Yippee!
I'm 24 today! (Again!)
I love birthdays!
I can't tell you how much I enjoy writing Twenty Four At Heart. All of you who take the time to stop by for a few minutes each day make me so happy. There doesn't seem to be a better time to say thank you than on my 24th birthday.
To show my appreciation I am giving out $240 worth of Amazon gift cards today. (24 with a zero behind it!) It seems like Amazon has something for everyone, right? And just in time for the holidays too.
I've made this as simple as I can.
This is how it works:
You must leave a comment (any comment) to be entered to win.
You may enter as many times as you like.
Each comment equals one entry.
I will pick the winners using the Random Integer Generator.
The first winner picked will receive a $100 Amazon gift card.
The second winner picked will receive a $60 Amazon gift card.
The third and fourth winners picked will each receive a $40 Amazon gift card.
That's right - there's $240 up for grabs!
Comments will be closed at 9 p.m. Pacific Time tonight.
Winners will be announced tomorrow.
Good luck to each of you and Happy Birthday to me!

Aww, shucks... Looks like I'm number 1 and number 1 never gets picked. Guess that means I'll have to enter again... Wish me luck!
HAPPY 24th Birthday... wooooo hooooo.
