Blog-a-versary Giveaway

I can hardly believe that I’ve been doing this whole “blog” thing for an entire year... SIL talked me into it (okay, I was hardly kicking and screaming - but I can still blame it on her right?) and now I have to wonder what I did with my life BEFORE blogging???

Laundry?
Dishes?
Gourmet Meals?
Exercise?
Nah, I probably just read more and wasted more time on silly things like television. I haven’t played a game of solitaire in... oh... all year... unless of course you count that spider solitaire that T the Younger plays on facebook... I have to stand over his shoulder and help him out now and then :)

Oh - the giveaway... I am feeling remiss that I haven’t done one since last July - so I’ll do two:
One of you will win a pile of handmade cards from my very own stash that I keep in my scrapbook room for “special occasions” - they are WAY cute of course - and I will post lovely pictures of them when I actually pack them up to send... which will be after I finish cleaning that room - yipes!

Another lucky reader will win a custom cake made by my own little hands - this will have to go to a local of course because I cannot ship my cakes... let’s be honest - I have nightmares when I have to deliver them more than a few miles away! So - if you live in the St George Utah area (or happen to be related to me and we’ll be visiting near the time you want a cake) (or if you happen to NOT be related to me and are willing to make the trip to get it...) - just put in your comments that you want to be included in the cake giveaway!
All comments will earn an entry - you can grab an extra entry by swinging by the book blog and commenting there as well... I’d give away more entries for following etc... but hey, I only want totally dedicated followers... you want some Kool-aid?  I'll pick a random winner (two actually) by Friday and post it here - I know you're WAY excited!!!!

P.S. - there are a TON of give-aways today - pop on over to S.I.T.S. and check out their Mr. Linky :)  Happy Spring!!!

  5. Yay! I need cards badly. Since you don't feel like flying to sunny Cali and dropping off a cake...

    Oh, no thanks. I don't want your punch. I don't wear sweats with white sneakers either.

  6. Great giveaway - and great blog. You have a very funny voice. Wow, that came out wrong. Oh well, you know what I mean, right? LOL on the "what did I do before blogging?" My poor regular tv shows are so neglected, not to mention the housework!

  20. Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary of blogging. Mine comes up in July. The cards sound fun, I would love homemade cards. The cake, I don't know about. I know I live in Cedar, but it is still 45 minutes away, so you don't have to put me in that drawing, just for the cards.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ooh-I'd love to win either. I don't live in St. George...but I've been known to go there on occasion so I wouldn't say no to a cake from you. And I LOVE homemade cards. I wanna win!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  29. I would love the cards..I'm always in need of them and have not mastered how to do them myself..lol

    I wish I could get the cake but I believe GA is a little to far for that..lol

    ReplyDelete
  30. I am most definitely too far for the cake. Which is a darn shame since my birthday is coming up! But please do include me for the cards. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I knew you'd find your calling in life when you started blogging!

    I too think of life pre-GoogleReader, pre-facebook...it was a little more lonely! I think it's nice to have these social outlets when I'm at home all the time. Of course, it's hard to limit time and get maybe more important stuff done at times...

    i hope I win one of your fun prizes!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I never wanted to live closer to Utah than I do now...but alas Va is not "local".

    Happy Spring Fling!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Not local, but would love to win the cards! Thanks

    Thanks by stopping by my blog and entering my giveaway.

    Don't worry about entering me for the giveaway since I make cards, and until I move to Tacoma to be around my family, I really can't get the cake! ;-)

    As delicious as I am sure it would be!

  57. I wish I was in Utah so I could have a chance to win your cake but, alas, I am in NJ. If I do win, you can make your cake and put pictures of you eating the cake and that would make me happy. :)

    ReplyDelete
  58. I could really use some cards! And your cake sounds wonderful. I am in SLC - so that is probably too far!

  60. I think it's great that after a year you've broken the 7-bit barrier for comments. Amazing what an offer for something homemade will do to tease out the lurkers. Someday we'll be back out there, but I think it would be funny if someone from your BR got the cake.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Pick me please! Pretty please?

    ReplyDelete
  62. Ok so I would love a home made cake since my oven is broke!!

    ReplyDelete
  63. New follower!
    Consider me for NOT the cake. I am in Texas.
