Two Years? No Way! We Should Have A GiveAway!

Shout it out with me!

Two Years??
No Way!!
We Should Have a GiveAway!!

Wasn't that fun?
You can keep doing it if you want to.

Hard to believe that I've been blogging for two years.
And in these past two years, I've opened a whole new world for myself.
I have friends, really good friends, that I never would have met otherwise.

Every single person I've gotten to know here is so special to me.

My sweet painting friend in Canada
who struggles daily with her eyesight.

My loving, creative, hiking,
 red-headed artist in Colorado.

The most amazing, sweet,
cheeseball making girlfriend in California.

The snarky, petite whirlwind
 that I know I can call at the last minute
and she'll meet me at a thrift store.

Just too many people to mention. 
We have made a connection.
Something clicked between us.
We found common ground.
And we call one another friend.

And for that I am so grateful,
and truly blessed.

That said,
let's have a Craptastic Giveaway!!!!

The last time I had a giveaway
I was offering the stuff I found behind my refrigerator.
That didn't go so well.

Wanna see what I got for you?
Can you guess?
Try.

Nope.

It's this!!


Isn't she beautiful?
She's just like mine.

If you get it we could be twins.
And then we could dress alike
 and wear our hair the same way.
And since I'm the only person I know
who doesn't have an accent, I can learn yours.
How fun would that be?

If you want Hilda,
(that's her name, I asked her)
just leave a comment and I'll add your name
to the hat.

If you already have one of these
it would be perfect to re-gift.

Regifting is my middle name.
Actually it's Anne but I like the sound of
Holly Regifting Blevins
much bettter.

Leave me a comment
and I'll have my sister draw a name
when she's here on March 9th.
Because she's much more honest that I am.
And prettier.
And her tummy is flatter.
And everyone knows that those things are
the best criteria for gift picker outters.

If you don't have a blog,
be sure that I have some way to get a hold of you.

Feel free to invite your fellow bloggers
to join in this giveaway!
Unless you don't want the competition,
then just shut up about it.

Holly

ain't for city gals said...

OHHH...I would love Hilda..and I don't care if she has an accent!...let's do lunch after your sister leaves...or before?...I am only coming down every other week now...gas just hit $4.00 in Congress..boo hoo

RoeH said...

Ok - I'll take one. I'm sure you can pull a string. Hahahaha! I've been doing this blogging for five years now. If only I'd quit changing blogs I would have quite a few posts under my belts. You never knew my very first one.

Tresa said...

I have never used a "Hilda" before but I would sure love to try! Congrats on two years. Thank you for making me laugh!

Deb~in~Denver said...

Holly, I love your blog, sure am glad you came back after your little break! You make me laugh with each & every post. I don't have a Hilda, or an accent...would love one or the other. Enjoy your visit with your sister!

Dina said...

You crack me up. I would be thrilled to have your dryer lint! That looks funny actually written out but I'm pretty sure I could spin it and knit us matching scarves! Besides Hilda is probably the cousin of Minerva (my spinning wheel)

Bethany said...

Ooo, I think Hilda would love it here! She'd get along very well with Midge (my new iron). You should totally bribe your sister to pick me :)

Kris said...

Oh Holly....you crack me up. And I feel exactly the same way! You are my soul sister!
Don't put me in the giveaway since I have one, but I wanted comment anyways. I bet you can't wait to have some sissy time! And do you have any idea how much I would love to be able to dash off and meet you at a thrift shop, or for lunch, or a movie...or whatever?
The curtain I made was not from your shower curtain, although I did hem and haw before I began. I wound up using that dust ruffle I showed you, since it was basically already gathered and only needed a bit of sewing. I think I am going to use your shower curtain for something else. May even use it to back a quilt. Haven't decided yet.
I was surprised to find out you have been blogging for two years!!! Time flies!
Love ya,
Kris

Robyn said...

Put me in the hat Holly :)

Ashley said...

Hmmm, Hilda would definitely be bff's with Helga my Kitchen Aid mixer!

