Last Giveaway of 2009 & a new post series for 2010


This will be the last of our giveaways for awhile. I will hopefully start up again with more wonderful items in the Spring.
This cold weather has me reminiscing of old Family moments. This Giveaway is in thanks to those memories of a loved one who would make Biscuits for dinner and drizzle honey over the halves....
This last one will have 3 winners. 1 grand prize and 2 runner ups.
The Grand prize winner will receive:
This beautiful Honey Pot from Honey Acres:
Which can also be purchased direct from their site http://beekeepersbestinc.com/Home/tabid/37/Default.aspx
"NOW IN OUR 5TH GENERATION!
Today, Honey Acres is located on a 40-acre
property in rural Ashippun, Wisconsin;
midway between Milwaukee and Madison.
The History of Beekeeping and Honey in America As told by a family honey company that is over 150-years old. Christian Diehnelt moved his family from Germany to Wisconsin in 1852. He brought with him the talent and love of beekeeping that would become the foundation for a honey company that has survived to this day."

These exceptionally well made Stainless steel Endurance® Biscuit Cutters
Which can also be purchased through http://www.cheftools.com/

" Our biscuit cutters feature stainless steel construction with comfortable arched handles and thin blades that cut through thick or thin dough. The set of 4 cutters nest together for easy storing and are dishwasher safe. Choose from rippled edges for decorative biscuit, cookie or canapé shapes, or the traditional plain edge style.
#RBC-4 Round, Rippled, 1-3/8" dia. to 2-3/4" dia. "
These would also make for beautiful cookie cutters. Scalloped edge cookie sandwiches filled with homemade preserves. The smallest cutter in the set would make for the perfect doughnut hole window for showcasing the gem filling!

There will be a surprise in the lot for our Grand prize winner to go with the above.
As for our 2 Runner ups, you will receive 1 of the Elegant Honey Pots from Honey Acres and your choice of 1 loose tea blend from my Etsy store.

As to how you can win, leave a comment to this post telling 5 of you goals/resolutions for 2010. Which must pertain to Homesteading and or Self sufficiency.
Are beginning a garden or enlarging the one you have? Are you adding chickens or rabbits? Do you plan to learn a "new to you" skill or improve on one? Maybe you will start that compost pile or bin you keep thinking of.Or introduce Medicinal Herbs into your family health and care. How about learning to save seed or starting your garden this year with Heirloom/Open Pollinated varieties?What ever it may be, no matter how small or large. We would love to know what you have in mind.
I wish all of you the best of luck and hope we are able to fill Frog's Bean pot with many more names this time around.
I will begin a new series of posts pertaining to Suburban Self sufficiency/Homesteading after the New year. There are many who only have a small lot which they can adventure with. I would rather have a yard full of edibles then grass to mow. One should never be ignorant of potential disaster or hard times. There are so many examples in this economy of families going broke like the Trucking company out West which called all their drivers on Christmas eve to drop off their trucks at certain locations due to the company closing. (Thank you Chris for that tidbit. It is a perfect example to share here.)Just like that. No other notice.
So think hard on what you will do to improve your Self Sufficiency for 2010 and be sure to leave you comment here before January 15th, 2010. Plenty of time to get those lists going.
Wishing all a prosperous, healthy & Happy New Year! Salute!
Sweetest Dreams,
~Tammie
