Tis the Season for Gift Giving: Tastefully Simple Giveaway

Disclaimer:  I am a HUGE fan of Tastefully Simple products!  Are you?  Have you ever been to a Tastefully Simple party?  Tastefully Simple products are made to make your life in the kitchen easier.  Check out their website - they have dip mixes, soup mixes, dressings, bread mixes, snacks, appetizers, and more.  Tastefully Simple parties aren't your typical hostess parties -- because you get to actually try many of their products before purchasing!  At the party you sit around and taste items while the consultant tells you about them.   I have hosted countless Tastefully Simple parties, and I love having them.  For several reasons, top on the list of reasons would be the swag.  Every time I host a party I earn free items and discounted items.  And my guests get awesome tasty treats.  It's a win win.  And I don't have to put forth much effort into having the party -- I spend about an hour preparing food for the guests to taste.  My consultant - the fabulous Katie Parks - gives me all of the mixes I will need ahead of time, and then I purchase the ingredients to mix with them and dip in them (usually a short list of items like mayo, sour cream, chips, etc - mostly things I already have on hand).  And then the night of the party Katie does all of the work, and I relax and hang out with my guests.  I know this is starting to sound like a commercial, but it's just because I get so excited about these parties!   The prices aren't bad, the items make awesome gifts at the holidays, and the dip mixes are indispensible in my house around the holidays, because we go to so many parties, I want to have something easy to prepare on hand to take with me to serve at the parties.
So if you live in the Northern Kentucky/Greater Cincinnati area and you are interested in hosting a Tastefully Simple party let me suggest that you contact my consultant, Katie Parks.  She is very sweet, and easy-going.  At the parties she does not pressure your guests to purchase, she does not act like a used car salesperson pushing a sale.  She simply tells your guests all the great things about the products, and all of the great uses for each item. 
And as a generous holiday gift, she has given me two popular Tastefully Simple products to give away on the blog this week! 

Up for grabs I have a box of Beer Bread Mix (yummo! perfect for dipping) and a Warm the Oven dip mix (my favorite dip in the catalog!).

You have two chances to win! 
1.  Visit Katie's Tastefully Simple page and look at all of the cool products, then come back here and leave a comment telling me what your favorite product is.
2.  Share this contest any way you would like (twitter, facebook, email, etc) then leave a comment below telling me how you spread the word.

One winner will be chosen on Friday, December 3rd at 1pm using Random.org.  The winner will have 48 hours to respond or another winner will be chosen.  Be sure to leave your contact info!
