I never, never, never expected going into this - that a year later I would be even more excited about blogging than ever, that I would have "met" so many people I now consider my friends, or that I would be running to my computer to read about what you've all been up to.
Thank you to everyone that deemed my blog worth reading. Thanks to the new followers & bigger thanks to the people that followed me all the way back in the beginning. Old and new - you're all fabulous!! Your comments, links, suggestions, recipes, etc. are all so valuable to me. I get such a thrill when my phone "moos" an email alert. (Yes. My phone "moos" at me to alert me to a new email. I'm weird. You all knew that already. Moving on....)
Most of you know how fond I am of giveaways. Until I learn to trust the USPS again, I won't be compiling gifts on my own. However... I don't want to deprive you all of the giveaways that you deserve! These suckers are shipping directly from the vendor. :-) *Side note: USPS sent me a notice that they have two of my boxes shipped in October. The actual post office can't find them though. If you won an October giveaway and didn't get your prizes, email me!! We'll find a replacement prize. *
Prize 1: A glass globe of your choice from Uncommon Goods. I absolutely adore this website for all their fantastic gifts and..well...uncommon goods.
Prize 2: Folded notes and address stamper of your choice at Expressionery.com. As much as our lives are very much online these days, I was still taught that nothing can beat a hand-written note. I love to check the mail and see a written correspondence.
Prize 3: A $25 gift certificate and bookmark of your choice from Barnes & Noble. As much as I love to read - I couldn't leave something book related off my list. :-)
Here are the rules:
You get ONE entry for commenting on this post.
You get ONE entry for following my blog.
You get ONE entry for following me on Twitter.
You get ONE entry for Tweeting about my giveaway.
You get ONE entry for blogging about my giveaway or putting it on your sidebar.
You get ONE entry for telling me what your favorite book is.
Please tell me what to give you credit for; I want you all to get the right amount of entries.
Entries/comments need to be in by midnight EST on Sunday, March 7th and the winner will be announced on Monday the 8th.

Ok, sadly I was one of those October giveaway winners! I had forgotten all about it until now! So they actually let you know that they had the packages but now they can't find them! That is just so weird!

Okay, I blogged about it, and my favorite book... well, I can't pick, so I'll go with what I'm reading right now, which is The Pact by Jodi Picoult! (That's 4 entries for me) And I don't have twitter, so I give up on the other 2 points. =] I'm going to try to do my own giveaway by the end of this week, if I stop getting homework piled on me!

Congratulations to you on your Blogoversary!! I just started in November and am having so much fun. I hope that you get a chance to stop over and say hello. I would look forward to meeting you. Now for your give away. I am a new follower, I am leaving a comment on this post, I have mentioned your giveaway on my blog, and have also posted your Tuesdays at the Table button on my sidebar. My favorite book, to be honest it is cookbooks that do more than just show recipes. The ones that talk about the events and show photos of when and where the recipes are used. Thanks for doing the party and thanks for doing the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogoversary!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book is Little Women
I really enjoy participating in your weekly event each Tuesday (for the last 2 weeks)!
