Today’s give-away is Joen Wolfrom’s spiffy 3-in-1 Color Tool. This is a color-planning tool that helps you choose great combinations – based on the Ives color wheel for accuracy and perfect color matching. There are 24 color cards with hundreds of color swatches, plus two value finders (red and green) that help you determine value and contrast. My friend Nancy G. Cook reviewed The 3-in-1 Color Tool on her blog if you want to know more about it.
Joen now has a new version of this tool called the Ultimate 3-in-1 Color Tool (Updated 3rd edition), so you get some idea of how wonderful – and popular – this tool is.

Sausage bread! Only time during the year that I make it - that and sweet and sour rolls....all because I made a mistake on a recipe years ago!
ReplyDeleteMy husband grew up eating snickerdoodles at Christmas time. His Mother gave me the recipe and I now make them for our family.
ReplyDeleteLOVE Joen's books and can't wait to read the newest one. the color tool would be such a huge help to have handy. my favorite cookie is oatmeal cranberry, and i love making them this time of the year.
ReplyDeleteOh, that has to be homemade bread, the smell even before you eat it is incredible!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that choosing colors is not a strength for me. This would be extremely helpful
ReplyDeleteI love to make my Christmas trifle - lots of chocolate and whipped cream!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fantastic color tool, semething I need help with. I like to bake "monkey bread", all the cinnamony goodness!
ReplyDeleteWe love mince pies at our house so I'm making them throughout December!
ReplyDeleteBy the way what's 'snickerdoodles' and 'monkey bread'?
Tommorow is the celebration of "Sinterklaas" in Holland and Belguim. So today I baked "speculaas" (spices cookies) for the children. This evening the children get presents from Sinterklaas!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love to get the colortool for present!
I look forward to your classes in Naples, FL this spring. I have many favorites for holidays, English Plum Pudding being an old family favorite.

ReplyDeleteFor years my favorite recipe to make at Christmas time was Stollen which we would have on Christmas morning with hot chocolate. Now the only thing I make is pumpkin squares. Having pumpkin pie at Christmas is traditional in our house and making the pumpkin in squares means I don't even have to make pie crust.
ReplyDeleteFavorite thing to bake for the holidays is sugar cookies with my girlfriend and her 2 little girls. It's freedom of expression time.

I love to bake cinnamon rolls for breakfast when my whole family is here for our Christmas celebration.
ReplyDeleteMy M-I-L always made wonderful Millionaires (caramel and pecans dunked in chocolate). She has decided to not cook this year, so guess it will be up to me!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have an old version of this tool and would love to win the new one!
ReplyDeleteI will take time out from baking and icing this years sugar cookies to see if I should be lucky enough to win. Thanks for the chance and Merry Christmas...
Finnish coffee bread called pulla. It's flavoured with cardamom and makes the house smell so good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win the "3-in1 Color Tool."
On Christmas Eve I make a Swedish yeast bread with an almond paste filling. It is divine! I always make at least 3 or 4 small ones to distribute to neighbors for enjoying on Christmas morning. As a quilter and artist "The 3 in 1 color tool" would be an amazing aide to my creative endeavors.
ReplyDeleteWhen my kids were younger, we used to bake plain white sugar cookies using cookie cutter in shapes of Chanukah symbols. Actually, now it's time to start doing that with my grandchildren!
ReplyDeleteI've baked a biscotti recipe for years- half with anise seeds, half without.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to bake is apple pie, but I rarely get to do that. I challenge myself each year, however, to try another fruitcake recipe. I WILL find an excellent fruitcake recipe that uses mincemeat.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Thank you for the opportunity. I always make raspberry coconut bars at Christmas (and only at Christmas, because they are impossible to resist!).
ReplyDeleteDate nut bread!
ReplyDeletePeppernuts....and shortbread in a special stoneware shortbread pan. thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteOh Turkey..it just seems to keep on giving and giving.. YUMMMMMY~
ReplyDeleteAny kind of Christmas cookies with my sisters. This is our yearly tradition.
ReplyDeleteJoen's books are fantastic and I think her color tool would be a great help when I'm undecided about a color/fabric.

ReplyDeleteI love to make walnut shortbread for the Holidays. My kids like a no bake cookie, peanut butter balls.
Not sure I have a favorite thing! Gingersnaps, I suppose. I'd love to win this. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have an "Orange Blossom" cookie recipe my mom, sisters and I made growing up (Dad enjoyed eating them!) that mom found in a magazine. We all still make them every year at Christmas! It brings back a lot of memories, plus they taste great!
ReplyDeleteSanta's Raisin Cookies because they were my son's favorites when he was growing up -- and the recipe makes dozens!
ReplyDeleteI make Pumpkin bread that My Mother in law taught me to make. It is baked in a 1# coffee can, which are becoming hard to get. The new ones are cardboard.
ReplyDeleteI use it as a chance to get chocolate chip cookies in since i'm the only one that likes them.
ReplyDeleteI like to assist my mother with baking pecan pies. We are also baking Christmas cookies with the my grandnieces. As I am color challenged, this tool would be so very helpful.
ReplyDeleteOh, me please! Thanks for the giveaway Susan! My favourite Christmas goodies is Chocolate Peanut Butter balls. Alas, we found out my youngest is allergic to peanuts so no more peanut butter balls for us...until he leaves home anyway. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love to make cream burlee .
ReplyDeleteI would like to win a color tool, this would be helpful.
My favorite thing to bake is our family's Spice Cookies. Cinnamon, Nutmeg and cloves..yummy! This tool looks great.
ReplyDeleteI actually have several things. But it wouldn't be Christmas without two family traditions. Vanocka is a Czech Christmas bread that came from my dad's side. And Date Nut bread came from my mom's side. I get in trouble if I don't make enough of these breads for the entire family!
ReplyDeleteIt's not Christmas until I make my mom's cheesecake and her wedding cake cookies!
ReplyDeleteBiscuits and gravy on Christmas morning... one of those family traditions!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! I almost missed this one!
ReplyDeleteI am sure that having this would help in so many ways.
My favorite cookie is sugar cookies! I love them frozen.
Gingerbread cookies from my Grandma's recipe. She was an amazing cook, but didn't go by a written recipe so it was a challenge to reproduce her great baking. Thanks for the fun memories! Kd
ReplyDeleteWe bake oatmeal M&M cookies. Yum!

I LOVE baking pumpkin rolls! They turn out looking a little complicated but also gorgeous...they aren't complicated at all but gorgeous and delicious, too!
ReplyDeleteI really, really need this tool! I wish I could see colors like you do. I just love your work. I started experimenting with art quilts a year ago. So little time. So much to learn!
ReplyDeleteWe have a treat we call 'crack' corn that we only make during the holidays. It is basically caramel corn but it is so good, you cannot stop eating it. I like to add pecans to some batches and sometimes I add cayenne pepper (just a tiny bit) to add a little warmth. Most people don't know what the 'extra' ingredient is but they always ask for our caramel as a Christmas gift.
ReplyDeleteMy great grandma's cornflake cookies or my best freind's fudge...or both!
ReplyDeleteI HAVE to make the traditional Christmas Fruit Mince with suet and alchohol recipe every year. It goes into the fridge to mature for 12 months. I make the mince pies with last years mixture!
ReplyDeleteI would say pecan pie and fudge--yum-
ReplyDeleteDark chocolate Ginger cookies, look foreward to them every year!
