Winter is coming… Contest!

November is coming, and it’s getting colder. (not in New Bern NC, but I'm sure it’s getting colder somewhere.)

so:

the votes I had for the November giveaway (which I’m changing to my Winter Contest) were almost all for a scarf! so I’m making a scarf for the giveaway. it’s chenille, and a lovely caramel color, I'll post a picture when it’s done. I'm also making another scarf which is a mossy Christmas tree green color and is suitable for boys or girls. (just a heads-up.) you’ll have a chance to win both here, and there will be lots of extra entries!

+5 if you refer a follower (the new follower has to say “___ referred me”)

+1 for posting on your sidebar

+5 posting my button on your blog (see right hand side bar)

+5 for posting a separate post (leave link in the comments, plz)

+ 1 every comment you write on anything I post from October 9th  to November 30th. these have to be real comments, not just “yay! awesome!” or “good review.” please say something of some value, either input or participating in a discussion or comments on a review. it is at my discretion to include a comment in your points or not. (note: if you comment on a review or something, you don’t have to come back here and tell me, i can keep track. just make sure you’re signed in or leave an e-mail address.)

Here is a picture of the first scarf. (scarf only ;D not the coat.)

+1 tweet this contest including  “@haleymathiot #wct”  so i can find it easily. you can do this daily! (comment here every time you do.) also you can post this on myspace or facebook.

+__ sometimes on a post I'll have a question to answer or something, and I'll tell you how much you get for it. example: my review of I Can’t Keep My Own Secrets has bonus points for participating in that comment/discussion. (you don’t have to comment here every time you do that—again, i can keep track of it.)

I’ll keep track of these on an excel spreadsheet, so always leave your e-mail address or make sure you’re signed into your account every time you post! there is no limit of points you can earn. you can post multiple comments on this post if you need to. (i.e. if you twittered every day)

contest will end 12:00am on December 1st. I’ll choose the winner ASAP (probably later that day) and post it here, you’ll have 48 hours to reply, and if you don’t reply i’ll pick another winner. I pick by printing out the names from my excel spreadsheet and drawing out of a bowl. (because I’m cheap like that.)

I’m ending this on December 1st so that the winner can get their scarf before Christmas.

so comment away! and hopefully two people will have scarves this winter :D

  14. Ok, so i'm a relatively new follower. And I have recently shared your blog with both Christy Steel and Kelly Scher. They were both thrilled to learn of it, though i'm not sure of their future interaction. That kind of seems like a referral?
    Also I saw you riding your bike today twice (once by pias and once near your home), both times going the same direction (west), but wearing different cloths, only 30 min. apart, how'd you do that?
