Hat Closeup This is a closeup of the hats I'm giving away for Blogathon.

Read the rest of this entry to see full-sized images of the hats and how you can win them and other goodies. Please sponsor me!

This particular hat is mine, and is “lightly used” (hence the cat hair), so it’s not one of the ones I’m giving away. The other hats are brand-new - never touched a head. You’ll see that mine has “Ringmaster” in green lettering on the back - yours won’t have that, but it’ll still have the same high-quality adjustment buckle that mine does. It fits my big head great.

To win a hat, submit the highest dollar amount pledge between now and 9pm on Saturday or 9pm and 9am on Saturday-Sunday. The single highest pledged amounts in those ranges will receive a hat if they send me their physical address.

Also, I’m planning on giving away a small, planted cacti seed to anyone who donates at least $5. The seed will be planted in a container in which it can grow, hopefully with the correct mix of sand and soil to nurture your plant. All you’ll need to do is open the container, sit it in the sun, and spray it with water every so often until the catus sprouts. I’ll send you the kit, whether you can get a cactus to grow from it or not is your business. Once again, you’ve got to send your physical address after you pledge, not your email address, or I’ll be sending you only a photo of a cactus.

Thanks to Mom for the great birthday present (a set of hats), which I hope that two lucky winners will enjoy after Blogathon this saturday.
