Giveaways are now closed. Winners will be announced tomorrow!

I'm throwing a party. With the help of several special friends, we are having a party to celebrate our new milestone --- 400 Texas Blogging Gals! I hope you have enjoyed getting to know some of these truly wonderful bloggers from our great state as much as I have.

So here's the deal. We have not one, two or three giveaways. We have FOUR! That's right. Four hostesses have graciously offered to help me treat some lucky Texas women.

First, we have Lynn from BriCo Jewelry Designs. She will be offering an awesome Texas pendant necklace.



Next, we have Sharon over at Sharon's Garden of Book Reviews. She will be giving away a gift basket that includes a couple of good books and some extra special goodies.

Then, we have Laura at White Spray Paint. She is treating someone to a great turquoise necklace.



Finally, Paula over at Snail Mail Notes is giving away a collection of her Texas items. Her notecards, stickers, labels, and notecards are so cute. Prices range from $0.50 to $2.00. So her collection of $20 will  get the winner alot of good stuff.



To get in on the "Texas" giveaways is very easy! You must be a Texas blogger. Makes sense, right?

So just leave a comment telling us at least one thing you love about Texas.

The giveaway will close September 1.

Between now and then be sure to hop over to our blogs--Lynn, Sharon, Laura, Paula and me--to say hello. We would love to chat with you!

If you are a Texas blogger who just found us and want to be included on the list, leave a comment with your blog name, blog address, and your region number (see map on the sidebar). Then we are good to go! I'll get you on the next updated list.

A Party in the Making!

If you've been with me on Texas-Blogging Gals for awhile, you may recall that after we broke 100 members on the list I hosted a giveaway. Then I had three guest hostesses to partner with me at our 300 mark.

Now that we have 380+ members, I am so wanting another party!!

I would like to invite three of you (I have one hostess already) to partner with me for giveaways when we reach 400!! That simply means when we reach 400, we will have FOUR giveaways!! How awesome is that.

If you would be interested in partnering with me, you need to email me. Don't leave a comment here. My email is at the top of my main blog To Everything A Season.

Tell me:

1. you want to help
2. give me an idea of what you would want to give away

If I get several emails, I will randomly choose three of you. Then, the plans will be put into motion!

If you are a Texas blogger who just found us and want to be included on the list, leave a comment with your blog name, blog address, and your region number (see map on the sidebar). Then we are good to go!


Check out the new list! New ones are marked with asterisks.
