Someone special is going to be getting this awesome win! BeTweenTalk is an awesome teen website and held a contest where I got to win this for a special little girl in my life :)

It's a limited addition and isworth a pretty penny believe it or not, I should make her leave it in the box until she's 20 years old.

Win Number 93!

Win #92

Pammie in Pajammies is one of my newest and most favorite blogs! She hosted a pear tree giveaway, I have won from pear tree before and it's got to be the best paper companies out there.

Thank you to Sage and Savy blog for hosting a fireman Sam DVD giveaway! I have won from their site before and this DVD came super quick and was a great addition to my sons collection!

Win #90!

I won a sweet baby bullet from the blog Sure Baby. First things first, the writter of sure baby was amazing, she was sweet and followed up with me and even contacted the sponsor after it took a while for my prize to arrive. I definatly win continue to patron her! Secondly let me say the baby bullet is awesome. I tried it out just to test since my baby girl wont be eating solids for a few more months, its great, works awesome and really delivers. It comes with so much, and the instructional manual is adorable, from a graphic designers prespective anyway. I highly recommend both the blog and the baby bullet.

Win Number: 89

Amanda Acuna is an awesome blogger, I have been Reading her for a long, long time! I have won from her twice now as far as her giveaways goes, if I read her post on the reg I might as well enter the contests too right?!? Well I happen to score the blue ray extended edition Avatar box set and I am stoked. We got a blue ray for Christmas but don't actually own any blue ray, what a great one to start out with right?!? Thanks so much to Amanda and I highly recommend visiting her site: Mommy Mandy, shes got tons of great posts!

Win Number: 88

Guess who won a years supply of Cheerios. That's right, this guy! I can't wait, im so excited, cereal is so expensive that I rarely even buy it, and coupons are usually only usable if you buy three boxes, so not worth it, we have a hard time eating one big box. What an awesome instant win this is, I played the game everyday for like a month and a half before I won, lol, now I just need to win the years supply of milk that's going on, and oh yes I will be trying!

Win Number:87

CSN might just be the greatest web-site in the world, mostly because it has everything and because in the Mom blog community the give away a ridiculous amount of promotional material. This is the second time I have won a CSN store code and I have great experiences with them. The hard part is picking something out because they honestly have everything. I won this time from California Monkey Mom and just like last time this was a great win and I just have to say I love CSN! We got a rice pot that was on clearance and it came super fast this time.

Win Number: 86

Mellisa at Fun Saving Money not only hosts a slew, and I mean a slew on contests and giveaways, she also posts yummy recipes and money saving tips/coupons. She hosted a ton of kids dvd reviews and giveaways lately and i took advantage of being able to enter these and win an awesome bob the builder: The golden hammer DVD for Diego. He watches these in the car and he loves bob, and Wendy too! Thanks Mellisa for your hard work and for bringing all the awesome giveaways to your site!

Win Number: 85

I won three months worth of toaster struddles! They sent my coupons really fast and i stocked up on three boxes of the fruit flavors and then one box of the scramblers for my husband! I ate them every morning on my way to work for a while, i hadn't had a toaster struddle since high school so it was a major throw back. The only complain I had was that one of the boxes didn't come with icing, I saved the box so I could email the company but then the cleaning people at work threw it away so i didn't have any of the information on the box to reference the "run" or "batch" that didn't have icing. It was awesome to get to try these again after so long, when Diego is a little bigger maybe I will let him eat these in the AM, for right now he needs a more nutritious breakfast though.

Win Number: 84

Thanks Angela over at Hot Mom Tips for the great review of Pear tree and the awesome 30 dollar gift code, now I can get Diego's thank you cards for his birthday party, and maybe some labels for the envelopes as well! I was eyeing these since the promotions started during October, I love pear tree and cant wait to get started!

Win Number: 83

I won a betty Crocker instant win, I know right, another one! I won a box of cake mix and a bag of cookie mix. Unfortunatly it has to be through safeway and I dont shop there anymore so i passed them onto a friend, but giving is nice too!

Win Number: 82

I hope to make this the newest addition to my win list!

Dirty Diaper Laundry is a blog I already belonged to, I follow them and subscribe by email. They do a great deal of reviewing and giving away of prizes, I rarely enter them now that I think about it... Well with baby number two on the way and only a few months looming over my head here I can't pass up on blogging about the giveaway to gain a few extra entries, after all i did win that awesome play yard this month!

So you can go here to view the giveaway, but please don't enter too many times, because you'll totally ruin my chances, muwahahahah!

