I am thankful for everyone who takes the time to read my blog, follow me on Facebook, follow my Tweets, and visit my business web page.

I am thankful for my friends.  I am thankful for my clients.  I am especially thankful for my family.

I AM SO THANKFUL, that I’ve been banging my head on the wall trying to come up with a special Giveaway.  Okay, I really didn’t bang my head on the wall, but I’m pretty sure my palm hit my forehead a couple of times!

Today, my little cartoon light bulb flashed over my head with a new idea.

This year, to show my thanks, I’m not just going to give you a “gift.”  I’m going to give you a gift that gives.  Do you like to shop?  Do you like bags and accessories?  If your answer is “NO” to both of those questions, I invite you to share this post with someone who would scream, “YES!”

HERE’S WHAT I HAVE FOR THREE LUCKY WINNERS…

GIVEAWAY ENTRIES ACCEPTED:  
11/14/2012-11/19/2012

WINNERS WILL BE PICKED RANDOMLY.

WINNER #1 will receive a $100.00 Gift Certificate to spend at “Thirty-One Gifts” – (A place for bags and accessories)

RANDOM WINNERS #2 AND #3 will receive a $50.00 Gift Certificate  (each) to spend at “Thirty-One Gifts!”

[$100 for 1st randomly picked winner is sponsored by Val J Aranda, REALTOR®, Metro Realty.  Two $50.00 Gift Certificates for 2nd and 3rd random winners sponsored by Daylon Brady, Castle & Cooke Mortgage.  My “Thirty-One Gifts” consultant is Laura Ramon Meza]

What’s “Thirty-One Gifts?”  The best way for me to describe their products is to simply give you access to their catalog.  The winner of this Giveaway can start buying Christmas gifts or add to his/her own bag and accessory collection.  YES… they have stuff for “HIM,” too!
