As if I don't already have a full plate, I've decided to host another giveaway! I am holding it in conjunction with the fun that is Blogtoberfest.
Pretty simple stuff (for the most part). Since I am also participating in a Homegrown Swap with some of my i-friends in the Herbal world, I think that is what the prize will be. We haven't completed the swap yet, so you will just have to wait with bated breath to see what you win! I will tell you that the majority of the ingredients/supplies are "homegrown" and that herbs may or may not be involved. I have some other "homemade" goodies that will probably get dropped accidentally into the box as well. I do like surprise giveaways... Clear as mud? It's a mystery to me too.
Now for the particulars, there are 4 ways to get entries in the drawing:
1: Leave a comment and tell me : what your favorite flower is and what part of the world you hail from (I will ship internationally - so ALL are welcome!).
2: Follow my blog.
Bonus: If you are already a follower of my blog before today (Oct 5th), you will receive an extra entry (on top of the one above) in the drawing! Just because I appreciate you sticking with me.
3: Subscribe to my newsletter.
4: Blog about my drawing, I will give you another 2 entries. Just be sure to leave another comment with the link to the post.
That's pretty much all there is to it. I will draw the winner on one of my favorite days, October 31st. You never know, I may just have to have more than one prize! I'm having too much fun..Be sure I have a way to contact you if you aren't a blogger. I hate it when someone wins and there is no way to tell them how lucky they are! I will ship internationally so ALL ARE WELCOME!!
I love a good giveaway... and a mysterious one is even better.. count me in....

ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower is probably the tulip, such a simple shape yet reflects it's own color and reminds me of our trips to Holland. Perhaps that makes me Dutch at heart, but, actually, I'm an American girl living across the country from you in Maryland. :)
My favorite flower, by far, is the sunflower. (Although I love them all).
ReplyDeleteI'm from wild, wonderful West Virginia. :)
