Give Away : Everything Goes With Ice Cream




the new book by Koralee, from the pretty blog Bluebird Notes, my dear friend who lives on the other side of Canada. we met through blogging about 2 years ago, and have met real life once in 2011 just after I moved to Canada. she is the sweetest lady, such a darling, with great taste and style. and now all of that has come together in her beautiful book. yes, an actual book. isn't that great? fabulous? fantastic? it is a lovely colorful book, packed with delicious ice cream recipes that make you want an extra deep freezer, and craft ideas that make you want to have a party everyday.

you can probably imagine my excitement back in the Summer of 2011, when she approached me to be part of this book. of course I said yes, and of course I wrote up our family recipe for the chocolate cherry cream parfait that my mom usually makes when we are in Sweden. together with it I wrote up a little idea for a cupcake pompom garland as a cute and easy party addition.

and now the good news for you.
you can order this beautiful book online here and... I am allowed to give away 2 copies of the book!
your chance to win a copy: leave a comment to this post
of course you are very welcome to follow me here and like me there
please make sure you comment before March 21st
on March 22nd the random number generator will pick two winners

thank you very much Koralee for brightening our days and kitchens with your beautiful book! it's pure joy

    Dear Maaike,
    How are you? This book looks... Yum! I love ice cream and would really like a copy for myself. Congratulations on your contribution to the book. That is fantastic. I will write more another day... Responding to that email I received a hundred years ago. :D I am busy like always. Just a bit to busy for the moment. I've lost all control. It is time for a time management spring clean to get back on track. Beautiful pictures like always. You are such a talent.
