**COMMENTS NOW CLOSED*** TGIF! As much fun as this has been, it will be good to get back to normal. I want to thank everyone who has entered throughout the week. I had a goal in mind of how many comments I wanted to have to feel that this was a success. Happy to say I think I will reach (and hopefully pass) that goal.

Some of you are now following me on Twitter and a few have subscribed to the feed. That means a lot to me. Because you did so without being asked.

I realize gaining new readers is one of (if not THE) point of this carnival.
However, I decided not to make subscribing to my feed a condition of entry. I know you can unsubscribe at any time.

But I wanted people to subscribe because they like what I'm doing here, not because they were forced to. So thank you again. I so, so appreciate it!

I know there are contests galore to be entered, but if you have a moment, look through the archives and get to know me. Check out my reading list or my favorite posts (Mozilla users scroll to the bottom). I'd love to see you back here again.

OK, I'm off the soapbox. Back to the giveaway. The last prize is another glass pendant from the talented Jeanne Lee of Trinity Treasures. This one is brown and gold with flecks of green on a brown silk cord. You have no idea how it will pain me to give this up!

To enter:
1. Go to the Trinity Treasures store to see Jeanne's other items (click on 'go to store,' top left).

2. Come back here and leave a comment on this post and tell me what other piece you'd buy - required. (If you entered the first contest, just let me know in the comment)

3. I MUST have a way to get in touch with you! NoReply@Blogger will not send you a response. I will have to delete comments with no contact info.

4. Comments will close tonight, August 1st at 11:59pm CA time.

5. I will use random.org to draw the winner and post the results/notify winner via email and in a "Winners" post on Saturday 8/2.

6. You don't need a blog to win, but I MUST have a way to contact you. US residents only (sorry!)

*Enter my first pendant giveaway here, the Chick Lit giveaway here, the re-usable totes and Trader Joe's GC here and the Starbucks/Barnes and Noble GC's here. (not required, but why wouldn't you?!)

Thank you! Good luck to all my entrants. There's still time to enter some of the 1,000+ contests at Bloggy Giveaway central. Have a good weekend!

Bloggy Carnival Giveaway Day 4

***COMMENTS NOW CLOSED**** Today I'm getting right to the point (my mom is coming in town and my housekeeping standards have slipped this week, not sure why...).

Please check out my other four giveaways. All are open until Friday. I will have another (different) glass pendant for tomorrow. Day 1. Day 2. Day 3. Day 5.

Back to today: I love to read. Usually I'm at home, but there's something about going somewhere else to read, like the beach or a coffee house, that I really enjoy. So I'm giving one winner a $10 Starbucks card and a $10 Barnes and Noble card.

To enter:
1. Leave a comment on this post and tell me what you have planned for the weekend - required.

2. I MUST have a way to get in touch with you! NoReply@Blogger will not send you a response. I will have to delete comments with no contact info.

3. Comments will close on Friday, August 1st at 11:59pm CA time.

4. I will use random.org to draw the winner and post the results/notify winner via email and in a "Winners" post on Saturday 8/2.

Thanks again for coming! Be sure to keep checking the Bloggy Carnival Giveaway hub for more great prizes. I popped in before posting and there were 960+ giveaways. 1,000 should be no problem. Have fun!
