Since we've done this before, you might recall that included in CSN's 200+ on-line stores is a plethora of great products offered at wonderful prices.
Today I took a long (slightly drooling) look around some of their sites including the one for dinnerware! If I could win this $60 gift certificate I might be tempted to pick this wonderul Le Creuset pitcher...
... because I could use it to serve iced tea or to make a colorful display of sunflowers or zinnias.But you can pick whatever you like if you are selected as the winner.
So here's all the blah, blah, blah about this fun giveaway and how to get 5 chances to win:
Leave a comment on this post telling me if you liked my 6 word story - 1 point
Leave another comment telling me you follow my blog - 1 point
Leave another comment telling me what you'd pick from CSN if you win - 1 point
Leave a link on your blog directing your blog visitors here for the giveaway and let me know that you did - 1 point
And lastly, leave a final comment on my post telling me what beverage you would serve from this pitcher - 1 point
Yea. I know this might be a bit of work. But do you know leaving comments technically kinda/sorta counts as aerobic exercise? It does. I'm certain of it.
You can enter this contest through midnight, Saturday, July 24. Winner to be announced sometime on Sunday, July 25.
And I can attest that the e-mail with your prize code is sent out almost right away by the good folks at CSN so you can get your prize of choice ordered right away!
And...
I never said this post was short and sweet. That particular description was ONLY for my six word story. Just click here to go over to Pat's Critter Alley blog to check it out! And take kleenex along. It is an emotional read!
ha!
Good luck!
Hello!!!! And congrats on your win! Was a very short story.
ReplyDeleteOf course I follow your blog! Its the best!
ReplyDeleteStill have not went shopping to look for a dehydrator and would still like to win one. Same as last time. I know I am boring.
ReplyDeleteI think some sangria would be a great drink to serve in that pretty pitcher.
ReplyDeleteI will try and the a link on my blog today after work for your give-away.
ReplyDeleteHI
ReplyDeleteI'd follow you to the ends of the earth. You know that right?
ReplyDeleteAh heck, I'd be a good wife and put iced tea in the pitcher for Running Man. Diet Coke would get all flat.
ReplyDeleteThere's a great bathroom ceiling light with exhaust fan we need over there. I just don't know if RM is up to installing the damn thing. It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWell, I can't believe you JUST said six words but I am going to check it out:) Let's see, I have to do some more stuff so that I can win this giveaway! Gotta run and see what that is:)
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day my friend! HUGS!

ReplyDeleteWhat would I buy? I can't remember if that was one of the questions but I will tell you anyway:) I would buy the blow-up pool slide!

ReplyDeleteI am a stalker...everyday! =)
ReplyDeleteI would pick that blue pitcher too...juice would be what I fill it with, until Adam found it...then it would be empty!
ReplyDeleteI thought your story was terrific. Did you do the photo as well?
ReplyDeleteYou know i am a faithful follower!
ReplyDeleteI picked the Abra Cadabra Mediterranean Gift set, it is darling and you could put 4 different munchies in each bowl,it has a cool square serving platter and it is 61 dollars!

ReplyDeleteI loved your 6 words!
ReplyDeleteI would serve good 'ole southern sweet tea in that pitcher!
Jenny your six word story was right on the mark! I've used lots of "water proof" mascaras that have failed..lol! That was a good illustration that Pat used to accompany it.
ReplyDeleteI have been your follower since day one. :)
I looked at all the bakewear in the CNS store and I woukld but the dup bundt pan set and the ebiskiver pan if I won $60.
The blue pitcher you chose is also very pretty. I think I'd serve a nice cold sangria in it as it has been so hot these days, and I have a lot of fruit tbat would go good in wine.
Stay cool!
♥ Pat
Yes, I loved your story. You crazy girl.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I follow your blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat would I buy from CSN? Something pretty. I DO like the pitcher!
ReplyDeleteIf you were coming over, I would serve you lemonade made with agave nectar in my beautiful blue pitcher. If Deb or my sisters were coming over, I would serve margaritas.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how to link to your blog or I would. I'm not very smart!
P.S. SOOOO glad that aerobic exercise saved me a sweaty walk today!
ReplyDeleteHa! You learn something new everyday! I just posted a link. Not as stupid as mom said I was!