Big Number 80!

I need to send out a huge thank you to Sugar pop Ribbons this morning! Since I became preggo again I have been spending a lot more sweeping time to the baby and maternity giveaways, well... because that's the stuff I really need to win right now. I spent a whole lunch break entering all of the maternity giveaway event stuff! Especially the play yard and britax car seat ones, you'll find all these awesome buttons on my sidebar right over there ----->

I couldn't be moer excited when I opened my email this morning and had a brand new play yard email waiting for me! This may be the biggest prize i have ever won, retailing at $180. It's very useful for us and I am very grateful to the sponsor and the Sugar Pop Ribbons!

Win number: 79

Just won my second instant prize ever! Im really feeling the luck/love this week! I won a $50 shell gift vard, one of the hourly prizes, im so excited, what a great way to start the morning. Thanks to car and Driver for hosting the giveaway!

Win Number 78 (First Instant Win)

I won my first instant win ever! I never thaught I would see this day, I enter them daily, because it's pretty simple to put in an email adress and spin a wheel, but I have come up short for a long time. A $2 stuffed animal isn't the greatest prize, but maybe it's the start to a larger trend of instant wins!

Lucky Number 77!

I won a peiacare giveaway! I will be recieving a pediacare product to stock up in my medicine cabnit for when Diego gets sick this winter, hopefully he doesn't but it helps to have good products waiting in the wings! I won this from Mommy's Free Time blog, so thanks a ton to Emmi who writes Mommy's free time and thank you to the sponsor as well!

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)
#68-Ziggy and Friends Print
#69-Five Wood accessories Wooden cuff bracelet
#70-Recipe Box
#71-Everly Grey $200.00 maternity shopping spree (best prize evar!)
#72-Nacho mamas T Shirt
#73-Mommy Maestra Bilingual Flash Cards
#74-CSN Gift Card (Spent on Christmas presents)
#75- Johnsons and Johnsons Naturals Prize pack(saving for the new baby)
#76 Yo Gabba Gabba Prize Pack (saving that for Diego's stocking)

Andies Ink is a real Hoot!

It's been a long time since I hosted a giveaway, it's also been a long time since I posted. It's fair to say that I had my share of ordeals these past three months. I don't want to get into that on this blog because it's supposed to be light hearted though. In my dreary days of past one thing did bring a smile to my face, that thing was Andie sending a care package of hooterific goodies to us for a giveaway. I sat on these giveaway goodies for way too long, so now is the time I will be sharing!

Andies Ink is a cutie pie of an Etsy store. she specializes in scrap-booking type paper goodies and some very special and unique decorative hangables. I have the pleasure of sharing with you one of each type of goodie with an owl theme!

Before we get to the giveaway I wanted to share some more things I love from Andies store.

This is a close up of one of my favorites! Meet this cute Panda wall hanger, it says "Dream Big" on it but I think the panda it self is so perfect that all you need to see to fall in love is his cute little face! I love the rustic polka dots too!

Andie is a graphic designer like myself and she has a great eye for laying out some really interesting cards.I love handmade cards and I always get tons of compliments on these as well! I love this one for any occasion, just to say hello (picture me smiling and waving through the windows at your front door as you try to pretend you're not home).

Now say Hello to my favorite card, im giving it till the end of the contest before I buy this one up for myself! Im getting a cup cake tattoo on one of my sleeve very soon so I found this card to be near and dear to me. I also love the stitching! All of her cards run for $2.50 and that's a steal compared to what you pay for a generic card at Hal-mark these days.

So now for the goods, I was preparing for a themed Owl giveaway however too many contributors backed out at the last minute, hence my long and loving post for Andie for hanging in there so long. I was about to just cut her a check for her trouble and from me making her wait so long to get this under way! So up for grabies we have two hooty items from Andies store...

This is a lovely little shadow box that contains a cute paper owl with some fantastic detail, the photo does not do it justice because the inside of the box is modge podged with some lovely clippings and the outside is as well. it has a hanger on the back and would make a lovely addition to any room. I would have hung it in my sons room, he has tons of wall space and loves to check out all the pictures i have hung up for him from time to time.

Also included in this prize is one of Andies amazing cards. What strikes me most about her cards is that the quality of paper is so high! It's almost like felt, the paper is so soft and textured! Anyone would be thrilled to receive it in the mail, trust me!

Where to Buy

hit up Andies Ink and browse around, she has a nice little selection of goods for you to choose from! Some more owls as well as some fawns and butterflys.

