A New Year, A New Country Giveaway

I'm hoping for some big changes in 2012.  I'll bet y'all are too!  :-)  At any rate, all we can hope is it's a good year for all of us, right?

For those who've had an extended winter break from work, my hat's off to you ~ I hope you've enjoyed your break, and I hope it helped get those creative juices flowing, if that's what you wanted.

Alas, I have worked the whole month of December except for two days off?!  Mind you, I'm not really complaining... ok, maybe just a wee bit... but the extra hours and the extra holiday pay will help in the bill department.

Now, let's get on with our newest Country Giveaway!

I've decided to feature three Zazzle stores ~ ahem, yes, one of them is mine ~ but the other two stores are two of my bestest bloggy friends, Cindy from Write Up My Alley and Misty Dawn from My Dogs Keep Me Sane.

Here's how the giveaway will work:  You visit each Zazzle store (links below), find one item you like from each store, and mention it here in a comment.

If you want extra entries, you are more than welcome to Tweet out this giveaway or mention it on Facebook, just let me know in an extra comment that you've done so.

The winner will get their pick of any item up to $25 from one of our three Zazzle stores!

Note: This giveaway will end on January 27th at midnight, PST.  

The winner will be announced between January 28th and 29th.  I will advise the winner of any current Zazzle promotions so that they can maximize the $25 they have to spend!

Here are the links to our Zazzle stores:

I would also like to introduce a new blog
by myself, Misty and Cindy.

It's called Cool-Findz and our goal with this new blog is to introduce our readers to the best of Zazzle.  Throughout the year, we'll post our favs from all the Zazzle stores we find in the Zazzle universe.  There's some seriously awesome stuff on Zazzle, folks!

So, please, gander over to Cool-Findz and take a peek, sign up to follow... there might not be a whole lot there yet, but the new year holds a lot of promise!   :-)

Tell you what, I'll make the pot a lil sweeter -- become a follower of Cool-Findz, add a comment here letting me know, and you'll get a bonus TWO entries into this month's country giveaway!!

So get visiting, post your comments about what you'd like to win from each store, and good luck to every one of you!

My best wishes to all of my readers for a fabulous 2012!!!

    From By the Becks I like the snowman puzzle.
    From Wheatgrass Design I like ALL the flower postage, expecially the Gerbena.
    From Misty Dawn I love the Oyester Plant notebook (though if she had a puzzle of her Three Amigos that would be even cooler...hint, hint.)

    Hope you all are having a great new year!

  13. I hope work has slowed, and you've had some time to relax and enjoy being home for a bit.

    I think the racoons on the items at Misty Dawn's are just adorable, but we've had such a problem with racoons the past several months that I wouldn't feel right promoting the rascals! Ha! But I really love the Queen Anne's Lace Sandstone Coaster even better :)

    On By the Becks, I fell in love with the Flowering Cactus, Canvas Print. So pretty.

    And I always enjoy your photography! I need a new mouse pad in the worst way and I love sunflowers, so the Smiling Sunflower Mousepad jumped out at me...... but then I saw the Dance in the Sun Apron and I think it was whispering my name........

    Thank you for the wonderful give away! I hope 2012 is the best year yet for you.
