100th Post . . . AND THE WINNER IS . . .

YAY! 100 posts! This blogging thing has become way too much fun! I saw this altered quote on a blog the other day, and it cracked me up! It said:

Life isn't measured by the
number of posts you blog,
but by the number of posts that
take your breath away!

Hehehe, I don't think I have had many posts that have been "take your breath away" quality, but it has been fun! Thanks to everyone who follows and comments!

I was amazed by the amount of interest in the giveaway! I was not expecting nearly as many comments as I got. I wish I could send you all a book, but alas, I have just one set. And it is eagerly awaiting new ownership.

I was very professional. I wrote everyone's name on a slip of paper . . .

Then I put them all in a bowl, which Lacey held above my head while I drew one out (the lovely expression on my face is just from anticipation!)

And the winner is . .

Congratulations Melissa & David! (and Brianna and Benjamin!) I am so excited, and I hope you love these books as much as I do! If you get me your address I will drop them in the mail tomorrow.

Thanks again to everyone who entered, and keep your eyes peeled, I will be sure to do another giveaway soon!

GIVEAWAY!

In honor of my 100th post I have decided to do a giveaway. I have never done one before, so bear with me! I tried to decide exactly what I could giveaway, since I am not super crafty and such. I decided instead to give away something that I am slightly obsessed with . . . CHILDREN'S BOOKS! And in light of the holiday season that we are in, I have chosen an adorable Christmas Book Set to go to one of you lucky readers! Included in this set are five paperback children's books including:

The Very Snowy Christmas, by Diane Hendry

Christmas Mice, by Bethany Roberts

Snowmen at Christmas, by Caralyn Buehner

Olive, the other Reindeer, by Vivian Walsh

Mooseltoe, by Margie Palatini

All of the books are new, though I will admit I read each one when the set came (not to worry – I was very careful!) They are all adorable, I found Olive, the Other Reindeer to be particularly entertaining!

It doesn't matter if this is your first time visiting my blog, or if you have been with Kate's Corner from the beginning (all three of you). It doesn't matter if you have kids or not (I don't, and I still love children's books!) Even if I don't know you, don't be timid, just enter! The more the merrier!

To enter: Simply leave a comment on this post. Make sure it gives me a link to your blog. If your blog is private, make sure there is a way that I can contact you if you win. You have until 11:59 PM on December 6^th (Saturday) to enter. I will draw a winner and post on Sunday (my 100^th post!). If you live close enough I will hand deliver the books, and if you don't I will mail them. I will make sure that you get the books before Christmas.

So there it is! PLEASE ENTER!
