Cafecito print – a winner.

August 9, 2010 By Marta Darby 3 Comments

Wow.

I had no idea so many of you MBFCF readers were such coffee snobs! (I mean that in the best way possible, of course.)

Seriously, go back and read the comments on the Of Jedi and Cafecitos post. You'll be blown away by the many ways there are to "do" coffee. 

You know I could only choose one winner which always makes me a little sad. For those of you that didn't win, remember that that beautiful print is available from Lehigh Valley Shutterbug with a discount through the end of August.

Cafe print & me

Remember: Anyone who places an order and mentions My Big, Fat, Cuban Family
gets 20% off through August. Coupon code is E8FD4B6E (must be entered to
get discount).

There is a separate code for the 20% discount for greeting and note cards. Use E942AF61

So, I chose the winner as follows: I entered the number of entries (not the number of comments because some of you posted more than once and you know who you are, but that's not important right now) into the Random Number Generator at Random.org and got a winner.

Without further ado….

The winner of the fabulous Cafecito print is:

I
need coffee round 2.. (like i could use a cup now) but i wait til
around 8:30pm to share a cup with my husband after the kids go to bed.
He goes right to sleep and i stay awake til 11pm wake up at 5:30.. which
is why i feel the need for 2pm coffee!! I like it with cream no sugar
and a piece of pan dulce. but i think i'd do turkish coffee all day if i
could get hands on it. i know i know it has sugar in it but it's the
spice that gets me =)

**************************************************

Congratulations, Aida!

Please send me an email with your snail mail address and HI MARTA, I WON STUFF ON YOUR BLOG in the subject line, so I can forward it to Claudia and she can get that print to you right away. Actually, I think I'm going to get some of those notecards for myself, but that's not important right now, either.

Thanks, everyone for playing and Claudia for such a fun giveaway. 

Claudia wrote a beautifully effusive post about me and MBFCF here. (Made me cry. I know. Shut up.)

We're on vacation this week at the beach in San Diego, which just means I'm having my coffee…

…somewhere else. =D

    Congratulations Aida, I hope the print will look great in your kitchen!Marta, what a fun time we had over here laughing over the posts- so many variations of coffee! And sorry I made you cry but now we’re even! 🙂
    Thanks for organizing this and to your readers for your kind comments and for sharing some of your cafe-related “cubanía” with me.
    Thanks also to those of you who have placed orders over the weekend for the print and notecards.
    un abrazo a todos,
    Claudia

Where in the world is My Big Fat Cuban Family Mart Where in the world is My Big Fat Cuban Family Marta? 🌎 👀I’ve been so super obviously absent from all my socials, let alone my blog itself.
For a while there, I was overwhelmed by the once easy task of documenting my day-to-day life.Everywhere I looked, people moved on to high production video and I was hopelessly lost, so I put writing on the shelf and happily got caught up on all the seasons I’ve missed from the Great British Baking Show.But then, as I often say, “life is in session,” and my life was accumulating entire chapters before I could even type, “Oh, the Cubanity!”Which brings us to today. I’m starting to dip my toe back into writing online. Mostly, I miss the writing and telling about my extraordinarily ordinary life and the daily happenings at Casa de la Loma.So, tell me: Do you have any questions for me as I get back into the over-sharing of my days? 👀#mybigfatcubanfamily #belikemarta #callmewella #mbfcf
