Monday Montage

Monday is the hardest day of the week for me. Once the alarm clock goes off at 5:00am, the first words out of Bob’s mouth are “I’m staying in bed” (which is what Bob tells me every day) LOL…

Besides owning our own antique store...which at present we only get to work at on weekends; Bob and I each work full time jobs…when we retire though, our store will be our only job…the job we both LOVE to do…but right now, since I have to work, I am not particularly fond of Monday’s.

To make my Monday’s more interesting, I decided that I would like to start a display chain giveaway called Monday Montage. This is really easy to do. I will give you a word(s) and my own picture(s) for each week’s montage and your goal is to put a picture on your blog with that Monday’s theme, and add a comment on my blog…easy enough…  

                                                          

My followers will have all week to post their pictures and comments. Once I reach 50 followers, I will have a giveaway…this giveaway will be for both my US and Canadian followers. Yes Sandy, if you win, I will ship to YOU! This giveaway will be a secret…hint… those who like prims and crafts should like this…

OK, here are the rules…

1. Since I work on Mondays, I will post the word(s) for the week on Sunday sometime.
2. Everyone who is a follower by this Sunday (March 27^th, 2011) before I post the first pic…will be automatically entered into the giveaway...only fair since you are already following my blog.
3. Your Monday Montage must incorporate at least ONE item for the theme that week….no cheating as I will check out your pictures…
4. Each WEEK if you post a picture of the Monday Montage on your blog, mentioning the giveaway with my blog name, and also comment on my blog, you will be entered into the giveaway. I CANNOT check everyone’s blogs to see pictures unless you send me a comment…I just don’t have enough time...but remember, before I add your name, I will look at your pic.  
5. No comments or pictures from previous posts will be accepted into the free giveaway…only current ones, so no cheating.
6. You may post as many pictures as you like for that week, however only one picture each week will be entered into the free giveaway
7. If you become a Facebook fan for our store (Back Porch Antiques) you will also get an extra chance to win…just send me a comment that you did.  For those who already have liked our Facebook page, please send me a comment too, as Bob takes care of our Facebook page…   

Once I hit 50 followers, I will have the drawing…in the evening of course

This is a way for those of you to get creative and show me how you decorate your homes. At my store, I am constantly asking my customers what they plan on doing with their purchases and this display chain will also give me an idea of what everyone likes to collect. Good luck everyone!

Remember, I will start on Sunday night....
