New GIVEAWAY idea! Taking affect TODAY

*So I had an idea and my husband thought it was GREAT! Lets see what you all think!*

Starting TODAY, anyone that wins something that I have to MAIL will get one of these
I will send you the bottom portion and I will keep the "Ticket" part. I will place all tickets in this
jar folded in half. On January 1,2012 I will draw ONE ticket from this jar (while being video recorded) to choose a winner. Whoever has the other half of the ticket I draw will have to provide a picture of their half with the NUMBER visible within a week of the drawing to claim their prize. I will continue to draw ONE winner every 3 months from this jar. I will NOT start over after each drawing. I will simply trash the winning ticket so that ticket can't be chosen again the next time.

Now for the prize! The winner that is chosen every 3 months will not receive one thing! This prize pack will contain AT LEAST 10 items! That's right I said TEN!

*I do appoligize to all of my international followers, but this giveaway is for U.S. residents only. I have to pay for all shipping out of pocket and it costs more than $12 to send just ONE book overseas so a prize pack of 10 items or more would really be expensive. :(  I do appreciate my international followers and will continue to allow ALL single book giveaways to remain open internationally. (lots of other blogs don't offer ANY international giveaways unless they are ebooks)*

HOLY CRAP what a great idea this is! You rock my friend! How exciting! This is so super cool! I think with that many books, it would be fair to ask your followers if they are willing to help out with the S&H if they are the winner! (I have done this for many blogs that I have won items for)! Just a thought!

this is very cool! You are a genius!!!

Sounds really fun. Very creative of you to think of this. Agree that postage has gone up a lot. Makes it expensive to send anything so it's really generous of you to not only give 10 items but pay postage too.

This is a unique way of building excitement and suspense, which is why it will appeal to readers so much. A brilliant idea.

What a generous offer and what a shame I can't take part - I live in England. Which by the way, is not a war torn riot zone, but very peaceful and civilized! There was a temporary blip for 5 days caused by a tiny minority. All quiet on the western front now. But as a teen author, I guess I feel inspired to write a YA novel about the incidents.

That is a wonderful idea. Very clever and generous. Nicely done :D
