Introducing...
...the Fall, Y'all! Bloggy Giveaway. It's the cool-weather version of this (remember?)
Do you like the name? I'm trying to be all seasonal. And basically, I'm trying to get as many of you yankees as I can to say "y'all". You have to work it just right. Done properly, it has as many syllables as possible. Think "YAWL".
Anyhoo, this time around I'm hosting the giveaway at my giveaway site, Bloggy Giveaways. It will be going live on October 29th--head over there to read the details. I have high hopes you will participate as enthusiastically as you did last time--there was a lot of bloggy love floating around!









yeee haaa. Gee, I better ask off from work now. Cause Lord knows there is no way to enter all those contests without several days of free time!!! Yep, I know, I have my priorities in order.
Thanks Shannon!!

YIPPEE!!! I can't wait. I am going to start planning now what my giveaway will be. btw, I grew up in NC and lived in MI for awhile. "Ya'll" and "hey" was two words I could NOT get out of my vocabulary!! I even have a new blog since you did this in the summer.

I think my favorite expression is "all y'all." Apparently "y'all" refers to only one person. This always makes me giggle.

This is kind of sad, but I never received the giveaway I won last time around. I feel kind of cheap e-mailing the lady again to remind her to send me my free item. But I guess it's also possible that it got lost in the mail..in which case I wouldn't want her to feel that she needed to send another one. Bummer. What would you do?

And you spelled y'all correctly! I think the southeasterners say ya'll, which is wrong on so many levels.

Yay!!!!!!! I'm so excited!

Gasp! I LOVE your new template! Now, I'm green with jealousy! Maybe I should have a typepad blog just so I can interchange my templates as easily as you can!!!
Nice stuff!

Okay, is it really y'all or ya'll. I don't know and I'm from the south. I use both. Depending on my mood.
Can't wait for the contest!!!!

It's not hard at all to get Northerners to adopt "y'all". It fills the gaping hole in the English language for a plural form of "you"!! I went to college in southern VA with many Southerners, and picked it up there. It pops out every once in a while, but people sometimes seem to think that look I'm putting it on consciously to be cute. Nope-- I just meant "y'all"!
It is, by the way, a whole lot better than than the older locals here choose to fill the plural "you" need: in Pittsburgh, it's "y'unz". Yes, really. Sometimes there's "y'unz guys". (And you can even pluralize the plural, apparently: I once heard a waitress address her table as "y'unz guyses"...)
Happy fall, y'all!

Love the new blog look, but I can't find your bloggy giveaway link in your sidebar anymore. Am I missing something?
