5th Annual Cottage Charm Giveaway Event - May 1st thru May 29th!


The 5th Annual Cottage Charm Giveaway officially begins May 1st at 8 am Central! This special, annual May event will last until May 29th, 2011. Will you be joining us? Just scroll to the bottom to see the list of giveaways added so far or keep reading for more information on how to join in on the fun!

What is the Cottage Charm Giveaway?: This is a multi-blog, month long event beginning Saturday, May 1st where bloggers give away on their blogs items they feel exhibit "Cottage Charm". Anyone can join at any point in May before the 29th. On May 29th, all participating bloggers will announce their winners and post it to their blogs. An ongoing list of ALL the giveaways and participating bloggers is maintained here at Twice Remembered {down below} during the entire month of May. The list grows and grows the whole month of May as bloggers add their Cottage Charm Giveaway to their blogs.

How do I give away an official "Cottage Charm Giveaway"?: To join, you simply follow four easy steps:



1) at any point in May post on your blog what you are giving away - your "Cottage Charm Giveaway", and also post your own rules for winning the giveaway {for example, the number of entries allowed, how you want your readers to enter your drawing, where you are willing to ship, etc.}. It would be helpful and advantageous to include photos and to mention "Cottage Charm Giveaway" in your post title. You can offer as many Cottage Charm giveaways as you like.

2) include *within your giveaway post* a link back to this post. The more people who know about this event, the better! Here is the link you will need to use:

http://twiceremembered.blogspot.com/2011/04/annual-cottage-charm-giveaway-event-may.html

3) come back here and add your giveaway post link to the list of giveaways below. Giveaways added below without having the proper "link back" to this post will be deleted, but you can try again after the link has been added.

4) announce the winner of your giveaway on your blog on May 29th. It is helpful to post the winners at the top of your giveaway post. {**If you want to end a giveaway earlier than the 29th, please do not participate in this event.}


Is there a Cottage Charm banner that I can use for my blog and/or giveaway post?
Yes, feel free to copy and paste the code below anywhere on your blog. You don't have to use the banner, but some kind of link {text or banner} needs to be included *within your giveaway post*.





What should I give away? Feel free to use your own definition of "Cottage Charm" for this giveaway- the possibilities are endless! You can give away books, your own crafts, custom goods and clothing, thrift store finds, new items, yummy treats, gift certificates to your shop, vintage goodies...whatever to you represents cottage charm. Don't worry - you don't have to live in a cottage or personally decorate in cottage style. However, if you would like to give away something to those that do, please join in!

Where are all of the giveaways and how do I enter to win them? Down below is the master list of all Cottage Charm giveaways. This list will grow and grow throughout the month of May, so come back daily to check for newly added giveaways. Just click on the links to go to the blog hosting the giveaway and follow their rules for entering.

When I enter to win any {or all} of the giveaways below, how will I know if I won anything? More than likely, the giveaway host will contact you if you won. But during the day or evening on May 29th, just visit the blogs whose giveaway you entered and look for their "winner" announcement. I won't be posting the names of all the winners here at Twice Remembered with the exception of the winner of my own Cottage Charm Giveaway. {I will be posting my giveaway later this week - don't miss it!}

Do I need to have a giveaway to enter to win the other giveaways? No, not at all.

I'm still confused a little bit. Now what? If you have any questions about the 5th Annual Cottage Charm Giveaway, please feel free to email me. I'll look forward to hearing from you!

I hope everyone has a blast this month discovering new blogs and entering to win some really special gifts! Now...let the giveaway begin!

5th Annual Cottage Charm Giveaway Begins May 1st!



Where thou art, that is home. ~Emily Dickinson


Hello dear ones. How are you? It is finally spring and though we are having our fair share of storms and rain, I am so glad to finally see the season changing in earnest. The grass is so green, it is almost fluorescent!

We've been busy here at our little cottage in the making and boy, do we have a lot of painting ahead of us! I know I've been remiss in making frequent updates, but it seems that for the time being, my time just keeps getting 'smaller and smaller'. {Don't worry - some have asked out of concern if I might be thinking about closing my blog - that will *never* happen!} But I've committed myself to an even fuller month of volunteer community ministry work on top of what I regularly participate in, plus the children are now in art and piano lessons... it seems like I'm zipping back and forth from home frequently throughout the day and my computer time has been minimal! Like I've said before, though... I hope that you'll always view my updates as a letter from an old friend and to expect to hear from me sooner or later! {sometimes sooner - sometimes later!}

I have some exciting news to announce in the next couple of weeks concerning some of what I've been working on lately. But for now, I wanted to let everyone know that the 5th Annual Cottage Charm Giveaway is coming up! As you may know, this takes place during the entire month of May ... May 1st - May 29th to be exact. This is a very exciting time both for bloggers who offer Cottage Charm giveaways on their blogs and for those that sign up to win those fabulous giveaways. Tomorrow {Saturday} I will be posting detailed information regarding this annual event, but if you are new to my blog and are curious now, feel free to read about last year's Cottage Charm Giveaway and see all the items that were given away by generous bloggers. We had such a great time and each year just gets better and better! If you are planning on participating by offering a giveaway during this event, you have two weeks to get your giveaway together if you'd like to add your giveaway on May 1st but remember, you can enter a giveaway during any time in May. So I just wanted to give everyone a heads up... and again, I will be posting the details tomorrow. :)

Until then, have a great evening and we'll talk soon!
