Hello to Bloggy Giveaway Readers! Check out our Amazon.com Giveaway!

Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival Button

Hello to my current readers, and an extra hello to everyone visiting through the Bloggy Giveaways carnival!

My name is Angie, and my blog, Many Little Blessings, is a collection of writings about our daily lives as a family of five. We are newer Catholic converts (April 2oo7, though we have attended a Catholic Church since the summer of 2006).

You'll also read on our blog as we... homeschool (check out our new homeschooling group blog -- it has a giveaway too!), raise kids full of spunk (and a couple with special needs), garden, cook and menu plan, strive to live a more simple life (although it is really a struggle), work on household management, try to live a little greener, enjoy time with family and friends, infuse some humor into life, muse on topics from potty training to mortality to scrapbooking to marriage, and always try to count our Many Little Blessings (If you're interested in subscribing to Many Little Blessings, you can do so through this link or use an email subscription in the left sidebar).

Because I can always find something I would love to have at Amazon.com, I suspect that you all can too! So, I decided to give away a $20 Amazon.com gift certificate!

Plus -- there's another giveaway! Please add in your comments if you would like to be entered to win an item of your choice from my Etsy shop! I will do a random number selector for this item second, but will only choose from those that say that they would be interested in an item of their choice from my Etsy shop.

Here's the scoop on what you need to do to get an entry into the contest:

*Comment on this Post!

*Your comment must include an interesting fact about you or your blog. I required this last time, and I had SUCH a fun time reading about everyone! Plus, the extra bonus is that someone might read your interesting thing and want to visit your blog because of it!

*Comment before the comments are closed on this post at 11:59 pm EST on August 1st. (Winner to be announced on August 2nd!)

*If you are contacted, be sure to be in contact with me within three days. If I don't hear back from you in that time frame, I'll have to randomly pick a different winner.

Comments Closed - Drawing will be held on 8/2/08

I am also a Catholic convert, but not quite so new as you. It has been interesting to experience the sacraments with my children. I would love to be entered in your Etsy givaway, too. I seem to remember you have Catholic items there. I'm not very interesting! I telecommute part-time and have two girls who attend a private Christian school.

Like my blog title says, I have two kids and I'm tired! I love good chocolate and good books (hence the book blog too). My boys are delightful and we have a lot of fun.

Great giveaway. Thanks!

reprehriestless warillever said...

I have subscribed to our blog since the last "Bloggy Giveaway," and though I don't comment often I am a loyal reader.

I have been blogging since 2005, but it is only in the last few months that I have been regular about it. My favorite part is having a record of my children's growth.

I'd love to win and be entered in your Etsy shop giveaway too! Thanks for the chance. As for an interesting fact about me or my blog....my daughter is called Boopy, not because she's like Betty Boop but because it's how her brother first said "baby". Poor girl will be in high school and still get called Boopy by her brother! She even refers to herself as Boopy!

CrystalGB said...

I love Amazon. I am an avid reader and love to talk about books.

Kristin said...

I guess the most interesting thing about me and my blog is that we are a homeschooling family of 11! My blog is mostly about my kids ages 1-20, so come on over and visit (and check out my giveaway, too!)

Forgetfulone said...

Please enter me in BOTH drawings! Your altered clip board is fabulous!

Mrs. Sara said...

Thanks for the giveaway! I'm not sure how interesting it is, but a fact about me is that I'm 23 weeks pregnant, and my baby LOVES using my bladder as a trampoline! EEK!

Sarah said...

i'd love to be entered into both as well, too, please!

interesting fact about me...i love watching mystery like shows and movies or things with a twist. i love the challenge of figuring everything out before it's revealed.

Michelle Olsen Sasak said...

I could definitely use the GC to pare my wishlist down. An interesting fact about my blog: I have read over 100 books this year. I've also reviewed them all, so if you are interested, you should stop by and check it out.

flmom said...

An Amazon gc would be awesome! An interesting tidbit about me ... I can twitch my nose like a bunny. My kids think it's hilarious.

Beth @ TheAngelForever said...

An interesting fact about me. Well, my husband and I are not agreeing on whether or not to cut out 14 month old son's hair. I blogged about this last night.

Thanks for the great givaway!

Unknown said...