How to win

One entry per person. All you have to do is go to Andies Ink and comment on your favorite item. Please leave contact info so that we can contact the winner. The contest is running from May 15th until May 30th at 12 pm eastern pacific time.

more to come soon as I pick up the pieces!

WinNumber: 65

A big thanks to Gathering my roses and rockstar accessories for the awesome badge holder that i needed so desperately with my new job, the first one I have had where i need a badge!

Update: This badge holder broke three times before I got sad and just tossed it. It was really disappointing because I was so anxious to get it and so excited to have something to stand me apart form my co-workes, but it was just not working with me, I wasn't rough with it at all, it actually broke the first time I ever wore it. :(

Win Number: 64

Thank you so much Funky Monkey for the awesome copy of Motherhood, staring Uma Thermon!!!

Win Number: 63

Win Number: 62

A big giant thanks to A Giveaway addicted Mommy, which is a strange name for a blog, they should just call it the Jennifer blog because I am exactly that: A Giveaway Addicted Mommy! So I found a blog made just for me, lol! I won possibly the best prize ever, a $50 gift card to safeway from fiber one, Love their key lime pie. Husband wants me to get steaks, I want to stock pile on some diapers, we'll see who wins this one. So everyone head over to Kari's site and read up on her reviews and enter a few contests, I am moving her up into the daily status so that I can make sure to enter all her giveaways, why you ask? Because im an addict that's why! Is there a sweepstakes anonymous meeting somewhere near by?

Update: It took a long time to recieve but what a blessing a gift card to the grocery store is!

Win Number: 61 (First March Win!)

We have our first win of March! I feel like I was reading so many blogs and entering so many contests that it should have happened sooner, but...
I am really happy to say that the first win of March came from one awesome blogger, Mahaylas Mommy is a blog where I like to read about personal stories, awesome baby sales, and cool reviews of course.
Diego and I won a pillow pet, we picked the moose for him and I already know he loves them so it will be a nice addition to our toy family. Sarah over at Mahaylas Mommy is giving away another one this week, so head on over and enter, I don't think I can enter again so feel free to go for all the extra entries I normally say not to so that I can win. Also read some of her posts because she's a really nice and sensitive person with good things to say.

Win Number: SIX ZERO!!!!

Some times I enter contests because I think I would like the prize, and sometimes I enter them because I freakin love the prize and must have it. This was one of those cases. I rented Whip It and I feel in love, I kind of wish I would have seen it in the theaters. it was cute,and inspirational, well written and had a great cast.

There are tons of these floating around and I entered my share but i found out today I won! I won from Rockin' Mama who just happens to be an an awesome bloggin' mama that I have won from in the past. I totally dig her blog, her look, style, and writing. I couldn't be happier to win from her again!

I already saw the movie so I probably won't write an update, but maybe I will let you know if I loved as much the second time around.

Win Number: 59

Two wins in one week, I am back on my roll people! I am also almost to win number 60. I do read Minnesota Mama's blog very frequently, she holds tons of reviews and contests on a pretty regular basis. She recently held a contest for your choice of some Sandra Magsamen items and I won! I am choosing two of these frames because they are super cute and because you can never have too many picture frames. Go check out her blog and enter some of her giveaways, like I said she is hosting tons!

Update: I received these in like three days, never got anything that fast! I love the frames but the wire that goes into the ceramic part of the frame comes right out and had to be glued.

Win Number: 58

Traveling with MJ and Planeteye Travler hosted a contest in which they were giving away one of the popular petcentric Rachael Ray gift bags. There is no picture of the gift bag and I have no idea what is all included but I won it and will definatly update you on what I got when I get it! Im excited, it's almost like a surprise win.

In the mean time you can check out their sites above!

Win Number: 57

In case you hadn't noticed macy's is having a huge campaign for the American Heart Association. The Go red campaign is all over the internet and all over all my favorite blogs. I entered each one I saw and pledged to wear red, why wouldn't you, macy's will even give you extra off your purchase just for wearing red.

The Mom Reviews hosted one of these awesome giveaways, among many others that I wish I could win, I enter all of her giveaways! I was the lucky winner of the Macy's card, $25 whole bucks to spend on whatever I want! I said I wanted new Martha Plates and that might just be what I get too!

head on over and check out The Mom Reviews, if anything there's a ton of awesome reviews and giveaway opportunities in it for you.

Update: I did receive my Gift card and I will be using it this weekend to purchase a new black shrug to war over a party dress for Saturday!

