Giveaway is now over!
I have some very exciting news for you! csnstores.com contacted me and wondered if I would be willing to do a giveaway or product review on my blog. I chose the giveaway because I wanted to be able to thank you, my readers, for honoring me by taking the time to read what I post. I do really appreciate you all and when you actually take that extra little step and leave a comment, it really makes my day. I enjoy learning things from you and learning more about you through those comments. And just for whatever it's worth, I'd love to "meet" some more of you through the little comments option!
Anyway...this was about a giveaway wasn't it? Well, here's the deal. One of you will win your choice of one product worth $50 or less from the huge selection from csnstores.com. And I am serious when I say huge selection! You will be able to find everything from bedding and kitchen gadgets, to entertainment centers and nursery decor, to children's toys and clothing, to you-name-it-they-probably-have-it!
I really enjoyed perusing their websites and found lots of very neat things. Just for some ideas of what that $50 might get you, here are some items that caught my eye.
Melissa & Doug Cutting Food Box Play Set
Settlers of Catan Board Game

My husband and I are Navy veterans and the parents of 4 kids ranging in age from 17 to 10. The kids are 3 boys and one tough as nails gal who keeps the boys in line(seriously they'd rather tick each other off then make their sis mad)We live in SW Va. My hubby presently works for Norfolk Southern so frequently spends time away from home(although nothing like a 6 month deployment anymore thankyouverymuch).
ReplyDeleteOh and I keep seeing these CSN giveaways and they are driving me cra-zy. So many neat things.
I am a housewife and I am trying to be a good steward of my husband's resources. I am also pregnant with a baby on the way in June.
ReplyDeleteI'm an avid reader. Thanks for the give-away!

ReplyDeleteThis would be lovely to win! One of my favorite pleasures is shopping online. I avoid the hassles and crowds of stores. And I have time to think carefully over a purchase before buying. Random fact about me: I love spring and I always know it's arrived when I can wear flipflops and I break out my bright orange nail polish.

I grew up on the Big Island of Hawaii from 9 years of age to 18. Here are some of the fun things I did when I lived there: scuba diving, fishing, cliff jumping, flying over Kiluea Crater in a helicopter when it was erupting, spear fishing, surfing, canoe paddling, watching the triathalon, skinny dipping and star watching to name a few.
