(Click here or scroll down to view the "Cottage Charm Give Away" Participant List - Updated Daily Until May 25th)

Wouldn't it be be delightful to have a 'blogwide' cottage themed giveaway?! I've been wanting to do my own little blog giveaway for quite a while now, but I thought others might enjoy doing the same...so let's do it! How about a "Cottage Charm Give Away Day" on May 26, 2007?!!!

It's simple. You have until Friday, May 25th, 2007 to post your "Cottage Charm" giveaway offering on your site. Then let me know so that I can link to your giveaway right here in this entry. Remember, people respond well to photos and good item descriptions. Others are encouraged to enter their names (on your site) for a drawing (by you) to win your charming cottage themed giveaway. To keep things simple, you choose your own sign up and drawing methods, how many cottage charm giveaways to offer, shipping details, etc., ...I'm just getting the ball rolling here:)

Use your own definition of "Cottage Charm" for this giveaway- the possibilities are endless! You can give away books, your own crafts, thrift store finds, new items, yummy treats, recipes, vintage goodies...goodness, I could go on forever! Just have fun with it!

At some point on Saturday, May 26, everyone participating will hopefully be able to post the winners of their giveaways. So the more participants (givers and receivers!), the better! I know May 26th seems forever away, but I wanted to give plenty of time for everyone to hear about this special "Cottage Charm Give Away Day" and to come up with something special to give to their readers. Also, this allows plenty of time for everyone to enter their names in the giveaways of their choosing.

How to Participate:
All that I ask is that you:
(1)let me know when your giveaway item is listed on your site by posting a comment with your giveaway link right under this post. You are encouraged to describe your giveaway and post photos if at all possible (more folks tend to sign up when they can see what they may be winning).

and

(2)link back to this post so that others may have an opportunity to learn about and participate in this giveaway. You can just copy and paste the coding (below) to your giveaway post or preferably somewhere on the side of your blog. If you prefer a text link, that's ok, too:)

After you've created your giveaway offering post and have added a link back to this page, I'll add your giveaway link right here in this entry so that more folks will find you and your fabulous giveaway. If you know you're going to participate but aren't yet ready to write about or post photos of your giveaway, please feel free to first go ahead and add the Cottage Charm banner code or link to your blog so that we can quickly get the word out. Thanks so much!

By the way, I will add links to this page right up until noon, Central time on May 25th. But hopefully you'll have your item(s) listed well before then.

I would like to only add the link to your actual giveaway post containing instructions, descriptions and/or photos of what you are giving away. This will cut down on confusion when readers are looking for what you are offering.
