Summer Celebration GIVEAWAY
On gorgeous days like today, it can be hard to remember it isn't actually summer yet! It isn't though. Summer doesn't start for almost two weeks yet. I think it's arrival is something to celebrate, so to honor the big, bright sparkly in the sky, I'm giving away a sparkly for a lucky winner! Okay, the owner of Glitter Roots is actually giving it away, but it is through my blog, so I get partial credit, right?
Regardless of who is actually doing the giving, here's how you have a chance of receiving: just leave a comment on this post stating what your favorite thing is about summer. On June 20, 2012, the day of the summer solstice, I will randomly select a winner from the entries as close to the time of the solstice, 7:08pm my time (11:08pm UTC), as I can manage to be at a computer and will announce the winner via Facebook and Twitter. The winner has 24 hours to contact me at which time, which I will pass it on to Glitter Roots. The winner will then get to select which Glitter Roots shiny they would like and it will be shipped to them. Sorry, but this contest is open to people with US addresses only please.
