Win #231, a very special and creative win

A friend of mine turned me onto a really cool site that's still in Beta, created by a former google employee that involves art and collecting.  I signed up and it took all of five minutes for me to become addicted to NeonMob.  Basically it's a virtual card collecting club in which all the cards are created in sets and each set is created by a different artist.

Everyday you get free sets to open and you can collect and trade to obtain an entire set.  I have 4 complete sets right now and am working on more.  Each set of cards has a theme and includes chases and variants.

It's like a fancy version of pokemon crossed between Magic the Gathering with a sprinkle of art school all tied together with the magical goo of evaporated spit from mouth breathing nerds.  I love it.

So I have already won just by discovering said website.  Well you all know that when a contest email was sent out to member I had to participate.  I have a good record of winning anything that involves creativity.  Im an artist myself what do you expect?  So basically you had to write a short description for one of the cards in the latest set.  Check out the blog post from NeonMob creator here.  I won runner up and my prize is a very special and rare variant card.  Be jealous nerds, be very jealous.

So if you want to join me please do, sign up and start collecting and trade cards with me, it's fun and why not?  The best part is that it is really only about 5 minutes out of your day, it's not a site you spend hours on and there's no commenting or drama like that.  You don't necessarily interact with other members aside from the trading.  So it's fun, not time consuming and drama free.

For every friend I invite I get extra cards, im not selling you for extras either, it's really fun and I would invite you all even if there was no incentive. So what are you waiting for!

I've been busy, otherwise known as Wins #'s 66-76

It's hard to believe that I have won ten times and havn't found the time to post a single one. I have to admit I do feel some winners guilt because I know I can't spend all day dedicating ten individual posts so I will have to list them here with respected links and hope the sweepsstakes gods smile upon me. Either that or I might have to sacrafice a goat, which reminds me I miss Rome a whole lot, god bless HBO and it's amazing production quality. I digress...

Without further ado these are the wins I had yet to document:

#66-Crayola Prize Pack Giveaway (I let my son keep some and donated some to a school supply drive)
#67-Bon Ton Gift Card (the sponsor gave me this in paypal which I thought was amazing)

The lucky winner

Win Number: 41

Thank you so much to Mommy's Quiet Time Blog for doing a super review of Electra's Monograms and for giving me the opportunity to win my very own cool vynal wall decal! I chose the circle letter monogram for Diego's room. I got the letter "D" for him, we want to put it on his wall right as you walk in his door, there is a little section of wall with nothing on it and it would look great there! i also really liked her check book covers and car window decals too! Thanks again to Mommy's Quiet Time, I sure could use some myself!

Win Number: 40

I finally hit win number 40! If you read enough Mom blogs and review blogs you'll win this much too I guess! One of the more review oriented blogs, it actually looks more like a great website, is My Mom's View. I have probably enter a hundred of her giveaways and I finally scored a win, yippie! It's a great one too! I won a $50 gift card to Eco Bebe Boutique and I have tons of stuff to choose from. I am deciding between the beetle baby chair, the food grinder, and some awesome stainless steel bottles, I might have to go over the gift card limit!

So if your wondering what the Canadian Moms are talking about shoot on over to My Moms View and check it out. She just did a review on "my feet Squeak" shoes and I totally all about those, so awesome!

Update: I ended up speding my gift card on the food grinder, and the stainless steel bottle. I am all about the stainless steel bottle. It has come in so handy and everyone asks me where I got it from! Diego loves water so that is his "water bottle" since the nipples that I use for his milk are to fast of a flow for water. I am super happy with everything I got and in the company!

UpTake Spring Photo Contest

Uptake travel blog is doing their 2009 Spring Photo contest. I happen to have a great photo, I have a few but this is my favorite! We have tons of mushrooms in our yard and they are always covered with tiny bugs you don't even see until you look at the close up pictures. It reminds me of a few things that inspire me to travel the world. The light coming threw the translucent parts of the mushroom remind me of a womb, and birth and new life, which reminds me of the travelers of past discovering new worlds. So heres to Spring, I can't wait!
