Huge Giveaway, Reviews & Ramblings

This is A Royal Rambling by Order of the Princess:

I just wanted to make a post as a little explaination, reminder and to let you know about some of the wonderful things planned for Park-Avenue Princess!  As most of you know, I was "away" for a little while due to an ongoing  personal illness and I am trying to get  Park-Avenue Princess right back to where it was so winners are being notified by email and starting with the LIZZY BLEU GIVEAWAY, which is right below this post, I will start posting winners on the blog again.  I just need to catch up! 

Speaking of the LIZZY BLEU GIVEAWAY, you still have plenty of time to enter! It's open to everyone, no matter where you live (no P.O. Boxes) as long as you are a friend on Google Friend Connect by following this blog.  This is important because Park-Avenue Princess wants her friends back and her traffic and is going to reward all of her friends by having a HUGE GIVEAWAY.

What is this HUGE GIVEAWAY you ask?  How about a Brand New B&N Nook? Would that make you happy? There will be several ways for you to win. All I'm going to need you to do is spread the word about Park-Avenue Princess and I'd like to see at least 1000 followers and we're almost there.  But, again, there will be many ways to enter.  So, you do have that to look forward to VERY soon!

The next GIVEAWAY I have for you will be from J*Flops! There will be Two winners for this Giveaway and you can design your own pair of Flip Flops and when I say they are not only ADORABLE they are MADE with love and quality as well! Starting NOW and ENDING August 31st you can use the code PRINCESS at the checkout and receive 15% off your order at the J*Flops site! I will have my review and the giveaway up VERY VERY SOON! If you sign up for updates, you won't miss it! I LOVE my pair and am going to buy myself another pair.  Who doesn't love their flops in the summer? These do not pinch between the toes and their IS a style for everyone!  You'll see what I mean!  I'd start browsing J*Flops now so you get an idea for what you want as a treat for your feet!

As for my Royal Reviews, this Princess is So behind.  She's read more books than she can count, but all of her reviews are on index cards and this week I would like to get up some wonderful books that are coming out tomorrow from CANDLEWICK PRESS! Their Spring/Summer line up is absolutely amazing!

I have so many plans in the works for Park-Avenue Princess and I'm hoping to get the changes done quickly but I can't find someone that knows exactly what I'd like.  I hope you'll stay with me and PLEASE visit often. Leave comments, I love that! Plus, here's a hint - Once I put up the Nook Giveaway, it's going to be a way to earn yourself some pretty easy points! A daily visit and a comment or two! I try to visit sites daily as well and if you'd like me to stop by yours well then just leave it in the comments!

Another thing I'd like to bring back is my SATURDAY SPOTLIGHT! That means if you are another Blogger and would like to be featured here, please hit my contact button and let me know! If you've already gotten my letter for SATURDAY SPOTLIGHT but, I never got to you, contact me and we'll work something out! 

Last order of business for now...if you've won something from me, but have not received it, Please follow THESE INSTRUCTIONS - Hit the "CONTACT BUTTON" up top and fill it out with your email address along with your name and prize and I will get back to you!

Thank You for making Park-Avenue Princess the site that it's become! I've got so much more in store and I hope you'll stay here with me and grow!


Kisses and Toodles!

*Opinions Wanted* and *Other Ramblings*

I've been a little confused lately and it has to do with many things. So, I'm going to turn to you, my readers for your opinions. After all, it's your opinions that matter (to me anyway). I'm thankful that you choose to read Park-Avenue Princess and without all of you... Well, I'd just be talking to myself...and to be quite honest, I do A LOT of that already. So, no need to really add to the dysfunction! (That's a post for another time...)

OK let me start of by saying that I am AMAZED that I have 300 followers! Again, I just noticed today and I have to give all of you a HUGE THANK YOU! Ironically, I also hit 300 Twitter Followers today SO that HUGE Giveaway I told you about is going to be a CELEBRATION of this! (But there's a little work involved in it too... I'll get to that in a minute). Seriously, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. This blog is MY VOICE to all of you and it's means of escape, friendship and fun for me. I appreciate each and every one of you! (I'll stop being sappy now...)

Next, I added TWO more book giveaways and there are MORE to list! This month's LIZZY BLEU contest will be added after this post so go to her shop, look to see what you'd like and SIGN UP!! It's ANOTHER ($50.00) Fifty Dollars YOUR WAY in her gorgeous jewelry!!!

(Thank YOU Lizzy Bleu)!!

Speaking of Giveaways, this is one of my concerns. Let me tell you why.
I also want you all to know that I am going to start doing CONTESTS and GIVEAWAYS on TWITTER! Not to mention make MAJOR Giveaway Announcements there! So, I recommend you FOLLOW ME there! It's not required for contest/giveaway entries though! OK?

TODAY is the LAST day to ENTER to WIN "113 Things To Do By 13" by Terri MacLeod and her daughter, Brittany! It's a FUN Book! The THREE Lucky Winners will be announced tomorrow and they will LOVE it!!

I have A LOT of giveaways and it's tough for me to wait for information. That's the hardest part, not getting information on time or having to draw another winner because of NO response. It also KILLS me because I know that person wants their prize AND if they are following, they're notified, they just aren't seeing it and I know first hand EMERGENCIES HAPPEN. So, to have someone miss out on a prize, I don't think is fair. But, I'm going to come-up with a giveaway policy that is going to be put into place permanently!

Another giveaway coming up is going to be for "PIGGY PAINT". Check out their website and look for that review and giveaway (Adorable stuff...I LOVE the Breast Cancer Set). I also have another Miche Bag to giveaway (because this one was SO popular, and the wonderful women at Barbar Hair Products are letting me try out *THIS* little gem and ONE of you will walk away with that $145.00 prize! Plus a few MORE Surprises Up my Sleeve...So, LOTS to look forward too!

Here's where I NEED your help. I wanted to add a little form for you to fill out like on the CONTACT PAGE. (Go ahead and hit the "Contact Me" button up top...I'll wait) Are you back? Good! Something like that but I was going to have you add your name, address (yes, home address), email and how you wanted to enter ... (ie +5 twitter, +5 Post, +10 Button...etc.). But, I KNOW there is going to be some of you that don't want to add your home address and it won't go through without it. It's going to say error and to fill in the necessary boxes. WHY do I want to do this...YOU'LL GET YOUR PRIZE & I won't have to wait for information...I'll have it. After each giveaway the addresses are erased. I DON'T WANT THEM FOR ANY OTHER REASON. As a matter of fact, you're going to have to enter them each and every time!! So, let me know what you think. Because, I'm going to have you post under each giveaway saying you want to be included and that you filled in the form. It's just going to simplify things. But if the majority say no...I'll leave it.

So PLEASE leave your feedback!

I'm also going to turn my blog into primarily the two genres I like best...THRILLERS and YA! I read everything, but I enjoy those two most of all. I just need to finish all the review books that I have that aren't either one! There will still be a little of everything just mainly those two.

Thanks for listinging to the PRINCESS PREACH her ROYAL RAMBLINGS... She's done now!

Stay tuned for the BIG GIVEAWAY Announcement...Sign up for "Cult Insanity" and "The Imposter's Daughter" below and I'll be back to see what you think!

Oh...One more thing...If ANYONE Is Interested In SATURDAY SPOTLIGHT, Please Contact Me! It's a Whole Lot of Fun!!
