ITS SO VERY COTTAGEY Home Tours 

we are doing.

Be sure to check out all 3 

AMAZING tours.

(sign up for us to tour your home as well)

I have been working on something really 

BIG 

for awhile but I just couldn't tell you yet. 

I am so excited for you gals.

I am launching my 

Advertising Campaign. 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

If you would like to advertise with me 

just send me an e-mail (in the contact Cheri tab) 

-- October is $20 --

To go along with my

Ad Campaign 

the vendors have been so kind 

to offer 

FREE Give-A-Ways 

for you to win,

THEN

others wanted to join in on the fun 

and offer items for you to win as well.

I had people e-mailing 

even yesterday 

up to @ 5 PM 

to join in on the 

AD Campaign and Give-A-Way.

  

I was working on this till 4:30 AM this morning 

(yes, I know I have only had 3 hours of sleep but G3 is 4 years old and wide awake.) 

Before I went to bed I checked e-mail and there will be 

even more Give-A-Ways 

added today.

This just keeps getting 

BETTER 

AND 

BETTER.

 

If you would like to get in on the fun e-mail me.

We have 17 vendors participating and 26 gifts. 

I told you it was

 

GIANORMOUS

26 gifts 

for you gals 

and 

they are all 

SUPER COOL

I want some too but I can't put my name in to the drawing, 

so I'll just have to drool and enjoy the fact that 

you gals will be enjoying some 

AMAZIN' 

PAZIN'

(as my 2 yr old Miss G4 says) gifts.

I was thinking so many of these items 

would make such lovely Christmas gifts.

Can you believe that Christmas is only 85 days away?

I will use Random generator to draw the numbers 

and the winner will be announced on 

Oct 10th

(Yeah I might need 

a day 

to get all the 

numbers and people 

sorted and contacted.)

You will receive clues until Monday Oct 5th.

Tuesday Oct 6th.

SILLY ME-went to bed without giving you a CLUE for today so

I will have clues go to Tues Oct 6th.

You do not have to have a blog to enter the drawing.

Here are the RULES:

YOU CAN PUT YOUR NAME IN EACH DAY 

from OCT 1-OCT 8

that is 8 days 

there are 4 simple things to do

# 1  BECOME A FOLLOWER
(if you already follow go to step 2)

#2  LEAVE ME A MESSAGE with your

E-MAIL and BLOG (if you have one)
yes there is still 2 more 
but 
this is really 

important 

so KEEP reading

Here is where it gets tricky sometimes, figuring out who is who

EX:  Your follower sign in name is Coco LeMoi 

But your e-mail name is CocoLovin'Gal@...

Then your Blog name is Let's Have a Cup of Cocoa

if you 

DO NOT HAVE LINKS 

and don't leave me a message 

 I CAN NOT FIND 

you very easily

Your FOLLOWER NAME will not help me in a 

SEARCH for your BLOG

(Many of you don't have "LINKS" set up through your 

Google account 

I can not reach you

If you have signed up as a 

follower 

and have not received a visit from me, 

I can't get to you.

Contact me and I will help you with fixing it. 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

e-mail me.  

I know some of you think yours is set up right 

BUT

we think there must have been 

a GOOGLE UPDATE

and

--NOW--

YOU

may not have 

LINKS

SO MANY people have no idea. 

I CAN NOT tell you how many contact

me to say 

"I HAD NO IDEA

now how do I fix it?"

You want to fix this before you get 

BIG. 

My other recommendation is to have your 

FOLLOWER NAME

include your BLOG NAME.)

Do me a favor-click on followers, sign in, when it pulls you up

Do you have a picture

& scroll down to check and see

If you have LINKS?

**************************

The 

original 

invisible 

Adhesive Disc Plate Hanger, 

tested and proven 

for more than 30 years. 

I haven't been able to try these yet 

but 

I need to get a bunch of these.

They look like the 

COOLEST 

thing since 

ICE CREAM.

Do you want to know why I think these are so 

COOL?

You can hang a plate on the wall without those wire plate hangers.

The Disc with hanger is attached to the back of the plate.

All you have to do is get the disc wet, activate the glue,

attach it to the plate. let it dry over night and hang on the wall.

To remove it, just soak in warm water.

I told you they were the 

COOLEST 

thing since

ICE CREAM.

He is offering 3 complete sets of the Disc Hangers.

They have 5 sizes available 

and they range in price from

$1.75 - $3.75

I'm thinking these would be 

some great stocking stuffers for

CHRISTMAS.
