The Bloggy Carnival is on!

by Grace on October 27, 2008

** This giveaway is now closed. **

** Congratulations to Karen Haury! A very big thank you to all who entered! **

I first found out about this much celebrated Bloggy Carnival last year and participated. I am amazed with the number of participants! It looks like a big global affair. So much fun. Check out Bloggy Giveaways, now! (This post is up early so you might want to check out the list of entries at the Bloggy Giveaways site later in the day. Mr. Linky will be live at 8:00 am CST)

I know most of the participating blogs are from the US and since I am living outside of the US, shipping a magic carpet or an oil lamp would be a little painful for me (and my pocket) and there are chances of parcels getting lost and getting sucked into the black hole.

What to do? Well, I’ll give you the liberty to shop by yourself (I’m talking to YOU, lucky winner).

WHAT’S UP FOR GRABS:
$30 via Paypal to one lucky winner!

WHO CAN WIN:
Anyone from around the world can enter, whether you have a blog or not!

But you should have a paypal address, though. If you don’t have one, go create a Paypal address. It’s free.

HOW TO WIN:
Just leave me a comment saying what’s on top of your Christmas list. That’s it!

I’d like to know and the comments would be too lonely with only words that say “great giveaway” or “thanks” or “Enter me!”.

DRAW:
A winner will be chosen at random on 1st November 2008.

Perfect schedule for me since it’s my day off so I can stay at home and spend the whole day doing inny meany miny mo to pick a winner. (read: random.org does the real job)

The winner will be given three days to claim the prize.

Oh, now that you’re here, subscribe to my RSS feed as I will be coming up with more giveaways starting tomorrow!

Other ways to increase your number of entries:

Subscribing to my RSS feed (You might wanna know about the goings on in Dubai even after this giveaway, mind you)
Stumbling this post
Blogging about this giveaway on your site with a link back to this post

Just let me know in the comments that you’ve done any of the above so I can count your entry properly.

Goodluck!

** Do come back again to win a set of cute girls shirts, a beautiful art print and notecards and a hip t-shirt (courtesy of kind sponsors)! **
