My blog is 4 years old! I didn’t realize that I’ve been blogging that long, although of course, it wasn’t really a stable journey, because there were times when I just didn’t feel inspired to share anything. There were even times when I just had one or two posts in one month because I sometimes find it difficult to come up with posts which in my opinion would be interesting to blog hoppers. I know that not all the time will people be interested to read about my kids’ achievements and my family’s concerns, and besides, I’ve never been comfortable in sharing anything that I consider to be too personal because I still want to preserve my family’s privacy.
Lately, I’ve been actively posting, and I even had the courage to finally move this blog to WordPress, which I’ve been planning to do for the longest time. I’ve been trying to come up with posts that are general in nature, in the hope that people who drop by my blog will find them interesting, and will give them the feeling that they’ve learned something out of the few minutes that they spent reading some of my posts.
So, out of this renewed interest in blogging, I decided to have a Thanksgiving Giveaway in time for my Blogversary. And since this is going to be my way of saying thank you to all those who spend time reading my posts, dropping comments, and following my blog, I’m going to make the rules very easy.
But first, let me tell you about what I’m going to give away.
Some of you might be aware that I have an online shop. I express my creativity thru the products that I sell in my shop, that’s why when I thought of hosting a giveaway for this blog, I couldn’t think of anything to offer except my own products. It’s my passion, so I’m sharing it with you. I hope you’ll find them interesting enough to join…
So, here it goes:
5 Winners of Php500 each worth of items from my Online Store + Free shipping
Winners can choose from among the items offered for sale in my Multiply Site: (www.homespunfromtheheart.multiply.com)
What do you need to do?
Mandatory Requirements:
(1) Follow my blogs, Sharing my Thoughts and Homespun from the Heart, using Google Friend Connect found on the Sidebars. Indicate in your comment the Username that you used. 2 entries
(2) Like my Facebook Pages. Indicate in your comment your FB profile. 2 entries
(3) Leave comment indicating the items that you wish to have in case you’re declared a winner. 1 entries
OPTIONAL (in case you want to have additional entries)
(1) Post about this giveaway. Leave comment indicating the permalink of your post. 2 entries
(2) Subscribe to my blog thru email using the Feedburner on my blog’s left Sidebar. 1 entry
But wait!
This is also open to those who don’t have blogs. Participants who don’t have blogs just need to LIKE my 2 FB pages and put the link to this post on their Wall and tag my FB pages. Only entries appearing on my FB Pages’ Walls are valid.
3 Winners will each get the following prizes:
One (1) 8×5 Personalized Notepad, One (1) 4×5 Personalized Notepad,
20 pcs Personalized Gift Tags and 20 pcs Embossed Gift Tags
Winners can choose from any of the available designs posted in my Multiply Site: (www.homespunfromtheheart.multiply.com)
This giveaway will run from 14 August to 15 September. Winners will be chosen thru Random.org, and will be announced by 18 September.
The prizes will be shipped only to address within the Philippines, so participants from outside the Philippines can still join provided they have a Philippine address.
Hope you’ll join me in celebrating my Blogversary!!!
