CSN Stores, New Year Giveaway!

What a way to ring in 2011, with an awesome giveaway from CSN Stores!

As a CSN Store Preferred Blogger, I am able to tell all my readers about the wonderful items they have in their 200+ stores and provide you all with great giveaways too! I myself have purchased several items from CSN Stores, and have been very pleased with quality, shipment and delivery. (I am loving the new lights I got for my home that were on sale :)

Here in Maine, the snow has been flying and the cold weather prevails, but I am longing for the warmer weather and the chance to get outside. One of my favorite things to do is sit outside on the porch and relax. (minus the spiders and biting insects of course!)
And I dream of sitting comfortably in a round chair with a nice cold drink on the table next to me and a good book in my hands.

Yesterday was my birthday, and instead of sun, we had snow :( Granted, it was just a dusting and enough to make the roads greasy-but definitely not a welcome sight after the huge storms we have had recently, leaving 12" PLUS in our area both times.

But it's times like these that I can plan ahead, dreaming for the warmer months, and start thinking about outdoor projects, our garden, and some new modern furniture for my home. CSN Stores helps me fulfill quite a few of these dreams, as I "window shop" online for new goodies I want to buy. Now, it's time to think about what YOU want to buy. Because CSN Stores has graciously offered me another $55 GC for one of my readers! Hmmm, I knew that would get your attention!

This giveaway starts today, and continues until 11:59 PM EST on February 1st. It is open to US AND Canada as well, so if you live in one of these countries, by all means, enter away! Winner will be notified by email (so make sure you leave it in your comment, or have it on your profile) and has 48 hours to respond to the winning email so that I can forward your gift code to you.

One very important rule: Please do not comment on the CSN Stores Facebook page, you will receive an extra entry for being their Facebook friend/fan, but no comment is needed on their page in order to earn that entry.

I am going to make the first, mandatory easy peasy! Tell me something you are looking forward to doing this summer! I will most likely be heading back to Guatemala for a month or so, in June and July-but I'm nosy and like to hear what other people have planned.
