My First Give Away



I have this thing in my head that I read once - something about how all of us would like a reputation for generosity and we'd all like to buy it cheap. That pretty much sums up today's post and me, for that matter. Another thought by novelist Charles Dudley Warner has me pegged as well, when he said, "I am convinced that the majority of people would be generous from selfish motives, if they had the opportunity."

So, with that "you-can't-get-somethin'-for-nothin'" attitude firmly in place, I'd like to offer my first ever GIVEAWAY! For your chance to win a signed copy of Stan's book, The Find, simply perform these two tasks:

(1) Leave a comment on this post, and
(2) click the "follow" button at the top right of my blog

One of my lucky blog followers will be selected to win the autographed book. If you already follow my blog, then you're in the running and if you're not yet a follower, join the ranks and show me some love - cuz I'm needy like that!

Once again, I'll be selecting a reader and sending them a signed copy of Stan's book, The Find. The winner will be randomly selected on July 13th and the winner's name will be posted on the blog the day of the event, Tuesday, July 14th. Thanks for reading my blog and good luck!

Oh my gosh, am I the first comment? How humbling! I love your blog, and can't wait to see what you do with those fantastic blue glasses.

Brilliant idea LeAnn! My posse bailed for next week so my chances to get to Austin before Saturday look dim. I'll let you know if things change. Sounds like a lot of fun.

I'm kinda' excited - I've seen you all over the place recently...came by your booth not knowing who you were at the CWGS. Saw you and your daughter (?) digging through linens in the piles. Then, I came across your furniture in a flickr group, and headed here to your blog (which I guess I've already been getting in my email). I'm just now putting everything together. Didn't realize you're in Austin!

I love what you do! (: Thanks for the inspiration!
