Soap and Lotion Bar Giveaway.

I'm so excited to be hosting my very first giveaway!!!

This is something I've been wanting to do for a while, and I finally have an excuse. In honor of reaching our first 100 likes on our farm's Facebook page (you can see it here) and reaching over 3,000 views in one month on this blog for the first time last month, I'll be giving away two bars of our cold process soap along with one of our lotion bars (scented with rose essential oil) to one lucky winner. If you've never heard of lotion bars, they're made of nourishing oils and beeswax that you use by simply rubbing between your hands. And since they don't contain any water, they're preservative free.

Some of our soaps (most of our soaps are made with goat milk from our own herd). 
You can visit our website's soap page here. 

Lotion Bars.

Now for the legal part: One winner will be chosen at random when the contest ends on February 17, 2013. The winner will be contacted by email to obtain their mailing address - if after 48 hours the winner has not responded a different winner will be chosen. As soon as possible, I will mail out the prize. When you sign in to Rafflecopter make sure to include an email address so that I can contact you.

Thank you for participating and good luck!

    We have 3 cats (Remus is 4 1/2, Charlie will be 2 in April, and Archer is 7 months old). We also had a westie named Snickers but she passed away on January 2nd from acute kidney failure. We don't own any other animals but there is a cow pasture across the road from our house, and ALL of them love watching the cows :)

    We have two cats. Poly is a female 6 toed - about 6 years old. And my son recently added Vince, male now 4 months old, who is a bundle of non stop energy! Poly is in that middle years kind of grumpy and set in her ways time of her life, she is not amused with Vince and lets him know this EVERY DAY! Not sure if they ever will be good friends, but they tolerate each other well enough. :-)

    My family runs a horse rescue so currently we have about 35 horses on the farm. I enjoy raising poultry and have a turkey, 5 geese, 3 ducks, 4 bantam chickens, and 10 chickens. Oh and a farm couldn't be a farm without barn cats, I think we are up to 12 right now, it goes up and down because we work with animal control. They bring in young vetted/spay/neutered kittens every so often some stay and some are adopted to people looking for barn cats. It works out really well because our older cats teach the newbies how to hunt mice.

    I don't have any farm animals anymore, but we used to have a ranch with ostriches,emus and rheas. I've had chickens and ducks too, and we had a goat when I was younger. I actually think I've had just about every "pet" you can have. Iguanas,geckos,several different kinds of frogs,tarantula,scorpion,a horse,parrots,snakes,fish,etc.. Right now I'm at my lowest number,I have 7 dogs,a cat and a red-tailed boa.:)
