Exciting News...

A few weeks ago I received the following email from Jess at Pillsbury:

Hi there, Debbie…
My name is Jess, and I’m the community manager for all of Pillsbury’s social media platforms. I feature a ton of blogger-created content – and one of our marketers passed along a link to your blog post about using leftover Cinnamon Rolls to make waffles. As it turns out, March 25th is National Waffle Day, and I’d love to make a collage out of your images, showing the progression from actual cinnamon roll on one day to waffles the next. Of course, I’ll mention your blog name and link back to your page. The content will run on Facebook, Twitter and I’ll also pin the collage to one of our Pinterest boards.
Let me know if this is something you’d be interested in!
Thanks!
Cheers,
Jess
 
ummmm...are you kidding me, YES!!
 
Here's the picture Pillsbury is Featuring on their Facebook page today.
 
Here's what they wrote:
 
Happy National Waffle Day, friends!
We love this idea from our friend at "It's All About Purple": Grands!
Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls one morning and waffles the next. 
 
Exciting stuff, you can view Pillsbury's Facebook Page here!
 
My orginal blog entry can be viewed here.
 
Those of you who know me, know I am...
"tickled pink" & "over the moon"!!
 
For me, this is just so exciting!!
Thanks Pillsbury, you really made my day!!
