I began Domestic Cents with my very first post on October 26, 2008. I wasn’t sure how it would develop or if anyone would be interested in what I had to say but I was SO excited to begin. I can’t believe a year has passed and I love it just as much, if not more.
I want to thank each of my readers from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for subscribing to this site and for being a faithful reader of Domestic Cents. Your support means so much to me.
To celebrate, I’m giving away this children’s paint set:
~Entries for this giveaway are now closed. Thanks for Entering!~
Whether you’d like to admit it or not, there’s a holiday season just around the corner. To celebrate my one-year anniversary and to kick off your holiday shopping, I have a wonderful giveaway. This one is in honor of my own little kiddo, who LOVES art.
CSN Stores is giving away the paint set you see pictured above. It’s a 27-Piece Paint Set that comes in the cute little crate in the background. It would make a great Christmas gift. Click on the link above for more info on the gift and to check out the site that’s going to send it to one lucky reader!
All you have to do to enter the giveaway is be sure you’re subscribed (either by RSS or Email) and then leave a comment letting me know that you are!
For a second entry, tweet the giveaway with the following narrative and then leave a second comment letting me know you did:
@DomesticCents is 1 year old! Check out her children’s paint set giveaway sponsored by AllChildrensFurniture.com:
For a third entry, use the following narrative to promote the giveaway on your blog:
“Domestic Cents is a year old! Check out her children’s paint set giveaway from All ChildrensFurniture.com, your one stop for brands like Little Tikes, KidKraft , and more! Giveaway ends 10/25!”
Up to 3 entries per person. Remember to leave a separate comment for each entry. I’ll close the giveaway at 10:00 p.m. EST (because that’s when I go to bed) on October 25. I’ll announce the winner on my anniversary, the 26th.
Why I do what I do ~ This morning I heard Chloe say, “Look mom it’s the opening credits” as her movie was beginning. I supposed she must have heard me say that before but that doesn’t make it sound any less peculiar coming from her mouth.
