300th Post Give-Away! 3 Gooseberry Patch 2008 Appointment Calendars!




A few days ago, I realized that I was almost at my 300th post...and here it is! So in honor of this auspicious occasion, I have decided to host a give-away for all my friends! Since the magic number has a 3 in it...I am going to select 3 winners! The prizes are 3 Gooseberry Patch 2008 Appointment Calendars. Yes...I know, January is almost over, but you'll still have eleven more months to use this handy dandy little planner. The illustrations are beautiful, and there are even inspiring quotes and delicious recipes throughout. And, there are both linear and full page calendars for each month. Since I love mine so much, I wanted to share with my friends!


To enter the drawing, simply leave me a comment on this post between now and Friday night at 9 pm EST. I will draw 3 winners, and announce them at that time. But do be sure to leave me a URL or email address. A lot of visitors don't realize that Homeschool Blogger doesn't work with Blogger, Xanga, etc. in that identities are not automatically listed unless you are signed in with a HSB account. Many dear folks leave me a comment, but I don't have a way of knowing who they are if the comment is posted by 'Anonymous' and there is not a URL or email included! So please let me know who you are, the URL of your blog, or how you can be reached if you win!

Thanks again for taking the time to visit my blog and for being such an encouragement and inspiration to me! I have enjoyed making many new friends over the last 18 months, and I count you all blessings! So this is my little way of showing my appreciation! Take care and let me hear from you by Friday night at 9 pm EST! I can hardly wait!

I remember when you posted about the calendar a while back, and I thought "how neat would that be? I sure need one of those!" I USED to be so organized! Hope you're all doing well!

I'm a very happily married pastor's wife, former schoolteacher-turned-homeschool mom of six wonderful blessings, and freelance writer--and we live in the great state of Georgia! I'm a southern girl through and through...but most importantly, I'm a child of the King! We have just finished up our twelfth year of homeschooling, and our two oldest have now graduated! This is my place to record thoughts about homemaking, Classical-Charlotte Mason based homeschooling, writing around the fringes of family life, and more...so welcome to my little corner of the world!
