			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For a soft-spoken gal with a powerful fear of public speaking, <strong>one thousand posts</strong> is a stunning, if not downright shocking, milestone. Who knew I had so much to say in the first place? Strung together in bits and pieces, wedged between questionable punctuation, and tucked around photos and recipes, it&#8217;s taken an unbelievable number of words to glue this little blog together. Ironically, I&#8217;m having trouble verbalizing what all of those words mean to me, and the fact that anyone would take the time to read them all.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7120/6950026060_bd39d7250e_z.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Can you feel the love?</em></p>
<p>That&#8217;s why, on this 1000th post, I want <strong>you</strong> to do the talking. Tell me about anything you&#8217;d like, be it about blogs in general, things you&#8217;ve enjoyed on this blog (Have you made my recipes? Tried my craft patterns? Call me a narcissist, but I <em>love</em> hearing about that!) or just what&#8217;s on your mind at the moment. Free choice! In exchange, I want to share with you my biggest giveaway yet&#8230;</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.littlegreenplane.com/" >email marketing</a> provider Little Green Plane has given me 6 x $25 <a href="http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;tag=bitte-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957" >Amazon.com</a> vouchers to give away. For those playing along at home, that&#8217;s a total of $150 up for grabs! Though you&#8217;re free to choose anything your heart desires, I might suggest that it&#8217;s the perfect amount to snag one of my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0979128617?tag=bitte-20&amp;camp=0&amp;creative=0&amp;linkCode=as1&amp;creativeASIN=0979128617&amp;adid=0B2EEK7PY23FHA9BQR6A&amp;">current</a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1616082208?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=bitte-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1616082208">cookbooks</a>, or pre-order <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1616087242/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=bitte-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1616087242">the latest</a> to complete your collection (I can dream, right?)</p>
<p>To reward all you faithful regulars, this will be a speed-round contest. It will run only through the weekend, until Midnight EST on Sunday, April 22nd, with the six (!) winners announced shortly thereafter. Just make sure you enter a valid email address so that I can get in touch, and do me the favor of only entering once per person. It makes it so much easier to determine the winners via the all-knowing <a href="http://random.org">random number generator</a>.</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-4175" title="veganbakesale-cupcakes" src="http://www.quarrygirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/veganbakesale-cupcakes-570x309.jpg" alt="veganbakesale cupcakes 570x309 FREE CUPCAKES! giveaway from vegan bake sale!" width="570" height="309" /></p>
<p>FREE. VEGAN. CUPCAKES. do i have your attention?</p>
<p>that&#8217;s right, you have a chance to win a whole box of delicious cruelty-free cupcakes. and these aren&#8217;t just any old vegan cupcakes&#8212;these are rich, decadent, sinful-tasting cupcakes made by <a href="http://theveganbakesale.com/home.html" ><strong>vegan bake sale</strong></a>. alix, the mastermind behind the los angeles-based baking company, has been kind enough to offer quarrygirl.com readers the chance to to win one dozen cupcakes by commenting on this blog post.</p>
<p>this is quite an amazing gift, because i have eaten loads of vegan bake sale cupcakes&#8230;and there is nothing vegan-tasting about them. as alix <a href="http://cuteanddelicious.com/2009/03/26/vegan-bake-sale/" >says</a> on <a href="http://cuteanddelicious.com/" >her blog</a>, &#8220;These aren’t the healthy, crunchy, cardboard vegan desserts you find at health food stores, they’re the decadent, delicious treats that could fool any non-vegan.&#8221; And, she&#8217;s right. I have fed her desserts to unsuspecting omnivores, who gave them tons of praise without even knowing they were vegan. heh heh heh.</p>
<p><strong>here&#8217;s what you need to do for a chance to win some of these lovely cupcakes:</strong><br />
1.) you must comment on this blog post with your favorite cupcake flavor.<br />
2.) you must leave your real, valid email address when you submit your comment. (the public won&#8217;t see this, just me&#8230;so i can contact you if you win!)<br />
3.) you must be in los angeles.</p>
<p>that&#8217;s it. super easy. <strong>the winner will be picked at random and announced on the morning of tuesday, september 22.</strong> they will receive one dozen free cupcakes from vegan bake sale, hopefully of their dream flavor. if you need some help thinking of your favorite flavor, check out <a href="http://theveganbakesale.com/menu.html" >vegan bake sale&#8217;s menu</a>.</p>
<p>i&#8217;ve tried several of vegan bake sale&#8217;s cupcakes, and  while i love them all, the one that haunts my dreams the most is pumpkin spice. the creamy spiced frosting atop moist fluffy cake invokes such warm fuzzy feelings of autumn&#8212;this one would be my first choice.</p>
<div id="attachment_4176" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 580px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4176" title="veganbakesale-pumpkin-spice" src="http://www.quarrygirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/veganbakesale-pumpkin-spice-570x613.jpg" alt="vegan bake sale pumpkin spice cupcake" width="570" height="613" /><p class="wp-caption-text">vegan bake sale pumpkin spice cupcake</p></div>
<p>and to those of you who don&#8217;t win, please don&#8217;t let that stop you from trying out some of vegan bake sale&#8217;s cupcakes anyway! they are some of the best vegan cupcakes around, and you won&#8217;t be sorry. plus, they are so damn pretty.</p>
