Blog Anniversary Giveaway!

I started blogging about five years ago.  I just wanted to write about anything under the sun.  I started with jcajote.blogspot.com.  Then, I decided I would like to use that blog for legal updates, or anything to do with politics.  So I started this blog, Jakie and the Beadstalk

Just for your info, this is the name I use whenever I'd sell my "kalakal" - my beaded creations.  It's a play of the title "Jack and the Beanstalk".  Since my sister calls me Jakie, and I do beaded stuff, I changed it to Jakie and the Beadstalk.  I make bracelets, earrings, bookmarks, necklaces, rings, rosaries - all beaded stuff...

When I started this blog, I wanted a blog to showcase me work, but the "feeling writer" in me felt that needed to be put on the sidelines and instead feature my writing skills or the lack of it.  So now, like what I have been doing when I first started blogging, I just write on whatever I think I'd want to write about - anything about being a working mom, my kid's activities, commuting, promos, etc, etc. 

There are times when I seem to have a writer's block for weeks.  There are times that I make lots of drafts, only to delete them as I think they're trash. So anyhow, I thank you all for reading this blog, even if it may sometimes sound like I'm just talking to myself.

So to celebrate two (jcajote.blogspot.com) plus three years (with jakieandthebeadstalk.blogspot.com), I'm holding a giveaway for my readers. I know, it's not much, but it's just to show my appreciation for all of you.  (Oh, this isn't sponsored by the products I'm giving away. It's all from me... heheheh)

You have two weeks to join the giveaway. It's a raffle, by the way. What's required is that you put your name on the comment with your email address.  Additional entries if you follow me on twitter,  tweet about the giveaway, and follow my FB page.  Please log in to the Rafflecopter so that your entry will be valid.

Two winners will get two (2) items from Tupperware's colour collection (either the foundation and blush on, or the eyeshadow and lipstick) and a couple of surprise items from Jakie and the Beadstalk's collection! Will post other pics soon.

Oh, only those with Philippine addresses can join.  You have until October 13, 2013, midnight, to join. For the two winners, please reply within five days from the time I contact you, or I would have to choose another winner.







Btw, prizes for the two winners will be shipped and I shall shoulder the expenses.  Caveat for those in the Mindanao area, I don't know if shipping there would be hassle-free nowadays...

Thanks! The problem is I want to write about a lot of things, and I can't seem to focus on just one topic...

About platforms, I've stuck with blogger all these years. I wanted to try wordpress, but the thought of transferring all my previous blogs made me change my mind.
