Do You Want something?

***This is my first official Giveaway***

My friend Emily is almost famous! Her blog is witty, funny, clever and just entertaining. All of that writing has gotten her to be a published author! It is very exciting. This book benefits a family struck by a tragedy but still being so blessed. When Emily announced the book was out and available to buy, I bought two books. I'm not too sure why, I think mainly because it was for a good cause. So I have decided to pay it forward, and give my other book away, through this giveaway. Plus it is a shameless way to have people spread the word about my blog, and this family!

Here is what you have to do:
  • You'll get 1 entry for leaving me a comment.
  • You'll get 2 entries for posting a blog with a link back to my blog about the contest. If you do this, please leave a comment with a link back to your blog where the post is.
  • The contest will run through Wednesday February 4th at 8pm MST. The winner will be announced February 5th.
If you would like to donate to this family you can do so here.
To read about the book, or to buy the book click here.

While this contest is going on, I will be posting on the days I work out to keep up with my resolution, so make sure you leave a comment on this specific blog!

Good luck! And here's to something! ...emily something, and something cleverish!

  1. April! What a great idea! I am SO BUMMED now that I finally broke down and bought it yesterday because I might just have won this! Is it possible to win a book that I'm in? Well, I'll forfeit my entry since mine is coming in the mail, but I'm still spreading the word. Good for you!! And thanks for the shout out. :)

  2. This is something I would love. All the fun of reading clever, witty, and insightful blog posts, without having to sit in my uncomfortable computer chair and stare at the actual computer. I would love to win!

  3. I'm in too and I'm glad Emily took herself out of the contest, I was totally going to say that was not fair but she opted out before I could say that;) It really just means I have one more chance of winning!!

  6. What the heck. I'm in, too. (By the way, I'm Emily's SIL and one of your blog stalkers--I don't know if I've ever commented, but I do stop by and read!). I'm a fellow Obama fan. :)
