Well hey there.

I just wanted to let you know that I’m only doing four giveaways this Christmas, and the second one is up and running over on my giveaways page.

p.s. – It’s personalized jewelry.

p.p.s. – And it’s super cute.

p.p.p.s. – Your hair looks really good today, by the way.

p.p.p.p.s. – IT DOES!

And the winner is…

Congratulations, Nancy – you’ll have an email from me shortly with information about how to claim your prize.

And thanks, everybody, for the great response!

Yesterday – not two hours after I posted about all my pre-Christmas excitement – I got an email about doing a gift card giveaway for a department store whose name rhymes with “soles” (or “Sohl’s,” as it were). And since I’d pretty much stirred the pot about YAY! CHRISTMAS! only a couple of hours before, I figured it was only right and good for me to see if I could provide one of y’all with some extra holiday change for your post-Thanksgiving shopping.

As it turns out, yes. There is extra holiday change to be had. Or won, if you will. From “Sohl’s.” And you can find out all the details over on my giveaways page.

Edited to add: you can use the gift card to shop online even if you don’t have a “Sohl’s” in your area. Just FYI.

I really am working on some posts that don’t have the word “giveaway” in them. I really am. I think. At least I’m almost certain that I’ve thought about working on some posts that don’t have the word “giveaway” in them.

But since I made a few giveaway commitments earlier in the summer, I’m trying to (finally) take care of all my bloggy bidness – the bidness that I have maybe sort of put off just a little bit because, well, it was summertime and I worked very, very hard to balance all of our family fun with all the time we spent driving around town looking for places that sell Icees. Not to mention the fact that I had an EXTREMELY rigorous nighttime TV-watching schedule to maintain.

So anyway, I know that this week has been a little heavy on the giveaways, but as I often like to say: an ounce of giveaway procrastination is worth a pound of giveaway overkill.

Or something like that.

And if you’d like to win a $25 Marshalls gift card, just click on over to the giveaways page.

p.s. Tomorrow I’m giving away some music by someone whose name rhymes with MISTY DOCKELS. You can imagine my joy.

All righty, Ashley – you’re the lucky winner!

I’ll send you an email later today with details about how to claim your prize(s).

Congratulations!
