The next few weeks for me are going to be insane. School ends on June 4th, and as the year wraps up, I'll probably get even worse at keeping up with blogs. Because I appreciate all of you so much, I've decided to have a giveaway to say thanks for stopping by! I'm grateful for your friendship and for the fact that you are still my friend even when I don't visit as often as we'd both like. This giveaway will end on my last day of school, June 4th, and I'll announce the winners shortly after that (via email, so I don't have yours already, chop!chop!)
Here's how it's going to work: At the bottom of my page, I always have a beautiful "quilt" made from buttons I've been collecting. (If you don't see yours, please let me know, and I will add it.) I invite you to click on one of these buttons and meet someone new! (That's someone whose blog you haven't been to before.) Leave a comment on the person's blog, telling them who sent you, let me know who you met, and I'll enter you win something. (No blog needed to win; just leave a comment saying who you met.)
Prize? How about PrizES? So far, I have...
*One brand-new Go-Girl (never been used, haha) If you don't know what a Go-Girl is, you MUST watch my demonstration video!!
*I have a bunch of new (within the last year or so) fiction hardcovers that have never been cracked open. I'll probably give away a couple at a time.
*I also have ONE Draeger Descendants Cookbook left. (This is a treasure, People, seriously.)
*A free photography print from Kristin, from either one of these links:
http://ttelroc.blogspot.com/
*A personalized birthday song from my mom to you!
*I'm sure I'll think of something else. I'll add more prizes if anyone wants to offer one up. (Plus, when I don't have a head full of snot, I'll be able to think straight and remember what else I have around here.)
(If you have a prize preference, you'll need to let me know that.)
That's it; make a new friend, tell them I sent you, let me know who you met, and you're in. Don't see anyone here you don't know already? Find someone new to send over here, then, but I'm pretty confident you'll find a potential friend here (I have a LOT of buttons!)
Okay, and if you're dying for extra entries, promote this giveaway in whatever ways you see fit (I trust you) for other entries (and leave each as a separate comment, too.) I'll be using the Random Generator thingy, so be sure to put a separate comment for each entry.
This giveaway will end at midnight on Friday, June 4th, and I'll announce the winners shortly after that.
Just for fun, I've included the buttons in this post, too. I'll be shifting them around regularly so that different ones are at the top. That said, do be a dear and take a gander at ones near the bottom, too, will you, please? Thanks. Have fun, and Good Luck!

Perfect giveaway...your mom singing happy birthday to winner! That is the best prize for us that Mom's can't sing and won't ! I need to figure out how to make a button so not techi.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI just went to meet Dee at Two of a kind working on a full house(she has a lot of followers so I followed too).
I do not see my button here..I know there is one for FF.
I hope your transition from the end of school to summer goes smoothly.

What a neat idea! I just sent you a photo via facebook message with mine -but it might be too large. Let me know -or you can maybe shrink it down to size as I don't know diddly about doing that!
ReplyDeletePeace!
So excited to see my button on your 'quilt'!! I met Gina at My Own Brand of Crazy.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool. I never noticed your buttons before and I am always looking for new blogs to read so I will check out all of them when I get a chance.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to send you the button for my blog as well. I actually made one just very recently, it's on the sidebar of my blog, I'm not sure how to send it to you besides that so maybe you could give me instructions or take it from there?
Things are hectic at my end too, so I know what you mean..You're so generous with this give-away, and I like your idea of meeting a new blogger. I visited Just a Thought blog..
ReplyDeleteI made myself a button when I redid my blog =) The code is in my sidebar... I tried to leave it as a comment but good old blogger doesn't think that's a nice plan and it won't let me!
ReplyDeleteI met the dad from Dad of Diva's! THANK YOU for sending me there! I have been back and forth and back and forth on a father's day craft we can make in scout, and he had plenty!!! Woo Hoo!!! Thank you do much Mrs 4444 this is a GREAT idea!

ReplyDeleteI visited all of them and subscribed and commented on quite a few :) Thanks for this opportunity to meet new bloggers.
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry haha, I just got your comment on my blog. I didn't actually mean to enter your giveaway (I wasn't sure if I was qualified as I"m not from the US and most are US only so I skipped reading the entry part)... I was just happy to find links to so many bloggers. I've only been blogging and reading blogs for a couple months now and am always looking for more haha.
