Today, September 21st, we are Giving Away Products from TWO Companies...(CLAIMED)


GIVEAWAY #1: A $30.00 Gift Certificate from Southern Living at Home

A few weeks ago I picked my son up from his friend's house. The friend's mom invited me in to chat for a second while my son was putting on his shoes. I happened to glance at their kitchen table and I instantly wished it were mine. Arranged nicely on their table were matching plates, place mats, napkins, and cups. It was not a special occassion nor Sunday dinner, it was an ordinary weeknight. Yet this sweet mom had made her family's dinner so inviting. A lovely place where her family could gather to discuss their day while sharing an evening meal together.

Today I am happy to introduce you to Southern Living at Home, a company whose mission is to create a feeling of welcome, comfort, and beauty in homes all across America.

Many of us have always known that home is, indeed, where the heart is. It's where family comes together in happiness and comfort. It's where we can change the world for better, just a little bit, simply by making our house a home. What a wonderful time to focus on home. As the days start to grow shorter and the air gets chilly, we are all looking for a place to snuggle up! Creating a haven of comfort and filling a house with memories are such wonderful gifts we can give our families.
Southern Living at Home's products are designed to mix and match in many spots of your home. Many of their products are are specifically made for entertaining, whether it's a family of four or the whole neighborhood.
Southern Living at Home has created their products with pride and hope that these products will become a part of your family's memories.

Southern Living at Home consultant Kristy Chulahoff would like to offer the readers of Give Away Today a 15% DISCOUNT on all things found in their catalog. You can receive this discount by emailing Kristy at kristyc34@cox.net and letting her know that Give Away Today sent you.
Kristy is also giving one lucky Give Away Today reader a $30.00 Gift Certificate. You can enter to win the gift certificate up to FOUR times today.

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

For a second entry, please visit Kristy's Southern Living at Home website here. Look at all of their amazing products for your home. Once you have done this, please return to Give Away Today and in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and what you would use your $30.00 gift certificate on if you are the winner.
Example: Jane Doe: I would use my gift certificate towards the Galveston Sectioned Server.

For a third entry, you can do ONE of the following. Either visit Kristy Chulahoff's blog here and become a follower OR send Kristy your email address at kristyc34@cox.net so she can add you to her monthly newsletter. Once you have done one of these things, in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and what you did for the third entry.
Example: Jane Doe: Follower

For a fourth entry, on the way home from picking my son up from his friend's house (as related in the opening paragraph) I received a $90.00 ticket!! Bahhhh!! So for a fourth entry, in a NEW comment tell us your first and last name and the last ticket you received and why.
Example: Jane Doe: This is a long story, so I'll make it short. My parents were over for dinner, my son was at his friend's house but the line was busy so I decided to go get him, my dad parked behind me so I had to take his car, my dad had just arrived home from a trip and I didn't realize that there was no room in the car for my son so I had him sit in-between the driver and passenger seats, we passed a cop, I got pulled over IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE (because I had only driven two streets away), cop gave me $45 ticket for not having my son in a seatbelt (I'll take that, I was being irresponsible), but then he also gave me a $45.00 for not having my license, but did I mention we were IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE? I know the cop was only doing his job, but c'mon, someone in my family (because they were all standing on the front lawn watching us) could have brought me my license. But the cop would not let them. I do believe I will walk next time I need to pick my son up for dinner (even if it means our soup will get cold).

The winner of the $30.00 gift certificate from Southern Living at Home will be announced tomorrow Tuesday, September 22nd. Please visit us then to see if you are our winner and to discover our new giveaways for the day. Thanks and we'll see you tomorrow!

Sally Dean; I have never had a ticket. Knock on wood. But my children who have recently taken drivers ed classes, say that the law says that you have to HAVE a license not have it ON YOU.

Angie Saunders- I got a ticket just 2 weeks ago on my birthday, for being parked in a school zone which they said was a no parking between 8-4. I was in the school attending a PTA meeting. Not very cool, but I took picture to prove I was in an area that the curb was not painted and no sign posted, so I didn't have to pay it. Ü

Kelly Jones. My last ticket was 13 years ago. The speed limit had just barely changed and I didn't notice the sign so the cop gave me a ticket for going 44 in a 35. To top it off I was going downhill!

Robin Brooks. I got my last ticket about 8 years ago. I was getting off work at about 11pm and was just in my own world, excited to be off and go home. The cop was right at the top of the hill I was going down. Didn't even see him till his lights were flashing behind me. First and only ticket. I was not happy.

Robin Brooks. How does anyone narrow it down? I loved everything I saw. Seeing how it's for $30, and I just cleaned off my mantle so I could start decorating it cute rather than with DVD's, I thought the Firefly Lantern would look perfect there.

Ashlee Andersen said...

Ashlee Andersen,

My last ticket was actually a car accident. I was in Logan driving in the icy, snowy roads and slid right into the side of another car.. The officer gave me a ticket and said that I was going to fast for the conditions.. I was going like 10mph and didn't even do any damage.. Cops suck, I learned my lesson though because I haven't gotten a ticket in over 7 years now.

Michelle said...

Michelle Weymouth, speeding ticket on my way to pick my son up from Preschool in May. Now my 2 year old points out every motorcycle cop as the one who gave mommy a ticket!

Grum said...

Linda DiVall

I was driving home from school early on election day. Our principal sent us home early so that we could go vote. I forgot that it was early---still school zone time---and I didn't heed the school zone signs. I usually drive through there long after the school zone is inactive. I'm a teacher, I should have known better. That was an expensive election day.

Sherri Gunn I would purchase anything red, but that glass dome is catching my eye too! How do you pick just one thing?!

gunnfam said...

Sherri Gunn...my first ticket I got when I was 16, and almost got an evading the officer ticket. I didn't know he could pull you over with just his lights on...I thought he had to have his sirens on too! After about 6 blocks those came on also!

My husband, on the other hand, has gotten pulled over TWICE lately because the cop suspects "IMPAIRED DRIVING" (no drinking at all involved!) It bothers him if I'm a "back seat driver" BUT who's the one being pulled over?!?? :)
