Giveaway Extravaganza

     Here is the giveaway folks . I am offering three separate prizes. Why?  Because blogging has given me the pleasure of writing and instant self-publishing at no cost. 

     What can top that? Good-hearted people who stop by and read .

Guidelines:

* To enter simply comment on this post.

*  To gain another entry, become a follower.

*  The winners will receive one of the 3 prizes assigned randomly.

I will announce the winners (there will be 3 because there are 3 prizes) Sunday evening after 8:00 pm CST.

Prize #1   Garden Apron and Kneeling Pad

giveaway (9)

Prize #2  $25 Barnes & Noble Gift Card

giveaway (4)

#3  Christmas Rug, Tea Towels, and Snowflake Cookie Cutters

giveaway (5)

Good Luck!

    Since I'm the first one, do I win a prize???
    That is really cool to do that. If I knew how to be a follower...I would...I am such a computer illiterate. I can't even get the profile thing to work...
    Wishing myself luck!!!!!

    Laura-I'm really hoping not many people notice the giveaway --just kidding. Count me twice please. I got a kick out of your moving story. I have been cleaning out my attic this week. Three kids, multiple dorms, apartments, houses, and monograms later--It was a little full!

    Jot down my name too! I come by just to read your great stories. You have a way with words.
    You are right we can publish ourselves for free just some (you) are better at it than others. I think teaching and public speaking makes for better communications skills.
    Great giveaway.