Debi said...

Two years. Do we ever run out of stuff to talk about? You're posts are to darn funny that I wouldn't want to miss checking in on you. I've never used a Hilda before, so you can drop me in the hat, then we can be twins if I win.

Lynn said...

If I win I promise to give Hilda a good home and take her for a spin every now and then!!! The Philly accent is easy, just gotta say "youse guys":@) Congrats on 2 years Holly and thanks for the fun give-away!

TARYTERRE said...

Blogging is the greatest thing ever. The buddies found on these pages enriches each of us. Congrats on two years. Quite an accomplishment. Hilda and I would become soulmates, I am sure. There is nothing like her in my neck of the woods. We'll have fun, for sure, doing those things girls like to do. We will really MIX things up around here. I promise you that. So throw my name in the hat. Take care.

just call me jo said...

Look at all your comments. People are such gadget whores...sheesh! (Put me in--I'm one of those too.)I saw a Hilda at Kohl's the other day and thought of you.

Enjoy the time with your seester! I'm sure you will have a laugh riot. (Love the lady that said she'd take your dryer lint. I will pass on that, by the way.)

Genn said...

Happy Two Year Blog-oversary!!!!
You are so sweet to giveaway such a fabulous gift!
You know I have one, so I do hope someone without gets to experience the joy of hand immersion blending!!! :)

Deborah in Atlanta said...

Congratulations on the two years, Holly! And please put my name in the hat. I'd love to have Hilda as a member of my family - she can be used for so many things in my new Weight Watchers lifestyle change.

Ann said...

So glad you're back blogging again. You and Jo make my day.

Val said...

Congrats Holly! I do love checking in to see what funny things you have to say!

Sign me up please. Do I get an extra entry since it would match my kitchen walls perfectly?

Betsy said...

Hi Holly!

Two years--what an accomplishment. I only hope I make it that long. I know I've said it before, but you make laugh every time--we must have the same sense of humor. I hope your sister pulls my name. I could use one of these, and like you said, then we could be Hoosier twins!

Betsy

Laura Woodward said...

I don't have a Hilda, but would love one! Another blogger sent me to your site just tonight or I would have been reading it all along! Hilarious. Need something to take my mind off chronic pain and to know there is still joy out there!

Melynda@Scratch Made Food! said...

I bet your Hilda, works better than my Bertha. But then with a name like Bertha, the desire to do a good job can never overthrow the shame of that name.....

nannykim said...

oh, you can add me to the drawing--I have sort of kind of (;0) wanted one of those for a while. I do believe my little masher thingy works fairly well, but this looks like it would work much better!

Amy said...

Hilda looks like she would belong here. But I'll still keep reading whether I win her on not. You have one of my favorite blogs.

Linda said...

Hilda would love to come to my house and play! Congrats on 2 years of blogging and have a great time with your sister!!

tainted with a positive view said...

Nothing like a good giveaway to bring them out! Whew! I would love to give Hilda a new home.

TWO YEARS.....wooohoooo! It's so nice to have friends all over the world :)
P.S. I love my emersion blender.

Sunny Simple Life said...

Oh sign me up. I would love one of these and I am so glad to know you through blogging. You are so funny and I just love reading your take on life. Have fun with your sis!!

Debbie Kay said...

I am one of your "readers who doesnt comment" but this giveaway is just toooooo sweet to pass up.

You are one of my favorite blogs, I guess I should take the time to tell you that a little more often.

Smiles,

Debbie

Beth said...

I hardly ever enter giveaways, because I always lose, but I really really want that Hilda. And if it will help,I'll add that you are looking really young, and I'm not just buttering you up (much), you are giving me great motivation to lose weight because I swear you look ten years younger in the photo with your sister. Now I'm hoping that the photo isn't 10 years old and I have just actually unintentionally dissed you.

Pat MacKenzie said...

If I'm not too late, you could add my name to the list. If I'm too late, well I'll just have to go out and find myself a Hilda to play with.
