Did you know that Creative Gourmet, the company who make the frozen blueberries and raspberries that I have on my porridge (yes, even in summer) had a competition to win a Kitchenaid mixer?
I entered that competition. AND I WON.
I mean WTF!?!? That NEVER happens!! And a Kitchenaid Mixer of ALL THINGS! That's one of those prizes that you actually WANT, but would never buy for yourself and would maybe get as a wedding present or something.
One minute I was sitting on the couch SMS-ing the code from the inside of the box to enter the competition. One second later I got a "congratulations" message back and could hardly believe my eyes. The next minute I was all over twitter telling everyone the good news ;)
I even got to choose the colour.
Now to actually make time to do some baking!!
(I hope I haven't used up all my good luck)

Oh that is so gorgeous. Great choice on the colour. Congratulations, nothing beats winning a prize and getting free stuff.
That is the exact mixer I want in the exact color. I'm crazy jealous!
Yay for winning things!! that has to be one of the best feelings in the world...especially when it's something you want.
I must admit though...my main reason for piping in is to tell you that i am highly jealous of your beautiful window box and even more jealous of the abundance of cilantro coming out of it. Yumm.
I am so jealous! I love that one!
Good work.
hehe...go YOU!
Winning something is the best - actually the BEST is when it's something as awesome as a Kitchenaid. Sooo jealous!! Congrats.
What a score! I never enter those competitions as like you said ~ I never win anyway. But I guess you have to be in it to win it! LOVE the colour :)
Congratulations - what a brilliant prize! Love the colour you chose too.
Don't go mixing any ink in it. ;-)
That is so cool! Congratulations! :)
Awesome! Yay you! Can I come mix things at your place?!? :)
That is really, really good luck!
What a fantastic prize. And I love the colour you chose.
Wow, that is so cool, I have had one of those on my wish list for about 10 years! Well done!
Well done! And your prize is so stunningly beautiful too!
Whoa, that's just too good!! I'm impressed and a bit envious at the same time... :D
COngratulations! I'm a sucker for KitchenAid mixers!!
Hehehe, thanks everyone!!
Linnea - the window box is from these guys:

They were $30 each and handmade by a lovely husband and wife team :)
omg congrats! MAJOR score - so jealous!
Congratulations! Great choice of colour!
I never thought anybody won those competitions either until I won a $1,000 Coles gift card just before Christmas one year. That was awesome.
Well done!
Oh my gosh - how exciting!!!
We are lucky enough to have one in red (it was an engagement pressie) and it is awesome, we use it all the time..
Happy cooking :)
Amazing luck! Congratulations. More importantly, however, you have inspired me to make my own herb box for the kitchen.
So amazing! And you picked a great colour!!
I LOVE hearing about lovely things like that happening. It looks dreamy in your kitchen.
WOW! I'm feeling a fit of covetousness coming on now... ;)
So very jealous right now!
That's fantastic! I love my Kitchen Aids. Yes, that's a plural. I have the same one you have, in white, that my husband/then boyfriend got me as a gift, ten years ago. Love it! A few years back I realized I needed a bigger one, for Thanksgiving. I was planning to sell the first, but I just couldn't. So, now I have two. And am coveting the 75th edition candy apple red one. :O)
You'll have it forever. That's awesome.
..............mixer envy!!! That will last for years, and will make you smile everytime you remember you won it!! BTW, entered a couple of times myself so........double mixer envy!! Enjoy.
That is awesome. Congrats. I entered too but sadly, didn't win!
im so jealous lol congrats :D
Holy moly! That is such a great win - congratulations! I also think great colour choice too.
this is amazing...i am so happy for you and the colour is just great...
Congratulations! That must be a surreal experience. I also have that mentally when it comes to those promos and contests. Are those measuring cups on the side? So cute!
WoooHoooo! Am I jealous!!! Just what I would have chosen too. (Lucky girl!)
It's sooo beautiful!
wow congrats! awesome!
for most people a kitchen aid will make it to their 'wedding gift' list ;) and you have one... totally awesome!
Well done. Great colour, I have the basic charcoal one( they didn't have such colours way back) and absolutely love it.
I LoVE the Kitchen Aid, I have got one in red! Congrats! The color is really great.
ohh that is the most exciting thing to win!!
Oh, I WISH!! I NEVER win stuff like that. Last Easter I went in a similar comp where they were giving away a Sunbeam mixmaster once a week to 10 people for 4 weeks...I was so sure I could be one of the 40. But I wasn't. Lucky girl.
Congratulations on winning! Great choice in color! I have a vintage white Kitchenaid, and have been so content with it- but seeing the color of yours makes me want to splurge on one :/
Wow, that's great! I have started entering the competitions that appear in Country Living magazine, which I have a subscription to. You never know with postal votes though!
Lovely colour.
OMG you're right, that sort of thing only ever happens to other people. Lucky you!!!
Wow! So cool! She's a beauty.
I've been wanting one for a while now. I think it will be on this year's Christmas list. (or birthday!)
i never even thought it happened to other people i thought they just made up names of the winners.wow.time to find me something to enter.
Ahh, you've just inspired me to start entering competitions right now! I've been a huge fan of your site from the beginning....whenever I need a moment of inspiration I know that popping over to your blog will do the trick and then some! You truly have been an inspiration to me.
Hooray! that is very good news!
congratulations, what a great prize!
: )
no way! my 13yo son spotted the comp too...he knows how i lust after this mixer. we entered but no luck for us...good for you though. i though i'd choose white but loving this colour too.

