Giving Away Books & Soap in Celebration

 
Oh Blog Friends,
It is true, I am celebrating having 300 (actually 310) blog followers. I care about each and every one of you and hope you like this giveaway.
One lucky blogger will win the three books and the soap.
There is a soap shop right near our home where I bought this pretty bar of French soap which comes in a dainty red bag. I chose the scent of magnolia for you. The soap is made of all vegetable oils and is hand milled.
The three books are ones I enjoyed reading.
Anne of Green Gables. The title says it all, great to read again or give to a young reader.
Dearest Dorothy, Are We There Yet? by Charlene Baumbich. This writer has a flair for humor and the main character is older than me! She is 87, drives way too fast, and one of her church groups is "The Happy Hookers."
Thief in Retreat by Aimee and David Thurlo. I like all these ingredients: a nun who solves mysteries, has a white German Shepherd retired police dog, and drives a classic motorcycle with a sidecar.
Just leave a comment, and be a follower of my humble blog, for a chance to win. I will use random.org to select the winner, on February 22, 2012.

I came to sit a spell and find out a little bit about the one behind all the great comments you leave on my blog. :)
Love your flowers in California! I have enjoyed all your eye candy today. Just wish I could smell them!

Congratulations on over 300 followers! That's just wonderful.

One of those books just happens to be a favorite in this house. (Anne of Green Gables) The other two look wonderful. I love humor.