An intersting fact about me is that I'm the master of recycling/upcycling and the Queen of leftovers. I like to buy plain shirts at the thrift store and use scraps of old t-shirts and material to redocorate them.

Hmm an interesting fact. I teach photography to young kids, as well as at college level students. This fall I am starting a new photography course for handicapped children. Its going to be so great!

Misty said...

i'd love to win!
interesting fact: My blog name is rainydayinmay (as is my photography business) because years ago, I couldn't come up with a clever email address. Talking with a friend she said I should incorporate the month May in to it, because my middle name is Mae. With a first name of Misty, I thought "Hey, Rainydayinmay"...

Ronnica said...

I like this idea! One fact about my blog, Tale of a Kansas Girl, is that it is a decent reflection of me. Lately I've done a better job of sharing stuff that is a little closer to my heart: the struggle I have with being single.

Jenny said...

Interesting fact: I am planning to homeschool my daughter and just did a loooooong post on why last week. It's my favorite post I've ever done.

You do have some pretty things in your etsy shop so please enter me for those too!

Well, there's not much interesting about me, but I would love an Amazon gc!

I will tell you something I did recently, which is related to giveaways and books, though: one of my bloggy friends gave away a book on her blog. I won. And I consequently was so enthralled with said book that I ignored EVERYTHING for like two whole days while reading said book.

Oh the guilt.

That's all! Told ya, not too interesting! LOL

Anonymous said...

Everyone loves Amazon :)

A sort of interesting fact about me/my blog is that I'm always wanting to change the theme but do it rarely.. but I did change everything recently and it was a bit of a nightmare which would probably go back to why I do it so little :)

Deborah said...

please enter me! on my blog i give away lots of books every week.

Nicol said...

Yeah Amazon. Hmmmm.....something about me. I have a beautiful dd that took my 7 years to get, I love to decorate and I run a daycare. I want to be classy and sophisticated thus the name of my blog.

An interesting fact about me...hmmm. How about the fact that I have never had a driver's license? I don't know if that is interesting or just sad. I am a Canadian, living in the U.S., and homeschooling my kids. I enjoy cooking. I think my blog pretty much reflects those things.

Jennifer said...

You are right about Amazon, that is why I keep my wish list fully stocked.

I just redesigned my blog last night and am looking for feedback on it. (Is that interesting enough?)

Jackie said...

Amazon rocks...great choice! :)

I blog about my life out here in the desert...we are currently in the throes of potty training my 2 1/2 year old girl, which is an adventure in itself.

Anonymous said...

Thanks for the great giveaway.

An interesting fact about me is that I was adopted as an infant. My older brother is my parents biological son, but adopted his daughter as an infant. So although my parents have 3 grandchildren (I have 2 sons), none of them are their biological grandkids.....not that it means a thing to them....but it is interesting, no?

Anonymous said...

Well, I'm a mom to 3 under 5, blogger, Christian book reviewer, homeschooler etc. etc. same old, same old ;).

I'd love to be entered for your Etsy giveaway too, some nice prints there.

Unknown said...

This was actually kinda hard for me ... something unique or interesting about me ... hmmmm ... maybe my fear of popping biscuit cans or my inability to touch raw ground meat with my hands. Don't know if that's necessarily interesting, but definitely weird.

Thanks for the chance to win.

I love shopping Amazon. I do not have a blog, but I do enjoy reading them.

Interesting fact...I used to not like the color pink, but then I had a baby girl and now I love it. Okay, that's kind of boring, but it's all I could think of right now!

Qtpies7 said...

I guess it is strange, but even with 7 kids, I enjoy cloth diapers rather than the "quick" way of disposables! How can more laundry really be noticed at my house? I am currently about 3 years behind on laundry with no catch-up in sight!

Alitheia said...

Well I can't say too much about my blog since I haven't actually posted anything on it (I know, I'm bad, but I never seem to have time) so I guess I'll have to say something about me =) I'm a amateur photographer(as in I haven't ever attempted to sell my stuff yet) and an avid reader that also reviews books for a friend of mine on www.bittenbybooks.com a site for urban fantasy & paranormal reviews. I also have far too many cats & couple dogs and live in an oak hammock beneath a 300 year old Magnolia Tree. Interesting enough? or do I have break out the last time my cat Rover decided he belongs on my shoulder much as he used to ride around when he was a baby, needless to say it was less then a week ago and now he's pushing a year old and is longer them the back of my chair which he tries to compensate with since my shoulder just doesn't have the space necessary for his orange behind ;)

Something interesting about me? Okay, well my blog is all about paranormal romance books and the contests online for them. But in real life I am firmly set in reality and know that Vampires and other paranormal creatures are not real.

