*Updated with winner* My first giveaway ever!

And the winner is... Blueberries & Peanut Butter!

Here are your random numbers:

19 

Timestamp: 2008-08-02 04:00:45 UTC



I've had so much fun entering these contests! The laundry may be piled up, and the sink may be full of dishes, but this comes only once a quarter and just lasts a couple of days. I got an email earlier that I won one of the prizes and I'm so excited! Details later on what it is.

I'm thinking of doing a monthly giveaway. It'll be something small, of course--I'm not rich and famous, and it may even end up being bi-monthly. I wasn't expecting 129 comments! My idea is to give away something I make myself or a vintage treasure I find while yard-saling and flea-marketing. I find lots of good stuff, namely jewelry and accessories. But if I do that, you all have to enter or it'll hurt my feelings. Even those of you who normally just "lurk" and never comment! We are going to yard sales tomorrow so we'll see what I can come up with.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



I had been thinking of having a giveaway for a few days when I realized Bloggy Giveaways was just about to host the quarterly Bloggy Giveaways Carnival! Fate!

Here is what I'm giving away:


















It's a hot pink Braggables purse which holds a picture of your sweet baby (or teenager, cat, or dog--whomever you'd prefer)! It's easy to change the picture when you get a new one.

To win, just leave a comment and include an email address.

Please also note:


1) U.S. addresses only please. I'm not being a snob, I just can't afford to ship it out of the country!

2) You don't have to be a blogger to win, but please leave an email address whether you blog or not so I can contact you if your name is drawn! You may want to type it as somebody (at) somewhere .com to discourage spammers.

3) The contest will end at midnight August 1st and I will select the winner randomly. I'll email the winner (and post here) and if she has not responded with shipping information within four business days I will pick someone else.

4) Duplicate entries will be disqualified--you know, the usual stuff.

Yay! I'm excited!

This is really a cute idea. If I win it the only problem will be whether to give it away as I'm planning to do, or to keep it for myself! :)

I love the bag, I'd keep it for me and it would display a photo of an exceptionally cute little toddler.
