Bloggy Giveaway Carnival... Win A "Thomas Kinkade" Keepsake Bible!!  

Posted


Well, look at that... I had a special Bible to giveaway this week for my bloggy readers, and I just happened to find out that it's time for the semi-annual Bloggy Giveaway Carnival.

How fun is that? So, if you're new to this blog, enter the giveaway (see details farther down) and then poke around a bit. The "best of the best" is over there, down to the right. I encourage you to read a few of those posts to get to know me. I'm a Christian, who loves to defend my faith and help others find their way to Christ. I also like to review books, find new restaurants and debate controversial topics. I love my readers, and welcome you to share your thoughts and comments.

So now... here's the prize! For the Bloggy Giveaway Carnival I am giving away a burgundy, faux-leather Thomas Kinkade family keepsake Bible. This thing is gorgeous. Check out some photos of it:






It's so gorgeous. It's the kind of Bible that one keeps in the family for many generations. There's a place to record births, deaths and marriages. There are full color photos of Thomas Kinkade paintings. It's just too cool.

To win, simply leave a comment with your contact info.
I'll pay for priority-mail shipping, but contest is open to U.S. residents only (sorry, international friends!). In the mean time, my blog will be on hiatus for a week to promote this giveaway. The winner will be announced on Saturday, April 26th. You don't have to be a blogger to enter -- just be sure to leave me an email address so that I can contact you. And if you don't win... don't fret! I hold my own personal Bible giveaway every other Sunday.

Thanks for stopping by! Can't wait to hear from you...

Have a great week and good luck!

~Maria

There are some giveaways that I enter knowing that there would be a decision to make if I won. Sometimes a hard decision... like should I give this to my brother as a wedding gift (I think it would be a fabulous one!) or keep it for myself?? Hmmm...

How neat that you have Bible giveaways! That is wonderful.

Thank you for the chance to win!

April 22, 2008 10:34 AM

I have to admit I have never read the Bible before. I have thought about it at various times. I was going to purchase one last summer with the extra money I had but things came up. I grew up in a non religious family and would love to have the chance to read it.

How beautiful! It occurs to me that we don't have a family Bible. We've been married 22 years and of course we all have our personal Bibles... but a family Bible would be a very special treasure. Thank you for the generous giveaway.

April 22, 2008 12:33 PM

Wow, what a beautiful & special giveaway. I always pull out the family Bible at my grandmother's house - not only did she record all the important events, but she tucked newspaper clippings and cards in between the pages, too, so I get to see my parents' engagement announcement, my aunts & uncles pictures in the paper for the honor roll.... My husband and I don't have a special Family Bible yet, but we would love to start that tradition too!

Oh, those are so cute! I have a wall of family pictures in our playroom/TV room -- I'd get a black frame with a tan background, and our last name, to go right in the top center of that wall!

You do beautiful work - thanks for the chance to win!
