The
blogger bylaws state “To be a Big-Time Blogger (BTB), one must host a
giveaway.” (I haven’t read them, but I have heard that’s what somebody said
that they said.) Therefore, I am offering Jolly and Joy in this one-time
special exclusive Christmas-Will-Be-Here-Before-You-Know-It giveaway.
Jolly
and Joy are Christmas babies that were lovingly handmade by my little knitter,
Emma Conner, Crafter Extraordinaire (ECCE).
Jolly and Joy need a forever home. Would you like for them to live with
you?
To
enter the contest, you must comment on one of my blog posts. You must comment on Blabberings, not Facebook. You may comment on
as many posts as you wish. You will receive one (1) entry if you comment on
this post about Jolly and Joy.
You
may say anything you like, as long as it’s not unkind or Roll Tide or Roll
Tide Roll or any combination or abbreviation of said words. For example,
I
want them!
Good
job, ECCE!
God bless us every one.
You
will receive two (2) entries for any other post on which you comment; however, the
comment must let the BTB (me) know that you actually read the post. (Only one
comment per post, please.) For example,
The
dog in this story personifies the peace that she brings you.
You
are by far the prettiest King Girl.
Bonus
entries will be awarded if the BTB (me) LOLs. (This is purely subjective.)
The
contest will run until 12:00 pm (noon) CST, Sunday, October 20, 2013. Prepare
to be pestered ad nauseam via Facebook or just block me.
A low-tech strip of paper with the entrant's name on it will be placed (1 or 2
per comment, as stated above) in my pink flamingo purse and will be drawn at
random by ECCE, because she will be home next weekend.
The
winner will be announced sometime that afternoon (probably after my nap), and
must pinkie promise to take good care of the babies. Jolly and Joy will be
transported to the winner’s home via US Postal Service eventually--depending on
what all I can come up with to procrastinate, because it’s much more fun to
blog about them than to run errands, and they’re So Darn Cute (SDC) that I
might not actually want to part with them.
Good
luck! I hope you win!
I am a friend, fellow blogger, and I really want to win. Please tell ECCE that I have always loved her in all her creative genius.
ReplyDeleteCan ECCE knit me a SDC houndstooth dress before 11/30/13?
ReplyDeleteClever the way you avoided the bad words, but got your point across. I like clever. You might get an extra point for that.

ReplyDeleteI want them!
Good job, ECCE!
God bless us every one.
Cheater. I might take points away for that.
DeleteCeleste, I do read your blog when I get a chance, I find humor and insight in your postings and you are by far the best looking friend of my younger sister. Jolly and Joy would make a great gift for my roommate for Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteHave you read "Say It Ain't So?" It's got Becky Byrd all in it. Read it an comment and up your chance!
DeleteYou also mentioned her in "A Story about Angie, Daddy, and Annie Armstrong"
DeleteAnother 2 entries for knowing that!
Delete(Who would I be without a childhood full of Becky Byrd?!)
I love ECCE’s Christmas babies! As anyone who has ever been to my house at Christmas will tell you, they’d definitely have a forever home here. Once a Christmas item shows up in our house, it is forever loved and displayed, even after the felt frocking has worn off of the little plastic deer that’s glued to a slice of pine tree with the plastic pine needles that have started to look worse than Charlie Brown’s Christmas tree. I think they’d sit on “drunken” Santa’s lap to maybe hide his beard that was stained yellow in 1991 when my toddler daughter force-fed him apple juice from her shoe (because he didn’t have a cup, of course).

I enjoy your blog and your wonderful sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteIf there's one thing I appreciate, it's the clever use of acronyms (CUA).
