200th post... and a giveaway!

This makes entry #200 here at Enlightenment, Southern Style. Who'd-a thunk it?

I've had a lot of fun sharing things here. I've made friends and learned a lot throughout the journey. Thank you for trekking along with me. We've had some laughs along the way, shed some tears, and cooked a whole lot. As always, take only what you need and just leave the rest. I'm just thrilled to have your company. Thank you so much for visiting - I really do appreciate it.

So, I thought, why not share my happiness and have another giveaway? Then I thought, what in the world would I give away? What says "TennZen?"
  • Jelly, obviously. I make tons of jelly. And fruit butter. I'll include a jar or two of some of my award-winning jelly and fruit butter. I'll surprise you!
  • And how about a paper journal? You can use it as a personal journal, an address book, a garden journal... whatever you'd like.
  • I crochet all the time - what about including something I've crocheted - a potholder or two? Toss it in with your camping gear. I crochet them out of cotton so they're completely washable. They also make great washcloths. I keep several in my own camping/survival kits.
  • Canning. How about the Ball Canning Utensil Set! It includes a funnel, a bubble freer spatula, a magnetic lid wand, and a jar lifter. I don't ever attempt to can without having these tools handy.

Here's how to enter:

Leave a comment on this blog post - be sure your e-mail is readily available because that's how I'll contact you.
The contest begins today and closes July 10th. That gives you 2 full weeks to participate.
After July 10th, I'll enter all the names in a big canning jar and randomly select a winner.

Good luck - and have fun!