Win Number: 56 (First Win of February!)

Ahhhhh, I can finally relax, I was totally having win withdraw. I have been doing an extra amount of blog reading and contest entering, one because the football season is over so I am freed up a tiny bit at work, and two because so many more review blogs and Mom blogs exist for me to peruse. I was hitting up "A day in the Life" for her coupon deals and money saving tips. I entered to win a $25 Star Bucks gift card a while back. The best part is the comment was about getting debt free this year, I have to work harder, I am losing site already...

Well anyway, getting this gift card means I will be able to treat myself because part of my plan is not spending an money on things we don't need, and while the coffee here at work is a far cry from the ginger bread latte it is free.

Thank you to Christina for all her coupons and money saving tips and also for the coffee, the $25 will get me about a months worth of coffee treats im sure! go check her out here!

Update: I got my gift card in the mail, I can't wait to splurge on my coffee addiction. A slew of vanilla lattes is in my near future.

Win Number: 55

Win Number 55 comes from the Mom blog Three Different Directions. Thanks to Tammy and her blog for hosting a cool Wii game giveaway. This is the first game i have ever won, but I just got Wii this year for Christmas. I can't wait to get it and play and see if i love it as much as Tammy and her girlfriends did. Check them out of at 3DD and check out my cool new game for Wii!

Update: We got our game and it's loads of fun! Only I feel bad because the sqeeballs are cute and you have to creatively kill them, LOL.

Win Number: 54

Number 54 comes to you from Rockin Mama! She held a slew of holiday giveaways... I entered this one for the hubby since he has the iphone. I won an iphone package that comes with a jam jacket for playing games to the highest level of dorkness and a cool slim shell cover! I hope I get to choose the graphic because otherwise I probably will have to give it to someone else because of the level of girliness. Thanks to Rockin mama and all her sponsors, she will be added to the wall of win so go check her out soon!

Win Number: 53

OMG, it totally worked! I blogged about something I wanted to win, to obtain the extra entries and I totally won it. I worked so hard doing everything possible to get the biggest chance at winning and I did! I am actually really proud of myself. I know since I have won from blessing abound before that I will love my prize and get more than I expected. What a great blog to win from! We picked Diego this Jacket for next winter, I love it!

Update: We got Diego's coat, this is for next year, im happy about not having to buy one! It's awesome quality and has down so I know it's really warm.

Win Number: 52

Thanks to My Wee View for holding some great childrens gifts idea reviews over the holidays. I entered to win an Elmo kinex set and won! I love this for my son, who loves blocks but just doesn't understand them yet. He is the most into cars and trucks right now so this might peak his interest in blocks because it has wheels. I will let you know how much he loves it when it comes, I did see these in the store and they really look like a cute gift idea, maybe if its awesome we can give some away at his birthday party!

Update: I got Diego's Elmo car, I had a hard time putting it together, although it's like five pieces, lol. My mom stepped in and assembled it in like five seconds, Diego loves it of course. Kinex also sent me another huge gift set as an extra, it was for 7+ so I gave it to my neighbors five boys to build. It was a great win!

Ok... So I am starting to do this more now.

It's only because it's stuff I actually want to win, or else i wouldn't go to the trouble right? right?

Ok so hold onto your hat then, Blessings Abound is giving away a fantastic children coat of the winners choice from Rothschild. i have won from Blessing before and my prize came fast and was even bigger than i hoped for so i am all about winning from her again... Plus she is super cute, check out her ear bud review, it's adorable! So go an check it out, but don't enter too many times, because I want to win!

Update: OMG I so won!

Win Number: 51

Finally! I was beginning to think my luck had run out... So we crossed the 50 win mark as well as got our first win of December! It is a pretty great win too. Mommies with cents is a great blog, I go there pretty frequently, they have enormous amounts of coupons to offer, it's probably the best feature of the site. She does a ton of reviews too, mostly for household items. I was the winner drawn to receive the Hana professional flat iron. I have stupid curly hair that I have been trying to wear straight my whole life, so it's a win that will no doubt go to good use. I can't wait to receive it and try it out, my flat iron now is the same one I used in the early 90's, so you can only imagine how bad it preforms as well as how awesome it's florescent green and pink colors are.

Update: Got my flat iron so fast, and with tons of additional extras. I love it and it works great! I definatly recommend it and the blog I won from as well!

Win Number: 50!

Today was my 50th win! I can't believe that I have 50 wins under my belt. It's just a hobby but everytime I win something it's just so much fun! I still enjoy the reading of the reviews and learning about new products and stuff, it my relaxing thing I do.

