Jungle Madness Friday - Carly Style
So we do this contest every week and it gets harder and harder to find giveaways. Luckily I’ve been collecting things over time for just this reason: so I have cool gifts :present: for you! I’ve been crazy busy and I have things piled up to mail out, so if you are waiting, forgive me! ![]()
As for today’s giveaway:
A really cool Pink Aspen Tote from Bath and Body Works along with a signed hardcover of CROSS MY HEART (but I’m still going to beg the winner to spend the money on the paperback the first week of release!)
CROSS MY HEART will be in stores in paperback June 26th!

(This is the NEW paperback cover. Winner will get the old hardcover cover)
HAPPY FRIDAY … from Puerto Rico where I’m on vacation with my husband!!!!!

Great prize.
Don’t count me in though since I all ready have the HB and will be buying the trade when it’s out. Not that I wouldn’t love to have my HB signed but I’d rather someone who doesn’t have it win. 
Happy Mother’s Day Everybody!!!

Great prize! Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers. Have a great weekend.
Comment by Crystal B. — May 11, 2007 @ 10:07 am
Wow! Vacationing in Puerto Rico sounds fabulous and with your husband…the best. I am envious.
What a terrific prize. The pink tote bag looks beautiful and a copy of Cross Your Heart just makes it even better. I would definitely not mind buying another copy as my neighbor and I exchange books plus when we are finished most of our books go to a home for people (mostly women) less fortunate and they really appreciate them.
Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!
Comment by Shari C — May 11, 2007 @ 10:07 am
Great Prize! I LOVE Pink….Carly, that is what you and I have in common, I am a pink freak, too.:love2:
Enjoy your trip, I have never been to Peurto Rico, so have fun for all of us.
Have a Wonderful Mother’s Day, everyone.:love2:

Comment by Cail — May 11, 2007 @ 11:02 am
Love the tote (pink is my fav color) and I’ll buy the paperback. I have the hardcover but I like to reread alot of my books so a paperback is easier to take along. Just in case I have a minute or two to read.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!

Comment by RachaelfromNJ — May 11, 2007 @ 5:03 pm
Have fun in PR, Carly but watch out for those crazy drivers! They only watch in front of the car and don’t care about anyone behind so cutting in front of other cars is the norm.

Lucky You!! I love P.R. Where are you staying??
Have fun and Happy Mother’s Day everyone!!:present::cocktail:
