"My Favorite Things" Giveaway

It's hard to believe the release date of my book, I'll Know You by Heart, is only eight days away.  I'm celebrating with all of my faithful blog followers by holding a "My Favorite Things" giveaway.  I wish I could afford to give prizes to all of you.  Your love and support mean so much to me, and your comments always brighten my day.  I've made some amazing friends, and I hope to meet all of you in person some day.

Here's how the contest will work.  I'm going to list some of my favorite things which I'm giving away as prizes, as well as how to enter below, so keep reading.  I'll take entries through Monday night, March 15th, then I'll announce the winner(s) on my release date, Tuesday, March 16th.

Favorite Item #1
Cute Socks


For as long as I can remember, I've loved cute socks.  My husband teases me about my crazy socks not matching my clothes, but I don't care.  They make me feel amazing.  The picture above is not the exact socks--I haven't bought them yet.  But, I promise, they will be just as cute.

Favorite Item #2
Mary Kay Moisturizer
Mary Kay's Oil-free Hydrating Gel is my all-time favorite moisturizer.  It is cool and refreshing--it feels like a drink of water when you're thirsty.  I love it because it doesn't leave my face feeling oily or sticky.  [$30.00 retail value.]

Favorite Item #3
Pajamas

I LOVE pajamas!  More often than not, if I'm home and don't intend to go out, I'm wearing pajamas.  I admit, I even occasionally wear them to Walmart, late at night when I hope nobody will see me.  :)  I bought this cute pair to give away since they go along with the Heart theme of my book.

Favorite Item #4
Silver Jewelry


Going along with the heart theme, I'm giving away this silver charm bracelet.  The heart charm is actually a watch.  Cute!  I love all jewelry, but silver is my favorite.

Favorite Item #5
Chocolate
Normally, white chocolate is not my favorite, but I love the white chocolate Lindor Truffles.  Other than these, I prefer dark chocolate--the darker, the better.

Favorite Item #6
Stickers


I've always loved stickers.  I remember trading them at recess in elementary school.  Back then, I was so desperate for new ones, I even took the sticker off the Chiquita bananas to put in my sticker book.  I'm giving away all the Pebbles, Inc. stickers pictured above.  [$30 value]

Favorite Item #7
My Critique Group


I have the most amazing critique group ever!  Tristi, Keith, Heather, Nichole, and Danyelle have helped me improve my writing more than any other thing.  I'd be lost without their suggstions.  We've been meeting for two years, and between all of us, we've critiqued 14 full manuscripts and are currently working on five more. 

I love these guys, but no, I can't give them to you.  But, we thought it would be fun to invite one lucky winner to join one of our critique sessions.  So, if you are local, I'll let you know when and where we are meeting, and you'll be invited to come and bring a chapter to be critiqued.  Just be warned, sometimes things get a little silly.   If the winner is not local, all these amazing writers have agreed to critique one chapter for you.  I promise you won't be disappointed!

Favorite Item #8
My Book!!


I love my book, and I hope that you will too.  I'm giving away an autographed copy.  So, what's it about?  Read on--

What happens when the love you thought you found is the one that puts you in mortal danger? A story of pain, survival, and love, I’ll Know You by Heart is a deeply emotional journey of one woman’s determination to save herself and her family from a life of abuse and fear, and culminates with her finding love again. 

Now, onto the details.

I haven't decided yet how I'm going to divide the prizes.  I could give each item away individually, or put them all together for one lucky winner.  It depends on how many entries I get.  Every time I do a contest, my biggest fear is that nobody will enter--so if you are reading this, PLEASE enter.

You get one entry for each of the following:

*Leave a comment telling me which item you'd most like to win.
*Follow this blog.  (Click on the follow link on the right sidebar.)
*Become a fan of Kimberly Job, Author on Facebook.
*Follow me on Twitter.

It's a toss up between the stickers (because I am addicted to scrapbooking!!) or the pj's.

Oh, it is so hard to decide, but I think I'd like the mary kay moisturizer if I won... this winter did a number on my skin, I'm afraid.

Could I interview you for my blog and blog about your contest that way? I'm not in the habit of just blogging contests for contests' sakes. Anyway I really really really want the critique group prize. Really. Desperately. (Wish my comma button worked. Alas.)

Email me if you're interested: Kate (at) KatrinaPalmer (dot) com

Rachelle Christensen said...

How fun! Way too hard to decide. I like your book, your critique group, and the MK moisturizer. I follow your blog, Twitter, and I'll see what else I can do. :)

sb said...

Well, if I can't win your friends, I'd like the pajamas, socks, or chocolate!

Cathy said...

Wow, you have great taste! Those are all great things and many would be on my list of favorites, too. Hmmm, I think silver jewelry would have to top my list, but I don't know, pj's, and chocolate, and a good new book, would all be a very close second.

I'm already a follower of your blog, I'm now your facebook fan, and now I'm excited to sign up for your newsletter.

The PJ's would be awesome! The socks would be fun. I never turn down chocolate. The critique group review would be wonderful. And of course, your book would be great too. (I'm already getting a copy of your book, but if I won another one, I'd do a giveaway on my blog.)

I hope to see you at the launch tomorrow.

Josie said...

I'm a chocolate kind of girl!!!

Tristi Pinkston said...

Whaddya mean, things get silly at critique group? I have absolutely no idea in the whole entire world what you mean ... :)

Awesome contest idea, Kim!
