the fun starts today...

Yep, today's the day for the start of the Dog Days of Summer Bloggy Giveaway! Be sure to head over to Rocks in my Dryer, the genius behind it all, for links to all the fantastic giveaways.

So, what am I giving away, you ask. Well, nothing all that exciting, I'm afraid. Wish I could afford to bestow upon every one of you some wonderfully decadent indulgence, but that is simply not to be. Instead, I took the suggestion that you give away something that is somehow related to your blog. Well, anyone who visits here knows that my blog is a major hodgepodge of ramblings. But I tried to narrow it down to a few of my "favorite" things. So, if you leave a comment to this post, here is what you will be in the running to win...



A book. The Third Victim by Lisa Gardner, to be specific. Though all the book challenges are doing the job of expanding my reading horizons, this type of book (suspense/thriller) is probably still my favorite type of read. (I have not actually read this book, but have read others by her and enjoyed them immensely.)

A pewter frame. Love, love, love photos.

A packet of alphabet rub-ons by K&Company. Because I love scrapbooking. And I'm addicted to letters of all shapes and sizes.

And a Symphony chocolate bar. Well, does that really need an explanation?!!

I tried to come up with something related to homeschooling as well, but just drew a blank. Didn't figure anyone wanted to win my lesson plans for "Native Americans" or a copy of a "Probability and Statistics" test. So, we'll let it go at the items in the photo.

Now, if you would like a chance to win, all you have to do is leave a comment to this post. The winner will be randomly chosen and announced on Friday.

Enjoy the Dog Days of Summer everyone!
