It's a HAPPY DAY!!!! I'm TWO!

On 8 August 2008 a bubbly, slightly over-energetic girl sat down and started a blog.  She called that blog Just Jingle.  And....

....wait for it.....

....PEOPLE READ IT!  Yes, folks, that was the most amazing thing of all!  People decided to read this little blog that Jingle sat down to write.  And now, two years later, LOTS of AWESOME people read it and make Jingle happy every SINGLE day!  And THAT, my friends, is what today is TRULY about! 

YOU!

Happy Day Alpha Card

It is a Happy Day, indeed!  I made you this card!  And, I made a little video, but it was kinda boring, so I decided not to use it.  Just say'n.

BUT, that's not all!

Happy Day 3

You see, what good would a fun card and a HAPPY DAY be without a GIVEAWAY???!!!!  

Actually, it would still be pretty fun.  Just say'n.  BUT...I am going to toss in a GIVEAWAY ANYWAY because I just LOVE you guys SOOOOO MUCH!  

(Wow, this post has a lot of caps.  You may want to turn your speakers down.  HA!!!  - That was a joke...caps only 'look' loud...you can't actually here them.  Just clarifying in case you are confused and still wondering if your speaker controls are anywhere near that built in cup holder on your computer.  HAHAHA!)

Happy Day Alpha Card 2

So, wanna know what you can win?  GOOD!  'Cause  I do to!  HA!  No, really, I'm cracking myself up today!  I really am.  That happens from time to time.  Just say'n.

BUT, for reals, it is going to be a surprise!  Partly because I'm not 100% sure what it is yet and partly because it may alter slightly depending on who wins!  

So....wanna know how to enter?  Well, you have ONE mandatory entry...and that is that you Publicly follow my blog via Google friend connect ------->  (See that neat box with the happy faces up in that column over there...that's where you do that if you haven't already.  No, I don't usually require this for my giveaways, but since this is a thank you to my readers, I would like one of my readers to WIN!

Here are your optional EXTRA entries, keep in mind that you MUST post a separate comment for EACH of these to get credit, as I draw based on the comment numbers.
*  Leave a comment letting me know your favorite post from the past two years!  (link it or give me the title and why!)
*  Post about my blog and this giveaway on Facebook and leave a link to the post in the comments!
*  Like my Facebook page and leave a comment here with your Facebook Name
*  Follow me on Twitter and Tweet about my blog and this giveaway with a link back here.  Leave a direct link to your tweet in the comments or include @JustJingle in your tweet!
*  Post about my blog and this giveaway on YOUR blog for THREE extra entries (leave THREE comments!).  Make sure it is a post all by itself AND don't forget to leave me a link to it so I can see it!
*  Add me to your blog roll and post a link to your blog so I can see it!  Leave a comment here!
*  Send me Cherry Laffy Taffy with the Sprinkles on it.  (HA!...kidding, you don't have to do this one...but if you do, I will TOTALLY enter you extra!  LOL!)

Okay...*whew!*  So that is LOTS  of ways to enter, but I PROMISE to make this an awesome prize!  Like SERIOUSLY good.  Just say'n.  

I am going to keep this giveaway open for THREE weeks so lots of people can enter AND so I can slowly but surely show you parts of the prizes!!!  Right now, I'm planning on one winner, but that could totally change depending on how many entries we get, so SPREAD THE WORD!!!!

Giveaway closes on 31 August 2010.  Winner will be announced HERE on my blog!

Oh, and in case you want to see the post that started it all.... head on over here!  And if you want to see a few of my personal favorite posts check these out:

Barnes and Noble, The Nook, and Flaming Eyebrows (I didn't write this one, but it is pretty darned funny!)

So, overall, thanks for being awesome, thanks for reading, and thanks for being here when I need you most!  You guys seriously rock.  I'm Just Say'n!

Jingle Out!

Congrats! And thanks for blogging--love reading what you're up to. You're a hoot! and I'm now an official follower on google as Charli Twain.

charli said...

Ok, one of my faves and it's difficult to choose--is Evil Monkeys and Such...because my hubby would do the same thing with a monkey stamp...he would also do the squirrel thing if I ran one over. Boys are funny!

charli said...

Ok, now I like your page under my married name, Mary Kochensparger.

Lynn Stevens said...

Electra said...

And finally, cus I know you're getting sick of me, my favorite post is hands down the Suicidal Squirrel one. One, because I howled, picturing you and the squirrel trying to get around each other. Two, because I would do the same thing. Three, because your home-squirrel is choice! (and so is the hubbums)

My favourite ever post was your Mad Hatter post - that little guy is amazing. Do you still have him? Does he sit in your craft room?

I also loved the post you did with the video when you gave away the tshirt - it was the first time I'd clicked on one of your vids and it cracked me up!! Your accent is different to how I imagined it.

Pamela said...

I absolutely loved the blog about the suicidal squirrel! http://justjingle.blogspot.com/2008/09/ghost-of-suicidal-squirrel.html

I had a squirrel chew a hole in our kitchen screen once, going after a jar of peanut butter someone had left the lid off on a hot summer day. My husband had to "sweep" the poor squirrel out the front door in motion that would have put professional floor hockey players to shame! I wish I had a video camera to enter it on AFHV's.It was a screem!

Pamela said...

I`m sending you Cherry Laffy Taffy with the Sprinkles on it!
