Hey Ya'll....It's GIVEAWAY Time!

I was given the opportunity to check out some websites this week that I had never been to before, but that I found all kinds of great deals at.

I found really nice kids bedding that I know my nieces and nephews would love, really neat kitchen stuff, like pots and pans, picnic baskets, aprons, and cookbooks, and very cool modern home accessories, such as artwork and office accessories that I want for my house.

For you, my lovely readers, I wanted to giveaway something that I would love to receive. So I am giving away, not just one, but two Paula Deen Kitchen Wisdom Cookbook and Recipe Journals. That's right, 2 of you will win this book!

What I love about this book is that it includes Paula Deen's recipes, which we all know are awesome, but in addition to that she shares some really neat tips such as what to do if your cake gets dry in the oven or you have people on their way over for dinner and your kitchen is full of smoke. And we all know that in this NewlyWife life, there are plenty of kitchen mishaps! There are even blank pages for you to write your own recipes!

To enter:

1 entry for either telling me you are already a follower or becoming a follower.

1 entry for delurking and asking me a question on my last post.

2 entries for blogging about my giveaway.

That's a total of 4 possible entries (you know in case you couldn't do 2+1+1 on your own). Don't forget, two people will be winning. Please leave a seperate comment for each entry. The winner will be chosen using random.org on Thursday, March 4. That's one week from today.

Let's Get To Know Each Other, Shall We?

I am totally lacking blog motivation lately. So to combat that, here's what we're gonna do. First of all, I want to "meet" my readers. Hello out there, yes you, I can see you, what's your name? How ya doin? De-lurk guys! Introduce yourselves. I'd like to know who you are. I think I read most of my follower's blogs, but if I don't, I'd like to check you out. One of the best parts of blogging is all the great people you get to know. So, do it! Say hi.

And while you're at it, I'm taking questions. Ask me anything. Really, anything. It can be totally random or it can be more deep. Whatever you want to know, ask. I know these have been happening a lot in our little blog world and usually I'm not a follower, but I think it's a great idea. I've never done one before and I have almost 50 followers now, so I'm sure some of you have questions. Or even if you don't, think of one. You know, to make me feel good. I will answer them a week from today.

And since I just gave you guys assignments, I'll let you in on a little something. There's going to be a giveaway happening soon! Get excited!
