I love the kitchenaid mixer. I especially love all the attachments you can get for it.
Breast Cancer runs in the family. I feel fortunate to have the people in our nation who take this seriously and have literally helped to save many of my family members. I treasure each day I have with them. If I had this on my counter at home, every thing I made with it would make me smile because I would remember these sweet women in my life and that others treasure them as well as evidenced by their work to rid us of this horrible illness! Thanks for the opportunity to win!!
Every time I bake I think of my grandma, she taught me everything that I know.
What wonderful pink party ideas for such a great cause. What a fun idea. Pink BBQ.

Hi! Hej! (swedish)
I need a new stand mixer. Mine is not working properly and I love my Kitchen Aid. Cant afford to replace it.
This mixer would remind me of my aunt I lost to breast cancer many years ago. It would bring a smile to my face every time I used it. Loved her. Miss her dearly.
