Possum Magic Turns 30:: A Giveaway



I grew up on a diet of Possum Magic and Vegemite sandwiches. I used to lie on the spare bed, in the sunshine, and read books. Book after book after book. 

Idyllic really. 

Possum Magic was always a favourite. Mem Fox, one of Australia's best-loved authors, created Grandma Poss and little Hush way back in 1983. Can you believe it? 

It's one of those iconic reads that has been part of many generations lives. I love reading it to my own smalls, it's such a beautiful story.

To celebrate this literary milestone, courtesy of Scholastic Australia, I've got three copies of the deluxe clothbound hardbook to giveaway (valued at $29.99 each). 

To enter all you have to do is comment on this post and tell me what your favourite sandwich is. 

- One entry per person
- Please, please, please ensure you leave your email address, if I can't contact you, I can't send you your prize. 
- Entries are open from Tuesday 23rd April and close midnight 29th April 2013. 
- Open to Australian residents only (sorry!)

Ruben sandwich all the way - although as the Ruben is a rather new trend, my all time fave would be chicken and avocado.

Of course it is a Vegemite and butter sandwich but must be on fresh soft white bread with a crunchy crust. Nothing beats it!

Taking the time to recognize what you're eating is the first step to losing weight. It is not limit to any particular diet plan. Keep a timeline of success indicators such as weight and waist circumference.

Vegemite and butter (has to be soft to spread easily) on the cheapest white bread in the supermarket... or as my Pop refers to it - "white death". Cut the crusts off and eat them first. Then eat the centre. This is the sandwich that got me all the way through high school. :-D

I believe what you published was very logical. But, what about this?
what if you added a little information? I am not saying your
content is not good., however what if you added something to maybe get people's attention? I mean "Possum Magic Turns 30:: A Giveaway" is a little vanilla. You could look at Yahoo's front page and see
how they create news headlines to get viewers to open the links.
You might add a video or a related pic or two to
grab readers interested about everything've got to say. In my opinion, it could make your website a little livelier.
