Amethyst Daydreams: Spring Carnival Giveaway!!

Sunday, May 1, 2011

Spring Carnival Giveaway!!

Welcome to my stop on the Spring Blog Carnival hop as part of the Carnival Extravaganza being hosted by Candace from Candace's Book Blog, Reading Angel, the Book Swarm and Lori from Pure Imagination! Thanks for hosting this shindig, girls! If you haven't hit their blogs to see what all the hoopla is about- you should!! I LOVE Candace's blog and I make sure to check it often. Pure Imagination has a BEAUTIFUL design (which Lori does herself) and she has some great giveaways and reviews. Make sure you check these ladies' blogs out!

Now, what do I have to celebrate spring for the carnival? I have one brand new copy of Dark Flame by Alyson Noel (the UK edition) and two amazingly beautiful spring themed bookmarks that I purchased just for this event from Handmade Whimsy on Etsy. They just scream spring to me and I <3 the butterfly and dragonfly charms on them!

So, to enter this time I am mixing things up a bit and trying a new entry system. To enter, leave your email address in the MyEmail AT gmail DOT com format to keep spammers from bugging you in a comment and that is it. One entry per Carnival Goer. I want to see if this way yields more or less entrants and whether or not being made to follow is a deterrent to entries. SO, leave your email in ONE comment per entrant and then on to the next! Feel free to follow if you want but it is not required. You're also welcome to enter my 500 Followers giveaway over on the giveaway page! The giveaway ends at 11:59 PM on May 8th! Thanks so much!!

The Carnival is over! Thanks for entering!!

Also just a note I don't mind having to GFC with the blog hops but I get really really annoyed when I have to GFC, Twitter, Facebook and run screaming naked down my street to be entered in for giveaways. The simpler it is the more happy I am. I also tend to follow those who DONT make me follow because I appreciate them not making me follow if that makes sense :) will follow away since yours is easy enough ;); May 2, 2011 at 11:34 PM
