One Year Blogiversary Giveaway!

04 March 2009
My blogiversary is fast approaching. I posted my first real post on March 24, 2008. In honor of this momentous occasion, I've decided to have a giveaway. The big prize up for grabs is a "box of goodies" including at least 12 of my favorite things. Some things that are included are jewelry and soap from one of my favorite Etsy shops, plus more! I promise, it will be great! I am blessed to have some wonderful loyal readers, so this is my way of saying thanks for a great year!

Okay, I've had some emails telling me this is too confusing, so I've reworked it a bit.

To Enter:
*Comment on this post. Let me know about something you found helpful on Ramblings and/or something you'd like me write about more. I can't wait to hear your feedback!

*Put my button on your blog or add me to your blog roll.

*Blog about this giveaway.

*Twitter about this giveaway.

*Become a follower of my blog.

*Subscribe to my blog.

***Earn five bonus entries by heading over to Fishful Thinking, then come back here and tell me something you learned. Just be sure to leave five comments...like this -

Comment 1 - I went to Fishful Thinking and learned yada yada yada
Comment 2 - copy & paste above
Comment 3 - copy & paste above
Comment 4 - copy & paste above
Comment 5 - copy & paste above

I hope that makes sense!

That's total of 11 possible entries. Just be sure that you leave me a separate comment here for each thing you did. Also, be sure that I have a way to contact you, either via email or your blog.

There are also two smaller prizes up for grabs!

One new follower will win a prize, winner will be selected by random drawing.

The person who comments the most between now and the entry deadline will receive a prize as well.

Deadline to enter is March 24! The winner will be announced on March 27.


SAVING is good.

    I just enjoy reading your blog for the various posts which are often a lot of fun -- like the 911 call and shutters (which I think are cute also) and Rachel Ray (whose shows I enjoy). I read your blog because it's fun and wouldn't change anything :-)

My cat was giving me bizarre looks as I was lol'ing while reading your story about the child asking "let me see your uterus"!!! rofl! You've got a great writing talent! Thank you for the contest!

    I just found your blog, and I'm impressed by your recipes - many of them have an edge that's just a little bit different (to my Yankee palate). I'd like to see more recipes like Bierocks - it seems very different to me - and, if possible, I'd love to see some pictures of the food (don't fancy them up...I like food photos to be just like you serve it at home). Hope you're not sorry you asked!

    Happy Blogiversary! One Year is quite an accomplishment! May you have another fun and happy Year! I was really intrigued by your post about the Total Focus program. I too have a son with ADHD and I would love it if you keep posting on how this program is working for your family. I know you are only 1 disk into the program so I think blogging about the program and the effects it is having would be interesting to read about. I hope you make progress in handling Tristen's ADHD and thank you for sharing your initial feelings about it. All my best to you and your family!

    This may sound strange but reading about your son and his ADHD helps me. Not because I have a child with this but because I have a 14-year-old daughter who is causing our household a lot of grief right now. You said that you threaten grounding and he doesn't care, same here. Etc Etc. Reading how you deal with this is helping me find patience with my child. I told you that it might seem strange to you. :)
