fun with blogging: contests and giveaways!

I have a total weakness for blog giveaways and contest. I love entering them, and have been known to loiter on the Blogher site trying to win cash from Arm and Hammer Laundry Detergent by leaving a required comment about tough stains. The contests below were way more fun, since they were sponsored by two of my favorite bloggers.

I won this energy muse bracelet
from Debbie of the blog
Four Angels Momma.
It came in the neatest packaging
and included an interesting scroll of information.

Debbie is a great writer and photographer.
She often publishes posts about the journey of motherhood.
I love to read about her sea-glass hunting finds.
She lives near the beach in Southern California.
Check her out!

Thanks, Debbie!

I won this cool prize of Opie Dixie pet products
from Andi of the blog,
Misadventures with Andi.
(Cowboy and Indian are going to love this stuff!)

I always find the best information on Andi's blog.
An admitted Francophile, she blogs about her love of France,
along with her work in social media.
She definitely lives up to the moniker on her professional site,
Andi lives in San Francisco. Check her out!

Thanks, Andi!

Congrats! on your wins. I got a book I won in the mail Sat. Can't wait to be able to sit on the patio w/a cool drink & read while the furbabies frolic.

Have a wonderful week!!

blessed be...

PS Thanks for praying for Ronnie. No good news yet. The swelling in his brain is not going down, they have induced a deep coma w/paralysis to hopefully keep all his energy focused on healing his brain. There may be hard decisions to make this week. James is just devastated & is becoming almost completely incommunicado. I am getting updates through facebook & twitter. I just keep praying minute by minute.

I've been thinking of doing a give-away of my own, maybe some Native inspired jewelry. What do you think? Any tips for doing a successful give-away?

Before I discovered blogging I played online sweepstakes. I had special software and I entered hundreds of sweepstakes per month. I won a nice Canon camera from a Brooklyn Educational TV station as my best prize. I also won tons of books, cds, dvds, tshirts, etc. About one out 10 was worth keeping.

Blogging is a lot more fun. But my Cannon camera quit and I hate the Fuji I got a silent auction.
