Christmas in July!

Bloggy giveaways are so fun to organize as well as receive! My first was the Cottage Charm Giveaway, and I enjoyed it so much, I am joining Inis at A Lovely Thing for her Christmas in July Giveaway. If you want to join in, and make this as great as the Cottage Charm Giveaway was, just put together your own Christmas package and visit A Lovely Thing to sign up. Post about it on your blog and link back to Inis. I hope we get lots of people to join us! Be sure to stop by A Lovely Thing to see everyone who has joined in, and sign up for their giveaways, also.
To enter my giveaway just leave a comment on THIS POST by July 31st to be entered. I will draw the winning name on Aug 1st. I also need a way to contact you if you win, so please leave an email if you do not have a blog. [This giveaway is now closed.]
Finally....Here is my giveaway prize!
Who is one of America's most well-known non-religious Christmas icons? Charlie Brown, of course! This is a set of 4 ornaments with a display stand. Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, & Snoopy all surround the doghouse with Woodstock on the roof. Lucy is supervising the decorating with her megaphone, and Linus has brought a tree. The ornaments have hangers for a tree if you like, or can be displayed on a tabletop. The display measures about 7" long by 3" wide, and the ornaments/figurines are about 4" tall. Along with the display I am including this miniature Charlie Brown Christmas lunchbox, still in it's shrink-wrap.
This set is made by Hallmark and is dated 2000. Everything comes with the original boxes, so if someone is a Hallmark or Charlie Brown collector you will have everything you need.
Thinking about what to get for Christmas? How about the gift of good health and peace of mind? From my own experience with chronic health issues, I can tell you that good health insurance is the best cure, knowing your care is covered. Look into Affordable Health Insurance, something everyone should have.

Thanks for stopping by. I just noticed on your profile that you love historical movies....boy could we be movie buddies! In fact on my fourth of July movie post most of them are historical movies, Gettysburg, Glory, The Battle of the Bulge, The Longest Day, The Great Escape, etc.! I'm thinking about doing this Christmas give-away. I've never done one before. Do I need to have a package put together now and post a picture of what the package is or is it a surprise later? Just curious. Cindy
