The GATAB 2014 Summer Fun Giveaway Is Now ***Closed***!

UPDATE: Yay! I'm extending the entry dates... Please see the change at the end of the post. Thanks!


Well, folks... the time has finally arrived! I know. It sure took long enough, right? Well... I'm not going to go into all of the details, but let's start by saying that as usual, life, Lupus, menopause and being on the road for a visit with the daughter-child (who's going to be making us first time grandparents in December, by the way!!!) and then a stop to spend a bit of time with some much beloved in-laws, made for a much busier early Summer than I had ever expected.

But, I digress... let's get to the giveaway, shall we?!

In all of the years that I've been blogging, I've never done a giveaway before. Can you believe it? I got to thinking about it over the very long, horrid Winter we had here in the Northeast and I realized that my cyber friends and family really deserved to know how very much I appreciate them.

And how truly grateful I am that so many of you (you know who you are) have faithfully and lovingly stuck it out with me throughout this crazy ride we call life.

You've waited patiently through some long and often times, unplanned absences; listened to my whining and virtually dried my tears and cheered me on, while I helplessly (and far too often, hopelessly) searched for some kind of answers to what it was that has been ruling my life and making me so sick and so miserable, for sooo very long.

So, thank you! Thank you all... from the bottom of my broken (medically, not emotionally) heart and my eternally grateful soul. This giveaway is inspired by, in honor of and for, all of YOU!

OK... The Official Rules are simple:

Leave me a comment, telling me which prize package you'd most like to win and why you'd like to win it. (the packages are numbered 1, 2 and 3 in the photo at the top of this post above and I'll provide links to each individual post that describes each package, below) You can leave your comment in any one of the following places:

1) here on the blog (in the comments below), or

2) GATAB's Facebook page, or

3) Google Plus, or

4) Twitter, or

5) in the comments section under this Youtube video.

(just click the words that are underlined and highlighted in blue or red in the lines above, to be redirected to that particular option - they'll turn pink when your curser is over them)

You must be at least 18 years old to enter and you must follow the official rules above before you go for any of the additional entries!
