Okay everyone - get ready for a
super awesome giveaway!
You noticed my spankin' new blog design, yes? Isn't it BEE-YOO-TIFUL?! Heather at
Adventures of Aidanpod gave me a makeover and since she's a local girl - and since I'm celebrating my husband's return home to Seattle after five months stuck in dreary Oklahoma (no offense
Oklahomians Oklahomites rednecks) - I am giving away a basketful of my favorite "Made In Seattle" goodies, a prize worth more than $70!!!

This prize includes the following so far (though I keep adding to it as I discover more "Made in Seattle" things I love. Hmmmm.... I wonder if the little Beast would fit in that box. Although, technically, he was "made" in California while we were on vacation.
What?! TMI?)
Seattle's Best Coffee, Ground, Anniversary Blend
Starbucks Coffee, Ground, Colombia Medium
Starbucks Mocha Dark Chocolate bar
6 bliss-inducing Seattle Chocolates truffle bars (
including my very favorite candy of all time - the Coconut Macaroon Truffle Bar - as well as other flavors like Pike Place Espresso, Rainier Cherry and Meltaway Mint.)
Cougar Mountain Original Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Copper River Sockeye Smoked Salmon from Anacortes, WA
Tim's Cascade Jalapeno Seasoned Potato Chips (
so delicious that I already ate the bag from the photo above!)
Chocolate Caramel Kettle Corn
(yummy. No, I've never eaten an entire bag by myself in one sitting, I swear!)Seattle Magazine.
(The place I work is featured in the latest issue - I took the photo and wrote the ad copy myself. If you win, I'll tell you which one is mine)Sunset Magazine.
(I think it's actually published in San Francisco, but there is a lot of information on Seattle and its suburbs!)Washington State stationery, playing cards, and postcards.
A copy of
Just Breathe, the latest book from Susan Wiggs. (
Fantastic novelist who just happens to be from the Seattle area.)
See, I told you. Super. Awesome. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post telling me one thing you think you know, or like, about Seattle. If you can't think of anything, tell me something you like about my new blog - I love compliments!
To earn extra entries, do any or all of the following. Be sure to leave a separate comment for each as that counts as your extra entry:

2. Visit Heather over at
Adventures in Aidanpod and tell her what a great job she did designing my new blog. And be sure to mention her adorable Aidanpod too!
3. Blog about this contest on your own site with a linkback here. Then leave the url of that post in your comment.

The contest will run until Saturday, May 16th at midnight Seattle time. A winner will be chosen randomly by the random.org widget. Only residents of the US are eligible to win this prize. If you don't live in the States, you can still enter to win, but I'll send you a prize that costs much less to ship, LOL!
