GIVEAWAY INFO...

HI EVERYONE!
If you've been here already and left a comment...YOUR IN!
If you're just getting here....

On the 22nd of this month it will be ONE YEAR that I've been a BLOGGER and I've loved every bit of it, especially meeting all of you.

And, I've been telling the story of my 2x great grandparents, starting with the post CANUTE AND SARAH. So I thought it would be fun to have the giveaway things focus around that. And sorry, I can't send you a covered wagon, a log house, or a wheelbarrow full of cow dung to keep you warm...

 But, I could send you a sun bonnet like she has on...Really!

There's a store in the town of Ephraim, 20 miles from me, that will tie into the story I'm telling. It was built between 1871 and 1872. Through the years the town has used it for so many things. One of them Canute was very involved in...that's yet to be told.

This is what it looked like when Canute and Sarah were alive..

 

I have a few postcards like this and will send one to the winners also...

Until a few years ago it was in such disrepair, they were going to tear it down. But it has such a historical significance.. so a group of people bought it, restored it, and now it's on the State Historical Society's Register. It's also a little gift shop, called the Co-op.
98% of things sold there are handmade by women in this county.
I'll take a picture of how it looks now in a few days..

But first, I need to clear something up...
So many of you have told me I should publish the story of Canute and Sarah. Well, I'd love to, but it's already been done. I think I've said that's where I'm getting most of my information for telling the story. It may have gotten lost in all the words somewhere.

My Great Aunt Edith wrote this book sometime in the late 1950's...

She's my grama's youngest sister...they were her grandparents. She didn't publish many of them, but this is the one she gave to my grama and it's been passed down to me.
So, all the credit goes to Aunt Edith...she passed away in 1973.
But I'm sure if she can,
she's smiling at me (:

NOW to the prizes. I went to the Co-op store on Saturday and found some fun things. You'll have to excuse all the photo's cause I was in a hurry to get this posted....

There will be FOUR (4) giveaways for my  1 Year Blogaversary...once a week for the first three weeks in March. Then the fourth on the Anniversary day...March 22nd. All the prizes will come from the handmade items in the Co-op.

WEEK ONE... Monday, March 1st - Sunday, March 7th

Don't know if you can read it so good but...I wonder if people really eat that!?

There are some good ones in there too but some of them I had to laugh at...

So there ya go...

Ok, if you're one of my FOLLOWERS and you COMMENT about...well, anything, you will be entered. I'll check out the random thing but if that's too complicated or has too many restrictions, I'll have my grand daughter Katie pick the winner this coming Sunday night..the 7th

Now, if you don't win the first week, come back the second and that will count as 2 chances! And so on until the 22nd. Then I'll take ALL the comments and pick one...well, unless you've already won...

Ok, I'm going to TRY to post a little more of the story....

But I still need to eat and do a few other things. So if I don't get it done tonight, I will after work tomorrow. 

Sheesh I talk a lot (o:

Hope to see you in the Comment thingy!

GOOD LUCK

I'll see ya yesterday...
