Bloggers Unite for Africa GIVEAWAY!

Just a few months ago, a terrible famine was declared in the Horn of Africa, and as you read this, about 13 million people are slowly starving to death in Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Djibouti, and Uganda (many of them children). My friend Jackie, who writes the blog La Casa de Sweets, has done an incredible job organizing bloggers to unite to raise money to alleviate the effects of this terrible famine.

And now we're stepping up our efforts with a fabulous giveaway with prizes including cookbooks, bakeware, homemade treats, a $100 gift certificate to King Arthur Flour, and more! Please head over to Jackie's site to learn more about the crisis and to donate/enter our giveaway! You'll get an entry for every $10 you donate and lest you question the effectiveness of your donation, know that even $10 will provide a family of 5 with clean water and $100 will feed a family of 6 for several weeks. Every single donation will help make a difference!
