A "Special giveaway" just for you!

Some of my friends may already know sweet Ginger Knox, blog author of Savannah Granny!  

Ginger and I have been friends since way back before blogging.  

We met on Rate my space, and she was always one of the sweetest.  

Long before she started a blog she would email both myself and my Mom, just to say Hi, and to say the sweetest of thoughts. 

 Well, finally Miss Ginger started her very own blog.

Not only does Ginger have a blog now, she and her daughter Kim, recently have ventured out into the world of Etsy.

Savannah Secret Seller

To kick things off, Ginger asked if I would host a giveaway for her to help spread the word

Why of course I will, I am both happy and excited for you and your lovely daughter.

You do know Ginger is a sweet Southern Gal, so a book and tea pot would be so appropriate.

This little cozy is the best...it is reversible too.

The teapot is an "Infusor Teapot", the cover is a "reversible tea cozy with Savannah scenes" The scene is of Forsyth Park Fountain.  Forsyth Park fountain was thought to be a copy of the one in the Place de la Concorde, Paris, France. by Hittorff.

Stencil Giveaway!

When the fine folks over at Cutting edge stencils, offered my readers a generous stencil giveaway, I was ALL over it!

{so many options}

I recently showed you all my fun projects that I have created this past year using some very generic stencils.

HERE

Imagine what you can do with a custom, fine quality design of your own.

There are so many to choose from, and the patterns are all unique.

Some of you may have never even used a stencil, and that is OK.

They are very simple and user friendly and I have added a video for your review. Here is a user friendly HOW to....

HERE

Here is what they have to say:

Our reusable wall stencils are  easy to use,  amazingly cost effective and in so many ways better than wallpaper or vinyl decals! Stencils are an emerging hot decorating trend that is getting more and more popular as DIY decorators discover the ease and versatility of stenciling. Creatinggorgeous rooms with simple wall stencils is easier and faster than you think, and even beginners get great results.   With so many designs to choose from, we've got stencils for any room in your house.  Our wall stencils are created by professional faux finishers and decorators Greg Swisher and Janna Makaeva. We would love to share our passion and expertise in wall decorating with you!...

****Cutting edge stencils is offering one of my Friends/Followers***

a $50.00 valued stencil prize, which  will include the shipping.

There are plenty to choose from in this price range.

I am NOT the host of this amazing turn of events out here in the blogosphere,

 however, I agreed to blab about it. 

Two new blogging friends Lori and Robyn, ( Robyn story of Design and boutique) 

who are stockists for Annie Sloan paint came to me just yesterday and asked if I could help spread the word about this.  I guess I have that Blabbing reputation! 

(truth is I am the best secret keeper EVA) and I would love to have this all to myself!

But when It comes to good stuff, like this, I just have to share..so that I will.

Annie Sloan Chalk paint and more!

Speaking of friends...

My friend Vicky form Granny's attic is having a 

lovely giveaway.

All fun things vintage, romantic and unique.

Head on over so she can throw your name in the pot too!

About Giveaways and a catch!

 HA, there is no catch, read on.......
So we all see giveaways so often out here in Blog land. One of the driving factors is to get more of a new following most of the time.

I have done two giveaways since my blog opening back in January. One was my personal handbags that I did not use anymore, and the second one was a CSN giveaway. CSN has been a big giveaway deal out here. The internet shopping store is awesome! I will say that. I recently had a choice of a review or a giveaway. I chose the review. My code was for $60.00 which is pretty generous. I was not sure what I would get with it, and after pondering I wound up with some awesome bar stools. Two for 60.00! Can you believe that? After tax and shipping they cost me 10.00.

I have another opportunity coming up again soon, at THAT  time I will be doing a giveaway instead of a review and that comes, WITHOUT any criteria at all. What I mean by that is you will NOT have to follow me in order to participate and possibly win. I want my following to be a loyal, more authentic following. One of which, we engage with one another on occasion, share ideas, inspire one another. Kinda like my reality life. Peeps are NOT my friend because I give them something.  I care about friendships, showing kindness to one another, perhaps inspiring. So,based on my experience which is not much, giveaways and a new loyal following really do not come hand and hand, IMO.
You do know, I can share a good craft, I can share a bad craft, I can share a smile, a lending ear, and I can offer you my friendship...and on occasion a good story to tell. Oh and let's not forget the advise I need on occasion.

So I am just putting it out there, that my next giveaway comes without any stipulations at all!
NOW, if you want to follow me, that makes it authentic to me. Some of the gals who did choose to follow me, during my giveaways, I actually thought it was a start of new friendships and interaction, I only felt a disappointment to see them unfollow me after the giveaway. So based on that, and not that alone, I have decided two things. I will only participate in giveaways that I  already follow the blog , or I will only participate in a giveaway if I really like the blog and want to follow. It will not be based on the GIVEAWAY stipulation.....gosh I hate rules I just realized that HAHAHA!!~  One disclosure I would like to make, is I have no problem with the giveaways on other blogs and their criteria. I only speak on my behalf, my personal feelings, and my personal experience.  You will never see a giveaway again on my blog with a become a new follower stipulation.
Sorry if I am off base, or offend anyone by my feelings...feel free to share your own on this...perhaps we can learn from one another's thought process. One more thing I would like to add is I went back to my giveaway posts and looked at all the entries who were new followers.  Based on 207 entries, and around 40 new followers, I have seen one gal since, and a lot of the others unfollowed me. So these are my own stats, and again based on my experience and thoughts on this.

HEY here are my new barstools!!~ They are getting a mini makeover, because the top was a little too light.

These are just a sneak peek, I have some projects brewing here at Witchville Debbiedoos!
DON'T forget about my GARAGE SALEN PARTY....I am seeing some awesome scores this week.  I have to tell you too, this week my hubs and I went thrifting, and let me just say some of you gals really score on your prices, because I saw some of the same stuff I see out here,  for a lot of money.  I told my husband I know too much about thrifting now and prices. Or maybe I am just too CHEAP!
