Starbucks Giveaway!!

The tease is over!! I know I've been saying that another "contest" is coming, and then I totally drop the ball. Life just has a way of interfering with good intentions! But here it is, and when all is said and done I think it is just perfect timing! Today is the first full day of Fall! I love this season. I love the smells, the sights, the soups, the anticipation of Thanksgiving and Christmas...all of it! So this is going to be a very non-competitive event. It's a giveaway more than a contest. All you have to do is participate and you could win this lovely prize...


It's a stainless steel travel mug from Starbucks in what color?? Say it with me: CHOCOLATE BROWN! Yum. Even as a color that is yum. And a $15 gift card to fill this with your favorite drink a few times. Oh - and a "Chocolate Covered Cherry Dark Chocolate Bar" that is not pictured.

Why a giveaway? I truly love to give. It's at least as exciting, if not more exciting, for me to give something away than to get something. Really truly. So, with that being said, as long as you are in the U.S., you can win! Just answer a few questions, then I will take all entries and do a random draw for the winner. You have until Monday the 28th at 7:00 p.m. to enter. Just one entry per person.

Now for the questions:

1. What is your favorite Starbucks drink?

2. What is your favorite thing about Fall?

3. What is your favorite Thanksgiving Pie?

4. What is your favorite Christmas song?

There you have it! Good luck and happy Fall!

***an added disclaimer after the comment from my son: you are welcome to play, but if you live in this house you are not going to win, and you are too young to move out, so you are out of luck! but I just may take you out for a grande white chocolate peppermint mocha if you play your cards right. and you can probably eat food for Thanksgiving. and I will probably make a chocolate pecan pie. so it's all good.***

    Yea! I was just saying to Jack that we need a new traveling coffee mug. And now you present this fine opportunity. Such providence. Anyhow...
    1. Grande vanilla latte. Bring it on!

    2. The change in nature... leaves, smell, cooler air. I love being outside in the fall.

    3. Straight forward pumpkin pie. Real whipped cream, not the stuff in the can if at all possible, on top.

    4. Well, it's sure not that crazy song about the Christmas Shoes. I know you like it Leanne, but it drives me crazy! I much prefer listening to "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel".

    Now you are speaking my language- fluent in Coffee!!!

    1. Tall Caramel Macchiato, extra foam, whole milk, no lid-- though I love a nice hot PSL during this season.

    2. Cuddling under blankets at cold games, Hot Apple Fritters from Lattin's Cider Mill, hot buttered rums, and making soups- you may notice my favorite things are all about food.

    3. Homemade berry pie with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream

    4. Silent Night (my grandmother's favorite)

    Thanks for the entertainment Leann- your blog is so fun to read!

    OK - I will chime in on this one, too!
    1. Grande drip coffee (in a venti cup) with non-fat milk and that powdery fake sugar that is still a bit of a mystery to Leanne
    2. Cool, Crisp mornings when the sun is shining, but you still need a jacket!
    3. Absolutely Pumpkin Pie. I have been seeing the huge version at Costco lately and I can hardly wait to have a slice....I think I will wait until November!
    4. Infant Holy...by far the most beautiful melody of all Christmas music! If you don't know this one, you really need to find it on a disc and buy it!

    1. tall extra hot nonfat with whip cinnamon dolche latte

    2. What's not to like? The comfy converse shoes, sweaters and sweatshirts...crispy apples off the trees in the back yard...the chill that makes you want to be outside just to breath it in...pumpkins and spiced cider...turning the fireplace on...just everything! (EXCEPT THE SPIDERS!)

    3. I love all pie, but thanksgiving just wouldn't be complete without pumpkin pie with whip on top.

    4. I love all of it. I love David Klinkinberg's music. He plays violin and has a Christmas CD. Love the stuff I can sing to too though.
