~~~~ Congrats to Monica the Garden Faerie! She is this month's winner! Thanks to all of you that took the time to participate.~~~~
Hello everyone! It’s time for the September Giveaway sponsored by CSN Stores! This month’s reward is a $65.00 gift certificate that comes in the form of a promotional code. You can use the code to completely purchase an item or you can use the $65.00 to apply to a more expensive item, it’s your choice. You do not have to be a United States resident to participate in this giveaway, but should you win you will have to pay the cost of international shipping charges on whatever you purchase from CSN.
To be eligible for this month’s giveaway, Jamie thought it would be interesting for everyone to share how they developed an interest in Gardening. What it is the driving force within you that makes you get out and toil in the soil? What do you so find so rewarding about gardening? Since Jamie posed this question I think it’s only fair he share his story with us. Don’t you think? So I’ll have him add to this post. Most of you already know my story of the elderly neighbor and my little red wagon.
You can contribute your answer two ways. You can either do it as a blog entry linking back to this post. Be sure to tell us when your post is up and provide a link. Or, if you absolutely do not have the time you may simply reply in the comments. The first is preferred because more people will be aware of the giveaway, but it is not necessary to be eligible. The deadline for participating in the fun is midnight September 17, 2010. Have joined us in the past and not won? Here is another chance for you to receive the gift. The winner’s name will be drawn at random out of the giveaway flower pot by Jamie. Have fun! I look forward to reading your personal stories.

I would have to say that my interest in gardening started with my grandfather. He was always pruning this or that shrub in his yard and his favorite flowers were petunias (hence why I love petunias so much). He kept an immaculately maintained flower garden always. My love for gardening waned a little over the years, but when I started gardening with Randy, my passion to create something beautiful was back in full force. I haven't looked back since! --Jamie
September is just a page turn away and with that comes another occasion for the readers of Creating Our Eden to win a thank you gift. These chances are made possible by the generosity of CSN stores. If you aren’t familiar with this company you should check them out. They offer a plethora of items in their online stores. You can find anything from dining chairs to bird feeders. In the past, I’ve spent hours pouring over the websites to find the perfect item to offer our readers for prizes.
Previously I’ve chosen an item myself, but now you have the opportunity to pick your own gift. The Promo Team now provides me with a code you can use to purchase the article of your liking. This month’s gift is even more generous than the last so pour through the websites and start making a wish list!
I’ll be posting the specifics of the giveaway in a few days! Once again, thank you all for being such loyal readers of my ramblings. A warm thank you also goes out to CSN for sponsoring these opportunities. See you soon!
Congratulations to Jan Goldfield from The Pond Lady’s Pad! She is the winner of the giveaway for this month. Jan I’m sure your friend Bethie will enjoy her gift! For the rest of you thanks for entering and keep checking back. There will be another giveaway coming soon!
As promised in the previous post here’s the giveaway for the month of August. This is what I want you to do. Pretend that I have just given you a $60.00 gift certificate (wink wink*) to use at CSN Stores. Pick out any item you would like to have in that price range and post the link to that item in your comment telling me why you would like to have it.
You have two choices; either pick an item that is $60.00 or less including shipping or you can pick a more expensive item and apply the gift certificate towards that purchase. You will be responsible for the remaining balance if you win.
The rules are very simple, so if you don’t follow them you will not be eligible for the giveaway. The deadline for entries is Midnight on August 13th. The winner’s name will be drawn out of the giveaway flower pot by Jamie and will be announced on next blog entry after that date. You have 72 hours to contact me via the email provided in my blogger profile after you name is drawn or you forfeit your prize and another winner will be randomly selected.
This is my little way of saying thank you to all of you for reading our blog, even when I am unable to visit and read your blogs as often as I would like to do. Good luck to all of you! Oh! In case I wasn’t clear enough, the prize this time is $60.00 in the form of a promotion code. When making your choice of prizes get as close to that amount as you can because there will be no remaining balance on the code once it is used.
It’s that’s time again folks. The good people and CSN Stores are offering us another opportunity for one Our Eden’s readers to be rewarded with a gift. I love these little promotional giveaways! For those of you that aren’t familiar with their line of stores they offer a wide variety of items available for purchase through the online websites. I usually pick a garden related item to giveaway on the blog but they also carry a full line of other products as well. Dinnerware sets, furniture and even bath accessories are just a few of the items available from the stores.
