Follower Celebration: An Easter Giveaway

At long last, procrastination on a giveaway has ended.

Writing Straight from the Heart is now having a  giveaway for a double celebration:

1) More than 500 posts written on this blog since its humble beginning in October of 2009. 

2) Having more than 200  Followers!

It is open to Followers, only, because you are each so very special to me.

Anyone curious about how this blog began can read about it here:  Writing Straight from the Heart.

As bloggers everywhere can testify, having a blog on the Internet plunges one into a fascinating and satisfying world. Life as a blogger takes on an entirely new perspective where boredom  or status quo are unheard of.

Each new Follower (a person who likes the blog and wants to stop in frequently), elicited a cheerful yell from me. This was as true for the first two Followers (one of my sisters and my daughter) as for the 202nd!

Among this blog's 202 Followers, numerous states and several different countries are represented.  On any given day I may have a comment from someone in South Carolina to Washington or Kuwait to South Africa!


























Looking over statistics while preparing to write today's post, it's noted that this blog's had visits and/or Followers  from  Australia, Brazil, Canada, Egypt, Greece, Guatemala, India, Italy, Japan Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Murmansk (Russian Federation), the Netherlands, the Philippines, Poland, South Africa, and the United Kingdom, just to name some!



























Stateside, visitors and/or Followers have come from Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Idaho, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,  New Jersey, New York,  North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington, among others! 

Okay.  The giveaway is humble but heartfelt. It includes two new Easter towels, six Easter bunnies, and a few small surprises NOT PICTURED,  thrown in for good measure.

























All you have to do is  BE A FOLLOWER and write a comment on today's post, saying you want to participate.

That's all there is to it! So, Followers who want to participate, leave a comment indicating you are in!

Names of all participants will be put into a hat and pulled out on Friday, April 1st.  No fool!


Just for the record, I want to say, THANK YOU, dear Followers. You have enriched my life, validated my many posts with your comments, and have made me very, very happy. You are appreciated more than you will ever know!    Love to all,   Susan

    Susan no it is I that want to "thank you" Even though you do not know it some of your words of wisdom have pulled me through a tough patch recently. But things are better now with the help of a lot of blogging friends and family plus my own family so I say "thank you". Yes I am a follower and yes please include me. I actually thought I already posted here but I guess I did not cause I do not see it but it doesn't matter when as long as you get the note of thanks...... take care.
