A give away fit for a princess!

I have exciting news.....so exciting I just couldn't wait till Monday to give this item away!

Back a few months ago I was reading Meghann's blog as she was preparing for her the disney marathon. She had written a post in which she went to an expo to pick up her race package and bought a t-shirt. When I saw the T-shirt she bought I BECAME OBSESSED! I HAD TO HAVE IT!

I emailed Meghann to find out if this was a shirt that was only available through the Expo. She kindly responded and told gave me a link to the website . I quickly contacted the company and asked if they ship to Canada...long story short they do and my shirt is on it's way!!!!

I think I may explode!!!! this is what the shirt looks like: (it reads MY GLASS SLIPPER)


and the back:

It reads:

The race is my ball,
my running shoes are my glass slippers,
the finish line is my prince charming,
and the accomplishment is my happily ever after

Does this shirt just not SCREAM SYL!!!!! I will be wearing this shirt the day of my half marathon, it's perfect!

Anyway in my excitment I thought how great would it be for someone else to benefit! I mean I can't be the only one who would want one of these! So one lucky person will have this shirt shipped right to their front door courtesy of me! Once a winner is chosen I will contact the company again and place the order in your size and have it sent to you!!!!!

I'm not going to make you do anything crazy, just leave me a comment (maybe tell me how awesome I am :-)), to double your chances link this contest on your blog and spread the word. And a winner will be chosen by the boys pulling a name out of a hat! Contest closes Friday February 26th! Good luck!

***p.s. if you have added a link to your blog please leave another comment so I know and you have two chances to win :-)***

Fran said...

Love the shirt and you're awesome. Only thing is that you seemed to have lost my blog link :lol: Haven't seen you around lately.

But otherwise: you're awesome, did I mention that?

Maureen said...

Thanks for the giveaway offer! That shirt is so cute and your blog is always a treat to read.

Fran said...

Sweety I was just teasing you. I know you're a busy girl and you have lots of commentors on your blog and follow a lot too.

So no excuses, drop in when you have the time. The nice thing of Google reader is that blogs don't disappear if you can't read them right away. I'm always behind on reading except for a few and catch up when I have the time.

So .... thanks for your lovely comment and enjoy your Saturday.

Happy running, Princess!
