ABC-Clothing

Archive for the ‘Giveaways’ Category

Whoo hoo!!!  Time for another blog hop.  I love these things.  But this one is a bit different than those that have come before.  This one is about doing a little something nice for those who enter this giveaway.  This can be for one other blogger, or for several of them.  My goal is to do something for at least 5 of my fellow bloggers on this list.  It could be more, but that is my goal.

So here’s how this game is played.  First of all, follow the hostesses of this linky.  Those gorgeous ladies would be Jennifer from Sweep Tight and Dawn from Just Married With Coupons.  It would also be nice to add their blog buttons to your site, just cause you’re such a nice person.

From there, add your site and your own button to the list at the bottom of the page.  Now for the Blog It Forward part.  Go check out the websites of the others in the list.  Then you can either tell your facebook friends about their giveaways or recipes, tweet one of their posts, or do a little write up on your blog about them (which is what I’m going to do).

Now it would just be plain rude of me to ask you to do all this if I wasn’t to do it myself, so here we go.  I hope I can do justice to at least 5 of these outstanding bloggers.

1.) A Steady Hand
As a fellow crochet-er, I had to add this one.  ABC-Clothing is not just about clothes, it’s about making ourselves more beautiful than we already are by any means possible.  This includes items such as these awesome crocheted headbands.  I just learned (after trying for 30 years) to make granny squares, so I think these are just adorable.  I think I’m kind of jealous, but that’s okay, I’ll get over it.

2.) Kona Comments
I’m adding this young lady for one reason and one reason only….she needs more followers and I know how that feels.  It sucks trying to get people to follow you on GFC, especially when you’re not one of the “elite”.  I know that I still get excited with each and every follower I get on this site and all my other sites too.  So this is to say, “Please follow this young lady”.  Thank you!!!

3.) Mommy Loves Giveaways
This site is giving away a box filled with Pure Romance.  I had to write about this, not just as an entry into this giveaway, but because this would be a great item to have as my hubby and I are 17 days away from our 21st wedding anniversary.  And even now, he still makes me blush.  LOL  This one ends on May 10th, so hurry.

4.) Liz Marie
I liked this site from the moment I saw it.  I’m always trying to do my part to reduce/reuse/recycle, but I loved Liz’s idea for painting mason jars and using them as vases and plant starter jars.  All she did was painted them in white and they were ready to go.  Very chic, very elegant, and very cool.

5.) ChariT’s Inspirational Creations
I was impressed with the earrings I saw when I first stopped by this site.  They were cute little hoops with dangling crowns in the middle and I thought they were a really neat idea for Mother’s Day.  Then, as I was scrolling down the post, I saw the other Mother’s Day earrings this brilliant lady had made.  These are THE most awesomest–most gorgeous peacock feather earrings EVER!!!!  I grew up in the country and my grandmother had peacocks on her farm.  We had feathers all over the place and I miss having them around.  I love these earrings and I know you will too.

Okay kids, there you go.  Be sure to not only stop by these blogs, but check out the rest of the bloggers and their giveaway links.  Because it’s not really a blog hop if you don’t hop around.

I love jewelry, especially rings.  My problem is that I’ve got to be very careful about what I wear as I’m allergic to certain metals.  But for a Mother of Pearl ring, I’m willing to risk it.  I just came across a giveaway going on at Ringspotters and had to get in on it.  Mother of Pearl was my grandmother’s favorite “gemstone”.  I was much older before I realized it wasn’t actually pearl, but it’s still gorgeous.

So, how do you enter??  Easy!  Check out the post and “like” it at the end of it.  Then head over to their Facebook page, “like” them there and tell them your favorite gemstone from their wall.  Finally, get your friends and family to join in on the fun and let Ringspotters know who they are (if they sign up).  And in that way, let me know if you sign up from this post so I can let them know.

Also, keep an eye on this site throughout the rest of the spring and through the summer as they’ll be giving away a ring every other week.  On every other Monday, they’ll be showcasing a new ring so there will be plenty of chances to win.  Because if you’re trying to spot just the right ring for your collection, you’ve got to check out Ringspotters.

My daughter and I have been wearing hair ties, especially Scrunci’s, for years.  We both have relatively long hair and we’re both waitresses in the real world.  So we’re always looking for new ways to put our hair up and still look presentable for the public.  So when I heard that Stacy from Survey Junkie was holding a giveaway for 2 of these brand new items, I had to jump on board.

This little giveaway is open until 11:59pm EST on April 16th.  There are several ways to win, but you have to go over to Stacy’s site to see them all.  In the event that you don’t get there on time, or you just don’t win, it’s okay.  You can always check out the Scrunci website and pick up your own Bendini’s for around $5.00.
