Showing posts with label blogging traditions and mishaps. Show all posts

I jumped into this blogging thing nine months ago knowing absolutely nothing about it. The culture, the ins, the outs, the dos, the don’ts, I knew squat! When I hit my 100th post, I was still clueless about why I should even mention it. When I hit my 200th post, I was too busy madly blogging to even notice it had happened. However, I have evolved since then and lo and behold, I have come to my 300th post--prepared. (Or not. It’s a matter of opinion.)

Apparently it is tradition to have a giveaway on your blogoversary or when you reach a banner post (right? I’m still fuzzy about these things. If I’m wrong, don’t tell me, ‘kay?). So, I thought and thought about what would be a fun thing to give away, something new and different, something unique to the world of Dunhaven Place. So, I came up with this!

Yah. My brain isn't the only thing that's fuzzy. Pardon the fuzz of this pic.


(It’s a t-shirt, in case you can’t tell, which is highly likely considering there are few clues.) The shirt hasn’t been made since the winner will be able to order it in her size (sorry guys--all three of you--I really don’t think this is for you) and, unlike the lavandar sachets made from an antique baby dress, this will actually arrive at the winner’s abode. (I have three Miss D book winners who will verify that they did, indeed, receive Miss D, as promised, so my cred is good.) Plus, it will be totally unique and one of a kind! Only the winner will have this exact shirt.

So, here’s the deal. The shirt says “Buy it, read it, love it” at the bottom. However, you can come up with your own saying. I thought “off to smell the roses” would be fun since they are the last words of Miss D (Miss Delacourt Speaks Her Mind for you newbies who might have missed the name of my book) but The Spouse thought the saying coupled with a rose across the chest might be too tempting. (It takes a man to think of these things.) To be entered in the contest, simply make a comment stating what you would like the shirt to say. That’s it! Tell your friends if you want to but I don’t know how many would appreciate a Miss D shirt. In fact, I don’t know how many of YOU would appreciate a Miss D shirt. It will be fun finding out (don’t make me cry, people).


(FYI, I’m in a flaming hurry just now. We are on our way out the door and will be gone for the day but I will get to your post soon! Or not—tomorrow is novel writing day. Ack! Still, soon . . .. meanwhile, we are leaving Sugar, the Bichon Frise Attack Dog to guard the house and we are leaving the Big Guy to guard the dog and we are leaving the Middle Child to guard the Big Guy, so all should be well . . .

UPDATE: I suppose I should set a time limit on this. How about midnight Wednesday with the winner to be announced on Thursday. Yay!