Can mojitos be served out of pitchers?! If so, I would use your pitcher to pour myself a fabulous one! Otherwise, sweet tea will do just fine! :)
ReplyDelete~angela @ peonypatch
I think your story is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI follow on gfc
ReplyDeleteI would serve cucumber water. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI definitely liked your story.
ReplyDeleteI would use the pitcher to serve lemonade.
ReplyDeleteI'd get a food processor from CSN.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun...I went to check it out, thinking how could Miss Jenny, our friend who likes to talk, convey anything in only six words...okay, I was most impressed. You did it!
ReplyDeleteMight I suggest you try a different mascara. I've had some that held up pretty well. Now, if I could just find one that would help keep your darn eyes from getting all swollen when you cry. That would be a winner.
Oh, and I am definitely a follower of your blog!
ReplyDeleteWell, Jenny, it's hard to narrow down what I'd serve in this pitcher...maybe sangria with a Spanish meal

ReplyDeleteLOL Loved! the story...so true! and congrats on the win!
ReplyDeleteI follow! Because you're just too dang cute not too!
ReplyDeleteWith $60 smakers I could get a few things....got my eye on an easy to clean litter box...which both Pixie the human type person and Pixie the kitty would prolly both love...and this really cool black kitty flashlight...again, something both us Pixies would enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI'd prolly cheat and go get some yummo peach tea from Olive garden...put it in the pitcher....and make with the acting like I made it :D
ReplyDeleteBy the by.... have I told you lately your taste in music is wonderful and makes me want to dance?
Jenny, that short story is a hoot! LOL! I love it. I'm so glad you won $25.
ReplyDeleteI don't even have to go to the site to tell you what I like because I was trolling over there the other day. If I were the winner, I would buy some of their white china. I have Wedgwood's Nantucket and would love to add to that. I also love a less expensive pattern they have whose name escapes me right now, but I would tablescape with those pieces. They also have a neat set of amethyst colored goblets that I would love to have. This could be endless. It's china!
XO,
Sheila :-)
P.S. What mascara was it so I won't buy it??
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny,
ReplyDeleteI've decided to buy a new hand mixer, the Cuisinart Power Advantage 7-Speed Hand Mixer in White, if I win your giveaway. Both my mixers, like me are wearing out. Old age isn't fun for my appliances or for me...but, at least, they don't have arthritis.
Jenny I LOVED your six word story! It said so much in only six words. It made me laugh (not sure that's where you were going but I laughed). Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteI am a most loyal and faithful follower oh worthy one!
ReplyDeleteI have my eye on a clear glass pitcher with matching glasses that have bees on them.
ReplyDeleteI have posted a link to your awesome giveaway! Yee Haw!!
ReplyDeleteI would get Mrs. C's recipe for wine coolers...yes I would!!! That is what I would put in that pretty blue pitcher.
ReplyDeleteI love your 6 word story because it is oh so you to the max!
ReplyDeleteI follow you but you already know that.
ReplyDeletewhen they contacted me for a possible giveaway they didn't offer that much money and I was oh so coveting the Le Crueset casserole dishes but was also had my eye on the meat thermometers.
ReplyDeleteI would serve cucumber lemonade! (I have an abundance of cucumbers to use up from my garden!)
ReplyDeleteAnd the link will be on my final Alphabe-Thursday post!!!!
ReplyDeleteWooo-whooo! 6 words...that is impressive!
ReplyDeleteThat pitcher is a beautiful color!
Oh, and for your information, it is for only you I would jump through these hoops!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Jenny! I love that you won for your 6 word story!!! That is spectacular!

ReplyDeleteThanks for choosing something so perfect, you rock!
It is difficult to write succinctly. Good job, you were able to touch memories and make the reader curious.
ReplyDeleteI was just telling my daughter I want an Ebelskiver...it is a pan that makes these puffs that you can put jam, savory fillings, chocolate, all kinds of goodness. I was telling her I don't need another gadget...but if I WON one, now, how could I say no?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, am I a follower? I should be, right? OK, you convinced me, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog from Melinda's. Great free advertising. Loved the 6 word story. And what a story it told, too. I cried through the entire thing (grin)!
