Giveaway - ViviV Design

Swag!  Or Greeks Bearing Gifts…

In honor of my 1 week blogoversary and heritage I come bearing gifts.  Not of the trojan horse variety but of my etched glass tumbler variety.  That’s right.  A ViviV Design giveaway.  And why a giveaway so soon, you ask?

BECAUSE.  I have the attention span of a flea and I am rather proud of myself for posting every day for One. Whole. Week.  So get it while the gettin’s good.  I might move to Paris on Friday or get stuck under a heavy piece of furniture tomorrow not to be heard from for 2 months.  It happens in real life.  Ask my friends.  Anyway, one very lucky reader will win a pair (two) made by little ol’ me.  To enter the giveaway read the *fine print* below.

This is how we do it (humming Montell Jordan):

  1.  Become a lemming…by ‘Following’ me on this here blog

  2.  Get chatty…leave me a comment on this post about how you will use them

  3.  Shake your booty…out of the chair and do an impromptu dance party 

       Serious.  Do. It. Now.  I’ll totally know if you don’t.

You have until midnight EST Sunday, January 29, 2012 to do all 3 to enter.  Winner will be chosen by random number generator and announced Monday.  The lucky winner can choose the MR & MRS tumblers or a personalized one-letter initial.

Good luck peeps.  And welcome to those of you just joining the broadcast for the free stuff.  Cheapos.  Kidding.  Stay awhile and take a gander at what you have been missing.

kisses,  mrs. V
