DUH, NUH, NUH, NA NA NA NUH NUH-
YOU SAY IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY!
Yes, yes. I do. That’s right. It’s finally my birthday! Good gravy, I apparently like some build up- what with all the giveaways and whatnot (or else it just happens to fall on a Friday this year). I guess I should tell you I’m 32 (in case you missed last year’s birthday or the one before that) and I really think age is relative. So, you don’t have to tell me I’m young- or worse- I’m old; I’m happy right where I am (because I’ve thought about it and I don’t seem to have a choice).
Since today is my birthday (and for the behind the scenes scoop- I write these posts the night before) and I’d like to be well- rested, this post will be short and sweet.
You most likely know that I opened a monogramming shop in May and am LOVING it! I don’t think I can honestly say I’ve ever “loved” a job until now. It has been wonderful and I missed it while I was closed for maternity leave. I officially started orders again this week and am so happy to be back!
I have a whole office full of wonderful baby items (burp cloths, bibs, towels, loveys, pillows, nap mats), kitchen goodies (aprons, towels, placemats), travel accessories (duffel bags, overnight totes), children’s clothing, hats, tailgaiting accessories (liquor not included, but recommended)- YOU NAME IT! (And if you want something that I don’t have, I will do my best to find it for you.) You will have to hop over to the site for all the pictures because I really spent most of the night updating that site- not this one. 
You just get words today- my pet peeve (so sad on my very own birthday!).
WAIT- here’s one my favorite birthday pics for you. Will that work?
OK, whew- that was close. Picture-less posts would not be ME on my birthday.
I am going to try something new soon, though. I have small quantities of several items that I’m going to sell (clearanced priced!) on Facebook to my facebook group. See those boxes over there? –>All you have to do is click to join! Super easy! So, I’d like to have as many people as possible in that group (Do you like my full disclosure, here?).
Here’s where you come in.
For the giveaway today, I’d like to try to get as many people in that group as possible with your help.
Today’s Giveaway is a $75 Gift Certificate to Mint Julep Monograms!
Here’s how you can enter to win:
Entry/ Comment 1) Click over to the updated website- www.mintjulepmonograms.com and let me know your favorite item or what you would buy if you won.
Entry/ Comment 2) Join the Mint Julep Monograms Facebook group (again—> right there) and let me know you did or your cute little head is already in there.
Entry/ Comment 3 AND 4) THIS IS WORTH 2 ENTRIES- (leave 2 comments) post info about this giveaway on your facebook page and invite your friends to come over to the updated site or register for the giveaway (I’ll have info on that page to link here). It’s as easy as, “Found a great giveaway today! Check out @Mint Julep Monograms to learn about a chance for $75 of free monogrammed goodies. And if you win, you owe me a present.” Or “Don’t even think about going over to become a fan of @Mint Julep Monograms. I want to win the giveaway *ahem*.” Feel free to steal either of those; I don’t mind at all.
Entry/ Comment 5) Although I have found that the majority of you lovely readers are not twitter-ific, if you are a fan of “the twitter”, tweet about the giveaway and the facebook fan group. Yes, I’ll sell out anyway possible.
Many will enter, 1 will win! Each comment is a separate entry and there is a possibility of 5 entries.
One winner will be drawn next Tuesday.
Have fun! I can’t wait to hear your favorite items (really, I can’t!!).
