100 Follower Giveaway!!!


Thank you to all of you who follow and read my blog!  I hit the 100 follower mark today thanks to all of you!!!  When I started this blog months ago, it was meant to be a simple hobby for me to work on in my spare time.  It was a new way for me to journal the daily experiences of my life.  To my surprise, blogging has become so much more than a hobby for me ~ it has become a part of my daily life!  It has not only given me a creative outlet that I desperately needed since I left teaching, but blogging has turned into something that I really enjoy! 

To celebrate 100 followers,  I'm hosting my first ever GIVEAWAY!!!  So what will I be giving away you ask?  Well, my blog is “Loving Life”, and two things that I love in life are books and coffee.  I hope you love those things too, because one randomly chosen winner will be given a hard back copy of the Nicholas Sparks book Safe Haven and a $10 Starbucks gift card. 

If you read my blog, you know that I recently read this book, and like all of Sparks' books, I didn't want to put it down until I was finished with it.  I'm definitely a fan of his work, and if you like The Notebook, A Walk To Remember, Dear John, The Last Song and  Message in Bottle, you’re probably a Nicholas Sparks fan too.  The books are always better than the movies, so participate in this giveaway for a good read and delightful cup of coffee :)





Here's how to enter!
Leave me a comment letting me know you're a follower, and then tell me what good book you've read lately and what your favorite Starbucks drink is. 


The deadline to enter for this giveaway is at midnnight Wednesday, June 22, 2011.

    congrats on hitting your 100! I am your 116th now. interestingly enough, my last book I read was Sparks' Nights in Rodanthe. I had found this one in the thrift store and grabbed it! Oh and whenever I go to starbucks I just get a decaf brew. I am allergic to milk and I'm caffeine sensitive so all of those delicious frou-frou drinks are a no-no for me :-(

    Hi there, I just became a follower from Bekah's blog. Hmm, my favorite Starbucks is any of their cold teas. I haven't had time to read any good books lately, but I never pass up a good jewelry book or thrifting adventures book.