So Without Further Ado!

Win Number 50 is from The Fabulous Won. I have won one of her holiday gift recommendations, lots of blogs do this, they choose lots of sponsors to be on a holiday list of items. I took home 100 custom photo prints from Less Ordinary Designs. She has a respectably giant Etsy store. I am envious of people who can really succeed on Etsy. Tons of prints to choose from and lots in the Holiday section. Jaime and I are going to choose this one and we will take some photos this weekend for it. I can not begin to tell you how happy I am to not have to print or design these this year, I havn't the time anyways. I will post the design when I get it and tell you all how it turns out once they come to me!

Update: They turned out fantastic, they are super high quality and I sent them all out this morning!!! here's a preview!

Win Number: 49

Wow, I am really close to 50 wins here! You know... Giveaway today is officially my favorite giveaway site. I do go every single morning without fail, and so far I have won three times. The funniest part is out of all the contest I enter, this one has the most other people entering, everytime I win I am one in about 2000 people. Just luck of the draw I guess, but regardless I still think that it's the end all be all of giveaway sites. So I guess I have to thank them for a third time and just say if you really do want to win something, maybe try entering a few of their contests, some days they even do more than one!

So I won a pre-made card design from Nanny Sue! Here's what she's all about:

Enjoy the ease and convenience of having an announcement, card or invitation made just for you! Natty Sue makes the process fast, convenient, and very inexpensive. Take a look at her designs and choose one you like. All you need is a great photo(s) and a few words and Natty Sue will design the rest. After approval of the design you take image and print it off at a local printer of your choice. If you don't see anything that catches your eye, she can do custom jobs too-all you have to do is ask!

Thanks again Giveaway today for another great giveaway!

Win Number: 48

One of my favorite things to win are cleaning products. I loath heading to the grocery store planning on spending a certain amount of money and going way over because I forgot I need expensive cleaners like laundry soap, dish soap and fabric softeners.

Thanks to the unpaint blog (a cute mommy blog I love) for hosting a giveaway and for scoring me 3 (three) bottles of the awesome new Dawn Hand renewal. I am sure if you're a chick you have seen and paid attention to these commercials. I can't wait to have soft hands from washing my dishes!

So thanks to Dawn and to Laura over at unpaint.

Update: I got my three bottles and while I haven't cracked the first one open because im not out of my current soap yet I am super excited, it's a really pretty color!

Win number: 47

Thanks to Tricia's Dish another great blog about cooking and reviews and such for hosting a slew of giveaways. One which I was very lucky to have won. I will be receiving this stunning necklace from The Pretty peacock, a wonderful and custom jewelery store. I am going to get Jaime and Diego's birth stones put inside. I love this one, it's nice to win something good for myself, it's been a while!

Thanks a million!

Update: I got my necklace yesterday, it is more than I could have hoped for, I am never taking this one off!!! it is beautiful and I love that it's personalized.

Rejected

Well, I got an email from the representative for the photo contest I entered and it would seem that I have been disqualified. Apparently I did not completely follow the rules of the contest. So despite the fact that I received all of the participant emails, was congratulated for entering and encouraged to promote my photo and even had my photo uploaded by said website personnel, I am now officially out if the running. I have to wonder if the fact that I was seriously kicking everyones butts had something to do with it, I am guessing that the other participants got jealous and made some angry emails.

Apperently I am getting a fabulous consolation prize, but that doesn't change the fact that I can't win the big prize that I was obviously shoeing in for. If it was there mistake by overlooking a broken rule this entire time, than why wouldn't they let me continue participating. I am very angry at the amount of web traffic I provided by directing my friends and family members to. How angry should I be though? I mean if I didn't follow the rules than that's one thing, but it would have been nice to have known in time to present and appropriate photo right?

SIGH...

You can help me win Cash Money!

I am entered in a small photo contest, only about 10 other people participating. The prize is pretty big and I would love to win, please vote for me here, please give my photo five stars if you want to help out and vote. Also if you want my awesome recipe for my cranberry sauce let me know!

Win Number: 46

I won again on giveaway today! How lucky is that! It was out of over 2000 people too! Thing is, I was asked to enter for my friend, and she totally wanted this prize really bad, so I feel extra lucky that I won something for her. I hope she enjoys it, it is a fat jelly roll of quilt fabric and I bet she makes something awesome with it too!

Update: My friend got this fabric and said it is wonderful! I was so happy to pass on this win to her!
