To Enter Giveaways...or not!

Even though I do giveaways on my blog, I still enter A LOT of other blogs giveaways. I figure it only takes me a few minutes, and I have a chance...sometimes it's a small chance, but still I have the chance. I just entered a giveaway that I was somewhere around the 2,900th commenter. What are the chances on that one? Slim to none, eh!? Who cares, I really want that stroller!

So, this is the post to say thank you to all those coolio blogs that I have won giveaways off of! AND to inspire some of you to start commenting!

This is a Go-Go Pet, and I won if for Van off of Child.hood. Van is in love with this lil thing. Jasmine (her name today) came with a ball, and actually goes all over the place making noise. Since we don't have pets...this is the next best thing, right?

I was lucky enough to win a $50 gift card to this place...
from Sassy Scoops. This place has some uh-mazing stuff from all over the world, and I can't wait to purchase something unique for my house.

This sAweet hooded towel was won off of Cavanagh's! The hood is super thick, and it is a HUGE towel which makes it very nice for after bath time...or even for the splash pad. =) I can't wait to purchase a couple more for baby #2!!

I won a $100 gift card from Extraordinary Mommy to this place...
Let me also not forget winning a Target gift card and a bundle of children's books from Grandma Lizzie's House!!

AND my new favorite baby item, a Kokopax carrier that I won...


from Sweet Life in the Valley's Retreat...which is an event I still need to blog about! ;)

Did I inspire you to enter more giveaways? I know that every time I win something, I always want to go and enter more!

I used to enter every giveaway I saw but stopped when they started using twitter as a way to get extra entries :). I know that's lame... but I just have not figured out twitter yet!! What is my one entry compared with the extra 10 the smart twitter people get?? ;) Also, I never win... but I've won here so i'm getting the urge to start trying the giveaways again! Especially after seeing all the freakin awesome stuff you've won...

I have never entered a giveaway, but I for sure will now. I'm jealous that you've won so much! Do you remember meeting me at Moms who make it conference (I'm the one with REALLY short barely-coming-in-cause-I-had-to-shave-it-cause-of-cancer hair. Anyway, I'm wondering if you would do me a favor - would you take a second and look at a new blog I just started? www.reallyincrediblewomen.blogspot.com

It just launched today, and I'm really interested to see what people think. If you like what you see, please let people know - I've got a button on the sidebar if you'd like it.
Oh, and I'd really like to feature you on the blog sometime in November. What do you think? Let me know: kara.incrediblewomen at gmail dot com.

Thanks,
Kara
