If this is your first time here, welcome to the Vikings' Hus!
I'm Beth and this is where I try to find some sanity (or show off our insanity) before the bloggy world. I'm a 40-year-old Christian SAHM trying out homeschooling for the first time with my 4 year old "Flicka" with my 2 year old "Pojke" tagging along.
I'm married to DaHubby (who is a proud Yooper) and we now live in SW Michigan. Prior to this family life, I lived all over SE Michigan and the Thumb area working in one of my three careers: video/TV production, law enforcement (don't ask! LOL), and teaching.
For now, we're all about homeschooling, frugal living, Dave Ramsey, church, and helping DaHubby through a full-time college program to start a new career while he continues to workhis current full-time job which supports this household.
With the introductions out of the way, let's get to the good stuff:
My giveaway is a small one. The last few years, I've been learning all sorts of new stuff about cooking. While I can now whip up several good-tastin' frugal meals, I've never really improved my baking skills much. LOL I just don't find it as rewarding plus we really don't need the extra sweets around here! *wink*
So, while I loved receiving this gift, I just haven't used it. But, for one of you who might be a proficient pie baker, it could be a wonderful thing. I'm giving away a brand-new, in-box pie bird.
For a history of a pie bird, check here. And, if you are interested in winning this cute little gadget, just leave your name and contact info in the comments. US addresses only please.

ReplyDeleteOh how cool! And I loved getting to know a bit about you in your intro! (and a giggle at "DaHubby"...puts me in mind of an older SNL skit but for a totally different team *wink*)
ReplyDeleteMy Mamaw (who raised me) had a pie bird!!! I had completely forgotten about it until I read this post! Hers was not as "ornate" as yours, in fact it was actually barely recognizable as a bird, but I do remember that is what it was called! Thank you so much for the chance to win! I will be back after the bloggy carnival to read your blog, I am already loving it! thanks again!
So cute! I actually have an older pie bird that was handed down from my grandmother but I don't use it because I'm afraid I'll ruin it. Thanks for the chance to win your great giveaway!

I had no idea what a pie bird was, and then I asked my Mom. She had some kind of an idea, but not fully. We checked out the history and now we're hooked!! I might have to find one to give as a gift!

i collect birds and i woud LOVE to win!
ReplyDeleteI'd neaver heard of a pie bird until I came across this giveaway, but it is such a great tool. It would come in handy for the apple pie I make for Thanksgiving and Christmas every year. They always bubble over so I put my cookie sheet under the pie to catch it and now that is all stained :(
