My First Giveaway!

Because it's Friday, and the weekend is almost here, it's a fabulous time for a Fabulous Friday Giveaway!  The folks as CSN contacted me a few days ago about hosting a giveaway for my wonderful blog readers.  CSN carries a huge variety of different products including mailboxes, housewares, home decor, shoes, bags, and baby and kid products... you name it, they probably have it.

After looking at the huge selection of products, I have decided to give away a cute tote by the designer Thomas Paul.   His designs are chic, clean, fun and modern.  Since I couldn't decide on which one, I'll let the winner decide.

One lucky winner will be randomly chosen to receive one of a choice of the two totes below.  The winner will be selected by my Personal Random Number Generator a.k.a. my Babe.

The totes are:
100% cotton fabric
14" W x 16" D


White tote with Black print on both sides and Lime Green trim and handle.
(simple, elegant, chic!)

OR

Russian doll graphic
White tote with Red print on both sides and Red trim handle
(how cute is she!)

To enter the giveaway, just leave me a comment letting me know what's on your bucket list.  What's a bucket list?  It's a list of things you want to do before you die, i.e. "kick the bucket".  Do you want to learn a new language?  Skydive?  Go on a safari?

So, what's on your bucket list?  Just tell me one or two, or list me your top ten if you want, I won't stop you.  By the way, having a kid/kids doesn't count.  Oh, and if you haven't seen the movie, "The Bucket List" starring Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, you should definitely check it out.

Good Luck peeps!!

p/s If you are leaving a comment anonymously, please include a first name or nickname and an email address, just in case there are more than one person commenting anonymously.

**Open to US and Canada residents only.  Giveaway closes at 11:59 PM CST Wednesday, February 10th.  Winner will be randomly selected and contacted on Thursday, February 11th.  Prize will be sent directly to winner by CSN (I will need to give them your contact info).

  6. How fun!! One of my major bucket list items is to ride in a hot air balloon...a major feat for me because I'm scared of heights. Other bucket list items include learning new languages (I like Russian and German) and to visit Romania, Ireland and Australia.

  7. Oooooh this is a fun one! Very creative!!

    #1-Go to Austrailia!
    (by the way, did you know kangaroos spend most of their gestation in their mothers pouch instead of the uterus. How cool would that be to be able to peek in on your baby's development every day! It would put a lot of us at ease, that's for sure!)
    #2-Do habitat for humanity work in Africa.
    #3-Have a trampoline! (I know, that one is ridulous but I've always wanted one!)

  19. Wow, a lot of answers. I have tried to do a bucket list before but I've never really typed it up like this. Lets see...

    In no particular order

    -Bring my DH home to the town I grew up in and kiss him on a "kissing gate". This is a weird kind of gate set up between fields to keep the sheep out but alow you to get over. I always wanted to kiss a guy on one of these but moved away when I was about 10.

    -Turn the key in the lock of my very own house. I always thought that looked like the most exciting part of owning your own place when I see it on TV

    -Go to Thailand, ride an elephant, and buy something made out of silk for a absurdly cheap price

    -Find my perfect pair of jeans

    -Finally graduate college and throw my cap

    -Plant a tree in my yard for every child I have so they can grow up together (sorry for the cheeseball factor here, but I can imagine that you guys would understand that one better then most people)

    -Make a perfect cake. When DH and I were just roommates he actually through a cake away that I made so that it wouldn't hurt my feelings that nobody ate it, lol.

    -Repair my relationship with my sister

    -Write and illustrate a children’s book. Even if no one else ever even reads it.
