my very first giveaway!

Thursday, June 09, 2011

I know, I know... I used to loathe the idea of giveaways on my blog. I think it was because I knew I'd only do it to entice new people to follow me. This giveaway, however, is not meant to boost followings in any way. It's a little celebration for baby Nutmeg!

Everyone that reads this blog knows that we're expecting a little one somewhere around July 20th. Anyone who knows babies at all knows that a "due date" is kind of a mythological creature that rarely proves true. 

So here is what I propose:

You, readers, comment on this post with 
  1. your name (if commenting anonymously) 
  2. the date you think this baby will be born
  3. the time of day (down to the exact minute) you think it will happen.
Whoever ends up being the closest to Nutmeg's actual birth date and time will win one of these:

...a sock monkey that I will hand-make for you. I do not promise it will look like this, however. This sock monkey belongs to Judah and he is one-of-a-kind. But, rest assured, your sock monkey will be just as cute and unique. :)  The winner will be announced on this blog shortly after the event takes place. If there's a tie, I suppose I'll be making two!

Given the facts that I'll have no place to sew until we move into our new house AND that I'll have a new baby pretty soon, I'm not giving myself any time restrictions on this one. But I PROMISE that I will get the monkey made and mailed as soon as I possibly can! 

ANYONE and EVERYONE can enter. So, start guessing!

  11. July 25th, at 5:30 p.m. I really hope you don't go over your due date, and that you will start contractions in the a.m. after a good night's rest.

  15. And, just to let you know what I think's going to happen...

    I guess the actual due date - July 20th at 6:00 PM. But my vote's not actually going to count. :)
