Here a giveaway, there a giveaway, and possible redemption for Scoop!

This single blog post title alone should give you a pretty good idea why the subtitle of my blog is "Off on my tangent." Before you start you might want to tinkle.

OK. Are you back? Then wooo-eeeee! Take a deep breath, honey. We got a few things to talk about here!

I like CSN. I like that they like me. I like that they like you. And I like my Cousins little cottage made out of doors AND she is having a little giveaway on her blog. No, don't get too excited...it's cool...but it's not the actual cottage.

But before you run over there we're gonna talk about CSN first.

One of the products that CSN has on their 200+ websites is Corelle dishes. No, don't turn up your nose. Corelle is not like you remember it. Corelle has some wonderful patterns now. And I found a perfect one for my Cousin to use in her cottage. It's this pattern called Impressions.

See, I didn't lie. Cute pattern, right?

So to win a $65.00 gift card to CSN to use on anything you like, including your own set of Corelle gift card or anything you find at their other stores (they have killer kitchen stores, too!), here's a lot of ways to win:

Entry #1. MANDATORY. Go to the Corelle site on CSN and come back and tell me in a comment on this post what pattern you like. Click here to go to the dinnerware section.

Entry #2. MANDATORY. You must be a follower. It's not because I'm on a control trip here, it's so I can reach you. Although it would be nice to get over that pesky 900 mark. But you can un-follow me later if you want, I'm cool with that. Tell me you're a follower in a comment on this post for a second chance.

Entry #3. OPTIONAL. Enter my cousins giveaway and come back and tell me you did on this post.

Entry #4. OPTIONAL. Put up a link and tell your blog followers about both giveaways. You'll have to tell me you did on this post, or I'll never know. I'm pretty gullible so I'll probably believe you even if you didn't but is it really worth the risk of bad blog karma?

Entry #5 and #6. OPTIONAL. Come back to this post and leave a comment on Saturday and Sunday saying hi.

GIVEAWAY WILL BE DRAWN ON SUNDAY NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 12TH sometime after 6 PM MST.

Next.

I was telling you the other day about my Cousins amazing cottage made out of old doors.

AND she is having a little giveaway. For her giveaway you have to think of a cool quote to put on a specific door. Her contest runs through Sunday night EST, AND all four pages of cottage pictures are linked. It is worth your time just to look at the project even if you stink at quotes. Be sure to go look! It is just ridiculously cool!

Just click here to go to Allie's blog. The prize is really neat. I won't tell you what it is, but you will really love it! And if you don't, you can send it to me!

And last but not least...I know a lot of you felt bad after you read about Scoop's proof-reading tragedy. Although it appears his Pulitzer is safe, I don't think this will happen again because through the magic of Blogland a proof-reading applicant has come to light.

I received this comment today:

Jenny,

If an you know sumbody who is lookin for a reel good proofreider please pass my name along to them.

The proofreidin bizness has been a little slow round these parts, so's I am ready to take on any jobs that come allong. I have had to lowre my prices to git more bizness but still no akshun.

Thanks fer the plug, Jenny.

I new I could cownt on you!

Tom
I just wanted to take a moment to be sure you all know about Tom Goette. Tom's photo has been digitally altered so you will not chase him down the street for his autograph. He is one of the most incredible writer I have encountered in a long time, although this comment is possibly not his finest work! He writes with wit and humor. I want you to meet him before he becomes incredibly famous. That way you can probably buy his books at discount...or at least get them signed for free.

And that's it. Thanks heavens! My fingers hurt, and not in a good way.

Roger and out from Jenny Matlock, where it's all tangents, all the time.
