I'm announcing . . . a Giveaway!

I've learned from past giveaways that it is necessary to put GIVEAWAY in your blog post title.  If you post it - they will come!  Bearing sweet and sassy comments that will entertain me for hours (I am easily entertained!).  So . . .

. . . as promised, below are a couple of little sumpin, sumpins to celebrate a few of my many recent blessings. 

Blessing Number 1 -- I actually had something worthwhile to say 100 times!  (Well, at least I posted 100 times!) 

Blessing Number 2 ~~ I will have 160 followers!  Yup, I'm uppin the anty on this.  Thank you #150-152!  You sweeties helped me reach my goal for the year but now I am a greedy little cuss and want more! 

Blessing Number 3 ~~ And the biggest blessing of all was the birth of my little granddaughter Lainey Grace!

Edited:  Believe me . . . my Lainey is my first and foremost blessing!  I guess I put my blessings in the wrong order of importance!  Thanks for pointing that out to me!

The prizes . . .

One lucky duck will win the fabulous, the out-of-this-world, the cute-as-a-button, hand-stitched, made with love bag.  Well anyway, it's a new bag I made.  But it really was made with love for one of you!  

It is approximately 8" x 10", has a snap closure, a pocket on the inside and one on the back.

Perfect for quick trips to the antique store!

Another lucky duck will win a small, but oh-so-lovely vase made from vintage silverware.

I found this at Daffadowndilly's.  Cammie is a Junk Bonanza aficionado and is one of Ki's right hand gals!  It is so much fun to talk with her and hear the non-secret behind the show stories!  And she finds the absolute best junk ever!

This is maybe a better picture!

So . . .

this is how we are going to play.  Lynn from Trash to Treasure Art had this great, but very sneaky way, of choosing a winner.  And I am copying duplicating her idea (she said I could). 

I am picking 2 numbers - #17 (for Lainey's June birthday) and #36 (cuz I want lots of comments and I've never got that many before!).  Who wins will be up to you!  Leave a comment on THIS post only.  I won't reveal any comments until Tuesday, August 10th OR until I get 160 followers - whichever comes LAST!  So will you comment today or tomorrow?  Or will you wait until the last minute to put your name in the hat?  You can leave more than one comment but only one per day please!  I think this will work but if not, I reserve the right to chuck the whole thing and draw the winners' names the old fashioned way!  Please leave me a way to contact you or it will be numbers 18 and 37 who will get the goodies!

I'm thinkin I should have had 3 prizes ~ one for each blessing. Maybe I could have a little side drawing for those of you who post about my giveaway. What do you think?  Just tell me you gave me a little shout-out in your daily comment, 'kay?  And if you are so kind as to become one of my followers, just thrill me in your daily comment too!  No need for separate comments!

Good luck!  I hope you'll come to play!

Edited again: I'm sorry, but you must have an active blog to participate.  Meeting new bloggers is why I blog myself and if I can't respond to you, how will I get to know you?  So those that commented anonomously or with private blogs, please comment again so I can find you!
