I’m a fan of The Pioneer Woman and at least once a month she does a really cool giveaway. Among the prizes have been Kitchen-Aid mixers, MP3 players, $500 American Express gift cards, and Photoshop products. I always enter by commenting but, with an average of 11,000 comments, my chances of winning are pathetically low.
I’ve always wanted to do a giveaway of my own for 2 reasons. 1) Because I love winning things and I figure others do too and 2) To persuade my “lurkers” to come out and comment. My stats suggest that, although I average only 4 comments per entry, I get an average of lots more visitors than that (shocking, I know).
But, since I don’t make a profit from this blog (again, shocking, I know) my stash of totally awesome gifts is non-existant. That said, I can come up with something “uniquely Idaho” that I will send to the winner of this contest. No worries, it will not be something naturally found in the pasture.
So, here’s the deal. Correctly guess what Will has in his two grubby little hands, and you’ll win! Remember lurkers, leave a comment.
And to my 4 faithful commenters, even if all my lurkers leave a comment, your odds of winning MY giveaway are a whole heck of a lot better than those of The Pioneer Woman! Good luck…
I stink at guessing… and I STINK even worse at winning things… but here it goes.
Frog! No.. wait…
RAT!!
Umm… Gross worms!!!
Shoot, I don’t know…
idaho shal… it’s gotta be a three legged potatoe.
I just stumbled upon your blog now and it looks like it is my lucky day! I know what you mean about seeing that 50 people looked at your blog and you got 4 comments. I wish more people would comment. I feel that commenting is part of being a “good” blogger. Anyway… I was going to guess a frog but I saw shally did so… I say something from the beach or maybe a grasshopper! I’m not a good guesser either.
I’m with Shally, my first thought was a little froggy. He is so cute.
A lizard!?
I’ll say a cricket!
From Dad: I say it is some baby goat poop.
I am not allowed to win though.
My first thought was a frog, too, but that’s already been guessed so I’ll say a toad.
I guess a Rollie Pollie. When I lived in Idaho we had lots of those.
This is my first time on your blog. I found you on Celia’s page. I like your blog.
I thought frog too. How about snakes and snails and puppy dog tails? I think I’m one of your four commenters. More should comment. They are bad bad friends. You know they are reading.
I am guessing it is his pirate eye patch. I am sure he is never without it!
I guess….snake.
Am I one of the faithful four? I hope so!
You’re sure to have five faithful Commenters now, because I’m on here now…
I’m guessing Will is holding a Katy-did (not sure that’s how you spell it!)
Very fun post Wenderful!
WinCo bulk gummy worm?
You absolutely have more than 4 FAITHFUL commentors.