I’ll be posting the requirements to qualify for the giveaway soon! Be sure to keep you eyes open for the post to see how you can win a very nice gift I’m sure you will enjoy. How am I so certain about that? Because this time you will get to pick it! I’m looking forward to the fun, I hope you are too. Be sure and tell you friends to watch for the upcoming opportunity.
I want to thank all of you that participated in the little giveaway. I know a lot of bloggers consider it to be in poor taste to play a part in these little posts. I personally enjoy doing them and I’m sure the winner enjoys the fact that they entered as well! That being said I’ve been offered the occasion to do this on a relatively frequent basis and I believe I will continue to do it as long as the opportunities present themselves. Please take part as often as you like and feel free to tell your blogging friends. Everyone enjoys the chance to win a drawing or competition and I won’t hold it against them if they aren’t regular readers of this blog. *wink*
Another thing I wanted to mention very quickly is that the companies I host for do not request that I refer my blog readers to their sites. They simply ask that I very naturally find a way to put a link in my blog post. It is my decision to ask you to visit their site. It is my opinion, if they are willing to provide us with such very nice gifts the least we can do is show our gratitude by taking a peek at other objects they have to offer.
That being said, Jamie closed his sexy brown eyes and stuck his nimble little fingers down into the bottom of the pot and pulled out a name. And the winner is….
Dee from Red Dirt Ramblings! Congratulations Dee! This is a very nice looking watering can; I know you are going to enjoy it. It’s so pretty I don’t know if I would use it to water my flowers or put flowers in it like a vase! Whatever your choice I hope you enjoy it for years to come. Dee, please contact me thru the email provided on my blog profile with your mailing address and we’ll sort out all the details. To the rest you that entered thank you very much for participating, I do so enjoy the opportunity to give away a little gift and hope you enjoy the chance to enter. Hugs to you all and happy gardening!
The generous people at CSN Stores have provided me with another wonderful opportunity to give you guys a gift. They have over a million products in their online store to include landscape lights, patio furniture, gardening tools and a lot more. Now, I’ve never been one to beat around the bush about my reasons for doing this. I think it’s only fair if you get something you need to give something in return. We all know this is promotional. *smiles*
Here is what I would like you to do in order to qualify for the giveaway. Don’t panic I’m not asking a lot and since CSN is being so generous I think it’s only fair. I would like you to go to CSN through the link provided above and tell me if you saw anything there that struck your fancy. It has a dual purpose; it will generate traffic to their site and will give me an idea of what items you might like in future giveaways. Don’t limit yourself just to the lights; they have a fantastic selection of garden related items.
This giveaway is for a beautiful, classically designed water can done in copper. Below is a stock picture borrowed from their site with permission.
Can you picture yourself in a big floppy garden hat walking around watering your flowers? I can! The deadline to enter this giveaway is 11:30 PM Friday, June 25, 2010. The names of the qualified entries will be placed in a flower pot and one will be randomly drawn by Jamie. Good luck! And thanks again to CSN for providing us with this fun giveaway!
Hello everyone! The good folks at CSN Stores contacted me about a little promotional giveaway from their company and you fortunate guys get to reap the benefits! One lucky winner will get the bird feeder shown in the above picture. It comes in your choice of three colors: French Bronze, Moss Green and Virdigris.
Okay, so here’s how this is going to work. To enter into the competition I would like for you to do two things for me. First, send a short note to crazyboutflowers@gmail.com and tell me something about Jamie or me that you would only know if you read our blog. After you’ve sent the email place a comment on this blog post to tell me your message is in my inbox. Pretty simple so far, right? Second I would like you to click the link below to show your appreciation to the people at CSN Stores for the generous donation to the giveaway. It only takes a second and it’s the right thing to do. Here’s the link to their sister site and the available house numbers they have in stock. Explore the site you might find just what you are looking for, they have lots of great items.
I’ll be accepting entries to the competition until January 31, 2010. The eligible entries name will be drawn from an empty clay pot on February 1, 2010 and I’ll announce the winner. Then I’ll contact you via the email you sent me to get your shipping information. The feeder will be mailed to the winner directly from the company. Good luck!
