My first Giveaway

I wanted to repost my first giveaway. I have gotten several emails from people that are having a hard time posting to blogs. So here it is, I hope everyone that wanted to can get to enter.
If you can't post and you email me that you would like to enter and are following my blog, I will keep those emails separate and still enter you. Blogger will hopefully get the issues fixed.

I think it is about time I got in gear and did my first giveaway. I keep saying to myself, "do it tonight" but then life sucks me in and I forget. Erma Bombeck wrote about me in her books. Or at least that is how I feel sometimes.

I want to say thank you to all the wonderful people I have "met" since blogging. It is so great having people to talk to and share ideas with that have similar interests. I have learned and laughed a lot in the past few months.
So now for the details.
1. You must be a follower, new followers welcome
2. Leave a comment on this post saying you'd like to be entered
3. If you post on your sidebar or do a post on your blog I will give you an extra entry.
4. You must live in the USA, for at least my first giveaway.  
5. If you post your favorite quote I will give you an extra entry. 

My favorite quote:

To be in your children's memories tomorrow
You have to be in their lives today.


I will leave it open until June 19th and drawing on June 20th. That will give me time to add other items to my drawing. 
I hope everyone is having a great week.
Again, thank you everyone for all you share.
Kat

  21. Hi Kat, Have been visiting your blog ever since you became a follower on mine but due to blogger problems could not follow you. This bright Sunday morning,,,,, I just became your newest follower. Love your giveaway and would be greatful if you entered my name. Haven't learned how to post on side bar but my favorite quote is not from anyone famous. In fact it comes from a best friend's mother who tells her daughter and me all the time when life gets us down. "Live in the Day" That's so hard sometime not to worry about tomorrow. Wishing you a great day and thanks for having a great giveaway.
