~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~* WoOoOoHoOoOoO *~
The day is here!!!
Today is my 4th Blogoversary!!!
Yes, you read that right.....4th!!!
I started this little blog on November 2005, however, as I mentioned in a previous post, my blogging habits in 2006 and 2007 were spotty, at best. I really began blogging in earnest last year and have been going strong ever since. And it was only then that I put my heart and time in to this blog did I start to meet so many amazing people in the blog world!!! And I am so very thankful!!! Every day when I log on and read the comments you all leave on my posts my heart fills with gratitude! If you're lucky, you can find yourself part of an amazing community of people in this blog world. And I am one of the luckiest!
So, I want to share the love! I have been fortunate enough to win a few giveaways on blogs and have always wanted to do one myself. And what better reason to have a giveaway than to celebrate my blogoversary!!!
Wanna see what you can win?!?!
Check it out......
Since we are already in to November, which is, to me, the start of the holiday season and heading fast toward my most favorite magical holiday ... CHRISTMAS ... I thought what better than a Christmas-themed giveaway!!! It is a humble little gift but it is things I love!
The cookbook and recipe cards are from my favorite Gooseberry Patch! I am especially excited about the cookbook because some of the profits from the purchase of this book are going to Feeding America (formerly America's Second Harvest). I firmly believe that help should start at home so I am happy that by purchasing this book I can play a small part in helping those less fortunate right here in America!
The little Christmas plaque was picked up in a local gift shop. It almost has a bit of a vintage feel to it that I just love.
And.......you never know what other little surprise may end up in the package.......
So, how do you enter? Simple! Just leave me a comment on this post. I will leave this open for one week and will post the winner next Tuesday November 10. For one extra entry, just become a public follower of my blog and leave a separate comment stating that you did that. If you are already a public follower of my blog please leave a separate comment as well. Easy-peasy!
~* Good luck lovelies! *~
