I ♥ My Readers Giveaway

Sunday, May 22, 2011

{This giveaway is now closed.}


It never fails to amaze me when I look over to the sidebar of this blog to find that someone new has signed on to be a reader. I almost always give out Barney Stinson high-fives even if there's no-one in the room with me. I also yell out, "Yessssssssssssssssssssss" in a really annoying way. (Just ask Alex and Roary.) Then I cross my fingers and hope you will stick around even though I have terrible grammar, paint everything white, and bake muffins for fun. Loser with a capital L. ;)

I am so very grateful for your kind and funny comments that you always seem to leave for me. I just want you to know that even though I never seem to have enough time to respond to every one, I appreciate and look forward to them so much. 

I wanted to celebrate reaching 750 official followers!!

(Even though it technically only says 735 followers right now.)(A girl can dream.)

I've been wracking my brain for a fun little present for you and when I picked up my latest magazine the lightbulb went off.

I will be giving one of my dear readers (you!) a year's subscription to Country Living Magazine (that's 10 issues).


That way you will have something fun to look forward to every month. And each time you open your mailbox and see the newest issue you will think of me. Hee hee!

Giveaway Guidelines:

{Open to Canadian and U.S. Residents.}
{Giveaway will close next Sunday at 7:00 p.m.}
{Three chances to win. Make sure to leave a separate comment for each entry.}

Chance #1

1. Just be a follower of this geeky blog. Let me know in a quick comment. Don`t forget to leave your name! And an email address if you don't have a blog where I can reach you.

Chance #2

2. Leave a comment letting me know what kind of posts you prefer: before and afters, house renos, room decorating, crafts, recipes, inspiration photos, random everyday stuff, yard/gardening, learning photography, etc. Just curious, k?

Chance #3

3. Spread the love and mention this giveaway on your Blog, Facebook, or Twitter. Leave a comment letting me know that you did. Actually reaching 750 would be dreamy. :)

  73. I've been following your blog from afar for quite some time, religiously checking it to see if you added any new posts. But I've just subscribed to help you get closer to your goal!!! I love entries about recipes, crafts, gardening and decorating and utilize your "search this blog" bar to the right to search posts so I can duplicate them in my own home (copying is the highest form of flattery right?!). I would LOVE to win that magazine subscription! Though if I don't, I'll still search and read your blog everyday. :o)
