Today we are Giving Away... (PRIZES CLAIMED)


Four Amazing Items from Flowers, Pins, and More

Nothing says, “Hey, today is your birthday. It is your special day. We, your family, remember. And we want you to know that we remember. And everyone who enters our abode today will know it’s your b-day. And they will make you feel special too.” Nothing says that whole paragraph in two simple words like a "Happy Birthday" Bunting Banner from Flowers, Pins, and More, who just so happens to be our featured company today.

I own one of these lovely banners and I think it is so much fun. It is something I can pull out for years to come each time someone in my family is having a birthday, party, or other type of celebration. You can order one side of the banner to say "Happy Birthday" and then custom order the other side to say whatever you would like, such as "Special Day".
But remember, the name of the company is Flowers, Pins, and More. Why? Because they sell Flowers, Pins, and More, of course. So I thought I would show you all of these items as well, because they are quite lovely, a perfect gift for you or someone you know. So while you are visiting their site today, go ahead and purchase a few items, you'll be glad you did.

Flowers: (so cute in hair…)

Pins: (so cute on purses, blouses, rainjackets, etc…)
And more (runner so cute on any table…)
Today Flowers, Pins, and More will be giving away the following:

Two people will win their choice of a 4-piece magnet set


One person will win their choice of a flower pin


And one person will win a small stroller size minky blanket, cow print
(minky=a little slice of heaven)

You can enter one of these great products from Flowers, Pins, and More up to THREE times today. This giveaway is only open to those living on earth (that's right, anyone anywhere on the planet Earth. So in other words, if you're a Klingon, SCRAM!).

For one entry, leave your first and last name in a comment.
Example: Jane Doe

For a second entry please visit Flowers, Pins, and More here. Look at their lovely products. Then return to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and an item you wish you owned from Flowers, Pins, and More.
Example: Jane Doe: Flower Power Posy Pin

For a third entry, tell us your first and last name and a bad vacation you've been on (you know, since its vacation season and all). OR if you've never had a bad vacatoin, you are a lucky son-of-a-gun, and all you need to write for a third entry is: Never had One.
Example: Jane Doe: When our oldest child was eleven months old my husband and I thought it would be fun to go to Yellowstone as a family. Here's the miserable highlights, or if you prefer, lowlights: we watched the bear movie they show just before going to bed, I was lying in the tent frightened to death when an enormous lightening, rain, and thunderstorm started, so at 1:30 am--I kid you not, 1:30 am, my husband packed up the tent in the rain and we drove home. We referred to it as "Hell"owstone for years thereafter.

The winners of the fantastic products from Flowers, Pins, and More will be announced Thursday, June 4th. Please visit us then to see if you are our winner and to discover our new giveaway for the day. Thanks and we’ll see you tomorrow!

Katie Larsen:

The unplanned Panguitch trip in which we stayed in a shanty...My mother was afraid would kill us all because of the gas fireplace being the only source of heat; the bathroom which consisted of a hose hanging out of the wall and a toilet that looked like a pipe with a seat attached was alarming at best; we experimented with the sharing of two beds amongst five people; and the BEST part being the12 inch black and white TV we watched The Waltons on before going to sleep. Good times. Any time I pass through Panguitch, I take a picture of the shanty and text it to my dad. :)

Alisha Harrison- any of the hair clips!

Nicole said...

Nicole Lindsey: One time we drove from Colorado to Missouri, stopping here and there along the way, camping each night in our pop-up trailer that we used to own. Most of the vacation was really good, but there was one campground with a disgusting cat that had lost it's tail in a fight and was really sick and basically about to die. Somehow it got in he pop-up trailer before we left the campground and was stuck in it all day while we were driving and peed all over the place. So gross.

Bailee Hawkins: We were going on a mini weekend camping trip. The road up to our favorite site was blocked off so we gathered all our stuff and walked the couple of miles. By the time we got there it was dark and took nearly an hour to start a fire. Now this was in April so it was still cold at night, something we didn't expect. We didn't even bring jackets. We went to get our flashlight and realized we hadn't put batteries in it. it was a miserable night! but an adventure all the same

Amanda Stephens; Five years ago my family and my sisters' family took a long vacation to Disney land. I worked graveyards and had to work the night before leaving. My husband called me at 1:30 A.M. to inform me that my almost 2 year old daughter was vomitting, so I left. That morning we were leaving and I had been up all night next to the toilet with her. We stayed in Mesquite the first night and she then got terrible diarhea. Then we got to California and my 5 year old started vomitting on the ride. We were in California for 11 days and it ran through each one of us. The worst trip ever.

Codi Weeks-Bad vacation was when we went to Bear Lake, but didn't get directions to the cabin. So we ended up sleeping in our car on the side of a dirt road. The next morning, we actually found out we had turned into the driveway of where we were going to be staying, but of course didn't know it. Where we slept in the car was 4 cabins away! We also had a 2 year old that had just figured out the door locks, so I didn't sleep much!

I could not even fit in the bed above the steering wheel. It was a looooooong few days during which our 6 year old daughter was bucked off a horse, we got flat tires on 3 of the 4 bikes we took, and experienced one bout of food poisoning. Fun times.

Ashlee Smith: My friend and I drove two hours to the sand dunes to meet our husbands in POURING monsoon rain. By the time we made it there and realized we were sleeping in a tent that night, we wrote "we're going home' on a piece of paper, held it up to the window as we drove by, and left. The boys called us and said they would come too, and could we take some stuff for them. My husband changed out of his wet clothes and sent them with us. We made it an hour home and got a phone call that his truck keys were in the pants he gave us. We had to drive back, give him keys, and drive home. We could have made it to Vegas by then!