Suzie Williams said...

I love Amazon.com. I checked out your Etsy shop and I'd love to have the Catholic jewelry supplies. I wanted to learn how to make roserys and make a few for my fiance's family.

Something interesting about me (that I actually thought of this afternoon and said, Hey if someone asks for an intresting tidbit during Bloggy Carnival I can tell them)- I eat around the edges of things like pop-tarts and sandwiches. I don't do it in public, but at home I eat around the edges and keep doing it until I have just a small piece that I eat.

majellamom said...

Great giveaway!

Let's see...interesting thing about me or my blog...

I started my blog as a place to vent about stuff while I was pregnant with my younger daughter. It has morphed into a way for my hubby and I to keep touch with friends, meet new friends and generally be dorks and write about things we are interested in (recently hubby blogged about the 40th anniversary of Humane Vitae, for instance)

We are also hosting a giveaway-two books. From me: "Guiltless Catholic Parenting from A to Y" by Bert Ghezzi
From hubby: "A Prairie Home Companion Pretty Good Joke Tape."

BTW - I'm a convert of over 10 years now.

Well I guess it might be interesting that I write about life with 5 kids? We cover "the talk", toddlers setting kitchens on fire, and my son's attempts to get away with not showering.

It's a great life! And I love the ballerina print in your etsy shop! That would be sweet to win for my daughter.

I love to read, so I'd love that Amazon GC to purchase more books, especially "Breaking Dawn" that comes out this Saturday! Hmmm, an interesting fact? I took a class at my local YMCA called "Couch to 5K", a beginning running class, and I ran in my first 5K race a couple of weeks ago.

Oooh Amazon!! Etsy!! From your Etsy, I really like the Williamsport Indiana town square clock (5x7 photograph matted to 8x10). Very my style.

Ok, interesting fact about me or my blog... On my blog I tend to blog more about the books that I have read lately and some of the random stuff I have seen around town. In fact, if I win the Amazon-it's purchasing books! And I have my own Etsy shop, which you can see link to on the sidebar of my blog. This blog is one of my favorites.

Well, my blog is all about our journey to China to bring our sweet daughter home. Now that she is home, it is about keeping up with her and life as 'older' parents! Emi Victoria made our family complete on October 29, 2007 and has brought joy, laughter and more love than we thought possible to us. She amazes us every day, is smart as a whip and is often called Danger Girl. :) Feel free to visit our blog, I love showing off sweet Emi!

I use pseudonyms for my kids: Crunchy, Munchie and Chewie. The baby is Munchie (short for Munchkin). My daughter decided to be Crunchy and my oldest son (a Star Wars fan) decided to be Chewie (short for Chewbaca).

Kathleen said...

Interesting is so much in the eye of the beholder! I will say that a perhaps somewhat unusual fact about me is that I used to roller skate competitively. You know, like you see ice skaters do at the Olympics and on special programs and so forth? We were certain it too would one day become an Olympic event.

Karen Coutu said...

Something interesting about me and my blog is that I host a Tuesday meme about children called "Silly Monkey Stories" and I am the creator of the Addictive Blog Award.

Thanks for offering such a great prize!

Angie, Amazon is a great place to shop! Sign me up. In my shop, I put my children to work - Gabriel creates art for my to use in my appliqués and Ethan models the results. Yes, money goes into Gabriel's college fund every time I sell something. Check out pictures of Ethan wearing Gabriel's art on my blog (just click my name above). Quirky fact about me - I m overly verbose and tend to over-volunteer.

Molly C. said...

An interesting thing about my blog, is that I'm a newbie at blogging. My little blog hopes to grow up to be as successful as other blogs. I hope to review products, books I've read, movies I've seen, and just in general talk about my kids and family. I would also love to be entered for your second drawing for an Etsy item.
