T-Shirt Giveaway!

I just got back from our annual trip to Nebraska last night! We try to go once a year to visit family & friends. This year also happened to be my 25th high school class reunion! Say what?!? We had a great time reminiscing & catching up. There was only a few of us that were able to attend but we still had a wonderful time!

While I was there, I was able to spend some time with my friend, Gretchen Garrison. We did lots of visiting. While we were visiting, she asked if I'd be willing to sponsor a giveaway on her blog, Odessey Through Nebraska. I gave her a resounding, "yes"! The fruits of our labor have resulted in me offering a t-shirt that can be won by merely commenting on her blog! If you would like to enter her drawing, please go to her blog here. While you are there, check out her posts & have a look at all the neat things you can do when you visit Nebraska!

Thanks, Gretchen, for allowing me to sponsor this giveaway for you!

Enjoy!
