It's taken me awhile to get to this post, see it's special, my 100th post!
And it's my turn to do a giveaway, because guess what? I won that photo contest! Thanks everyone, it's all because of you!
So, knowing me and my Polynesian style I can't win something without giving something away.
I've been a little lost in blog land this last month when there was this big huge bloggy carnival giveaway. Hundreds of blogs participated and I spent more hours than I care to admit entering blog giveaways. I DON'T suggest you do the same if you value your time, but if you have some spare time, here's a few of the websites I saved in my favorites to go back to later. Remember, I WARNED you!
Mom Giveaways
One Sweet Deal
The Funky Monkey
Feisty Frugal and Fabulous
Etsy Giveaways
So, was it worth it? Well, I DID win a $25 GC to TJ Maxx. I just went yesterday and picked up myself a new shirt and a new bra. WOOHOO! I threw that old nursing bra in the trash. Come on, really? I've been done nursing for over a year and I have't had time or $$ to go bra shopping, PLEASE! Well, I had no excuse yesterday, because the $$ was FREE!
Onto the giveaways! First I have to mention this fun giveaway that is still going on? Don't you just LOVE this wreath?
CLICK HERE TO SEE
Well, I DO! So, I say go enter, and if you win, you'll have the perfect gift to give me! LOL!
Enough about me, what am I giving away to YOU today?
Ready, here it is:
Oh wait, what? Did I just try to giveaway my last born? That would require that I have another, so let's not to do that!
So, here's the REAL DEAL:
I'm giving away this little 5x7 board book which I've already painted and added the papers to. You'll get the embellishments to help you decorate it after you've added in your own photos. Pretty sweet gift from an islandgirl, right?
The papers are some of my favorites from a company called The Little Yellow Bicycle. Perfect for beach pictures, or your favorite boy pictures. If you're one of my Archivers buddies you'll recognize this from the last time we cropped I was putting this together. Thanks Diana for helping me put the rings back on it, LOL!
So, what do you have to do to enter win this COOL book?
You know, one of my favorite things to do in the world is to READ. So share with me your top 5 favorite books EVER! That's all you have to do! If you have a hard time limiting it to 5, then feel free to share more! But you have to at least mention 5, HA HA HA! That's another favorite of mine, the number 5! And why I'm so happy to have 5 children and be done, :)
You have until Sunday, Feb. 15th to post a response. I'll draw a winner randomly on Monday. Remember, you can always post as anonymous (you don't have to have a blog to post), just make sure you give me your name and/or email in the comments or I won't have a way of reaching you to let you know you WON!!!! Unless you're my mother, then I know how to get a hold of you! Mom... hint,hint... I want to hear your answers!
