Dear Friends...
Hold onto your seats! I’m having my first ever Blog Giveaway!
I’ve struggled with this, because I don’t have a regular store, an online store, or even a job for that matter (lol) ... thus, what to give away?
I will be in Paris in September, and I plan to buy some fun little trinkets for future giveaways, but what to do now?
SO here’s my idea...
leave a comment at the bottom of this post, and you will be entered in a drawing. The contest will close down on Sunday night at 7:00. I will choose 2, yes 2 lucky winners, at random (possibly my granddaughter pulling the names out of a hat)! The odds are with you, as I only expect a few entries. I will post the winners on Monday, and you can send me your address through e-mail if you win.
Each of the winners will receive... DRUMROLL...
a postcard from Paris!
I will go to the Eiffel Tower, buy some postcards, write you a special message, and mail to you from the Eiffel Tower post office. They have a special postmark and everything! I will even post a pic of me putting it in the mailbox.
Just think...one day, among all the bills and junk mail, your heart skips a beat, as you see something unusual in the mail...
I know this is a tiny giveaway compared to most I’ve seen, but play along...won’t you?
Thanks!!!!
P.S. I know some of my friends struggle with leaving a comment. All you have to do, is click on “comment” type it in, and choose “Name/URL”. You only have to type in your first name...the URL is optional. If you can’t get it to work, I will accept a comment on Facebook or an old-fashioned e-mail!
I would love some of you to become followers as well. It’s easy!

Have fun in Paris. How long will you be there? I leave in October.
Teri,
I love your "oh so cool," Postcard From Paris, giveaway. Your idea is so much fun and so unexpected! It sounds like a book title or at least a chapter title for Girl Meets Paris.
Charline
Great idea for a giveaway. I have always heard of the special Eiffel Tower postmarks but have never actually seen one. Please enter me in the draw, and perhaps I'll get to after all. :o)
Thanks everyone! I was afraid you would all think the idea was crazy. Tell your friends to enter.
Celia...I will be in Paris for 2 weeks. We leave the middle of Sept. It's getting close!
I will blog a little from the apartment, depending on Internet connection and all that.
Thanks again.

Sounds wonderful! Btw... I've awarded your blog. Check out my post to see. :)
Teri,
This is awesome! I have a map of the world on the wall and COLLECT POSTCARDS from all over the world!!! Yay! They have to be officlally 'sent' from a friend - I can't just buy one or mail it to myself. SO, I am SO HOPING to be a winner! If not, I am still completely in love with your Blog Giveaway and your whole Blog Site!
Love,
Deanne
Hey-I'm awarding your blog 'BEST BLOG EVER'! Does that count??? I can't wait for your Parisian Apartment Blogs! We're swimming in blogs! I love it!
I love this idea. Please enter my name. Leila and I would love to get a note from Paris.
Oh this is the best giveaway ever!! I love it. I'm dancing for joy about your upcoming trip!! I am thrilled to see Paris through your eyes!!! {never have been to Paris... it's on my must get to list!!}

Teri! What a cool idea, girl!
I'm so excited for you going back to Paris -- each time it must get harder and harder to come back! Lexi would probably love going to school there!! :)
~Ruth
Since I can't go with you the next bestest thing would be a bonafide postcard from you, in Paris!
This is a great idea and i can't think of many things I'd rather find in my mailbox. Have a fantastic time in Paris.
Teri,
What a fun idea--a real postcard in the mail! it's almost a lost art. I would love to find the Eiffel Tower in my mailbox someday. September is just around the corner, and I know you are excited about being there. September--some quickly!

What a cute idea!! So unique!
Hi, I've been reading your story and enjoying seeing it unfold. What a great idea! I'd love a postcard from Paris!
Count me in! I want that postcard!
Teri,
what a generous person you are - sharing yourself and your life as you do. Hope you get to know Paris a lot better as you spend more time with her.
Libby
you are so sweet!!!
I love to read your blog and as a matter of fact, I have a picture of me looking at the Seine like the one of your husband. Hope you have a great time in Paris and if I WIN it will go in my Paris Scrapbook that I'm working on it as I type.
beest regards,
Wanda Contreras
Teri,
We're hoping you & Scott have another wonderful trip; better than the last ones. Enter us, though we look forward to seeing your pictures!
Dave & Shari
I am a new follower on your blog and I want to wish you all the best on your travels. I am jealous and hope to be in Paris again next summer if I'm lucky. The postcard is a wonderful idea!
