Spring Has Sprung Giveaway!!


I don't know about you all, but this has been a l o n g winter! It is finally, finally starting to feel like spring around here, and to celebrate...I'm having a giveaway!!

One lucky reader will receive all this loot!

Let's take a closer look, shall we? Up for grabs is:

a spring-y lined basket, jelly bean eggs, spring cookie cutters, cookie sprinkles, Reeses pieces in the cute carrot bag, a magnetic notepad, a copy of Jodi Picoult's The Pact, and a $10.00 Wal-Mart gift card!

Look at the cuteness of this gift card. It doubles as a red poppy seed packet. How clever!
Want it? I bet you do! All you need to do is leave a comment between now and 9:00 p.m. Thursday, April 9. Easy like a zucchini martini.

Ready?

Set?

GO!

Edited to add: First of all, I need to apologize to the people in the Midwest. About an hour after I posted this "It's finally spring" giveaway, I saw the weather report. Yeah. Here's Monday's forecast-

High: 38°Low: 30°

Light Snow

Flurries & snow showers

But, the giveaway goes on!

Secondly, apparently I need to be more thorough with my rules and regulations. Some people (coughSteffcoughcoughDeb) are anal and need firm guidelines. So here they are:

One comment per person.
Contest ends next Thursday, April 9 at 9:00 p.m. EST.
Winner will be chosen with the Random Number thingamajig.
I think that covers it. Now go forth and comment! But only once, you big cheaters.

    In fact I just did a post about it on my blog a few days ago.
    We have snow right now about 40 mins away from my house, it hasn't hit here yet but I'm sure it will sooner or later.
    I don't even see sun in our near future. :(
