{ I'm having a giveaway! }

I've been blogging for several years, and in the past, I have had a few giveaways for certain milestones...100, 200 posts, blog-o-versaries, etc.When we moved, back in March, I took a nearly 6 month hiatus from my blog. When I came back, I changed the name of my blog, changed the entire 'theme' of my blog, and was pleasantly surprised when I was welcomed back with open arms and enthusiasm!! Well, I missed my 300th post, AND my 2 year blog-o-versary.....SOOO, I have decided to have a "Just Because" giveaway as a huge Thank You to all of my new followers and all of the bloggers who have left such sweet comments on my posts day in - day out.



To make this giveaway special, I have decided that it is going to be a SURPRISE giveaway. I'm not going to tell you what's in it. Suffice it to say, I have been collecting pretty much daily...there are now 11 items set aside for the lucky winner, and I'm not through adding yet!!

All you have to do is leave me a comment on this post telling me how you found my blog (if you remember, that is. I know how easy it is to get 'lost' blog hopping!!) You don't need to become a 'follower', but you can if you want :-) If you post about the giveaway the get a second entry, and if you put my giveaway button on your sidebar, you get another one. Each entry MUST be a separate comment in order for the random number generator to work effectively!

This giveaway is open to ALL bloggers, regardless of which continent you live on! I'll ship anywhere :-)

You have until Halloween night, October 31st at midnight to sign-up. Please do! And tell all of your friends about it!!! I will pick a winner November 1st. I'm so excited to be doing this for all my old and new friends!

You can find my giveaway button on my sidebar complete with html for you to copy!

Lovies to you all!!!

  8. I found you because you were nice enough to leave me a comment. We use to live in Oregon, but we were in the Valley & couldn't take the rain anymore. Just looking at your blog for the first time, but it looks delightful. I'm a very new blogger but having a blast! Stop over any time.

  12. Now, doesn't that sound like a fun giveaway... I truly LOVE surprises, so this would be right up my alley.. :-)\

    I found your blog because you came to visit me... Nothing like a little teatime in Bloggyville!

    We didn't spend much time in Redmond... It was actually on our plan, but we came home two days early....that darn bed was soooo uncomfortable we couldn't handle it for one more night......so we missed our Redmond day. One of the KINDEST employees EVER helped me out at the Redmond Fred Meyer several years ago. I was QUITE impressed.

    Yep, darn parking police..... I'm hoping for at least a reduction. We'll see. Now that I've complained all over Bloggyville, that doesn't seem likely.

    Warm hugs,
    Spencer

  16. Came here through White Wednesday and actually my finicky computer won't let me make a post on that entry so I'll just make one here. (2 birds with one post, ha!) Your dream white house, is my dream house! A wrap around porch, sleeping porch (singing, I want that!), farm house (with some yard critters please), and Practical Magic is one of my favorite movies, what a cool house!
