Holiday Gift Giveaway

It is time to celebrate here at The Country Cook!

I have been so fortunate since starting this website nearly 2 years ago.

It has grown by leaps and bounds and that is all because of you.

There are over 30,000 Country Cook friends on Pinterest and over 25,000 friends on The Country Cook Facebook page!

You, dear sweet reader, take the time to share my recipes with your friends.

You share my facebook page, pinterest page and twitter feed.

You bring more and more people to this site every day.

And for that I am so thankful.

It helps to keep this website and me going when people keep coming here and sharing.

So, to say thank you, for continuing to "share" and "pin" and "like", it's my turn to give back.

I got together with a very dear friend of mine, Jill, to create a really special gift for our Country Cook friends.

Jill is a master soap crafter for Blue Moon Bubbles (her Etsy shop).

If you've got an idea for a special soap or scent, chances are Jill can create it for you.

She has branched out into solid perfumes and body butters - even scented lip balm.

She is so talented and I've tried some of her soaps so I know you are just going to love what she has put together for our giveaway.

This gift set was designed just for this celebration.

It comes with all our favorite food-inspired scents like Sugar Cookie, Vanilla Bean and Mint!

Here's what's included:

Sugar Cookie Solid Perfume - 2 oz. 
Vanilla Bean Caramel Body Butter - 4 oz.
Sparkling Snowflake Soap in Jack Frost - 4 oz.
Fresh Mint Lip Balm (not pictured)

AND - Jill, is going to put all of this beautiful-ness into a gorgeous holiday box, ready for gift

 giving! (or for keeping for yourself! - we'll never tell!)
