A 250+ Follower Linky GIVEAWAY!!

  250 something ....
Are you ready for a giveaway!?

So... I wanted to do something different (do you feel like there are a gazillion giveaways??).  So this is a LINKY GIVEAWAY!

A what?  A linky giveaway... link up for a chance to win!  Here is what it is about:

Last summer my school did a super fun contest.  The teachers thought of a creative way/place to be "caught" reading.   I had a blast trying to think of a place!  We then put the pictures on display for all the kids to see!  So...I want to try the same 'contest' HERE!  I KNOW the AMAZING bloggers and readers will not only have fun with this, but will be awesomely creative (I just made that word up)!!  So put on your thinking caps for....


Special thanks to Jessica @ Mrs. Stanford's Class and
helping me out with this!!

Here are some examples...

That's me... reading under a cannon... in the pouring rain!

Not weird to be reading by an alligator! ;)
A co-worker reading with the Cubs mascot at a Chicago Cubs game :)

I am reading in the cockpit of a plane! (this was SO cool!)


This is my principal!  He was caught reading on an Alaskan glacier! :)

So how does all this work?
First, think of a creative place to be "caught" reading... and snap a photo!  Then post (grab the "caught reading" pic above) and link up so we can all see your pic!  You can be the one reading OR have a family member instead (kids, hubby etc- must be related to you somehow).  You don't have to have a blog to participate!  Just email me your picture and I will add you to the giveaway (and share your pic here).  You can share more than one photo, BUT only one should be "submitted into the contest." 

Once the pic is taken... link up or email.  That will automatically enter you into the giveaway.  All photos must be submitted by the end of the day on July 22th so get movin'!  :)

On the 23rd, TWO people will be randomly chosen to win 3 total items from each of our stores (Jessica, Lisa, and myself).

THEN... the three of us (thanks to my two fabulous guest judges Lisa and Jessica) will narrow it down to 3 of our favorite pics and then the voting will be opened up to YOU!  A GRAND PRIZE WINNER will be chosen by the votes and will win....
3 items from my store and 1 item from each of their stores (5 total items) AND... a $20 gift card to a store of your choosing ... oh and the title..."MOST creatively caught reading in an unusual place pic... ever!" - or something like that! :)

Remember to link up!  Let the reading begin! :)
HAVE FUN!

  24. Ok -- sorry for the previously deleted comments. I was having a problem getting the main link I am trying to insert into this comment to work, grrr. But I think I have it now and this is what I wanted to say: Oh nooo!!!I took a picture for this earlier today that I was so excited to share but I was out most of the day and didn't make it back before the link up closed down. It's still only 10:12 PM here in Colorado. I realize this is procrastination at it's very finest but I was wondering if there was any chance my picture could still be considered for the running?? If so, my post and picture can be found linked up {HERE}. But if not I totally understand. Either way thanks for hosting such a very entertaining linky!!
