Hello my lovelies! It’s time once again for Blog Reader Appreciation Week here at Snackie’s World! I have no idea where the time has gone (because really, it’s been a year?) but once again it is time to show all of you how much I love you. In fact, I’ve made a video to get things started…
In case you can’t watch the video for some odd, sppoky, ooky and kooky reason, here is the basic gist: It’s Blog Reader Appreciation Week and the next three days are SO all about you! We’re having three days worth of giveaways and contests then I will announce all winners on Friday evening! Even if you don’t need the prize being given away today or any other day, you definitely still want to enter for two reasons.
1.) You can always re-gift your winnings (oh please, like we don’t all do it) and/or have a giveaway yourself!
2.) There are secret little consolation prizes being carefully chosen right now and you never know, you may win one of those as well!
No matter what, this is meant to be fun! So yay, let’s get on with it, shall we?
Today’s giveaway prize is a Logitech Quick Cam pro for Notebooks. You can read all about it on Amazon or wherever you choose but whatever, it’s a neat little webcam that is geared for notebooks. Here’s the cool thing…you can also use it with a desktop computer! I have a flat screen monitor and either clip my webcam or use the stand that comes with it for the hot video action. Okay, I kid…most of my video action is used to make video messages to send to people and/or to chat. Oh yes, did I mention that now you can video chat if you win this? Score!
Okay, so what do YOU have to do in order to be entered to win this very first prize in the Snackie’s World Blog Reader Appreciation Week Bonanza? It’s simple, really. There are three ways in which you can enter!
1.) Leave a comment here. You don’t even have to do much work. Just say hi, tell me what your favorite flower is, tell me your favorite color, tell me something random…whatever, I don’t care as long as you let me know that you were here and tell me something random about yourself.
2.) Share this post on Twitter or Facebook to let others know that the Giveaway exists! If you do that, please leave a second comment here letting me know that you did.
3.) Link back to this contest in one of your blog posts. Hopefully the trackback system will let me know that you did so but if not, please come back and leave yet another comment here letting me know what you’ve been up to.
If you want to do one, two or all of these things at once and you only want to leave one comment? Well that’s all good too, my dears. I’m easy like a Sunday morning but NOT like a hooker on Friday evening. Word.
As I said, the winner will be revealed Friday evening here on my blog so have fun and may the best commenter who gets picked by randomizer after I blindly enter names and have someone else pick them out of a hat…win!
Appreciative Kisses,
Me

Motley and I just watched the video and she said you look younger! You do look spectacular, dahling! Something random about me? I have a Patrick Nagel signature in screen litho called Texas which is the picture Duran Duran had on their Rio album. Maybe I’ll put a photo of it in Sunlight now… *runs off to see what I did last year for blog reader appreciation week*

I love how the background color changes throughout the video. Speaking of the background, I think I see an iron.
Dave2 doesn’t like when we leave links to contests in Twitter. I don’t want his wrath when he visits for Dave Lake City 3 in August.

I’m hosting a blog author appreciation week, and I’m hosting it here on your blog, which I picked at random. YOU WON! You’re the random author I will appreciate this week.
Congrats.

My favorite flower is a daisy, I have too many favorite colors to list them, and something random is that I am cooking pancakes right now for a late breakfast. While I am cooking them, I am thinking about Daisy of Love and the episode where she tried to make pancakes, and thinking that thought makes my entire rambly comment go together now.

Calla lilies
I tell people black because I love the look on their faces when I say it (although I am drawn to it), but I really love most colors.
You know that piece of skin that attaches your lip to your gums? It’s called a frenulum and I don’t have one on the bottom anymore. They severed it because it was pulling my gums away fro
my teeth.

Love reading your blogs, Hilly!
Here’s my random piece of info: in my world, raw tomatoes are the enemy. Just nasty and so not right!
Oh and just for an added bonus, I’ll throw in the fact that I have knee people. Yep. My knees are so boney they look like little old chinamen!
Thanks for sharing with us girl! Hope to see you at the reunion!

Hey Hilly! The dark hair color really suites you. It looks great.
Flower: Lilacs.
Color: I like all of them.
Random Me: I adore bad 80’s musicals. The best lineup would be Can’t Stop the Music, Xanadu and a little foreign film called Starstruck.
One can’t be sad watching those. Ever.

Favorite Flower: Alstromeria (sp?) - look like small lilies, are cheap and last forever
Color: Pink, yes I’m the girlie girl who wears everything pink
Random fact: I am double jointed and can bend the top joint of my fingers without the rest of the joints bending. Try it, not many can do it…
Love reading your blog!

My name is Amanda. I don’t really have a favorite flower or favorite color. I suppose if I had to sucker punch myself and pick both, I would pick pink peonies. Also, I don’t regift contest wins. Only because I’ve never won a single internet contest.

Let’s see…
My favorite flour is Gold Medal All-Purpose, but usually I just buy the generic supermarket brand because who’s gonna know, right?
My favorite cruller is a raised, glazed one from Tan’s Donuts around the corner from my dry cleaner.
Something random about me? Umm… in eight days, I’ll be at Disneyland. I’m a sucker for Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride.

All the critters in my house at some point every day get called “monkey”. Only the dog is actually named “Monkey” (or Chango, really). They are also referred to as the following: bunnybutt, puppybutt, turtlebutts, and the crabcakes.

Hi Hilly!
I think you should be the one getting the prizes. I appreciate all your posts that have made me think deep thoughts, laugh and cry.
I love your video posts ’cause it lets me put a voice to all your posts.
It is too hard to pick one favorite flower. I love gerber daiseys, irises and lilacs. My favorite color is blue. As far as something random … I can barely take a still photo of myself without having an anxiety attack so I don’t have much hope of ever being comfortable with a video.
Happy Blogger Appreciation Week!!

Hello Miss Hilly! I was looking through your video posts yesterday, and I have now decided that you must do your hair like your video on October 11th, 07. Not that it isn’t cute now, because I love it (no bangs) and black (srsly, never change) but I love the look in 10/07 too!!
I need a new webcam bad, I bought one a few weeks ago but it’s craptastic, and I have heard good things about the one you’re giving away!
Happy Blog Appreciation Week!!
