Merry Christmas from Jamin!
It seems I rarely have time to read other peoples blogs these days. But when I do one that I consistently head too is Lizzie's over at A Dusty Frame. Lizzie is a homeschool Mom who is living through something most of us will never have to deal with. Her husband is incarcerated. Lizzie is amazing to me! She handles her difficulties with such honesty and faith in the Lord. I always find myself feeling so blessed by her attitude and wisdom!
So what does this have to do with "Merry Christmas from Jamin?" Lizzie has put together a recipe E-Book which she is selling over at her blog. Vision of Sugarplums A Collection of Christmas Cookery sounds just wonderful to me! Look at some of these YUMMY recipes she has included:
Gingerbread Waffles
Warm Cranberry Punch
Sweet Potato Casserole
Moravian Cookies
Toffee Squares
Epiphany Cake
Julgrot (Swedish Rice Pudding)
Triple Layer Brownies
Vintage Molasses Cake
Yeah, I got to Gingerbread Waffles and I was in love! LOL (Oh, and Toffee Squares, who would not love those???) Here is what Lizzie has to say about her E-Book:
Visions of Sugarplums contains 50 recipes–from old family favorites to international treats. It also includes charming quotations from classic books and authors as well as tips for Christmas and a few cooking helps. Visions of Sugarplums is a “Santa free” resource, but you’ll also enjoy it if Santa comes to your house.
As my gift to my readers I have purchased a copy of this delicious E-Book and I will be giving it away tomorrow in a random drawing. All you have to do to enter is....
1. Leave me a comment telling me what your favorite Christmas treat is and your email address.
2. Post the following on your blog:
Jamin is giving away a FREE copy of Vision of Sugarplums A Collection of Christmas Cookery on her blog. Click HERE for more information.
If you do not have a blog you can email the above statement to 5 people and cc me on it at jaminacema@earthlink.net
My goal is NOT to advertise my blog but to tell more people about Lizzie's lovely E-Book. I will be doing the drawing Friday 12/21 at 10:00 p.m. Pacific time. I want to make sure to allow plenty of time for any of you who don't win the Freebie to head over and order a copy for yourself!
Merry Christmas to all and GOOD LUCK!!!
Jamin
Update - When I told Lizzie I was doing this she gave me a second copy to give away for free! So I will be drawing 2 winners tomorrow! YEAH!!!
Here is some even better news! At the Biblical Womanhood blog she is offering 2 additional free E-Books if you buy Lizzie's E-Book through Saturday! (Let's Make a Memory from Cindy Rushton and Joyful, Joyful! from Seasons at Home Magazine) So head over to this link for all the details!
Please join me in this opportunity to bless another homeschool family this Christmas!
