It's Giveaway Time: $50 gift card and handmade earrings

Today is my one year blogging anniversary! Click here to read my very first post ever.

That anybody is interested in reading my ramblings continues to amaze me. And though I'm definitely on the small size when it comes to readers, I've received so many encouraging words, both privately and publicly. I had no idea when I wrote my first post a year ago that I'd have the opportunity to "get to know" so many wonderful people!

I spent today having my hysterosalpingogram. It was...horrible. I can go into more details if anyone's dying to know, but for now let me just say that if I ever actually do have a kid, I'm going to have enough fodder for guilt trips well into his twenties. Possibly thirties.

The good news is that according to my doctor, I got an A, meaning that everything is okay.

The better news is that I'm feeling so grateful that the experience is over that I decided to increase the amount of the gift card for this giveaway from $25 to $50!

So here's how to enter to win one (1) gift card worth $50 to the store of the winner's choice and one (1) pair of earrings which were handmade by my sister-in-law. All of the proceeds from her jewelry go to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF).
1) Be a public follower of my blog. Leave a comment on this post stating that you are a follower to receive one entry.
2) Be a public follower of my sister's blog The Square Root of Style. Leave a separate comment on this post stating that you are a follower of her blog to receive one additional entry.
3) To receive one additional entry, blog about this giveaway on your own blog and leave a separate comment providing the link.

All the lawyer stuff: This giveaway is open to all followers, regardless of location. Maximum of three entries per person. This giveaway ends at midnight on Friday January 28, 2011. I will randomly select a winner using Random.org and post that winner's name on Monday January 31, 2011. The winner will have 72 hours to contact me at princessoftaylor@gmail.com and tell me from which store she would like her $50 gift card. I reserve the right to request that the winner select a different store if I cannot easily access the winner's selected store. If the winner fails to contact me within 72 hours, I will pick another winner. Giveaway void where prohibited. Please contact me at princessoftaylor@gmail.com with any questions.

Good luck and thanks to everyone for making this a wonderful year at Princess of Taylor!
