She Shops! She Scores!

I ran out to the mall on a whim tonight. For those of you who live in or near civilization this is not noteworthy. Our nearest mall is an hour's drive. I used to be there twice a month on average, but somehow it's narrowed itself down to once every month or two.

I had this coupon for Old Navy to save $10 and figured it would save itself in gas plus actually save on the clothing. And I needed some mall therapy. Oh, the bargains to be had! We scored huge in the boys department, getting cargo pants, denim shorts and the like for $1.97. Is that huge or what?! Ah, the thrill of the hunt; the satisfaction of a bagged sale. Women are all hunters at heart.

And because I feel generous enough to share in my good fortune, now is a great time for my loyal bloggy readers to score big, too. I haven't done a giveaway in ever and ever so long and my friends, it's time!

Here's what you need to do.

1. First of all, alert the troops. Send out the call to everyone you know, and a few strangers on the street, that something is to be had for FREE. You heard that right. No tax, no shipping, nada. Free! I love that word.

2. Go check out my store. See that little rocking pony image to the right of your screen? And that little place underneath it that talks about my shop? Click on the clicky link and go browse around. No shopping required. No purchase necessary. I promise.

3. Come back to my blog and leave me a comment on what you liked best in the shop. Or what you'd like for me to custom make if you would be purchasing something. *Again, I reiterate, no purchase necessary.* If you are overcome with the overwhelming urge to buy I would be thrilled, but this will not increase your chances of winning the freebie. Just let me know what you love in a comment.

4. I will be going through the comments and randomly choosing a winner. When I say random I mean just that. Perhaps I'll close my eyes and roll the mouse around. Round and round she goes, where she lands nobody knows! Or maybe I'll let The Baby point out someone because that would truly be random. Maybe I'll count up the number of comments, put the numbers in a hat, throw them up in the air and watch them all fall down around me like snowflakes in October, then retrieve the one that escaped under the couch. However it happens, a random winner will be chosen and a gift will be given. For free.

The gift? Oh, what will that be? Well that depends on who the winner would be. I would not give a bib to someone who does not have children, or whose children stopped wearing bibs 13 years ago. I probably would not give a headband to a man. Unless of course he wanted one. I'll definitely try to make it appropriate to the situation, and may even let them choose.

So go shop, and may you score as big as I did.

**The completely random drawing will be on Monday, October 15.**
