  2. I am so in. And for the record, I love your mother. Will you share? Get out on the internets and spread the word on this one–this is a GOOD one.

  8. Hey you! Congrats on the milestone. 😀

    I am going to pass on the goodies–I have cranky skin that is allergic to EVERYTHING… grr. But, it’s a very generous offer… 😀 Blessings!

  9. You’re welcome! It was fun going through the boxes. I need to have a big clearance sale of all the stock on hand, obviously. Yikes! I knew I had a lot of Avon in the basement, but holy cow! I’m glad I could help, especially since I get a lot of joy from reading your blog and I’m really having fun reading Mrs. G’s blog too.
    I hope the winner enjoys everything they receive.
    Congratulations on 200!

  10. thank you, thank you, thank you, Mommy!
    sifting through Avon products always makes me nostalgic.
    it was always SO exciting to help you open the big boxes of Avon every other Sunday!
    you’re such a sweet, giving mother!
    Love you,
    Kalurah

  11. WOW, you guys!
    I really wasn’t expecting this sort of response.
    I took for granted the irresistible power of Free Avon! 🙂

    p.s. don’t forget, ladies~leave your email address in your Blogger log-in or email it to me!

  12. oooh! i could so use this…i’m turning 29 this year which i think is worse than 30. it’s the end of an era – and i feel like it – and I feel like i look like it.
    btw…i’m sort of new to your blog but enjoy it immensely! thank you!

  13. Very generous of you all! How I used to love looking through the avon catalog when I was a little girl. That is where my lifelong obsession with cosmetics was born!

    One of my favorite gifts was a yellow “diamond” ring that avon sold and my parents got me for Christmas. I felt like a million bucks!

  14. Though I didn’t come here because of this I can’t resist entering. By the way I need a book from your mom. My mom use to sell but now that she’s not we (mom, and two sisters) are all going through withdrawl. I can’t promise to be big spenders (HAHA) but between the four of us, we ought to be pretty regular buyers.

    I’ve missed you by the way. I can’t wait for December to be over and my life to return to normal. Talk to you soon!

  18. Wow, 200!!! Way to set the bar!

    As for Avon…I have such a soft spot in my heart…my grandpa had all the cologne bottles that came in shapes of cars, horses, outhouses…and my grandma had all those red crystal dishes! I’d love for my name to be thrown in, as it looks like Avon has come quite a ways from Skin-so-Soft (do they still sell Cote d’Azur? That was my favorite perfume in high school!).

    ps…and a big shout out to Mrs. G for blogging about this!!

  19. oh…and anything with “foot”, “callus”, and “intense/intensive” in the name…that’s all about me. The cooling pillow sounds wonderful, too.

  20. OOH! Mrs. G just sent me over! Please please enter me in your contest! I need me some beauty products to make up for my lack of sleep!

  22. EMAIL ADDRESSES, LADIES!!!
    EMAIL ADDRESSES!!!

    If you don’t leave yours with me, I cannot spread the joyous, glorious Avon Love to your mailbox.
    And don’t forget to return Saturday morning for the announcement of the BIG Winner! Ya gotta know who to be jealous of, honey.

  24. Count me in! mpetrie33 at gmail dot com.

    My aging skin needs help. I should have my daughter send this email message because she wins everything, even two American Girl dolls in a bookstore drawing. She has the touch!

    Hoping some rubs off. And hold onto your familial hats: I have never even laid eyes on an Avon product!!! Virgin territory to convert.

  25. Hi,
    Avon was part of my life when I was 12 and I had a summer babysitting job for an Avon Lady … (she paid me often in those “decorative bottles of perfume) – that was a while ago. I’m glad they’re making products that will help with how long ago that was (do they still have Sweet Honesty?). Count me in. Great Blog, by the way.

  26. Congratulations! I’ve read through son=me of your blog and like it! I’ll be back. Count me in, please.

  27. I’m not reeeaaallly here about the Avon, I’d feel awful if you felt you had to ship it to Canada, I just came by to say “hi” because Mrs. G told us to, and quite frankly, she scares me just a bit. Happy 200th!

  30. Did that say transforming eye cream? OhbabyOh yer speakin’ my language! My new daily morning habit is looking at my saggy, puffy eye skin and screaming really loudly.

    Now I’m heading over to check out your etsy shop! Not that I’m saying that to suck up so I win Avon. Ok, maybe just a little.

    Kudos to you for your holiday generosity!

  31. hey howdie and HIYA. i’m liking your blog. and i’m liking maybe some free stuff too? thanks!

  32. Mrs. G sent me your way…happy to catch the possibility of a giveaway in my first visit and will definitely be back. Count me in for the drawing.

  34. Thank you Mom! And thank you Mrs. G.! And thank you Kalurah! And thanks to the Academy (oh wait, that’s a different post…)

  39. Looks like a great time to delurk.

    Congrats on your 200th post! And thanks for having such a generous giveaway. (Thanks to your Mom too.)
