Last day of Giveaways!

Today is the fifth and final day of giveaways...but you still have two more days to leave your comments on the prizes you would like to be considered for.

The prize for today is:



A one year subscription to Country Living Magazine. That's 12 issues of antiquing, decorating, recipes, and country charm. This is one of my favorite magazines and I thought I would share it with you. Who doesn't need a break and a little time to sit down with a good magazine (and maybe a delicious snack?).

How to enter: Leave your comment on this post. For an extra entry, blog about this giveaway and leave your link here. Giveaway is open until 7pm Pacific time on Sunday, Dec. 7. Winners will be announced on Monday, December 8th, so check back to see if you are a winner! If you haven't had a chance to enter the previous days' giveaways, you can still go back and leave your comment. Good luck!

The 4th Day of Giveaways...

Today's prize is:

Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born by Jamie Lee Curtis. This board book is adorable with fun illustrations accompanying a little girl asking her mom to tell her about the night she was born. This book is perfect for adopted children (as Jamie Lee's daughter was adopted) and offers a fun way to share the excitement of bringing home a brand new baby: getting the call in the middle of the night, flying to a different state to go to the hospital, bringing the new baby home on the plane, etc. This would make a great gift for newly adoptive parents.

How to enter: Leave your comment on this post. For an additional entry, post about this giveaway on your blog and leave a link to it here. If you missed a previous day's giveaway, you can go back and leave your comment on that day to enter for that prize. Giveaway ends at 7pm Pacific time on Sunday, December 7th. Winners will be announced on Monday, December 8th.

Tomorrow is the last day of the giveaway, so come back to check it out!
