I'm NOT above a bribe...

9:03 AM | Posted by Amie

So a few months back, we took some time out to get to know each other.

Wasn't that fun? Ahh.... Good times. I met so many new friends, found some new blogs to follow and got a few new recipes out of it too. The deal-e-o is, I know there are so many of you out there still lurking. Why don't you come out and say hello? I don't know if you are mad because you feel I lied to you about the UBA... If you read to the next post you would know, it was not intentional. I promise. Don't hold that against me.

Or maybe you are a little scared I might bite you. I have that problem under control, I promise. (still in your best interest not to dangle sugary delights in front of me. I'm just sayin').

Or maybe you are just shy and aren't comfortable coming out of lurking. I encourage you to give it a go. Tell you what, I won't make eye contact with you while you comment. That might make it less awkward in the beginning as we get to know each other. Deal?

So I saw this idea on a friends blog,(shout-out Michelle) and I am going to mooch it. I am going to do a give-away to encourage all my "friends-to-be" in hiding to come out of lurkdom. I am even going to steal her idea for what to give away. If you took the chance to get to know me, you would learn I am not very creative or original. So I need to mooch alot. Therefore, I surround myself with lots of creative friends. It works for me. :)

If you peek to the left you will find some of my favorite blog links. Not all of them, because I am a little lax in updating. There you will find the link to BRING THE RAIN. I know most of my close blogging friends already know about this blog, But if you have not visited there, PLEASE GO. It will BLESS you immensely. In fact, go now, and come back. I will still be here. Really. You won't be sorry. :)

As you now know, Angie's husband is in the band Selah. I am going to give away one of their CD's. I am also going to give away a CD for Brian and Jenn Johnson. You will LOVE them. And I have to say, Feeling kinda proud of myself, as I thought of that one all by myself. Pause for Applause...And I curtsy in appreciation.

All you need to do is to take the time out to leave a comment , and I will do a random drawing in the near future to choose a winner. Even if I Already know you, participate. Cause winning stuff is fun! I will NOT post your comment! Just do me a favor and take the time to tell me a little bit about yourself. I LOVE meeting new people. LOVE IT. And I love following along with your blogs and getting to know your families. But I can't follow if I don't know you. So tell me how you found me, and how I can find you.

Looking forward to getting to know you better. And I hope you win the CD's. I really do. Cause you are my favorite "friend-to-be." Just don't tell the others. I don't want to hurt their feelings!

*** this little give-away is not only for my new "freinds-to-be", it is for everyone. So even if I know you, leave a comment! You are super cool too, and I want you to have a chance to ROCK IT OUT! ***

Praying for your LOA and a speedy TA.

I'm looking forward to following your journey to Jonathan.
