BLOGOVERSARY GIVEAWAY!!

One year ago today, I started this blog. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would go on for this long. I figured I would grow bored with it, as with many other things in my life. I was way wrong and I am so glad about that.



The small amount of supporters/readers that I started with, has grown in the last few months and I am ecstatic. Thanks to each and every one of you who stop by regularly and for those of you that leave comments. They always bring a smile to my face.



So in honor of my Blogoversary and my 250th post, I am having a giveaway!



What is it, you ask? Well, I have pondered this for several days and have decided that whoever wins will receive something in keeping with the 'theme', if you will, of my blog.



When I think about 'escaping' anywhere, one thing that comes to mind is total peace and quiet and relaxation, enjoying the things that I love the most. Including, but certainly not limited to, listening to my favorite music, reading a book, or indulging in some lovely sweetness called 'chocolate'. Getting all girly girly with some smell goods and pampering myself, also comes to mind.



The winner of my giveaway will receive a special box of goodies, filled with things to indulge and relax. ( I have not gathered up the 'specifics' yet, but will do so shortly.)



Here are the rules:

1. First and foremost, you MUST FOLLOW my blog to enter and win. I want to give back to someone who has been and will be here, sharing in my daily escape.



2. All you have to do to enter is leave me a comment.



3. While you are at it, tell me what you love to 'indulge' in. Whether it is a bubble bath, massage, or a simple treat.



That's it! I will leave the giveaway open until Monday, March 9th @ 8:00 AM CST, when I will choose a winner via Random.org. I will announce my winner on Friday March 13th. (The reason I am waiting a few days, is because I am participating in the SITS girls Spring Fling and will be having a different giveaway on Tuesday March 10th, so don't forget to come by and enter to win something then, too! Fun! Fun!)

Just pack it up and send it my way. lol Lets see, a massage sounds really good and I can't tell you how long it's been since a good pedicure, but you know my favorite indulgence is to curl up with milk and cookies while watching a movie. Corny?

Have a great day!

So glad you kept up the blogging. I fought it. My friends told me to start one and I refused, forever. Now that I've started I am a total addict.
I love your blog and am so glad I came over to visit.
My big indulgence is having time on the sofa all to myself to crochet, read, watch a DVR'd show, lighting candles.

Happy Blogaversary to you! Congrats. My escape is always into a good book. whether it be one I'm reading or writing.

Jen said...

Congratulations on your bloggiversary!! I think I'm following you. You are in my reader so I hope that means I'm also following you. :)

Yea for a year! I am the same as you...I thought I'd grow bored or stop having things to blog about. Well, today might be that day since I sang a little ditty about chocolate. :) Congrats, though. It's becoming so much fun to follow the lives of people and learn, bit by bit, the things we have in common.

I follow you, but it might be anonymously. I am timid at first about putting out there who I follow...almost like it's my own secret. LOL Weird, I know. I think my post today says what I indulge in...chocolates. But I also can get lost in running. It just FEELS good.

Happy Friday, happy one year anniversary, happy weekend.

Congrats on your blogoversary! I'm so glad I have "met" you via our bloggy world.

Dude--I have NO idea what I'm going to give away for the SITS thing next week. Seriously...it's stressing me out. I need to take a bubble bath...with a good book...a glass of wine...and my iPod playlist of relaxing tunes. Yep, that's my weekly indulgence. Good times.

Congrats on your Blogiversary! I think my favorite thing to do to escape is to pick up a good book. Otherwise, my escape is to the mall to go shopping... ALONE!
