Very Possibly THE BEST blog give-a-way -EVAH Day 7

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAYS party, it is the next post.  Check out the give-a-way that has been extended to Oct 13 plus you can go back and post from Oct 1 on. 












 AREN'T THEY ALL AMAZING???  This isn't all,

 there is more where that came from


Karen, Roeshel, Kelee, Janell, Jennifer, Shannon, Jane, Christy, Michelle, Christine, Monica, Yansy, Mary Ellen, Southern Fried Gal, Michelle, Kristin and Jordan, Tracey, tales from an oc cottage, Liz, Connie, Heather, Joanna, Beth
thank you to my sweet blog friends for all of their help

I PLAN ON CREATING A NEWSLETTER  It isn't that I really want a news letter but a place for everyone to sign up, so I can send them important info.  I want my girls to have a heads up-FIRST-before everyone else.  Right now I have to go to each one individually and I get bigger and bigger each day and it is sucking up so much time.  I could be creating cool things to show you DIY projects rather than sitting at a computer.  CAN YOU HELP ME???  When I add the newsletter sign up.

 





.If you have heard that there is something really BIG going on at
Its So Very Cheri then you've heard right


I  launched 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 

We have 19 vendors participating and 30 gifts and I 
keep getting new e-mails about others that are interested.
 

This just kept getting 

BETTER

 

We have 19 vendors participating and 30 gifts and I 
keep getting new e-mails about others that are interested.  
Every gift is amazing. 

I keep getting e-mails like:

"I have never been to a give-a-way where I liked every item."

"Wow!  This is the BEST give-a-way I have ever seen."

"I can't pick just one favorite I love them all."


so things kept getting better and better
UNTIL...(the BAD news)

very few people were signing up.  I tried all kinds of things.  
I felt horrid, I had never had such a low turnout for a give-a-way. I knew something was terribly wrong. Hundreds had come by and were still coming by-I was looking at my analyzer. I could see that some days we had close to a thousand people coming by and only a few had signed up.

WHY???
Then Sunday night, I started getting e-mails saying their posts from each day weren't showing and my live feed hadn't come through in 4 days.  I was trying to figure it all out.  Any of you who have kids and have ever gone on a long trip, know that this was not on my list of "TO DO" but all of a sudden it was on the TOP of the list. Everything I tried didn't work--- 
UGHH!!!

To say I was on the verge of tears, was an understatement.

I think I finally have it resolved & you can leave comments again-watch closely & make sure that you get a message: "your comment will be posted once it has been moderated".  If you don't, e-mail me, but I think we should be OK. 
THE GOOD NEWS
There is absolutely no reason to penalize all of you sweet gals for a GOOGLE issue--is there.  NO!,  so you can go back into each day and post a comment, even if you didn't post one the first time.   
IT GETS BETTER 
we are extending the Give-A-Way to
OCT 13  
so you will have even more chances to win.  I hope that helps makes up for it.

PLEASE  
help get the word out that the give-a-way has been extended 
to 
Oct 13 
and
their entry may have never been received and so they need to come 
back over to re-enter.

GRAB the button 
and do a post 
 PRETTY PLEASE

Here are the RULES:

YOU CAN PUT YOUR NAME IN EACH DAY 


 OCT 1 - OCT 13
you CAN go back and re-enter from the Oct 1 post-
-is that cool or what?
The winners will be announced on  
Oct 15th
(Yeah I might need a day to get all the #'s sorted and posted.)

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

# 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)

 Tell me your favorites in the give-a-ways
a sweet thank you to the vendors would be OK too.


If you have already done this just leave me a "SWEET" message.

INTERESTED IN EXTRA CHANCES?


***IF YOU WOULD LIKE AN EXTRA CHANCE IN THE DRAWING YOU CAN DO A POST ABOUT THIS EVENT,
(each day that you post counts as another chance). Don't forget the button. YOU MUST LEAVE ME A SECOND COMMENT WITH THE URL FOR YOUR POST, SO IT COUNTS WITH RANDOM DRAWING. (each post receives an individual # in the drawing)


***For ANOTHER CHANCE, TWEET about it (Follow me on Twitter), every day counts as another chance-just leave me a comment so it gets counted in the random count

 ***Want ANOTHER CHANCE?  Post it on FACEBOOK. (Follow me on Facebook-- Cheri Childers Peoples-it is helpful if you leave me a note that says you are from Its So Very Cheri) Be sure to come back and leave a post about it as well.

  24. A newsletter sounds great. I am lovin' this giveaway, and silly as it may sound, I especially like the way the shades of purple look against your blog background. I am in paint choosing mode, and your background color would be a nifty choice for our bedroom. :)

  34. Absolutely lovely give away. I am a new follower and love your blog site. I would like to sit and have a hot cup of coffee with you also. My birthday is on Oct 31st and I think that this would top it off for a lovely day. I also think it is very nice and generous of those who are donating for this give away. Thank you to each of them and regardless, whomever receives this lovely gift will be very appreciative of the generosity of those who are donating and to you for the trouble you are going through. Thank you for all of us..

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.
