Watch Out November!

October 22, 2010 by Joy the Baker 136 Comments

No-Bake Peanut Butter Tart

I’m terrible with surprises.  All that dang waiting… it just seems so silly.

I have a surprise for all y’all.

This November… just some days from this day today… there’s going to be a giveaway everyday of the month here at J the B.

Everyday!  Something lovely for you to win!

Tell your friends.  Call your Mom.  Write your Congressman.  I’m going to wait in line at the post office.  It’s going to be fun.

I just thought I’d let you know… in case you were thinking of blog breaking up with me between now and next month.

    The ONLY thing better than a great sale is winning a giveaway~! ( I even love it when they have items on clearance in the grocery store….wonder if I need an intervention? )
