"Bloggy Giveaway Carnival" is here again!

Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival Button

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to enter - I hope you'll come back and visit again.

It's time once again for the "Bloggy Giveaway Carniaval". If you're not sure what this is, here's the scoop -- go HERE to get all the details and to find the Mr. Linky post with all the participating bloggers. Then, visit any or all of the participants that you want, and sign up for a chance to win their giveaways. There's always a huge turnout and many, many, fabulous prizes offered.

Now, for my giveaway....I thought and thought and really wanted to come up with something unique and clever. But, alas, I have decided to take the easy (i.e. lazy) way out and offer as my prize a $15 Target gift card. Everyone loves Target and everyone loves gift cards, right? And, with Christmas coming up, every little bit helps.

If you would like a chance to win, here's what you need to do: leave a comment on this post and, just for fun, tell me one thing on your Christmas list this year. You must reside in the U.S. and, please be sure to leave a way for me to contact you if you are the winner. I will choose a winning name at random on Thursday afternoon.

Remember to click on the link above to see all the other bloggy giveaways. Good luck!

One thing on my wish list? ... I really want a nice little clean and toxin-free vintage travel trailer so I can drive down and see my parents!!! I have severe Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and can not handle the scented items I'd be exposed to on an airplane so drive I must - just need to find a trailer.
