Winners!

Now comes the super fun part of the Bloggy Giveaway Carnivals

ANNOUNCING THE WINNERS!

My first giveaway promised not one, but TWO prizes of a $10 iTunes credit. To win, commenters were asked to comment with the name and artist of their all-time favorite song.

The two winners are (drum roll, please…)

WINNER #1 (personally chosen by me) is TRICIA, who said both Bob Marley’s ‘Three Birds‘ and Van Morrison’s ‘Brown Eyed Girl‘ were her favorite songs. You ROCK, Tricia, because ‘Three Birds‘ was our friend Elaine’s favorite song, and ‘Brown Eyed Girl‘ is one of my all-time favorites. Way to go and congrats!

WINNER #2 (chosen by a non-participating blogger) is ALYCE, who loves ‘Dancing Queen‘ by ABBA. Your song selection reminded the person who chose your winning entry of her daughter who calls herself ‘[mommy's] dancing queen’ and who’s son recognizes the song from the very first note. Congratulations!

To win my second giveaway, participants were asked to watch a promo video and answer the following question:

“Which airline does Taylor the Mime dream about flying on?”

Of course the correct answer is “Air France” and the winning commenter, the recipient of a $25 gift card from Olive Garden is…

ANGIE who also says, “Good luck getting there, Taylor!” Thanks for entering and watching the video, I, too hope Taylor meets his goal to go to France in December.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and left comments on both contests. I love you guys!

Autumn Bloggy Giveaway Carnival

Welcome to my Autumn 2008 Bloggy Giveaway Carnival! It’s the most wonderful time of the year quarter, isn’t it? I love contests and giving away stuff - what fun!

TWO $10 iTunes gift cards

and TWO different winners (electronically delivered, of course)! To win:

1. Leave a comment, telling me the title and artist of your all-time favorite song.

A link to YOUR carnival would be appreciated, too, but not required.

I’m making this an easy one, but I promise that I won’t choose any entries that don’t name ONE specific song. If you love iTunes as much as I do (and boy do I spend waaaaaaaaaaaay too much money in the iTunes store) I hope you’ll enter my giveaway.

To Give a Heart of Gold

I’ve been collecting Willow Tree Angels for several years, and it all began with the “Heart of Gold” angel, a gift from my son.

“Heart of Gold” is the figurine of a boy, tenderly holding a gold heart in his hands… and when placed with my DH’s gift “Together” figures, it completed our little family and sits beautifully on a bookcase in the living room.

For my second Bloggy Carnival Giveaway (find the first one here) I’m gifting “The Heart of Gold” figure to anyone in the US or Canada (for shipping purposes) who participates.

Here’s how to enter:

1. Leave a comment on this post and tell me who your little boy (or big boy!) is, in your past or present, that has a heart of gold, and why.
2. Any linkback/trackback that comes directly from your website gives you a bonus entry.
3. Add my blog’s feed to your reader for a week or two to see if you’re interested in reading what I write about.

That’s it! Oh… and check out the hundreds of other Bloggy Giveaways you could win…

P.S. Comments/entries will close at midnight on April 27th…
