I’m so sorry that I haven’t had a Just Because Giveaway the past couple of months. I know ALL of you know that I’m busy because I tell you. I shouldn’t complain. This is the month of Thanks and I’m thankful for you.
I want to have a November $25 GiftCard Just Because Giveaway. Honestly I’m going to try to get back to having a Just Because Giveaway again every month.
I do know that the next two months will be event-filled for so many. I hope that I do get to visit with a few of you on Sonya’s Happenings…
I know that you all probably know that I have a new dog, Sweetie. No one would ever claim her. She has been the greatest blessing to me and I truly mean that. It has taken up A LOT of my time because she was in very bad condition. I still need to get her teeth cleaned. It’s apparent that she’s only eaten table scraps. Her teeth are in awful shape.
She stays by my side, all the time. I can’t move without that sweet little dog beside me. She sleeps with me. She is just very attached to me. I just love her to death and I mean it I’d be a mess without her now.
I’ve been working hard on recipes and diys. I honestly posted The BEST Caramel Apple Texas Sheet Cake Recipe this morning, so I hope that you will check that out.
I haven’t done a ton of shopping unless you count Walmart, lol! That is pretty well a standard if you live in a small town like I do.
I’ve talked about my new favorite hand sanitizer, Klean +. I’ve ordered from them, it is a purse size and smells wonderful. It certified with 100% pure therapeutic essential oils & 67% food-grade ethanol. It is 99.9% effective at fighting the most common germs. I actually keep a bottle in my Church pew where my Hymnal is held. I also keep a bottle in the door of my car. I LOVE it!
WHILE YOU ARE VISITING
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, Fetch or Ibotta (they reimburse you in PayPal). 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.
LET’S GET ON WITH THE GIVEAWAY!
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 for one of the gift card options and will end 11-27-20. 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.
Good luck to you all!
Let’s Win
