Surprise Giveaway

Edited to add - I guess I should add what I am celebrating. My 400th blog post came and went without much fanfare. Apparently when it comes to blogging I am not as organized as my friend Julie so I do not have a blog hop organized. I hope you will find a chance to celebrate with me.

I had planned to post this earlier this month, but I seems like by the time I commute home and take care of chores, dinner, etc., time evaporates away and it is time to go to bed to get some rest so I can be ready start it all over again the next day. I know most of you know how it feels to be on the hamster wheel.

Here are the details about the surprise I mentioned in my September newsletter.

I will be drawing three winners (I am sorry, but you can only win once). I have a few retired stamp sets that I have never used that need to find good homes.

You can enter the drawing several ways and you can be entered into the drawing multiple times. The entry period runs from September 15 through 11:59pm on October 17, 2014; I back-dated the start date a bit so you can get a couple of extra entries if you choose.

• One entry for following my blog (you will find the opt ins on the right sidebar). Please note if you subscribe via email I do not know how to get a list of the 17 subscribers so please send me a note letting me know you are a subscriber
• One entry for liking my Facebook Page Brenda's Paper Crafts
• One entry to subscribing to my monthly newsletter (subscription information is below)
• One entry for every blog post you comment on from September 15 through October 17, 2014; if you post as anonymous, please "sign" your post with your initials or first name and last initial so I can give you credit
• No purchase is necessary to be entered, but if you purchase Close To My Heart products from me (either via my OBA or a Gathering) you will get one entry for each $25 (before tax and shipping) you spend

This giveaway is not sponsored by Close To My Heart, Facebook, Blogger/Google or any other corporation. I am sorry to my friends outside the USA, but this giveaway is only open to those in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam and U.S. military bases.

I will conduct the drawing by October 20 and will post the winner's names on my blog on Monday, October 20. The winners will have until noon on Thursday, October 23 to email me to claim their prize; if they do not contact me an alternate winner(s) will be selected and their name(s) posted Friday, October 24. The winners will be able to select their stamp set from a list of stamp sets I email to them and the stamp set will be delivered if the winner(s) are nearby or mailed via USPS at my expense to the address provided.

If you would like to receive a monthly newsletter from me which tells you about upcoming Close To My Heart product promotions and blog hops that I am scheduled to participate in, please let me know by sending me a note
