I mentioned a while ago that I wanted to hold a big giveaway this Christmas.
Because it’s fun to win things.
And it’s even more fun to give things away.
And on Thursday, this Thursday, the giveaway fun begins here on Ni Hao Y’all.
I’ve even come up with an incredibly creative name for all the fun we’re going to have here.
Ready?!?
30 Days of Giveaways.
I know. Pure genius.
And, on top of that, I’ve made something in honor of this event. My first little button-y objet d’art, made all by myself, I’m proud to say. Created just for y’all to grab and post on your blog, and/or your FB page to help get the word out about the 30 Days of Giveaways that are about to begin.
So here’s my proposal.
Grab this button. It’s cute, it’s Christmas-y… what’s not to love?
Then, write up a little post on your blog and/or FB about the giveaway. And then link that post below, so I know who you are and where to find you if you win!
And what do you get for posting about the giveaway, and adding that adorable little Christmas-y button?
An entry into Every. Single. Drawing. Just like that.
And if you post to your blog and your FB page (for FB, click here) and link up below with both posts, you’ll be entered twice for Every. Single. Drawing.
So far I have some really fun, adorable, gorgeous and exciting gifts. About 17 items I have here, in my grubby little hands, that I will photograph and feature myself. And about 15 more that are in the works or will be shipped directly from the seller.
Really, y’all are gonna love, love, love this stuff. I *might* have already done some shopping for my sweet Poppy at one of the shops represented in the giveaway. So when I say y’all are gonna love this stuff, I really mean it.
If you have something you’d like to donate to our 30 Days of Giveaways, just let me know via email or comment. The more the merrier, I say…. and if we go over 30 Days? Well, I think we’ll all just have to deal with that. Just read the details over here and contact me to get your giveaway item entered.
Can’t wait for Thursday!
I'm a regular mama. Who happens to have twelve kids.
Just one husband, though.
I put your blog button on my sidebar….www.courtneykrause.blogspot.com!! I can't wait for the giveaway to start!
Hello
I can't get it to link to both my blog and my FB to show that I posted in both…and I tried a second time, that's why I'm entered twice. How do I delete one of them, and how do I show I posted both places? Thanks for the help! I LOVE your blog!
I think I've got it fixed, Jennifer! Thanks for letting me know… you're all set
I just posted your link to my Facebook Page!
I couldn't figure out the FB link thingy. But I did post it on FB and my blog!

Duh! Another computer illiterate blonde
I named my little linky thingy the wrong thing!! But posted to my blog!!
Yippee . . . I love give aways!
I posted on my blog and on my FB page!
Thanks so much Stephanie!
I don't have a blog – and I can't get it to post correctly on my facebook page!! I've tried!! Would love to have the chance to win some of the giveaways!
I posted a link on my FB page. Not sure I did it exactly right.
Count me in at both places, my blog and FB. Thanks!
Ohhh, this just makes me giddy! I just posted to FB and my blog! Blessings to you, Friend!
Sorry messed up… should have posted on my linky that I posted to both blog and FB. Can't wait until Thursday! http://www.bygracewearesix.blogspot.com
I posted a blog about this on my mommy blog: http://babystuffilove.blogspot.com/2010/11/30-days-of-giveaways.html and I'm posting on facebook!
Posted the button on my blog (that way it stays at the top for the next 30+ days!) and on my FB Page, but I can't link to that from your site because only "Friends" are allowed to view my page. Feel free to view http://www.twotimesthechaos.blogspot.com to see the button and/or (Steph) view my FB page since we are friends.
Tried to use the linky thing and it didn't work,
I don't know
but it's on my blog and FB.
if I can enter since I donated stuff? If not,
then just spreadin the word.
Put the button on the sidebar of my blog and posted to FB, but can't figure out how to link to my FB since only friends can view my profile.

Post the button on my FB not sure if I did it right. Thanks. Cathy Shealy
Man, posting to facebook is tough. I have something posted to facebook and a link too, but the button doesn't show up. but I'm gonna keep trying. I also have on my blog. nancyvnjounrey.blogspot.com
Ok, so I've never LINKYed before. I messed up once putting your own button as my connector?!?!? Crazy me, then I got the hang of it and added my own button to me. can't wait for the fun to begin
-heather
I posted on our blog, put up the button and am working on FB..it IS difficult. But excited about the giveaways!!!
Awesome idea! I ran across your blog and fell in love…with your thoughts, goals, love for children and faith! A good read and funny too, thanks for sharing.
Btw, I posted to both!

I posted on my blog and on FB. Not sure how to share the FB link, so here is the link to my profile page. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=901640312
Does this qualify me as the world's lamest FB user? sigh….
Really excited about your giveaways! You're starting off with a bang!
I love this necklace…it is soo pretty
Grabbed your button!
How fun! Just put the button on my blog!
I have posted on my blog and FB page, but I have no idea how to link to my FB page. I'm a "friend" though, so you can always look me up.
I also posted it on my website!
I posted on my blog! Good luck to everyone!!
I posted it on my blog and linked up to the post. And, I just posted on facebook too…though it looks like no one can figure out how to tell you that!
Posted on blog and facebook (linked 2 times above as "YouYou"). Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!!!!
I posted on my FB page, but didn't do it in the linky thing because no one but my friends will be able to see it.
Can't wait for all the FUN! Nothing beats giving stuff away.
I linked up twice to my blog…sorry. I didn't think I did the first one right and then both pics showed up. I also posted on my fb. So excited!
I have posted your website on my FB status
It's listed the link on my blog
Hope one of the 30 days is my lucky day!!
THANKS!!!!
I posted it on my fb page but I am a complete dork and cannot make the link and a picture show up on your blog:( Sorry!
Sorry, we don't have a blog for our two adoptions…
Great idea and good luck everyone!

What a generous and thoughtful way to give back! Awesome! You are such an inspiration, I remember back when you were struggling with doing more, giving more, living your truths, and I'd say you have really, really made a difference with all you do!! Keepin it real, paying it forward! Hugs!!!!
I posted on my blog and facebook. Thanks!
Not sure how to put a button on FB so I put an update about it and a link to NHY. And on both my blogs … just amazed at how times flies! Six years ago we were both trying to get all the paperwork in for our first ones!

Linked late, but I'm finally caught up with the rest of my life. For today, anyway. So I'm FB'ing it too – although my posts automatically FB thru Networked blogs…. Better safe than sorry.
I just posted on my FB page. Do you need my profile info? And thank you for this giveaway!
Couldn't post from work, dang….put me a few days behind. Your link is up on our blog finally! Wooooohoooooooooooo bring on the fun!
