Sweet Friends, A Review & A Giveaway!

Yesterday morning, I had the special privilege of hosting a sweet group of ladies at a local park! I was so encouraged and blessed by each one who came! But, I'm getting ahead of myself ~

A month or so ago, I was contacted about doing a review for Icebox Bakery. After checking the store locater, I noticed there were no stores near me that sold their product. But, then thought how fun it would be to host a gathering while in Colorado for friends to try out the cookies and have fun visiting as well! I mentioned this idea to the company and they were happy to send me some free cookie coupons!

My little ladies had a great time making "angel" cookies out of the sugar cookie dough!

I'll tell you the things I loved about these cookies!
First of all, need I even ask - has anyone ever seen such cute packaging?!
I loved that from the very first! And, their website is an extension of cuteness!

I read through the ingredients and they were wonderful:
flour, sugar, butter, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla.
Real ingredients - love that they are all-natural!

And, they were super easy and tasty! My favorites were the Double Chocolate!
Mmmmm - a brownie in a cookie!
Look at all the delicious flavors they come in!

The next great thing about our morning, besides that we had all of these yummy cookies provided for us - was that a handful of sweet friends came to make the morning even sweeter! Since I'm in all of them, I'll introduce only my guests!

Liz - fun reconnecting and realizing we'd met before! I loved her hair and smile!

Rachel - we'd also met before, but only in passing so it was fun to get to know her a bit more!
I got to hold her sweet boy and was blessed by her gentle and quiet spirit and demeanor!

Rebecca - the friend I rode with to Albuquerque during my eHarmony days!
Very fun to reconnect with her, see her sweet children and observe her peaceful mothering!
It was a joy to be around her again!

Angie - we've been friends since early Elementary school! She always looks beautiful and the love of God shines through her! I am blessed with a great friend in her!

Amy - we used to work together at the Glen!
So fun to see you again - great job on your race training!
And, to see her sweet Isabelle was a treat - love the red curls!

A special thanks to each of you for carving out the time and making the effort to come!
I was so encouraged by the morning! And, we all had a great time!

And, can you get over all the cuteness of a child with a cookie?
Me either - here are a few enjoying their sweets:

Now, before you get to feeling all left out - let me invite you in on the fun!
Our friends at Icebox Bakery are allowing me to give away free cookies to three of you!

Just for fun, tell me your favorite kind of cookie and you'll be entered in the drawing to win!
Entries will be taken through Monday, July 5th - and a winner announced next week!
