joandsue.blogspot.com's First Giveaway

No photos today! No recipes either....
Today's blog is about our first giveaway here at joandsue.blogspot.com.
In a perfect world we would like to host a giveaway a month but we will see how our first giveaway goes before making any promises.
Sue and I have sponsored this giveaway ourselves. We will be looking for sponsors for some of our future giveaways and contests but, for now, we are putting up the prize ourselves.
We have decided to give away a couple of cookbooks and a bottle of Oh! So Garlic seasoning.
Cookbook 1: Hershey's Classic Recipes
Cookbook 2: frame>by>frame baking: a visual step-by-step cookbook

The rules on how to enter:
1. This giveaway is open to everyone.
2. There will be one winner chosen by random drawing.
'3. The winner's name will be posted on our blog on January 22nd, 2012 and they will have 48 hours in which to respond. If the winner does not respond, a new winner will be chosen.
Ways to get entries:
1. Become a follower of the blog.
2. "Like" joandsue.blogspot.com on Facebook. (And, while it won't gain you anymore entries, we would love it if you posted this contest on your wall)
3. Follow @joandsue on Twitter and tweet this contest.
4. Blog about this giveaway and leave a link to your post on our blog giveaway post in a comment.
5. Get 1 additional entry for each one of our blogs that you pin on Pinterest. (Leave a comment on this giveaway blog to let us know what you pinned.)
6. Get 1 additional entry for each comment you leave on any one of our blog posts. (Of course we encourage you to actually read the blogs you comment on and not just comment for an entry.)
 
There you have it. There are tons of ways to get a lot of entries.
 
The Oh! So Garlic is an amazing seasoning that I have used often in our blogs. As for the 2 cookbooks - Hershey's Classic Recipes & frame>by>frame baking: a visual step-by-step cookbook - they are full of really great and delicious looking recipes.
If I had to estimate the value of the prize, I would say approximately $40.00.
 
This is our first giveaway and hopefully everything goes smoothly. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns about the giveaway.

    1. We do, Nora! I will post it tomorrow... after I read your request I ran home after work and made it. (Just wanted to make sure it would turn out - it's been a while since I've made a coffee cake) Tomorrow's blog will be the coffee cake. :)