L A R A....they cost a Fortune!!!!! Congratulations!!!
Who would've thought you'd get so many comments due to a KitchenAid mixer?! ;)
But they are definitely a coveted thing to have. We bought one using wedding gift money. They are definitely worth every cent.. tough, good looking and I suppose a bit of a luxury kitchen item too.
I won a BBQ worth two grand in an SMS comp about 4 years ago.... and we've only JUST been able to take it out of the box because we never had anywhere for it to go! But who spends that much on a BBQ anyway?! :)
Oh yay!!! Congratulations! I love love love my kitchenaid... happy baking to you :)
Oh wow, congratulations! I tried to ente that competition online, and it wouldn't let me- should have sms'd!
and it has such a nice colour! Love the style!
Hurrah!!! way to go lady!!
I have the pale pink one .. I love it .. serious eye candy ..these!!
Awesome! Congrats!!! How exciting!
Lovely work framing your prints too! I would love to know how you did it! xo
Yay! Good work! All these good things are flowing to you... You must be on the right track. MMMmm Hhmmm
Just make sure it isn't set to 1 when you plug it in and as a further precaution remember to take all the attachments out of the bowl in case it is set to 1 and you plug it in and unwittingly turn the switch on at the wall then watch in horror as it commences the 'planetary mixing action' with all the other metal attachments still in the bowl. Yep, that's what I did to mine the very first time I used it!!@@##$%!! Lovely colour choice :)
awww, congrats! free stuff is the best :)
and gorgeous colour too!
wow! yeah, i always thought that no-one *actually* won those prizes!
but you are living proof...so now i'm gonna start entering more comps!
thanks!
oh my gosh! congrats<3 i love the colour!
Wow! Beautiful. Great colour choice.
You deserve it. Enjoy!
That is so cool and I am so jealous. I have an old Kenwood Mixmaster that my Mother brought second hand when I was a child. I use it all the time and it works perfectly. Hope this little beauty lasts at least 30 years too.
oh Congrats!!! That is awesome, now make sure you use it!!!! I want to see baking photos to come :-)
Sweet!!
Lucky you. Please tell me where you purchased the geese measuring cups oh they are
beautiful. Lesley
Oh my goodness! My grandma gave me those swan measuring cups and they are my absolute fav!!!
Wauw, love the colour.
