CHRISTMAS IN JULY GIVEAWAY

67

July 16, 2008 UPDATE. Just added another bit of treasure to this giveaway.  See the picture in this post.

I had so much fun with The Cottage Charm Giveaway. Why not have another?What will I be giving away? Well, I have a few old West German ornaments, an entire box of Shiny Brites and some seashells already in the box —- We shall see what else I can scrounge together :) Check back as I’ll add pictures along the way.

An original box of Blue Shiny Brite ornaments, 4 vintage west Germany kugel, a vintage flower frog still in the package, some star fish and shells and an embroidered Christmas table cloth.

Just leave a comment anywhere on this blog during the entire month of July 2008 to be entered into the giveaway. The winner will be drawn August 1. Due to high postage costs, I have to limit this to USA shipping only. Sorry.

I practiced my limited Photoshop skills and made a graphic. If you’d like to join the fun with a Christmas in July Giveaway on your blog, copy and paste the code from my sidebar to your blog — then email me at alovelything (at) gmail (dot) com to let me know so I can link back to you.

Of course, it’s your blog and your Christmas present, so you can giveaway anything you like!

  43. Jeanie07-15-2008

    Well! How fun is this! I would love to enter the drawing and could you email me “rules” for being a participant? (Like the deadline and dates?) I would like to participate as a giveaway site if I can manage this in the time left and with vacation coming up! So, if you could, that would be wonderful! My favorite holiday!

  44. A Lovely Thing07-15-2008

    @ Jeanie, and others who’d like to participate,

    The rules are fairly simple. Gather some items together that you’d like to giveaway on your blog. Once you posted the little graphic AND your giveaway items, just let me know at the above email.

    Again, it’s up to you whether you can afford international shipping and open your giveaway to all posters.

    Take comments through the 31st of July. Pull a winner Aug 1st or close to it.

    That’s it! Easy and fun!

  45. Shimmy Mom07-15-2008

    I would love to be entered in your giveaway. I LOVE the Star fish and blue ornaments. I linked here from a couple other blogs and I like yours. I’ll check in again. Congrats on you ad. It looks great.
