My BIG Easter Giveaway....

OK, so Chris let the cat out of the bag and Wished me my first Official Happy Birthday today... Yup! ~I'm turning 30 (Yuck!) on Easter Sunday. So, I thought I’d do something special for my blog friends. I decided to do another giveaway! Hopefully you guys are more excited about this one than the last, I was kinda sad to see that so few people entered…….Oh well, gave the ones that did enter a better chance of winning! So….now onto this one!

Here’s how this giveaway is going to work….In order to enter this giveaway…..You must leave me a comment on this post, and tell me when Your birthday is….I’m not asking the year here….just the Month and day……..That's it...Simple enough, huh?

OK...So what's in my box?? I've been going through my stash all week, 'cleaning' out my treasures. And I figured I'd put them all together and use them as my Easter Giveaway. There's some really fun stuff in here. Actually there's so much in here~ I'm afraid it would be easier to just show you instead of telling you.......

First are the store bought items... Beads, shells, TVs.......Some Easter straws....

Then we have some handmade goodies.....My favorite is the framed picture of Mt. Rushmore...I added in one of the llamas I've met along my way...LOL, even made him look like Sherlock Homes, hehehe

And I also went through my stash of material, and cut out some squares. Some squares are big, some are little.....
And who knows what else I will throw in? We leave in the morning for DC......And we'll be home early next week. First thing Wednesday morning (April 15th) , I'll put all the names in a hat, and let Cora draw a name out. Sound good??

I hope everyone enjoys their Easter! Remember to share your candy! You believe my kids hide their candy from me.....Brats!! LOL, they've gotten smarter over the years, when they were little I could get away with it, now that their older....those turds notice when something is missing...LOL

Happy Easter!!!
Katie

Wow - what a great giveaway and it looks like I am the first to comment. I hope you have a very Happy Birthday and a wonderful Easter Katie. My birthday is February 11, 1943. I have no problem with putting the year down as at my age - who cares! Now make sure you shake up the box real good so that my name doesn't get buried on the bottom since it was the first one. LOL

Happy Birthday!!!

30 isn't so bad. It didn't even bother me when the ladies at work trashed by desk,put a "GUESS HOW OLD I AM" banner across my cabinets, and left an assortment of big blatant 30 items around. They left candy, cards and gifts too so all was fogotten.

Mine is Sept 21, sumemr ends & I'm a year older :(

Happy Birthday! I just had my 65th on March 24, and made a resolution to make gifts for each of my nieces and nephews so they will have something personalized, made by me, as a keepsake when I am gone.There will be a private letter from me to them enclosed. So you see, I agree it's a good idea to give something back for the privelege of enjoying another year of a good life.
All my best, Sherry

Thank you for giving us presents for your birthday. That is a treat.

My birthday is July 17. I just started graduate school full time. It is a scary place to be after not having been in school for .... a very long time.

Hope you have a wonderful 30th birthday and year.
