Everything has been off at the Cocherell household since the beginning of November. I’m still not ready to say exactly what has happened but I will at the first of the year. Things will look a little different on the blog and the social media accounts. I do want to get back to my Just Because Giveaways though.
I’m so sorry that things have been so behind and reviews/giveaways have been slow. Thankfully, I teamed up with a great gal and her giveaways, Deliciously Savvy. I hope you enjoyed them. There were several that I would have liked to have won myself. If she hadn’t already had them coded, I wouldn’t have been able to get them to you. That’s how bad it’s been here.
I really appreciate all of you and I do know I haven’t been able to respond to your posts on social media. I really enjoy interacting on Facebook and Instagram with you. Now, I’m bad about Twitter, that’s a hard one for me :). I’ll do better, slowly. I’m telling you the truth, email me. I’m slow about email, but you WILL get a response, lol! I do love my readers!
I miss all of you. I really do! Hopefully, this Just Because Giveaway will get me back into the groove of things. I’m going to try 🙂 Michael is off the rest of this week and I’ll be with my Uncle on Saturday. I want to try to go to the mall sometime before the first of the year. I really haven’t been in the past three months and I’d like a new pair of jeans and a new t-shirt. A little body wash and body spray from Bath and Body Works would be awesome too!
Well, let’s get on to this giveaway stuff. I know you want to get on to it so you can enter to win a gift card. While you are visiting Sonya’s Happenings… if you are into couponing and you think about it, there are coupons on the sidebar and at the top of the page to print from coupons dot com, Ibotta or RedPlum. I’d love it if you’d check them out! Any and all the advertising that you click on and visit can help me bring you more giveaways to enter. That is my main goal, I just want to bring more to you. I remember when I was able to enter more giveaways than I enter now. I LOVED it.
Please know that I APPRECIATE each and every one of you! When it comes to my giveaways, please remember, if there is something you do not want to do while entering, as in follow, tweet, or share, please don’t. That is PURELY up to you and that is in ALL of my drawings. I give you all of these options because not everyone has the same social media sites. All you need is one entry to win, please remember that.
I don’t do “Just Because Giveaways” because of a giveaway hop or a required prize. This is solely from me and solely a decision from me. This “Just Because” giveaway is for your choice of a $25 e-gift card. It must be an e-gift card that I can send electronically and with US funds only, PayPal and Amazon are still fine. My giveaways are still open worldwide, but I don’t know how the e-gift card will convert to your currency. It also must not be something I have access to, meaning I don’t have to join a website. The giveaway is open worldwide to everyone as long as you have an account to one of the gift card options and will end 1-15-20. The winner must reply to the winning e-mail within 48 hours or I will have to choose a new winner. It is a rafflecopter giveaway, so please give the form time to load.
Please check your emails on January 16th because I do send out the winning email that date. There have been several people who have lost out on their GC’s because of no answer. You can whitelist my email to ensure you will receive it. It is sonyasparks@gmail.com ~

Sonya’s Happenings… product reviews, giveaways, and gift guides would be the perfect place to get your products noticed!
