SYRELL!

*fanfare*

Three cheers for Syrell! We’re so happy for you! Random.org chose Syrell’s entry on January 26th as the winning entry! Syrell – please contact us by email to FabFrugalFoodie[at]gmail[dot]com within 48 hours! We can’t wait to get this amazing work of kitchen art to you!!!

But because so many of you gave so many awesome frugal tips – some of which we’re featuring in our Fab Frugal Friday series (with all due credit) – we decided to give some honorable mention prizes to five prolific contributors.  Lauren Brennan, Kimberly, Frieda, Johanna, and Kerstin will all be receiving an autographed copy of Donna’s “French Toast” cookbook:

Congratulations to our runners-up! Please email us at FabFrugalFoodie [at] gmail [dot] com with your shipping address so we can send it off to you.

Thanks so much to ALL of you for participating! We look forward to more giveaways coming up in the future – no, we can’t give away a KitchenAid every time, but we have some other fun items coming out of the chute, we promise. STAY TUNED!
