August Giveaways!

There are two possible giveaways this month!

1) Sign up for Ebates using this link and make a purchase by August 15th. Ebates is a great program. If you do a lot of online shopping, I highly recommend it - you'll get cash back on things you purchase anyway. We used it when we got our LCD TV, and for a few other shopping things, and we've received $54 back so far. If you do this, please email me so I can make sure you get entered.

2) Promote this blog. You will get one entry for every person you tell by email, and one entry for every place you post a link back to this blog (please do not spam blogs/boards/forums - post it only in appropriate places). If you email the link out, please copy me on the emails so that I can see the list and use it to make my tally. If you post the link, please send me a link to the page where you post it. Feel free to post it anywhere you like!

There will be three winners. One will be randomly drawn from everyone who completes giveaway #1. One will be randomly drawn from the entries received from giveaway #2 (remember, the more people you tell and places you post, the more entries you get). One will be the person who received the most entries from giveaway #2. If you have a blog, you can also get entries by showing me your feed subscription list (if you don't have a subscription-based feed, that's fine). Email addresses will not be stored in any way - after I count the number, I will delete the email.

If you have questions, feel free to email me!

Possible prizes: Housewares pack that contains a variety of coupons and samples related to house and cleaning; a Kid-Friendly pack with small toys (Happy-Meal type), stuffed animals, coloring books and other child entertainment items; or a Pamper Me pack that contains bath fizzies and other personal care items. Winners will get to choose their prizes.

Remember, giveaway #1 must be completed by August 15th. Giveaway #2 must be completed by August 31st.
