You are cordially invited to enter a drawing for a gift basket (or tray, whatever) of tea time goodies. I will be giving away wonderful tea pretties, thrifty finds and the like. If you would like to donate an item please see below.
To join in on the fun, read on...
To enter into the drawing you may either leave a comment on this post, but you will need to provide your real first name +plus+ your email/blog url. If your name is drawn, I will need to reach you somehow to let you know that you won -OR- you can email me directly at parteagoodiesgiveaway [at] gmail [dot] com.
If you win, I'll need your snail mail addy to ship the goodies box.
The deadline to enter the drawing is April 3oth.
If there is enough of a response, then there may be additional drawings.
You do not have to be a mother to enter.
I can only afford to ship the goodies box to the U.S. (I'm so sorry international friends!)
Dems Da Rules:
If you decide to enter the drawing, I ask of you to be a good sport and request the following:
*That you have a blog.
*That you copy the Mother's Day Goodies Giveaway graphic (here is the graphic url, or just right-click on the one in the upper right, then upload) and upload it to your side column and direct blogging peeps to TheParTeaPlannerBlog.com so they can enter too (or at least to check it out, I know not everyone loves tea stuff like I do!).
Since I am new to the blogging world, nobody knows me and I only have, like, three blog friends. So I need your help to get the word out about the giveaway. Even if you don't care to enter to win, but would like to add the graphic and info to your blog anyway, it would make me a happy chica.
*That you appreciate tea stuff, and not just entering to see if you win or to give it away.
*That if you win, you pinkie promise to have a little parTea with the goodies and show pics on your blog.
Wanna Donate for the Cause?
If you are a talented crafter, sewer, knitter, scrapper, candle-stick maker, tea shop owner, jelly maker, antique dealer, etsy shop owner, etc. and would like to donate a tea-related goodie, by all means spread the tea luv!
Should you like to participate just let me know and I will include a holla'back to your blog and letting the blog world know about your generous gift (I will take a pic of every donation and showcase it). And if your big heart is so inclined and you want to throw in an extra goodie for this parTea girl, I'll cherish it!
You may mail your giftie donation to:
Risa Provencio
P.O. Box 73223
San Clemente, CA 92673
All donations must arrive by May 1st, 2007 so I can wrap it up.

This should be fun and I look forward to seeing who wins! Thank you for stopping by...

What an incentive to start my blog! I am going to create and update my site so I can enter. I am so excited.
Risaaaaaa! Well I might look smart but I don't know how to put that code in the right place! I don't have to enter either but want you to know that your three friends are really good ones :)
Alsoooo...for the potluck...you don't have to cook anything!!!! Just copy and paste yourself a localish recipe on your blog friday. But a picture of a Costco chicken will be fine. You are bursting my Partea Planner bubble you know. I have you on a really high pedestal! LOL.
Hi! I would love to enter your giveaway! I would also like to donate a little collage if you'd like. I love your new look for your blog, by the way. Thanks! Laurie:)
Oh yes, I will definately participate. Like Shabby, I'm flummoxed when it comes to shifting code from one spot to the other. I'll definately alert folks via my blog tho. I'll be back to let you know when I do, Maybe I can tame that code first!
Darla (e-mail on my blog)
Well isn't that just sweet! Ok... let me get my parTea hat on and sip on what to bloom.
Thanks Risa for posting this give away, it definitely is a great way to swoon some new peeps your way as you get more and more into your blog. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that I win.
I'll also keep my eyes open for something to donate to your giveaway!

Aren't you sweet! This sounds like a wonderful idea. I'm on my way to try to post your graphic :)
Hi Risa,I'm also new to the blog world,only I don't have any friends yet.I have big dreams for my blog,but we are preparing to move soon,so it will have to wait.Anyways,I have 3 daughters who enjoy all those pretty things we see on the blogs...we just drool over those pretty tea pots,vintage tablecloths,etc.My daughters are my friends so we usually have our own parties & like to dress up,so I hope we win the contest...we will defnitely post pics of our party with your stuff if we win. :)
Hi Risa! Hope you have a happy Easter! I would love to be included in your giveaway and I will try to post your graphic soon!
Heather :)
What a beautiful site and idea! I live in So Cal too-waving from the Inland Empire! ;)
I will gladly put up a link on my blog, and if I can think of anything to make (I make all kinds of goodies...aprons mostly, but also bags, head wraps (think I love lucy), and kitchen-y things...), I will send that along too!
Sign me up for the contest! I will link to your blog.

What a fun contest. I will put up your picture and link as soon as I can figure out how to do it. Your blog is great!
What a lovely idea! I'll post your graphic on my sidebar, and enter your drawing. I used to live in San Clemente! It's a wonderful beach town, isn't it? I always loved the old-fashioned feel of downtown - it had such a nice variety of shops.
Thanks, I would love to sign up for the give away! I am intrigued by all the give aways and swaps, I feel like the new kid on the block and that I have moved into a very friendly neighborhood! I think I need to do a give away myself.....
I hope I win..

Mom it's gone.
Honey...THAT WAS DINNER!

I am thinking of what I could donate...the little mouse on the wheel hasn't had enough coffee yet this morning, but, I will add a link to my sidebar and do a post about this for ya too! I don't have many more readers than you- or if I do they just don't comment like my actual 3 friends. Giggle! I am getting ready to do a 6th month anniversary party for my blog with some giveaways.... Kim from http://calamitykim.typepad.com/

This sounds FABULOSO! I'll be happy to promote your smokin' event!
Tea parties (or pseudo-tea parties) are near and dear to my heart; my daughter and I, together with my M-i-l have hosted one for TWELVE years!
I can't believe you're new to blogging and have this great of a response; goes to show you what a wonderful idea you've initiated :).
(http://loveolamb.blogspot.com/2007/04/partea-on.html)
ooh what fun! i already know just what i'd do with the tea party goodies. in fact if i don't win, i think you've inspired me to throw a tea party anyway!
heck - you've even inspired this baby blogger to start thinking of a party/contest i could do myself...
(Laurel)
I would love to enter your contest, what fun.

Don't like coffee, but I do love tea! I'm in. Going to put the graphic in the sidebar right now!
ok, so I am very 20th century and don't have a blog - maybe someday. I know that I am totally breaking all the rules of this contest, but I love tea, I love parties, and I LOVE prizes - and it can't hurt to try, right? :) I promise to read your blog everyday and to tell all my friends about it. I PROMISE!!! Thanks for considering me!
This sounds like fun. I would like to put my name in the hat for some goodies. I would also like to donate something as well. Since I do personalized things and you need them before you draw the winners....I will do some Toile notecards with Thank You in the place of the person's name. How is that? YOu can check them out here.

All I can say about your blog is-WOW!! I loved planning my little tea parties and kid, and even now, when I meet up with some of my best girlfriends, we tend to have tea parties, rather than fancy dinners. I'm so glad I stumbled here, now other than my delicious food, I'll have your wonderful ideas to make it extra-special! :)
ooh ooh! Enter me! I sent you an email too. I'll put up the graphic and everything tomorrow so as not to interfer with wordless wednesday. : )
Every party needs flowers and I'd love the winner to have one of my whimsical little vases to pop some flowers into on Mothers Day. I'm not a blogger and I admire all of you who can create a blog and run a business!
PS. This is a special time of year for me and I want to express a gratitude to all mothers and every woman who has placed the needs of children and others above their own.
