Father’s Day Man Cave Giveaway!

Post image for Father’s Day Man Cave Giveaway!

With Mother’s Day just passed, now we start thinking about our fathers,step-fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers and all those father figures in our lives. I love my father so very much and I try to make sure he knows that he means everything to me. My dad isn’t big on talking on the phone. In fact, most news and invites to family functions are transported via word of mouth through my step-mother. So, I take those card-giving occasions like birthdays and Father’s Day to give him an extra dose of, “I love you!” Making sure I put those emotions into words, onto paper so that even though I might not say it all the time, I make sure he knows it.

Father’s Day also means I have to opportunity to buy him a little something special. So why all this talk about Father’s Day when it’s still nearly a month away? I, along with a big group of talented bloggers decided to get together and do a giveaway as a way to celebrate dear old dad For this giveaway we’re giving away some cold hard cash! No, we aren’t giving away a man cave but if dad has one, you’re about to have funds to hook him up with a ton of swag for it.

You can enter for a chance to win either $200, $50 or $25 cash paid through PayPal. You can then take your winnings to buy your dad something special for the big day. Not one but THREE winners will be chosen! [click to continue…]

This was my first ever attempts and then I went to King Arthur Flour Blog & Bake™ and had the opportunity to make them again. The reason I’ve never made scones before is most likely because I’ve [...]
