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!

Monica Gonzalez: So it's not really a full on out vacation but I was going on a camping trip with some friends a couple of weeks ago and we ended up coming back home the same night because one of the people we went with didn't want to start a fire in the middle of nowhere if we didn't have a concrete fire pit! Are you kidding me? This person had obviously never been camping for real before. And worst of all, it was a guy.

Stacy Oaks-once on a stop in St. Lewis, my husband, sister and I had to stay in a hotel where the room had not been cleaned. We had to change the sheets ourselves and push the dirty towels to the side. Gross! We got our money back, but I think that they should have paid us to stay there since we did all of the house cleaning!

The Lucksters said...

Kellie Jorgensen: One year we went to my husband's family reunion in the mountains of Idaho. We were in a tent. (NOT WATERPROOF) It rained like never before. All of our clothes, sleeping bags, everything soaked up water. A lovely aunt of my husbands suggested we hand it all up, it would dry! Ya. Shes a gem. needless to say, we had to drive to Idaho falls, and spend the night in a 24 hour laundry mat drying our stuff.

Rebekah Bowers: my husband and I went away for our first anniversary (4th of July weekend) and didn't make reservations. We almost had to spend the night in a "rent by the hour" kind of hotel! Thankfully, around 1am, we got lucky and found another hotel (12 families came in looking for a room while we were waiting for our room to be cleaned).

Liz Lett: Some years ago we participated in a family camping trip near Moab, UT. It was late and pouring rain when we got there, so we quickly pitched our borrowed tent and crawled into our sleeping bags. We awoke the next morning with 5 inches of water in the bottom of the tent. Spent the next two nights sleeping in the back of a truck. :-( BTW Moab is a beautiful area!!

My bed felt sooo good when I got home!!

DottieLou said...

it wasn't really bad.. but we went to Yellowstone on a whim and needed a place to stay... we found a tiny little cabin that was really scary... the shower was duct taped together, no one dared sleep in the sheet so we slept on top of the bed.. the mirror was a broken piece of glass with a rope hot glued to it. In the morning we found a real hotel about 1/2 up the road... ahhhh but it made for a good story

Andrea J. Bacigalupo said...

I blew a tire and it smacked and broke the cable to keep the hood down so it popped up too. It was crazy and it took a little longer for our trip to get started.

Unknown said...

Collette Gerber - trip to Palmyra, NY to celebrate our 2nd anniversary. My husband thought it would be romantic to stay in a bed and breakfast. The bed and breakfast was actually a house with orange shag carpet and ants. The lady went on and on about the history of our room and the lady who died in it - then showed us her picture on the wall. That's also when we realized we would be sharing a bathroom with all the other boarders. And, being newlyweds and wanting to, um, "celebrate" our anniversary freaked us out because of Dead Abigail staring at us from the wall and our extremely squeaky full-size bed. And the lady also told us she had a meeting at 7 in the morning. Breakfast was at 6am and she needed us out by 6:30. Not a lot to do in Palmyra at 6:30am. We learned to always ask a bed and breakfast if you get your own bathroom.

Jessie Selk- My worst trip was when I was by myself pregnant and traveling with a 2 year old. Our final flight was canceled due to storms which had knocked out the power at our house. No way to get a hold of my husband and then had to drive the rest of the way in a van crossing my fingers that he would be waiting at the airport when we got there.

Alysia Bischoff- Once we got to the hotel we had reserved late one night and the didn't have any clean rooms, so the woke up the maid who cleaned it in about 3 minutes. It was so gross inside, the carpet was dirty and there was moldy food in the fridge. We would have left but every onther hotel around was full. Aside from that the rest of the vaca was great.
