Then come back to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and the name of the product(s) you would like if you win (remember up to $30.00 please). Example: Jane Doe: White Happy Birthday Banner

For a third entry, I love learning about the visitors of Give Away Today, so in a NEW comment tell me your first and last name and one of your favorite signs, t-shirts, bumper stickers, or billboards that you have seen.
Example: Jane Doe: When I was twenty-one I ran in the St. George Marathon with my roommate Jen. Along the marathon route we were surprised to see our other roommate’s parents who had come to support us. They were holding a sign that read “Good Job, Girls! And don’t worry, toenails are overrated!” (Just in case you are not a runner, your toenails will sometimes fall off after a marathon, which in this case, I did lose my left big toenail after the race. So not only was their sign cute, but it was also prophetic :)

The winner of the $30.00 gift certificate to Whismy Creations will be announced Thursday, February 26th. Please visit us then to see if you are our winner and to check out our new giveaway for the day. Thanks!

Alexandra Wilson: Happy Birthday Banner

Alex said...

Alexandra Wilson: One day my hubby and I were driving and we saw a truck with a trailer hauling a rusted old International truck. As we pulled up behind the trailer at a stoplight, there was a bumper sticker on the rusted truck that said "Love One Another." The sticker was old and cracked, but not faded. I got the best picture from the inside of my car of the sticker. It hangs framed in my bathroom.

Vanessa said...

Vanessa Perger: My favorite sign is one in my neighborhood of a police officer giving a person a ticket with his foot on the bumper of the car. I like it because it makes me think: "Watch out, this is a ticket zone where police will stop your car with their feet if necessary!" Never fails to make me smile.

Melissa Burr- I live in Oklahoma and attend Oklahoma State University. Our rivlas are the University of Oklahoma or OU- the sooners. Well for the big football game we went to campus to help cheer on the team. ESPN game day was there and I saw a little boy carry a sign that said ESPN- Every Sooner Picks his Nose. I loved it and the little boy looked so happy to display it- my favorite part.

mandy sadler - there is a town in west texas called big lake and it is so named because there used to be a huge lake but it has since dried up and there is a sign in the middle of the lake bed that says something funny (not sure of wording) about welcome to a town named big lake that has no lake.

It's actually kind of ironic because now we are getting married :)

Kimberly Nasfell: I love, love, love the bumper sticker that says, "Honk if you love Ta-Tas" (it's a breast cancer awareness sticker) I laugh sooooooo hard (and coincidentally honk my horn A LOT) every time I see it. I've had many close friends and family members battle with breast cancer so to see support for it in an optomistic (and humorous) way is so refreshing!

Rachel Biornstad: I played volleyball in college and on one of our many roadtrips we saw the oddest sign we had ever seen in all our travels together. We were in Michigan in a "construction zone" for a stretch on the highway. More than once, there was a sign posted saying something along the lines of, "Injure/Kill a worker: $15,000". We could not stop laughing. I have a picture of it. So if you save up and feel like killing someone... it only costs 15k in Michigan...!?!?! No mentioning of jail time or sentencing... I'd like to see the person who was in charge of making that sign and ask him/her what they were thinking! :)

As a kid we lived in Ogden and would travel to Orem to see my grandparents, my sister's and I would get so excited to see that Hart's gas station sign because it meant we were really close to to Orem. Also, I loved that it had a heart on it.

Jamie DelMonaco: There is a sign at the end of the road that connects my town to the nearest city. Is reads "Makin' Bacon Farm Next Left" The kicker is that the sign also depicts two little pigs in a position to be actually making more bacon. On one hand it is quite crude, but on the other the little pigs are pretty cute and the sign is actually very nicely done with attractive black with gold lettering. It always makes me crack a smile on the end of that 2 hour drive.

Lindsey Healey: a few years ago I ran the Las Vegas marathon. As I approached mile twenty or so, I noticed something bobbing around in the pack ahead of me. As I got nearer to it, I realized that someone was running with a headband that had a large Arby's sign attached to it, just like in the commercials. That gave me a very much needed shot of humor at the time!

Sarah Kotronis~I have walked the Breast Cancer 3-Day for 3 years in a row, 60 miles over 3 days. It is an understatement to say that this is a very challenging walk, but along the way there are so many "cheerleaders" who bring candy, signs, and smiles to get us to the next mile, and the next, and the next. This past year there were 2 girls who dressed up like pirate wenches and followed the route throughout the day. They would park their car, crank up the music, and cheer us on. My favorite sign belonged to them...it depicted a topless pirate chick and said "Shiver Me Ta-Ta's...You're Curing Breast Cancer!" So awesome
