Squirrels!!! & a GIVEAWAY!!!

This GIVEAWAY is now closed. Please come back again for more in the future!

Alright, it seems that many of you are as addicted to my squirrels as I am.

I completely forgot that I had captured these photos. After I said I wouldn't post about squirrels for awhile, I was downloading pictures from my camera and found these. I was laughing so hard I had to share...
 They're even bigger than they were last week! I just went and measured the compressed corn that this guy is munching on. That cylinder is 2.25" in diameter... Which leads me to believe this guy is about 4" in diameter. Hence their nickname this winter - Godzilla or Buddha squirrels.
 They just keep on munching and munching.
 I love this picture. It really deserves a caption.
 I literally could watch these guys all day. Maybe it's a good thing my long-arm machine is not at my house. I'd never get any work done.
Just because I could, I blew up the last picture to show the mass that is my squirrel. Which gets me to thinking...

I think in honor of my squirrels we need a GIVEAWAY!!!

 Here's how to enter (there are many chances to win):

 1. Leave me a comment that would be a caption for this photo:
2. My little guys don't have any names this year, granted I can't tell them apart, but alas, leave a comment for A NAME for one of my squirrels (just one name please)

3. Share this post on your Facebook page, blog, or any other social media outlet and leave me a comment telling me you did with a link to the post (just one link please)

So there you have it. Three chances to win. Please leave a separate comment for each entry. The GIVEAWAY will be open until 11:59 p.m. this Saturday the 12th of January EST. 

So what will you win? How about one winner for each type of entry which equals three winners. Each winner will get their choice of two Ruby Blue patterns (for right now) and they will get an autographed copy of my book, Seamingly Scrappy, reserved for them once it arrives!

There you have it! I can't wait to start reading your comments. Have a great day! Show me some squirrel love!

    I think "Whiskers" would be a good name! I love to go to our local park, down by the St. John's river, and feed the squirrels. They are super adorable!

    I would name him Bob. That is our go to name when we can't remember someone's name.

    I bought my daughter (she's six) a squirrel feeder for Christmas. She loves the squirrels but we are trying to keep them away from the bird feeder. She was so excited that they have their own food now. They finally found it yesterday, we put it out on Christmas. They do provide lots of entertainment!

    I think his name should be "Rusty" because he's got such a pretty redish tint to his fur.
