Well friends, there's a first time for everything!
I'm going to try something that I've seen on a couple other blogs.
It's just a little over a week until I leave to come back, to the States, on our short medical furlough
(a.k.a. to have our baby).
I'm so super {tingly} excited to see my family and friends and good ole Walmart again!
The raincloud, on my parade, is the sad thoughts about missing Jamaica.
Our little church, my friends here, our home.
{sniff...double sniff}
Sooooo, getting to the point, I've decided to have a little giveaway
and bring a little box of Jamaica back for one of my wonderful followers!
I've been thinking about it for a few weeks now, and honestly can't decide what to giveaway.
I think I'll decide, for sure, after the winner is chosen.
That way I can best suit it to the winner.
My first thought was a bag of the famous {so yummy}
Blue Mountain Coffee.
But since everyone isn't a coffee drinker,
that wouldn't be the perfect item.
We'll have to wait and see what I come up with.
If you want to join the fun and enter in the giveaway here are the {simple} rules.
#1 You need to be a follower (old or new)
#2 Leave a comment after this post telling me your email address!
#3 You can do an extra entry by mentioning it on
your fb and/or blog
(just leave another comment telling me that you did)
Don't forget to include your email! Contest ends Friday Sept 10th at 8:00 (my time).
P.S. Important Note: I really hate excluding anyone, but participants need to have an American mailing address. So sorry to all my foreign friends.
