By now, anyone who’s read this blog for more than a day or two should know that I love contests. No, Really? REALLY. When a friend and I were at a re-grand opening of our local Roberts, store, they had a little “musical chairs” type game. Every 15 minutes or so, they’d tell everyone to stand by a number in the store, then they would call out 3 or 4 numbers, and if you were standing by that number, you would win a prize! The girl who was doing the announcing on the PA was having fun, I’m sure. Because really, next to winning things, giving things away is almost as fun. “I should do that job.” I told my friend. “You mean the announcer?” she asked, “then you couldn’t win anything.” Which is true. I would rather be winning.
This got me to thinking. There are a lot of blog contests out there, with several give-aways that I have seen (and many that I have entered). I’ve actually won a blog contest drawing, and it was very cool to receive a present in the mail from someone that I don’t even know.
So now it’s my turn to give something away. To you, the readers.
What are the prizes? you ask.
1-Rocky on DVD. New in the package. Even though Ryan has NEVER seen Rocky (can you believe there’s a guy alive who has never seen Rocky? Or Rocky II or III or any of them!?), we’ll probably never watch this movie. But maybe you will.
2-A cute pink puzzle letter set from Li’l Trinkets and Treasures. It was in a little scrapbook kit thing, and since I really don’t scrapbook, I can’t think of a great use for this, but maybe you will.
3-My favorite Ikea spatula set.
Yes, it’s a random grouping of things, I know. And no, they aren’t super great or expensive prizes. But this is my first blog give-away, so maybe I’ll get better at this in time, who knows. Or maybe nobody will even enter and it will be a flop. We’ll see.
So, just leave a comment and let me know you’d like to be entered into the drawing. If you advertise for me on your own blog and link back to this post (increase readership, you know!), you’ll be entered twice. On Thursday, we’ll have our high energy drawing, and I’ll contact you if you win! It couldn’t be easier. You don’t even have to be caller 10.
I love a good blog contest. I want those spatulas.
Not that I need to win any of those things (since they’re ours until you give them away), but are you giving away all *3* of those items in ONE giveaway, or are you giving away 3 separate giveaways with 1 item each?
Count me in!
Ok, Smarty pants Ryan..it’s three prizes for 3 people.
Sounds like fun – I’ve got my eye on the puzzle letters. They’re cute.
I’d love the spatulas!
ohhhhh! i love contests! how fun! thanks!
This is wonderful 🙂 I’d like to be entered 😀
OOh! Ooh!! Pick me! Pick me! Spatulas baby, let’s win me some SPATULAS!
I bet those IKEA spatulas are the same ones that I love! That store is awesome! I am an avid scrapbooker and those pink puzzle pieces are fabulous!!
Thanks!!
I never win–it’s my turn! Please!!!!! Count me in!
Going on vacation made me miss your contest … maybe next time 🙂 !!
