Past Post Parade – March (& A Giveaway!)

March 31, 2009 by Elaine

It’s time for this month’s installment of Past Post Parade. I know y’all are excited, just calm down now, ok?

See my little “button” up there? I created it myself in just a few minutes. However, it’s just the image, no fancy html to go with it anything. I’m not THAT good.

So, if you want to promote the PPP on your own blog, feel free but all you can do with it at this point is copy and paste. I’d love it if you would, but no biggie.

If this is your first time to participate in PPP then let me give you the “skinny” real quick.

*Link up to a post from last year at this time (anything in March) or two years ago, or even 4 years ago if you’ve been up to this that long!
*If you have yet to be blogging for a year, pick something from when you did start or one of your favorites.

* Link up to that post in the Mr. Linky below.

* Visit each other’s past posts to get to know each other better and meet each other!

This week the PPP comes with a twist – a GIVEAWAY! Wahoo!

I was contacted by a representative for Quaker (as in Quaker Oats) and because they know I love their granola bars (I’ve mentioned it on here before) they were kind enough to send me a lovely package that included 3 boxes of their new flavor, trail mix, a VERY cushy 100% organic cotton robe and a pair of organic cotton slippers. Sweet.

And of course they are willing to send the same thing to one of you. In order to win all you have to do is link up to an old post of yours. It’s already written and everything!

If you want an extra entry, twitter about PPP and the giveaway and leave a comment with the link to your tweet.

Alright, so get to linking up. I’m excited to read your past posts this week! : )

*Giveaway ends this Friday, April 3rd at midnight. Can ship to U.S. or Canada.

    Very cool! Reading my March posts of the last few years was eye opening. I go through similar things each year.

    Great idea. However my posts were really boring back when I first started blogging last year. In fact, I probably only had two or three posts that month. 🙂

    US… or Canada. Yay. counts me in.

    I get so frustrated with those US only giveaways.

    And I’m only a day late this time.

    PS: You want html for that button?
