GIVEAWAY!!!
GIVEAWAY!!!
Yes my friends, the time has finally come. I can’t believe it.
1000 posts!
Some of you have been with me since close to the beginning. Like Donna, Patti, Lisa, Kristi, Erica, Lisa J., Kathy C., and probably some of you who read through your email that I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting. But I want to thank you ALL for stopping by even if only for one post. If you ever left a comment you left an imprint on my heart and I thank you!
Okay enough sappiness! We have a giveaway to get to here.
Let’s look at what I will be giving away and then we’ll get to the technical stuff.
First off we have this lovely doorknob pillow (Though you don’t have to actually hang it on a doorknob. Hang it where ever you want.), that my BFF Kathy made. It would look so cute hanging up in your home.
Next up we have a beautiful pair of earrings that my lovely daughter is donating to my giveaway. She has recently opened her own Etsy shop and is selling them there. She has several colors to choose from and you get to pick the color you would like to receive if you win. Check them out.
Another generous Etsy store owner Rachel, is donating one of her fun items. It’s a Pumpkin Pie Lip Balm. She has so many other yummy lip balms to choose from and at a great price. If you get a chance you can check out her shop at Lip Love. They’d make great stocking stuffers.
(Note: this is for one lip balm not three)
But wait, there’s more.
I am giving away extra copies of these books that I have and love. (They aren’t brand new but still in great shape.) If you want some more ideas about being frugal then these are the books for you.
And last but certainly not least, I am giving away a $5.00 Starbuck’s Gift Card to one lucky winner.
Okay, now for the “technical” stuff. I want to give you plenty of opportunities to win so read carefully.
Entry Rules:
1. Just leave a comment telling me how you stumbled across my blog and what keeps you coming back? If you can remember. LOL!
2. In another comment tell me the top 3 prizes you would like to win.
3. If you leave a comment on any upcoming post between now and the end of the giveaway, those will be counted as entries as well.
4. If you following me through email, just reply to this post and you’ll be entered.
5. For my Homesteader’s Heart FB friends, I will have a separate “Giveaway Status” for you to comment on to enter as well. I don’t want to leave anyone out.
You’re name will go in a hat for each entry you participate in and a name will be drawn for each individual prize. So the more entries you have the better your chance to win multiple prizes.
Now for the fine print.
Unfortunately I have to limit this to the U.S. and Cananda. Giveaway will end a week from today on November 14th @6:00am EST.
I hope you’re as excited about this as I am. And thank you to all who donated items to be given away.
HAVE A BLESSED DAY MY FRIENDS!

I think we met in the blogosphere as a result of the photo challenges! Didn't you enter at one time? Or somebody you knew did. I can't quite recall. But we got acquainted somewhere in mid-2008. I've been a fan and friend for a l-o-n-g time!
