Last week, I finally finished my new novel, Gone With a Handsomer Man, and I am celebrating. Before I start another one and crawl back into my hidey-hole, I wanted to let you know about a few give-aways.One just isn't enough.
Give-away #1

The door prizes for the FF Anniversary Party:
A 20-piece set of white Gibson ("Gollum") dishes. If you want to read why they're called "Gollum dishes," click HERE and Here and Here and HERE to name just a few who swear by this set.

A set of 4 Pietra Cappuccino glasses (hopefully in time for St. Pat's)

Set of 4 dessert plates with polka dots!

Hand lotion for cooks from Skin MD Naturals
The winners will be announced Tuesday, February 23, my mom's 81st birthday. I will post the winners' names, and you can email your address. If you've never participated in Foodie Friday, you can learn about it HERE.
Hold on, there's more.
Give-away #2
March 5, 2010
On March 5, 2010, the give-away will be a 12" copper pan. I've had one for years, and love it. Just leave a comment on any DBG post and mention the pan, telling me why you like cooking with copper (or even if you just like to look at it). The more times you comment, the more chances you'll have of winning (more later).
Give-away #3
April 1, 2010 Facebook Fanpage
Those who join my Facebook Fan page before April 1st will have a chance to win a stoneware LeCreuset pear. The drawing will be held April 1, 2010. Aren't they adorable? Two people will win a casserole. If you'd like a chance to win, look for the comment box on the Fanpage HERE about the pears. It may have scrolled way down by now, so just leave a new comment, mention the pears, and your name will go into the hat. (If you don't win the pear, I'll tell you a secret: There will be more FB Fanpage give-aways all year.)
Give-away #4
June 4, 2010
The Granddaddy Give-away will be a brand-spanking new KitchenAid classic mixer.
You can increase your chances of winning a door prize several ways.
- Become a Follower/Friend of Designs by Gollum via Google Connect
- Add your favorite Foodie Friday photographs to the FF Gallery HERE.
For this gallery, add your blog link and/or recipe's permalink in the comment box beneath your photo/s. The more photos you add, the more times your name goes into the pot for the giveaways.
By adding your link/permalink to your photo, others will have a chance to enjoy your blog and recipes.
- Add your design and tablescaping photos to Design Notebook Gallery. Again, the more photos you add, the more chances you'll have of winning. Please add a link to your blog so others can enjoy your past and future posts.
If you don't have a blog and you are a DBG follower, you are welcome to add your design-related photos to the Design Notebook, and you'll have extra chances to win.
Too, let me know if it's okay to use some of your photos in my newsletter. (Bandwidth will be helping me do the math on all this, thank heavens, so your names will be properly added to the hat.)
That's not all.
There will be give-aways all year because I HEART y'all. I HEART you to pieces. When I was in my writing hidey-hole, all by myself, you were there with encouragement and kindness.
