I just wanted to thank NePo Suet for sending me a big box of cakes in the mail yesterday.  The cakes are part of a popular suet cakes for logos exchange program that I am starting.  No, actually I felt the creative urge a few weekends ago and whipped up a logo for them and they were kind enough send me a box full of cakes as a token of their appreciation.  It sounds like things are getting busy for them.  Please be sure to check them out and order a few cakes for your self.

I am in the mood to pay it forward so I will send 1 cake to each of the first 3 people to comment on this blog post (US only, sorry).  Leave a love note below and I will contact you to get your address.  Thanks!
