Wanna Win $100?

by Sharon on February 5, 2010

Welcome to the new home of Good, True & Beautiful! We’re now hanging out at WordPress and I’m happy to say that I made the move without break the internet.

WooHoo!

In celebration of these new digs (and to mark my one year ‘blogging anniversary’), I have a question for you…

How would you like to win a $100 Visa Gift Card?

a one hundred dollar bill

Interested? You could use it on anything your little heart desires…

Day at the Spa?

Fancy Dinner with your Hubby?

A special treat for the kiddos?

A New car? {well, maybe a new front tire!}

Whatever you’re interested in doing, it is totally up to you… ‘Cause I have a $100 Visa Gift Card that I’m planning to giveaway this week!
Not only that, but each day from Monday through Friday, I’ll have an EXTRA giveaway going on. I’ve lined up some pretty outstanding treats and I promise, you won’t want to miss any of them.

So let’s get started…

Would you like to win a $100 Visa Gift Card? Here’s what you can do…

1). Leave me a comment and tell me what you would do win the money if you win.

2). Subscribe to receive updates either by email, RSS or by following in the Google Reader. Then leave a comment saying you’ve done so. (If you’re already a subscriber/follower just leave a comment saying that).

3). Follow me on Twitter and then send out this tweet {WooHooo! I’ve entered to WIN a $100 Visa Gift Card and you can too http://bit.ly/win100 @gtbsharon #giveaway ends 2/13!} You can do this once per day – just leave a new comment for each tweet!

4). Post about this giveaway on your blog with a link back to Good, True & Beautiful. Then leave a comment telling me you’ve done so!

5). Share this information on your Facebook Wall. Oops! Katie brought to my attention that this is a no no. I will honor the previous entries, but to avoid Facebook’s wrath, I’ve come up with a new #5… (and thanks for watchin’ my back Katie!)

5). Tell me what you like about this blog (other than the fact that I’m offering to give you a $100) and anything that you would change to make it better (see Mr. Facebook Police? I’m a reformed violator.)

BONUS! keep an eye out for more giveaways this week… with MORE WAYS to win this $100 Visa Gift Card!

The winner will be selected using Random.org on Saturday, February 13th.

This giveaway is now closed!

Hello! What an awesome giveaway! :)

I would use the $$ to get some groceries, I’m trying to save money and my cupboards are looking a little bare. So is the life of a post-college graduate hunting for a “real” job in this economy. ::sigh::

Thanks for the blog!

I was just reading some of your blog posts today on how to do stuff to set up a blog. That’s kinda what I need right now… Dragging my feet because I’m not sure where to begin. Blogger vs. Wordpress, etc, etc. Pretty helpful stuff ya got righ’tcheer. That’s deep south drawl, dontcha know. I also like that you’re giving away $100. That’s special and such.

ah, I’d spend the money on beads!! One can never have enough beads in one’s stash and it is wonderful to just pick a project and have what you need for it!

Thanks for the giveaway!

I really like your positive outlook. Your love for your husband and son come through in a real way. You seem very genuine. This makes your posts fun to read.

If I won the 100 dollars I would probably buy some kitchen essentials as my partner and I are just moving into our new apartment soon and we have no baking stuff or herbs or even enough saucepans!
