MY FIRST EVER GIVEAWAY!!

Posted on July 1, 2008 by thekoolaidmom

Borders Gift Card

 $20 GIFT CARD FOR BORDERS

 Welcome to my FIRST EVER BLOG GIVEAWAY!!!

This is my first blog giveaway, and I’m excited to be doing it!  I want to say thanks to everyone who reads and comments on my blog, and to share the love I went to Waldenbooks today and got a $20 Gift Card.  The one I’ve got has the Lorax on it and he says “I speak for the trees”.   They didn’t have a picture of it at the BordersOnline store… bummer.  But anyway, I want to GIVE a lucky reader FREE BOOK MONEY!!

 LoraxThe Lorax speaks for the treesSo, to the rules: 

    1.  Leave a comment on this post as your official entry.  If you don’t leave a comment here, then I won’t know you’ve entered.

    2.  You will get an extra entry per comment anywhere else on my blog.  Remember to comment here first, though!

    3.  Post a link to the contest on your blog and get 5 extra entries.  Make sure to let me know you’ve posted the link so I can credit you.

4.  Open to anyone, anywhere, so long as you have a way to get mail.  I will mail the card to the winner, so you have to be able to get it. 😀

5.  All entries must be received by July 31st.  I will draw the winning name August 1st and post it. 

6.  If I have a large enough response for this, I will choose a second or third winner and award $10 and $5 gift cards accordingly.

 

You could be a winner!

UPDATE: The contest has ended and the winners have been posted… Check them out!

    Haha, well, it goes against the TBR-pile-decreasing policy I *just* set for myself, but what can I say, I’m an addict, and I can’t turn down the chance for free book money. Count me in.

    I’ll blog about this tomorrow, but I would love to win this. Not because I need more books, because I don’t, but because I adore Dr. Seuss and The Lorax is one of my very favorites.

    WOW Koolaidmom, awesome giveaway!! What could be better than book money???? LOVE IT!

    The Lorax (“I speak for the trees!”) is my 9 year old daughter’s all time favorite book. She read it to her 3rd grade class this year when she was The Big Cheese (each kid gets a week to share about themselves and be The Big Cheese).

    Free books are good; choosing your own free books even better. I figure when I have read all my books and cooked all the recipes torn out of my magazines, my time is up. Therefore, I will keep collecting books and ripping recipes and thereby, ensure eternal life! just kidding, there will be books in Heaven, ya know.

    Book money is always great..between my husband and son I almost never get to buy books for me. They gobble up all the book money…but I love to see them reading so it is worth it. Thanks.
