. 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˜€

    Eeee..such an awesome giveaway; thank you so much for holding it & congrats on your 99th post! πŸ˜€

    Hmm..I’m grateful for so many things that it’s hard to say just one, but one thing which comes to mind? I’m grateful for discovering the words of healthy living blogs, which have helped me to move forward a step in my recovery from years of living with an eating disorder <3 I may have a fair way to go yet, but the amazing support & encouragement from this 'community' and the inspiration provided mean the world to me πŸ™‚

    YUM!!

    I’m grateful for SO many things. Bottom line, I’m grateful for my life circumstances – the country I live in, the family I come from, the support my parents have given me. I’ve had, and will continue to have, SO many opportunities that are unavailable to many people and parts of the world. That’s something no one can control, and I’m so grateful it worked in my favor!

    Wow, what an amazing giveaway! And due cause for celebration, too – mega congratulations on your 100th (or 99th, at the moment) post :). You totally deserve to feel proud of your achievement.

    It’s so difficult to pinpoint one particular thing that I’m grateful for, because there’s so many – anything from my friends, to my physical health, to a really great pudding (nut butter, fruit, yoghurt and melted chocolate. Nom.). But I guess I’m most grateful for my parents – I’m just about to move out for university, and it’s only really once I’ve thought about living without them that I realise how important they have been in my life (duh!).
