Kate's "Things Are Going Well" Giveaway

2009-01-24T12:32:00.000-08:00

Okay I admit it's a weird name for a giveaway, but my imagination's not coming up with anything more spectacular at the moment.

Hi everyone!! Hope you are all doing well and that 2009 has started off well for you.

I'm doing a little bit of celebrating because my computer problems are now, finger's crossed, at an end. I purchased a new computer a few days ago and am doing a happy dance. It's such a relief not to have to suddenly hear my computer wheeze and click and make funny noises before it decides to send me an error message and shut down. It got a little nerve wracking trying to write while anticipating the next crash.

I've decided to pass along some of my happiness by having this little giveaway. That's right. It's not a contest but a giveaway so you don't have to do a thing but send me an e-mail letting me know you'd like to have your name in the hat for the drawings.

I'm giving away several prizes.

The first one is this beautiful 2009 Wolf calendar package that includes a large 12" x 12" hanging calendar, a smaller 5" x 6" hanging calendar, a credit card sized wallet calendar, and a wolf bookmark.

Second and third prizes are 2 year pocket calendars with a wolf cover plus one bottle each of Bath and Body Works, Warm Vanilla Sugar or Sweet Pea scented, body lotion and shower gel.

Each of these prizes comes with your choice of one of the following print books:

To Trust a Wolf, m/f
Lions, Tigers & Bears, m/f
Orb of Fate, m/f
Male of the Species, m/m
Bonds of the Maleri', m/m

m/f denotes a male/female romance, m/m denotes a male/male romance.

So, take a few moments to send me an e-mail at katesteele27@yahoo.com and I'll add your name those being entered in the drawings. This opportunity closes and the drawings will be done on February 7th. Good Luck Everyone!!

I've coordinated the soaps and lotions as follows: Lavender & Jojoba lotion with Chamomile Lavender soap, Citrus & Green Tea lotion with Lemon Creme soap and Mango and Coconut lotion with Almond Crumb Cake soap. I'll tell you what. Some of this stuff smells good enough to eat! Winner's can pick their scent on a first come first serve basis.
