A Banner Giveaway

by Leigh Anne on February 9, 2009

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

This Giveaway is in honor of Valentine’s Day and because Barbara requested it in her comment on my post here.

Barbara suggested that after Cali chose which Valentine banner she wanted that I give the other one away in a giveaway – so guess what? I am giving it away. Sometimes you get what you ask for Barbara.

Cali chose the Love banner and I must say it looks darling hanging in her dorm room (I visited my 3 college kids this weekend)

So that means that I have the Hugs & Kisses Banner to giveaway.

Now I realize that you won’t receive the banner in time to enjoy this Valentine’s Day – but you will be ready to go next year.

If you would prefer, you can choose instead, a personalized banner with your Word of the Year on it – here’s my Word of the Year Joy banner.

So here is all you have to do:

1. Leave a comment below (click on where it says “comment” and a box will open up) In your comment let me know if you want the XOX banner or a Your Word of the Year banner and let me know what your word is.

2. Get a second entry in the drawing if you share the link and info to this giveaway on your blog. Let me know in a second separate comment box that you shared the info on your blog with a link to the post.

3. Get a third entry in the drawing if you share the link to this giveaway on your Facebook page and by becoming a fan of yourhomebasedmom on Facebook. Just click here to become a fan. Again, let me know that you have done this in a separate comment box.

So that is three different ways to be entered in the drawing! Three chances to win!!

Giveaway is open until Friday, February 13th at midnight PST!
