I have a photo published in the May/June 2011 issue of GRIT, and received a spare copy of the magazine from the publisher. I don't need two copies of the magazine for myself, so I thought I would do a give-away for the spare.
If you'd like to enter the drawing for a copy of this issue, leave me a note! I'll choose a name at random on Friday morning, April 22.
Here's to gettin' gritty!

Just checking in on your blog... love that you are able to plant things already. Here in WI we're still experiencing SNOW! I know... I know... sad but true! Hey, also saw the giveaway and thought it looked like a neat little magazine! Love your blog, Anna, one of the first ones I check - always!

Congrats on getting your photo published! That's so awesome! Would love the chance to win a copy of grit! Looks like an awesome magazine!

I would love to win this for my mom. I remember when my grandparents subscribed to this, it seemed more like a newspaper back in the day. My grandma would pass it on to my parents, who farmed the family ground. The farm is still in the family but my mom has to rent it out as she had no sons, and the dd's never married farmers. She loves to look at your photos on my computer.

Oh boy, Anna...more of your awesome photos for all to see! Most cool!

I was just browzing through the May/June 2011 issue of Hobby Farms a girlfriend shared with me. During lunch I was reading the article on Dexter cattle by Sue Weaver. Made me think of you and your sweetie! Would you like a copy of it? Really enjoy your blog; thanks for sharing

Anna,
Congrats on the publication!!!! And, please don't unplug dear old dad when he runs out of cash! :-)
I would love to win a copy but if it doesn't happen, I will have to track down the magazine to see the photo and that article on zucchini!!!!!! I wonder if Barnes and Noble sells it? Uhmmmm.
Have a super day, Manetta

I've ever seen the magazine, so it would be fun to have my first with an "Anna" pic in it!!!!
Posted by: VivLyn | April 20, 2011 at 09:41 AM
Anna, Congratulations on your newest publication! I was going to start up a collection to have all your fans send your Dad a copy, but I see you already have that covered! Might I suggest that you turn over your blog to him next time you need a few days off. He's a stitch and everyone always loves his input. I dunno know, though, you might want to think that one through really carefully!!! :)

I'm sure I could never be the farmer/gardener you are, Anna, but I would sure love a look at this publication. I've never seen it! Good luck to Jeanne in Idaho!! Where it's still snowing every day (along with intermittent sun - crazy!!) xo

I love this magazine. Years ago my son sold them for extra money. He was about 10 yr. old and quite a large route. Congrats on the publication of your photo. TFS the extra copy.
Hugs,
Linda
