A Giveaway! {Closed}

Congrats, Rachel! You won! Email me your address! 
sarah.f.mcpherson@gmail.com 

Thanks for participating, everyone! :)

I don't know about you, but I love the Olympics! I'm not a big watcher of sports year round, but the Olympics draw me in and make me a fan of just about everything (so glad golf didn't make the cut, though). I love the history of the games- going back to ancient Greece, and how the Olympics bring the world together (however temporary it may be). I remember being a big fan of "the Thorpedo" back in Sydney 2000; the 2004 Athens games inspired me to write my college application essay about the Olympics, and the final hockey match in Vancouver 2010 (USA vs Canada) was simply stunning. I will probably tear up at the opening ceremonies tonight, no lie.
I wanted to do my first ever giveaway this summer; I thought first of doing one for my birthday, but the Olympics is way more fun and a better theme to create a specific giveaway around. If you're an Olympics fan, or even not, I hope you like what I've got for you! Here's what you could win: (one winner gets all)
 (plus a t-shirt not pictured!)


1. London coin purse- to represent the host country.

2. $10 Subway gift card- to eat like a champ, like Michael Phelps or Apolo Anton Ohno in those commercials.  

3. USA 1984 mug

4. 60 Straws in the Olympic ring colors.

5. Gold and Silver nail polish.

6. Candle- representing the Olympic flame (you don't have to keep yours burning, though)

7. T-Shirt size M (on its way to me so it is not pictured above).


To Enter:

Follow From the Desk via GFC and leave a comment sharing what your favorite Olympic event is (winter or summer)!

Extra Entries (leave a comment for each):

Good luck and thank you for participating!

  3. Definite favorite event is the snowboarding half pipe during the Winter Olympics or the gymnastics during the Summer Olympics. Or swimming... I can't decide which I like better, especially because this summer, a girl from my high school will be swimming for the USA! Woo :)

  4. Favorite event- figure skating. They always look so graceful (I envy that... I can barely skate at all)

    Random fun fact... the first time that I remember watching the Olympics was from a hospital room when I was 8. I thought I was so special to get eat in bed, AND watch tv. Nevermind the fact that I was in the hospital.
