The moment....

...you've all been waiting for!!




The winner from the Mule Day/I Love Fall Giveaway was selected via the Integer Generator @ Random.org. I mainly used this because I was tickled to be able to say "random integer generator"... and I also got a very reminiscent feeling when I visited the website. Just look at this:

Part 1: The Integers
Generate random integers (maximum 10,000).
Each integer should have a value between and (both inclusive; limits ±1,000,000,000).
Format in column(s).

Doesn't that just scream high school math class, freshly sharpened pencils, and the aroma of that (beloved) OCD math teacher who polished the beautiful wood floor of his classroom himself daily with Orange Glow and a dustmop?

It Soooo does!

Okay, so where was I?...Ohhhh yeah, the winner!

Carrie @ A New Heart!

Congratulations! Now, you must all go over and visit Laurel to check out the winners from all of the other giveaways and check out her fabulous new blog design which she did herself!! As someone who's technologically challenged (to say the least!) I'm so totally impressed! Go over and show her some comment love on her new design and for the great idea (not to mention all her hard work!) of the I love Fall Giveaway!

Thank you for allowing me to participate Laurel! It's been so much fun and I'm enjoying getting around to all the blogs and meeting all the new people who participated!

Carrie...I'll be emailing you!

Mule Day Giveaway!

.....(or as those of you not from Itty Bitty, Alabama might call it.) The Labor Day kickoff of the I love Fall Giveaway, hosted by Laurel Wreath!

But if you were to live in my town, you'd know that today is Mule Day! Mule Day is the annual Labor Day celebration we host here each year where thousands (seriously, thousands!) of people descend on us here in Itty Bitty for a day of draft horse pulls, mule competitions, car shows, pony rides, ect, and it's all kicked off by a parade down the main highway ('cause we don't have streets here!)...oh, and most importantly the FOOD!

I promise to delight you with photos from the day's festivities once I return, but in the meantime, lets get to the giveaways!

In honor of my Mule Day/I love Fall Giveaway, I present to you my giveaway for today, I like to call it BBQ Dreams!:

This lovely prize package includes the following:

Sugar & Grits: A book about four strong women with a dash of sweetness.....and a heart for God!

Our Daily Bread, The Joy of New Life!: A Special edition of ODB designed for new parents. A fantastic devotional to help encourage and inspire parents of young children in their daily walk with God. (2 copies, 1 to keep, 1 to give away!)

Now, if you live anywhere in Alabama, Mississippi, or Tennessee you have no doubt heard of and love these next two items. If not, you can get it here and simply must try it! No self respecting southerner would dare attempt a BBQ without it!

Big Bob Gibson Championship Red Sauce (1 bottle) (this is awesome in hamburgers!)

Big Bob Gibson Original White Sauce (1 bottle)

....and a few other things to enhance your holiday BBQ experience!

Grill It Quick Cookbook, The Pampered Chef

Grilling Planks, The Pampered Chef

Microfiber Dishtowel, The Pampered Chef

....did ya'll notice that every single thing in my prize packet had something to do with food?...and did I mention I'm a Pampered Chef a time or twenty?

Now, all you have to do to enter is to leave a comment! (be sure to leave me an email addy so I can contact you if you win!) I will be picking a number at random and announcing the winner on September 10, along with all the other winner's of Laurel's fabulous I love Fall Giveaways.
