You guys all know that I don't have advertising on my blog (partially laziness, and partially that I don't really want your visits to the site interrupted with endless ads that may or may not be interesting and/or relevant). And I don't normally do giveaways, because most of the possibilities tend to be for odd new products that I personally would never use. I don't really want to use my blog to sell other people's stuff.
BUT, there are a few products that I totally love, and when I'm lucky enough to hear from one of them, I need to pass on that love.
I've never made any secret about my love for my KitchenAid mixer. A stand mixer obviously isn't a necessity, but there are SO MANY recipes that are made infinitely easier through its use --> meringues, whipped cream, breads, swiss meringue buttercream, even mashed potatoes. I love mine; I posted my first ode to it just over five years ago and it's been serving me well ever since.

So when the folks at KitchenAid (or specifically at their PR firm) asked me if I wanted to give away a stand mixer to my readers....ummmmm...OBVIOUSLY I do.
So here's the deal, first, I've got to restrict this to Canadian residents (or people who know people with a Canadian address). I know I've got a lot of US readers, so I'll keep an eye out for something for you guys.
Now, what you have to do (and you'll see it below in the Rafflecopter widget), is first go to http://www.kitchenaidcolourology.ca/ - there, they have a quiz, so you can determine "your KitchenAid Colour Personality" (their words, not mine). After you do the quiz, you need to comment and let me know your "true colour." I got boysenberry, which is GORGEOUS (I really just want to be able to have all 26 colours because they are soooooo pretty). My stand mixer is Empire Red, which is also pretty. ;)
As a bonus entry, if you already like Definitely Not Martha on Facebook, or if you are willing to like DNM on FB, then you can have two chances.
Giveaway runs until 12:01 AM on October 9th./// This giveaway is now over. Thanks to all who entered!
a Rafflecopter giveaway
Good luck and I'm super excited to be able to do this! For the winner, Rafflecopter will have your email address, so I will email you once the winner is selected to get further information. And in theory, you will get to pick the colour as well!
*** Giveaway ended! Thanks so all who entered! ***
I got green apple.
ReplyDeleteI heard about your fabulous giveaway on your Facebook page. I'm so excited! I've always wanted a KitchenAid stand mixer; its sad that I have coveted my friend's mixer. Thankfully, she gives my partial custody. ;)
ReplyDeleteAccording to my quiz my colour is Onyx Black, my fave!
I got "Crystal Blue", but I think I prefer the reds!
ReplyDeleteExciting!! I have wanted one for years.
ReplyDeleteI got METALLIC CHROME.
I'm White! Funny, I expected that...
ReplyDeleteI got Caviar! The one I have at home right now is the same Red as you, Leslie. If I win, it's a gift for my mom! :)
ReplyDeleteButtercup! Can't beat the yellow.
ReplyDeleteI got Pistachio!! What a great contest! Love it!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI got Metallic Chrome, too! Classic - would fit well in my kitchen, and as much as I bake I've never gotten a stand mixer. Pick me! Pick me!
ReplyDeleteI heard about the giveaway on FB too, as I follow you there.
I am buttercup :)
ReplyDeleteI got Caviar! I like it, but if I were buying one, I think it would be Cobalt Blue!

ReplyDeleteI got Cobalt Blue. Such a gorgeous colour!
ReplyDeleteI got boysenberry too. It's gorgeous. I'd love to see that colour in my kitchen everyday!
ReplyDeleteMy KitchenAid color personality is Blue Willow. That sounds so peaceful... nothing like the tornado of flour and sugar that sweeps through my kitchen when I bake. I think the mess improves the taste though.
ReplyDeleteEmpire Red.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited! Heard about the contest on your FB page. Fun! I wanted one for years!!!
Pisatchio Green - I'm totally shocked, that's definitely not my colour!

ReplyDeleteI got "Buttercup" which is so perfectly me it's crazy!
ReplyDeleteI got buttercup. I think I'm having a particularly mellow day! Maybe I'm also still recovering from the amazingly decadent pumpkin-coconut tartlets. You never mentioned how dangerous those things are! I check your blog regluarly (and use it as a cookbook) and I've got you on FB too!
