Okay, so I can't figure out how to get the little graphic over there to be beside my words instead of at the top of the post, but whatever. Anyways, Shannon over at Rocks in my Dryer is hosting another bloggy giveaway carnival (on her bloggy giveaways blog)and I decided to join in this time instead of just entering all of them. LOL. Of course, I'm going to do that, too.
Anywho, after racking my brain to come up with something to give away, I'm still drawing a blank, but I know I'm going to come up with something. So we'll call it a surprise. ;-) When I come up with a more concrete answer, maybe I'll make it a second giveaway. =)
And just for fun, how bout telling me one of the best surprises you've had. =) Don't worry, it won't have any bearing on winning or not, it's just to make it interesting. LOL!
The Boring Details:
- Winner will be picked by random drawing using some kind of online random number generator on Saturday, February 2nd, 2008.
- Contest open to US only (sorry, I can't afford shipping outside the US....particularly since I'm not sure what exactly I'll be shipping).
- You don't have to have a blog to win, but if you don't have a blog, please make sure you leave me an email so I can contact you for your address if you win.
Thanks for stopping by! I'm going to go start entering myself in all the contests now.
Later. =)
Sure who doesnt love surprises!

ReplyDeleteI like surprises! One of my best surprises was when my son who was 5 at the time, made me a present with stuff he found around the house that we were having built. It's not something that I'll ever use, but he made it out of love just to surprise me. For Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOne fun surprise - going for a walk with my boyfriend and coming back engaged!

Ok, I hate surprises, but I will play along anyway. My favorite surprise was my hubby completely surprised me when he proposed. Not only when he asked, but he had a surprise party waiting for me with all my friends to congratulate me. He was mighty confident!
ReplyDeleteSuprises? I LOVE suprises! My favorite suprise is when my hubby proposed. I wasn't expecting it all (like the day he did it) b/c everyone else was expecting it. He likes to do things when ppl are least expecting and I was least expecting. *loL* confused yet?

ReplyDeleteI have to say my favorite surprise was a year when my husband and I were not able to buy gifts for each other at Christmas. After everyone had opened their gifts, my husband said, wait, there is something in your stocking.
He reached in and pulled out a little box. Inside was a pair of diamond earrings.
I cried and cried. I was so touched that he had found a way to buy those earrings for me.
Still my favorite gift ever!
