Ad Campaign and A Fabulous Give-A-Way Day 2


 
My gals know, that if you link to me, I will repay the favor and link back to you.  My sweet blog friend Cheryl from Tidy Mom did a post and showed the gift she won from one of my Give-A-Ways.
.
If you have heard that there is something really BIG going on at
Its So Very Cheri then you've heard right


Not only do we have BIG news here but if you go to the very next post you will see the ITS SO VERY COTTAGEY home tours party.  3 beautiful homes are featured today.



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-Way


for you to win,THEN others wanted to join in on the fun 
and offer items for you to win as well.


This just keeps getting 


BETTER 


AND 


BETTER
 

I added a new advertiser and give-a-way today.  I also had another person contact me and we are talking, so there may be even more coming soon.  If you would like to get in on the fun  and offer a give-a-way or  be a part of the give-a-way and the advertising you can e-mail me with any questions.


We have 17 vendors participating and  25 gifts. 



That means  drawings and you can put your name 
in every day from Oct 1 through Oct 8



I told you it was


GIANORMOUS


 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. 
Todays entrants will just be added to the bottom of yesterdays names and the winner will be announced on 
Oct 10th 
(Yeah I might need a day to get all the #'s sorted and posted.)



You will receive clues until Monday Oct 5th.
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 

 OCT 1 - OCT 8


that is 8 days, 8 chances, 30 amazing gifts



there are 4 simple things to do


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



#2   Try to Guess Tuesday's Clue
So how many shots did my 4 year old 
make with the hoop at 6 foot?
need help with that clue? 
it's right HERE

this is just for fun and it is pretty easy and 
even if you don't get it right your name still goes in 

#3  Tell me your favorites in the give-a-ways


  #4   LEAVE ME A MESSAGE with your


E-MAIL and BLOG (if you have one)


I need you to do me a favor because sometimes I can't find my new followers.  WHY, because some of you don't know you no longer have LINKS to your blog. 




It can get Tricky when someone uses a different name for their FOLLOWER name, their BLOG NAME and their e-mail.


EX: your follower sign in name is Coco LeMoi
but your e-mail name is COCO LOVIM GAL@...
Then your BLog name is Let's  have a cup of cocoa

My  PLEA is to have your 
FOLLOWER NAME include your BLOG NAME


Now to complicate things a little more-Many of you don't have "LINKS" set up through your Google account  and many of you don't even realize it. 
Do me a favor-click on followers, sign in, when it pulls you up check 2 things.  Do you have a picture? Now scroll down to check and see If you have LINKS set up?  If NOT



I can not reach you


If you have signed up as a follower and have not received a visit from me,  it is because I can not get to you



Contact me and I will help you with fixing it. 




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 


Save this CLUE you will need it later in the week long give-a-way.

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







I KNOW ALL OF YOU 
WANT TO BE 
JUST AS HIP 
AS I AM
so you will want an APRON
from 
the HIP HOSTESS
as well.

 Mother and Daughter team have a really HIP business.


It all started when Newly married Daughter 
needed a HIP APRON
to wear for her first married-event as HOSTESS 
Mom, of course came to the rescue


THEN


everyone wanted to know where she got her
HIP HOSTESS APRON


YOU ALL WILL NEED 
one for the HOLIDAYS too
so you can be HIP


I need Miss G4 and I to have matching ones
SHE LOVES helping in the KITCHEN
and guess what 
they have matching 
LITTLE GIRL APRONS  
(I know she'll want PINK and their pink is cute)

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.

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

  1. I enjoy reading your blog. I am a bit confused about the big giveaways and the clues. Maybe I misses the announcement or the directions, but I have scrolled through your blog and I'm not seeing it.

  2. Thank you for the opportunities and for the giveaways! I like the pumpkin tassel!

  3. What is my favorite item, there are so many, I Like Red Letter Words, and a Print from your Dad, the blog makeover as I am not curretnly using my blog and want to start up again as it has been almost a year. Looking at the basketball video I would say your son made 8 baskets that night. I thought it was great that he knew to stop when cars were coming and that he wanted to lower the basket for his sister.

  4. Hi Cheri! I guess I don't have to tell you my favorites in the giveway or that I'm a follower or my contact info...you know those.

    I told you I'm so "clueless". I'm getting all nervous and sweaty like I'm taking a test and don't know the answer! haha

    I'm going to guess that your son got 4 hoops in since the clue is about G4. ?

    TGIF!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE reading each and every comment. Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit. I wish I could sit and chat with each of you face to face, sipping on an ice cold lemonade (in the hotter months) or a nice hot cup of coffee (in the colder months), getting to know each other but this is fun too.
