Am I Blue.... And The Winner Is.......

I have always loved to give... Not really sure why it thrills me so... Sometimes I even think I can become annoying with the manner in which I give.... My daughter tells me I spoil my grandkids way too much yet I feel like I have scaled way back since they have moved away from me... I grew up in a home where there was very little.  Maybe that is what it is... whatever the case.... it is time to announce the winner of our January True Blue Giveaway... Something I have really enjoyed doing this time.... Being color specific on a giveaway can be very challenging yet it can also be loads of fun.. As I am always up for a good challenge.  I will probably more than likely do a similiar themed giveaway again....

Yet you are not hear to listen to me go on about my ideas and such.  You want to know who the lucky winner is.  I started to do this via a random number generator and thought no... that is just way to impersonal.  I had so many sign up that I somewhat dreaded writing all the entries out.  I was not as prepared as last time when I wrote the names out as they entered.  Yet I gave in and did just that..... I  used one of my extra additions to the box to help out with the selection of the winner. And now for the moment you have all been waiting for..... drumroll please......

I made this little sachet bag to add to the bounty and thought it would be perfect to use for the drawing.  As you can see the winner is Anastasia from Deep Inside My Broom Closet.  Just shoot me an email Anastasia at 11raelin11@gmail.com so I can get your shipping info.  I have the package all together so if I get the info from you quickly I can have this baby in the mail today.  Congrats on the win and I truly hope you enjoy all the goodies.

I will be posting the info on my next giveaway tomorrow.  I can assure you all that you will want to at least take a peek at this as well as enter to win... It will center around Imbolc and Valentines... A treat for all and of course I can promise there will be chocolate... as I have found some that I simply have to put in the box already... Until then have a wonderful Thursday.

It Just Keeps Growing - True Blue Giveaway

Thought maybe I should give you all an idea of what I have tossed into January's giveaway thus far.  All I can say is thank goodness that the deadline is next week.  I wanted to get the package ready so that I could ship it out next Thursday on the 21st when I will pick the winner via a random number draw.  There are a couple things that are not in the picture... yet that will just have to be a surprise. 

One is that I think I am obsessed with food.  I had to be careful or whoever received this package was going to get a food basket.  So the only edibles you will receive are an ample supply of Bliss white and milk chocolate with almonds.  There are alot of candies with blue wrappers.  Yes that is a blue Tootsie Pop you see there in the background.  Also a Cracked glass candle holder with pearl white candle.  And a blue vase to hold all those wonderful chocolates.

Next is a book that is somewhat like chicken soup for the pagan soul.  I ordered this book by mistake some time back and received 4 of them.  I decided to keep one for myself and give the others as gifts.  This is my last one and I could not be more happy than to give it now.  It is a wonderful book filled with recipes, spells and wonderful thought provoking stories.  It has become a mainstay for me and I pick mine up often.  Also, a journal to enter all your thoughts, dreams or what not.  You can see the corner here in the photo yet a better perspective can be see in the first photo. 

Next a DVD of the Corpse Bride.  I am a lover of anything Johnny Depp is part of and well the package is blue.  So it fit very well in with my mindset and with the theme of the True Blue Giveaway.

Of course because of all the remarks I have gotten on the photo I used I decided to send a print of it along with its very one "blue" frame.  There are still a couple items that are not in the photo yet I think I will just let that be a surprise for whomever is chosen next week.  If you haven't already entered the January - True Blue - Giveaway just click any of the links throughout the post.  All the rules and such are there .  Drawing will be held on Thursday, January 21st.  Also a heads up for the next giveaway.... Somewhat of a Valentine Imbolc theme.. if that is possible..... You will not want to miss it.... Details will posted Friday January 23rd. 

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.....

January Giveaway - True Blue

I have decided to go ahead and get this started as if I wait too long it will totally screw up the wonderful schedule I have created.   January has always been a time for new beginnings for me.  Not necessarily that I start them, yet the intent is there and it just seems to be in the air everywhere.  Another thing that I always seem to tie in with January is the color blue...

For some time I have known that my giveaway for January would be something in regards to blue and new beginnings yet what.... I have gathered several items , a blue journal, a beautiful blue vase filled with blue and white chocolates, (half white chocolate and half milk), a blue candle and so on... Yet it just is not exactly as I want it yet... So I am going to go ahead and start the entries and update the complete package when I feel it is ok.. As always I am sure there will be extras drizzled in the box even after I post the contents... what can I say.... I love to give goodies.... So here are the rules below.... pretty much the same as always.....

1.  Leave a comment letting me know that you wish to enter along with your email address.

2.  Be or become a follower of Mother Moons Message

3.  For an extra entry - post an entry on your site in regards to the giveaway - be sure to leave an extra comment here with the address of the post.

4.  For another extra entry - post a copy of the giveaway button with a link back to my site. 

Again I am so sorry for the slowness of this.... I was so ready for 2010 to come and now I am so slow to get started... Good luck to all.....
