This week's Friday Surprise Prize comes from Bake It Pretty! We featured Quinn's Animal Party this week and y'all went crazy for the giant polka-dot balloon and paper straws so Bake it Pretty is going to give one PB reader a humongous balloon (helium not included) and straws of their choosing. I'd pick this black&white combo. Just saying.

You know how it works, right? Leave a comment on any post this coming week and next Friday we pick our favorite!

Read more to find out who won the oliver + s pattern of their choice.


Fabricworm is here to give away an oliver + s pattern of the winner's choosing. Go check them out! 

The winner is Cristin who left a comment on today's Link Love:
I'll just be surviving! I will be lucky if i get this insane pile of clean laundry put away....they may have to call a search party for me :) . i can't figure out how we go through SO MANY CLOTHES!!!!
on a more happier, mother-y note...we're hoping to spend it w/ my parents at their home = mini roadtrip!

The daughter has been clamoring for weeks now for a polka dot birthday party. We still have 2 1/2 months to go. Winning this would get us off to a good start. (amberrows (@) yahoo (dot) com

After a rather exhausting week (a birthday party for my four year old along with a bunch of other stuff), I would definately appreciate some awesome party supplies. Plus, my youngest daughter is turning one in two weeks...and I haven't even gotten started on planning that. This would be way too good.

What a fabulous website- Bake It Pretty! I'm a bit bummed that I didn't discover this website BEFORE my daughter's first birthday theme of "Winter 'One'derland." Lots of fun snowflake/winter decorations! Oh, well, I guess you ladies can make it up to me by allowing me to win this prize! ;)

I'm planning my daughter's two-year birthday party and love all the stuff from Bake It Pretty. We'll definitely be ordering supplies from them, they're so much better than anything you can get at a party store. We're having an animal themed party too and will be using several of your ideas from Quinn's Party - thanks for the help, you made my planning MUCH easier!

Both of my kids LOVE balloons! We just did some major spring cleaning and found some pitiful balloons that had just a touch of air still in them and they wanted to play with them! I had to wait until nap time to put 'em in the trash (the balloons, not the kids) :) Needless to say we could use some new much more fabulous balloons! :)
