You'll REALLY Want To Read This

In honor of the following 3 things:
  • My 300th post (this one!)
  • My 10 followers (double digits, baby!)
  • My birthday (12 days!)
I am hosting my very first giveaway and Q&A session.

This could very well flop since my readership isn't anything spectacular but I have a few faithfuls and I needed to commemorate all those things up there somehow.

So, the details...

What are we playing for? We are playing for a box of My Favorite Things (kinda like Oprah's, but on a much smaller scale). Ok, ok, so you won't know exactly what you will win, but you have options. If you win, you get a box of My Favorite Things in one of these 3 categories:
  • Home
  • Kitchen
  • Bath/Body/Beauty
After you pick which you want, then it's up to me to pick what favorites you get! Sound like a plan?

How do you enter?

Ok, here's where the Q&A comes in. Ask me questions, people! Every question you ask me is one entry. You must ask at least 1 question to be entered. They can all be in one comment. I just ask that you keep the questions respectable.

Want extra entries?

Tell me you're a follower for an extra entry. If you aren't a follower, then go ahead and follow me! Just make sure to comment and let me know you're a new follower.

How about a few more extra entries...just to make it interesting?

Blog about this. Tell all your readers to head over here and get to know me. I mean, no pressure of course. If you don't like me, then I understand not wanting to share me...but then why are you reading? Hm. Make sure to let me know you blogged about this cause you'll get an extra 3 entries.

Honestly, guys, you've got a pretty good chance here. I mean even if just half my followers enter...that's only 5 people. That's good odds if you ask me!

So, think it over. I'm giving you until 9 o'clock on the day before my birthday to get your questions and other entries in. When's my birthday? August 26th. So, get everything to me by 9PM CST on August 25th so I can try to get the Q&As all together and choose a winner for my birthday.

Questions? You know how to reach me. I hope you all play along...I mean, can you really deny the birthday girl who's posted 300 times and has reached double digits in followers? I thought not.

Have at it!

Well, you already know I'm a follower, haha.

Let's see...

What's your favorite color? What's your favorite part of being married? Do you plan on getting any more pets soon? How soon do you plan on having kids?
Who did your blog layout (it's cute!)?

300 posts?!? Whoa!

I follow. I consider myself one of the lucky 10. :) You inspired me to change my font. People who don't follow are missing out.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? What's the biggest life lesson you have learned? What's your favorite thing about military life?

I'm thinking the low number of followers gives us all a higher chance to win something. And, uh, you know I follow you.

What do you like about life in the military and
what do you dislike about it?
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you want to go?
Did you have a honeymoon? (am I that forgetful???)
Did you ever get your skin care stuff taken care of?
What actor/musician is your famous crush?
Why did you pick "faith, hope, & love" as your blog title?
And where in Texas is home?

Mary said...

Oh my, I feel like there aren't any questions left to ask! I follow, and really enjoy it!

So, would you/have you ever considered joining the military?
What did you go to school for?
What is your favorite book?

1. What's your favorite thing about Ft. Polk? Your least favorite?
2. Any more running in the future for you? As in a 5K?

4. If you were a spice, which one would you be and why?
5. What's the most unusual thing you've ever eaten?
