Win Number 110

Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus! I love being able to stock up on awesome holiday gifts through giveaways. My husband and son wanted to build these very badly. They are kind of costly and my husband went to the website a while ago to customize one and he said to purchase what he wanted to make would cost us a whole paycheck, lol. This is why I enter sweeps, so we can have awesome fun stuff and not pay the price! Also it's a ton of fun and so informative. Thanks Mommys Hangout! If it were not for you and your three girls and your awesome blog I wouldn't have to opportunity to do this one!

Santa Baby

You see this? This is what Santa needs to get this year for my son to have a merry Christmas. I hear on the DL that they will be hard to come by. I haven't seen any giveaways lately where you can win them but while browsing one of my regular spots I totally hit the jackpot! MOM Start who happens to run one of my favorite Mom blogs as you all know I am formally addicted to and she reviewed and is giving away one with a bunch of great games as well! I can't help but take advantage of whoring myself out for 5 extra entries, god knows I have done it here before and it paid off! VTech is awesome and I already own several quality products so I can only imagine what kind of awesomeness this has in store. Head on over to Mom Start and check out VTech and try not to enter too much because I need all the help I can get, kidding.

Win #108

I won a brand new divinci Crib from Hayneedle! I have purchased a davinci in the passed, my son still sleeps in his but we converted it to a day bed, they are built to last! I won this from Mama B, you'll notice I have her button on my side bar too! She was so nice and was able to help me choose a finish also! I am so excited my daughter is in a crib from wal mart that cost us about $50 bucks and I think this actually retails around $400 with shipping and therefor is the biggest prize I have ever won! So I am going to donate the crib I have to the locate shelter in our town. I am really so excited and I would love for everyone to also head over to Mama B and take advantage of her reviews and giveaways as I have. This is also I think my first raffelcopter win, so here's to them too!

Win 107

I swear I have the best luck winning candy these days. I won an instant mars Candy game and I should be getting a coupon in the mail for a free twix bar. Im stocked because now they have peanut butter and I wouldn't normally just buy myself one.

here's the link to the instant win and you get a free code by clicking "I don't have a code" which is what I did, I hope you all get free candy too!

Win Number: 106

Im a lazy mom...

no not me! that's the name of the blog I won from this morning. I won some Halloween transfers, super cute stuff, I think I might put them on my pumkins I stole from the bar that have absolute on them, just as a personal touch, since I dont drink much vodka.

This is the first raffelcopter I have won. I was angry with the switch to raffelcopter at first because it wasn't compatable with my system and it kept giving me and error messege when I was trying to enter stuff. Now I kind of love it because it cuts my entry time down tremendously.

Win Number: 105

There's very few times I win from a blog that I actually go to EVERY single day. There's actually probably only about 5 or 6 that I visit that regularly. Super Punch is one of them, if it were not for super punch I would not be able to find the most offensive and/or beautiful desktop images I rotate through on a weekly basis. I also find all my favorite toy info there. If you remember I used to be a famous toy designer and package designer for a company that conducted themselves so poorly they had to lay off some very talented individuals like myself. Screw them. Did I type that outloud?

I digress.

Super Punch gets me all the toy news I need that I don't get anymore since im now working a regular 9-5 that has nothing to do with T-1's, die cuts, paint approval, artist proofs or general toy debauchery. They also provide me lots of geeky and nerdy Internet junk, because who doesn't appreciate an update on ninja warrior once in a while, or perhaps the latest in cute baby animal videos. Not to mention some fantastic artwork that even someone who didn't spend their whole life in art school can appreciate.

well when I got on the site I noticed they were giving away a $25 credit to Threadless, which if you can't tell by my photo above is hilarious, oh yeah and they screen print hilarity on T-shirts. I managed to order myself a "Han Shot First" shirt, because Greedo is a fucking asshole and it's totally clear that Han shot first, and I am willing to wear a shirt blazon to the fact that not only am I a Star Wars nerd, as proved by my last job of writing a professional Star Wars blog and designing action figures for the Lucas license, but that I love weird Tees.

I also got my son some pretty funny shirts, but he doesn't appreciate them as much as I do. I wanted the "Beer" shirt, but they are sadly sold out. P.s- Dog fish head pumpkin ale is out today and I have a case on reserve im picking up after work, drunken texts to my friends to follow.

I was the first commenter to this post on Super Punch and reeled in the credit. Not to mention managed to somehow start a commenting flame war on the post which is almost better that the win itself.

If you know whats good for you you'll go check them out.

Win Number: 104

I was participating in a daily instant win for the movie Cars 2. I didn't win any of the instant wins but then they sent an email survey to ask how you liked the contest. i took the survey because you would be entered to win even more prizes.

Can you say "Christmas Shopping!", I got the kids each three gifts to store away for Christmas and I also got Diegos pinata for his birthday. Such a great win!

Win Number: 101

My 101st win is yet another Pear tree giveaway! Don't worry I emailed pear tree when I was entering like mad and made sure I could win more than once. This time I won from Life of Rylie. I enter a ton of her contests and she is amazing, especially because I accidentaly deleted the winning email and she was nice enough to direct messege me on twitter before I lost my prize!

Win Number:100!!!

Well it's finally here, win number 100. I started this hobby a few years ago and already I have hit a milestone.

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?!?

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.

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!

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!

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

Thank you Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports for hosting a super DVD win for me and Diego! He won not only the bob the builder DVD but also a John Deere DVD that he refuses to take out of the portable DVD player.

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.
