And the CSN giveaway winner is...

I know all of you are dying to know!

All six of you, that is.



You are leaning towards your computer monitor right now, aren't you?!



Fingers are crossed?!



Toes, too?!



You're thinking: just get to it already, dammit! I have to know!!

You're identifying with Kate Winslet at the Oscars,
just waiting for her name to come up after five nominations...

Ha ha! Just playing around!

My giveaway may not have had many people enter, but a blog's gotta start somewhere, right?


Now, let me get to the point.

I picked the winner through random.org:

And the third comment was:

Josie from A Wink and a Smile! Congrats, Josie!
Just send me your e-mail and I'll make sure CSN gets that gift card to you.

By the way, if you love fashion, you will adore her blog! She makes me want to actually try to be trendy with all her great finds and tips.

Thanks again for entering! And thanks to CSN for putting my very first giveaway on!

My first giveaway! CSN gift card

Last week, I won a giveaway to CSN stores. Yay!

It got me thinking about how great it is to win something... and how much I wanted to have a little giveaway of my own to sort of pay that winning feeling forward. 'Cause ya'll like free stuff, too, right?

So when CSN sent me my "congrats" e-mail and I noticed a message at the bottom: "If you are interested in hosting a giveaway on your blog, contact us!" I figured, what the heck. I sheepishly e-mailed back and asked if my little 'ole blog was giveaway-worthy...

and they graciously agreed!

So here is La Vida Lista's first giveaway:

A $35 gift card to any of CSN's 200 stores!

This website has a huge range of stuff, like...

Furniture, like a ottoman coffee table

Appliances, like this food processor

(NOTE: I think that's what I'm going to buy with my gift card because I have a pumpkin soup recipe I'm dying to try with this baby!)

Cute bakeware, like this pie plate:

I love the robin's egg color. Shannon from Shannanigans, the blog that I won my CSN gift card from, actually won a separate CSN giveaway and picked up one of these pretty pie plates. So cute!
