Congratulations to #6, Jan! I will send this card out with delivery confirmation! Thanks so much to all who entered. More great giveaways to come!
I've got one more Target Gift Card out of the 3 that I purchased this last summer with you in mind! You have been so wonderful and I appreciate all the visits and support with the giveaways that I do. I've started working full-time at a remedial high school with at-risk boys. I'm the support teacher and I work with a really great man who has been doing this for a long time! It has been a treat to see him at work and see the progress these boys make. Some of them come from very trying circumstances. My blogging time has been cut a bit, but I still absolutely love it! I would love to get this card out to one of you for Christmas shopping! So here is what you can do to get it! Just give me some comment love!
Read one or all of the four blog posts below and make a comment there. Or enter this giveaway! Come back and let me know which one(s) you did! You can do as many as you'd like. Two of the posts are regular entries about my life and two are reviews that I have done recently. There is a possibility of 5 entries. That's it! I will choose a winner on Dec 1, 2010 with a random number generator! I'll e-mail the winner and mail the card out with delivery confirmation to make sure you got it! Thanks again!

I subscribed some time ago to GOOP, the e-letter that is put out by Gwyneth Paltrow. She is really quite the savvy gal and I just wonder how many subscribers she has to her newsletter! I really liked her ideas for personalized gifts. If you don't get her letters, they are great. She has a taste for the fine and expensive, but she also comes up with some great ideas for everyday people too!
Cocodot is an online invitation and greeting card service that is getting rave reviews. Gwyneth has used this for her cards this holiday! There are several collections from different artists and one of them is Kristi Hume from Scotland. She has greeting cards with a Scottish Flavor. I like that since I am a little bit Scottish! For instance, one section has a ton of old Scottish Sayings such as "May yer lum reek!" Check it out and save paper this year!
I've always appreciated great products and great furniture. To fully appreciate something, you need to know a little bit about it. Maybe I haven't appreciated some things as much as I should have because my education has been a bit lacking.
I now am finally educated in the finer points of butcher block! Whew, I can check that one off! A butcher block is a thick, unvarnished, unpolished and untreated surface that gives more useful area to kitchen counter tops, islands, or tables. You can basically use the whole surface as a cutting board! Yet the surface is beautiful because it is natural. Butcher block can also be used for other types of tables and decorative furniture. Ideal materials for a kitchen butcher block surface would be oak, cherry, bamboo and maple because they won't harm knife blades. I can definitely see the advantages for having a butcher block counter top~you don't have to worry as much about accidentally nicking and damaging the surface with your knives, or for that matter, nicking or dulling your knives. Of course a butcher block doesn't necessarily have to be made of wood. They can be blocks of marble, stone, glass or ceramic. But wood would definitely be my choice! Most fine homes with gourmet kitchens have at least 1 butcher block table, counter top, or island to make cooking more convenient!
