Announcing February’s First Friday Freebie Winner!

~ Midwest Storyteller ~ 1 Comment

My February Freebie got all caught up in the snow, snow and more snow, which had me confined more than usual.  Once things finally cleared up, I was able to get it to the winner –

 Christine in Boonville, Missouri!

 Congratulations, Christine!  Enjoy your gift and thank you for subscribing and entering to win.

If you’d like to find out what’s inside the cute, sparkly box Christine is holding, see the original freebie offer here.

You can see past First Friday Freebies and their winners on my Freebies! page here.  If you’re not yet a subscriber to Midwest Storyteller they might entice you to become one – First Friday Freebies are for email subscribers only.

Christine entered her email in the subscription area here on the blog and then confirmed her subscription when the confirmation email arrived in her inbox.  If you’ve done that and not received a confirmation email, please email me at barb@midweststoryteller.com and let me know as I am trying to work out a few bugs with that. 

Subscribing is the best way to avoid missing what’s new here on the blog because you’ll get an email reminder each time there’s something new – like when there’s a FREEBIE on the First Friday of every month.

Comment as directed on the post that offers the Freebie and you’ll be entered to win. 

Freebies help me reach more people with my stories, recipes and more.  When you share with all your friends via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, you’ll give them the opportunity to subscribe and win also.  Subscribing is free.  Freebies are free.  Get the idea?

Coming up:  March’s First Friday Freebie!  That takes place on Friday, March 5th.   You’ll be able to see a photo of the Freebie and enter to win all day that day.  Don’t forget to check the email that you used to subscribe for notification that you’ve won.

A winner is chosen at random from those subscribers who enter before midnight on the day of the drawing. 

REMEMBER:  Should your name be drawn as the winner, you will be notified via the email you used to subscribe.  That means you’ll need to check your email often in the week following the drawing so that you can respond and keep the prize from being offered to someone else.

Take a moment make yourself familiar with the complete Freebie Rules by clicking HERE.

These four simple steps will have you ready to enter to win on Friday, March 5th, 2021.

Are you ready to hop into spring?  March’s Freebie will put you in the mood!

Lovin’ February’s Freebie Winner!

I hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day. It always seems that when this day is past that spring ought to be just around the corner. But wait! Let’s not get in such a rush!  What about the winner of February’s First Friday Freebie? It happens every month and this time it happened to –

February Winner Lee Ann www.midweststoryteller.com

Lee Ann of Duncan, South Carolina!

Lee Ann entered the drawing by following the instructions in the post to leave a comment saying, “I Love Valentines!” It’s that simple.

Congratulations, Lee Ann! And, thanks for sending me a photo! I hope your recipients were blessed by the Valentines.  I can only hope the Valentines are as wonderful as your smile is in this photo!

The Valentines were made my me. If anyone is interested in a tutorial on how I made these using real lace and fancy trims, please comment and let me know.

The next First Friday Freebie drawing will be on Friday, March 2, 2018. SUBSCRIBE and don’t keep it to yourself.  Share this post with all your friends so they can enter! A winner will be chosen at random from those subscribers who enter before midnight on the day of the drawing by leaving a comment as instructed in the post.

One thing about First Friday Freebies here at Midwest Storyteller – you never know what you’re gonna get! Take a look at the “Freebies” page at some of the other free gifts over the last few months. I’m tellin’ you – it pays to SUBSCRIBE! – and subscribing is just as free as a…well, a FREEBIE!

And now, a recap of the Freebie Rules.

  1. First Friday Freebies are available to SUBSCRIBERS ONLY. That means if you come to the post through social media or someone has emailed you a link to it and you haven’t become a subscriber yet, you’ll need to hop on over to the right sidebar and do that really quick. If you are on a phone or tablet, the easiest way is to go to the “About Me” page. All it means to be a subscriber is that you’ll receive an email each time Midwest Storyteller has something new, which won’t likely be more than once or twice a week. It keeps you from missing out on all the fun and FREE STUFF! And, I’m not sharing your emails with anybody.
  2. IMPORTANT: After subscribing, you MUST check your email to confirm the subscription or it will not appear. Then, sadly, you won’t be eligible to enter.
  3. To enter the drawing, scroll back up to the top of this post and under the title, click on “Leave a Comment”. Subscribers who comment as directed before midnight on the first Friday of the month will enter the drawing, provided they are already on the subscribers list and live within the continental United States.

Three simple steps! Subscribe now, before you forget, and you’ll be ready for March. Spring is on the way and with this freebie, you’ll be ready for it!

Why not “share”, “like” and “pin” this post so all your friends don’t miss out?

Scroll back up under the title of this post and leave a comment.  I’d love to know  you think of the freebies so far and which features of Midwest Storyteller you like best.
