveaway, to prove to myself that I can actually share…
whether I want to or not.

And to make up for yesterday.
I could have sworn it was Saturday.
Sheesh.
PS~ Leave a comment on this post telling me if you’ve ever made a recipe from Gracious Rain. If yes, which one? If not, tell me one that you’d like to try and I’ll try not to be too hurt about it.
Then, poof! You’ll be entered in the giveaway. I’ll announce the winner on Monday, March 12, 2012 at 10:00 am.
