CELEBRATORY GIVEAWAY



Several of you have mentioned this book lately. I got my bookclub copy a couple of days ago and after reading thru it decided that it would make a fun giveaway. I went to Borders to no avail, but found a copy at B&N. To celebrate my 50+ posts I am going to have a drawing. Please leave a comment on this post by Monday@11PM EST. I will pick the winner Tuesday morning which is ( feel a shameless plug coming on??) my birthday. Wait a minute, maybe the giveaway should be my birthday giveaway instead of 50+ posts. Anywho, if you send someone to my blog and they mention you I will give you an additional chance and if you "advertise" my giveaway on your blog ( and let me know) I will give you another chance. Lurkers, please prepare to "come out" for this great opportunity. In the spirit of international peace and harmony this giveaway is open to a world wide audience.

So, let the comments begin. Remember, the comments are on this post only!

Later,
Janet

    And my birthday is Tuesday - 1/15!!! Happy birthday everyone! I am always up for trying to win something! Please add me to your list. By the way, I LOVED your AAADD story, I have sent it on to many people - it is soooo me! If only there was a pill for that! I always end up spending SO much time reading blogs, and loving them all, I don't have time to update my blog! And then I bookmark so many I can't find a thing when I want to - oh well, thank heavens God loves me anyway! (grin) Anyway love your blog, have a good day!

    Hmmmm - so what year were you born? It seems so many bloggers are SOOO young! I always think I am the same age, and then realize that when they are talking about their kids, they are toddlers, not teenagers and post teenagers! Oh well - but realized too late we share the EXACT same b-day- and I was just curious what year? I mistakenly added mine to my email addy - I got flustered when they said there are "other" Diane Carlson's and stupidly put down my bday, year and all! So I am 11553, so this year is a semi big year-gulp! Anyway - gotta get to work - gotta get something done! (with emphasis on something) But one thing nice about this date is now adays it has become a holiday for everyone with MLK day! And I even get a day off of work - with being a teacher aide and all! Okay, enough blathering - Have a SUPER birthday there twin!

    I stopped in from Notes from a Cottage Industry, where you'd left a comment saying there was a giveaway. Curiosity being one of my biggest failings, I had to see what it was. Then I checked your profile, and had to laugh at this: "I read so fast that I often forget what I have read rather quickly." Yes, I am someone of a certain age who also does that! The advantage to all this is you can approach a previously read book and enjoy it all over again as much as the first time.

    Maybe we'll end up in the slammer together! I also love 'glancing' in windows during an evening walk. I think rooms look even better framed by the curtains and lit with warm lighting. I'm not coming out of lurking because I just found your blog courtesy of Dawn at The Feathered Nest (there you go, Dawn, another chance at the book), but I'll be back. We think alike. Happy birthday and happy blogging. Annie

    I like what you've done with your snowman. Adding new life to an old character is fun and in a sense "recycling" it, don't you think? I like to do this as well. I even buy things that I do not like the color on and repaint them before I use them in my home.
