. a gratitude filled giveaway .

August 23, 2011 by Amanda @ .running with spoons. 435 Comments

Today is a cause for celebration. Why? Because today’s post happens to be my 99th one πŸ˜€

Err. Okay?

I know that 99 isn’t all that common of a number to celebrate, but seeing as my 100th post will fall on WIAW, I figure why not celebrate a day early and spread all the excitement over a couple of days instead of squishing it all into one.Β So, in light of today’s monumental event, I did a little bit of shopping…

Something for me (as a reward for all my hard work):

[A handled bowl. A baggie of my favorite coffee beans. Gossip Girl season 4]

And something for you (as a reward for… well… just being you):

No, it’s not a reusable grocery bag from my favorite store. It’s a reusable grocery bag full of goodiesΒ from my favorite store.

In the three months that I’ve had Running with Spoons, I’ve completely fallen in love with blogging. Not only has it provided me with an opportunity to share my love of writing, photography, food, and fitness with others, but it’s introduced me to some of the kindest and most supportive people that I know. People that I’m so thankful to have in my life. People like you.

Each and every comment, e-mail, or Tweet that you send my way warms my heart like you wouldn’t believe, and I wanted to show you how grateful I am for your readership by giving you an opportunity to win a goodies package containing a few of my favorite things.

Okay, okay! Enough with the sappy talk, woman! Show us the lootΒ already!

One lucky winner will receive:

1 box of Cinnamon Puffins

2 baggies of Camino instant hot chocolate mix (dark & milk)
2 Dagoba dark chocolate bars (lemon ginger & new moon)

2 baggies of Vega Shake&Go smoothie mix (chocolate and vanilla almond)
1 Kashi bar (raspberry chocolate) – 1 Luna bar (s’mores) – 1 Clif bar (chocolate almond fudge)

Plus any other random tidbit(s) that I happen to come across in the next week.

. – . – . – .

There are 4 ways you can enter (leave a separate comment for each):

1.Β Tell me something that you’re grateful for (mandatory)

2.Β Subscribe to Running with Spoons via e-mail or Google Reader and let me know.

3.Β Follow me on Twitter (@RunWithSpoons) and leave a comment with your Twitter ID.

4.Β Tweet the following: @RunWithSpoons is giving away some of her favorite things! Check it out atΒ http://wp.me/p1x2yj-1gr

You have until August 31st to enter, and I’ll be announcing the winner on September 1st.

Good luck, and thank you again for being you πŸ˜€

    I think it is so generous when bloggers do giveaways! So that is one thing I am grateful for – generous and kind people! πŸ™‚ But besides that, I am so very grateful for my amazing boyfriend who reminds me each and every day how important I am to him. He really knows how to make me feel good πŸ™‚

    I’m grateful for books. Whether they teach me something new, help reinforce something I already knew, provide entertainment, recipes, pictures, or let my imagination run wild, they are one of my favorite things ever!

    I’m grateful for the fact I can afford to eat healthy- seriously. I don’t know what I would do if we couldn’t aford my epensive peach/chobani/ice cream love affairs. I may not be rolling in it, but I’m so blessed to be able to go to the store and buy food

    I AM GRATEFUL for the chance to get a lovely education and have resources, such as the internet, that allow me to explore my interests and learn things I wouldn’t have the opportunity to learn otherwise. Good enough? πŸ™‚

    I am grateful for my strong thighs as weird as that may sound. They may be bigger than the average girl’s, but they carry me far and let me run.
