Beauty Pie, (throw-back from one of our early dinners)!

Yes folks, we have a winner, & we also have a special surprise. My very single (& therefore very appreciative of “lady luck”) charming, sweet ole business partner Craig, suggested we select not only a first place winner, but also a second place winner as a surprise!!! (Did Craig jinx the dear, sweet men-folk who entered)? Me hopes not! If his “vibes” of spoiling women (he’s always giving out free samples on his route, he’s nothing short of a big flirt) in any way affected the outcome I worked hard to make a random, I certainly do not want the bad-karma gods looking at me! I was fastidious about keeping the competition as fair as possible, as I know many of the Blog readers personally (NOT that most of my friends entered comments for the giveaway at all, you know who you are!! Gripes coming later:)…but anyway…so Craig was feeling generous, and thought we should start the new blog off w/a blast by choosing 2 winners, not just one! Each person was assigned a number in order of when they posted. Multiple posts, equaled multiple numbers (i.e. twitter +1, facebook etc.). Then we used a randomized computer program to select a number (name) and voila! The 1st place winner is:

KELLIE from California!!

Remember Ms. Thang? She had loads of great ideas, from using Palm Leaf disposable dinnerware, to compostable garbage bags (DEFINITELY checking into this!, thank you) to potted plants as centerpieces…

That’s two hand-made vegan cheesecakes for you, dahling!!

A-N-D our second-place winner,….(drum roll)

MARIAN, also from the great state of Cali!

She suggested vegan Malaysian/Indian food served on Banana Leaves, evites vs. mailed invitations (I wish!) , recycled wedding fares found on Craigslist, ETC.!!

You win a pie!!

I will be emailing each of you idea geniuses directly to get the address where you would like to have the cakes shipped, instructions for using the shopping cart, the flavors available, etc. !!

Thank you ALL for participating so much! Thank you for your sweet, heart-felt ideas & kind wishes!! We will definitely keep you posted w/the progress (can you believe yes, I am STILL going through LOCATION FRUSTRATION, but that’s another post!) Love ya’…

Up next: Event color schemes & creative uses of wedding color!…
