Tie Giveaway!

Check this out: The Matching Tie Guy!

A friend of a friend of mine is starting a new business. She sells quality ties that match in ALL sizes! Newborn to adult your entire family could wear the same tie and look ADORABLE! Pretty genius idea if you ask me. Just thought I'd help her spread the word.All you have to do for a chance to win is drop by Ashley's blog HERE and leave a comment! If you have a blog of your own, post about it and ask your friends to stop by! If you don't mind leaving a comment and say that I sent you it would increase BOTH our chances to win....who can resist that?

If I win I would love the red with squares...gorgeous tie! Go check all the ties out here: The Matching Tie Guy!

I WON!! I WON!!! I WON!!! I'm so excited.

Want something for FREE???

A week or so ago, I won a contest "Pay it Forward"...I continued the contest & received great results. Everyone that played made it so much fun. Now, if you didn't win, but you want to. Check out this site. It's still going. You can get in on the action.





Check out what I won from doing Pay it Forward: This darling homemade "grandma's apron". Thanks so much Raygon.
And here's what the 3 winners got from me when I did the contest. And yes...it was all HOMEMADE!

Great gifts await you! Check it out! Be a winner & keep it going.

What you've all been waiting for:

I know that you have all been patiently waiting for the winners of the "Pay it Forward" Contest....And they are

(Drum roll please)........








Okay, go count & see if you are one of the winners. Just kidding. I actually did count it out by hand about 3 times to insure perfection. And I think that you will all be pleased to hear that 3 DIFFERENT people won. But before I tell you their names I want to tell you why it's taken me so long to post this today. I was busy doing this:




Yes sir-ree...I chopped off my hair. It's different, but I think that I'm liking it. HY & Mini-E even noticed a difference. They are starting to warm up to me again. But, you all are the first to see it---besides my mother & sister. Even Farmboy has yet to see me. So, if you love it...tell me so , if you don't---then---that's okay too, but I'd rather not hear that you think it's hideous.

BACK to the Winners. First let me say, THANK YOU so so much to everyone who played & just had fun. I loved reading all of your comments (I read ever single one of the 146 comments).

Don't forget that if you didn't win, you can still play the game. Of course, the 3 winners are OBLIGATED to play the game. And "Pay it Forward"


The Winners are:

100 Comments & Counting

I think this is the greatest thing that has happened to me ALL week. I love it when I have read 80+ comments in one sitting. I didn't even realize that my goal was to get to 100 comments, but YOU ALL have done it. I'm so impressed.

As for the random generator...I will make sure that 3 different people are picked...even if I have to randomly generate 10 comments. I wish all of you could win. You have been so passionate about making your comments.

Good luck to everyone! Tomorrow is the DAY.

Cheaters Welcome

This Pay it Forward contest has really brought out the cheater in everyone. I love it. Mainly because it's NOT cheating, but it feels like it. It's like having a really great Italian icecream that is so good that you feel like it should be illegal! If you haven't ever had that kind of icecream, please visit Italy sometime in your lifetime. I promise, it's worth your time.

As for the gift....I am still thinking about what it will be. The original rules were that you had to make something, but I'm not that great at "homemade" stuff. So, the gift is still in the works.

Remember, Friday I'll be announcing the winners, so get those comments in!

Pay it Forward Contest

I am the Winner! I rarely win anything so I'm very very excited to announce that I won a "Pay it Forward" Contest on my friend, Raygon's blog! (audible applause). Thank you -thank you very much.

Here's how it works: You post a comment on my blog & on Friday, I'll be announcing who the random winners are. There will be 3 winners, so you've got a great chance of winning one of my fabulouse prizes (not telling what, but I promise they will be fabulous).

If you are one of the 3 winners, you are responsible for keeping this contest going. If you do not win, I'm sorry---it doesn't mean that I don't love you---it just means that the random generator didn't pick your comment. But, feel free to carry on this contest---win or lose.

****no restrictions apply--feel free to comment as much as you like.*****
