Win A Pair Of Diamond CZ Earrings

Attention jewelry lovers. I found a neat little giveaway at J. Leigh Designz. She’s holding a giveaway for a company called Fantasy Jewelry Box and the winner will be getting a nice little set of 1.5 inch Silver Diamond CZ Hoop Earrings. Now, that being said, I have to admit that I’m not a huge fan of diamonds. Personally, I’d rather have something with a sapphire in it, but I’m a big fan of free.

However, these little earrings are way cute. I like the way the they’re held in place, and it’s obvious that they are well made. In fact, everything I looked at over at Fantasy Jewelry Box looked like high quality stuff. What’s more, they’re prices are fantastic. They coin themselves as a place to get “affordable jewelry for expensive taste”. Most places that say things like that either offer seriously flawed jewelry for cheap prices, or their idea of affordable is still way out of my budget. From what I can tell, this place lives up to its claims.

One thing I did notice about the website is that they have an entire section for items on sale. Those are two of my favorite words, so I had to check it out. I was impressed to see that they offer reasonable prices for such beautiful jewelry. I found a couple pieces that I might have to get for myself, and I’m not a big jewelry wearing type person.

If you love jewelry, and would like a chance to win this cute pair of Diamond CZ earrings, run over to J. Leigh Designz and get in on the giveaway before it’s too late. This contest runs through Feb. 15th and there are several ways to earn entries into the drawing. But you’d better hurry. From the looks of things, everyone’s looking to get their hands on these little beauties.

Simply Signs Giveaway

I’m a sucker for handmade items. Being a quilter myself, I know the love and heartache that goes into each and every piece that a crafter puts together. We lovingly assemble all the parts to create something that nobody has ever seen before, then we send these little items off to other family members or sell them online and feel the heartache of hoping that whoever ends up with that piece, loves it as much as we do.

When I saw this giveaway, I knew I had to write a post about it. Wife, mother, and pit-bull rescuer JessyKayne has created an entire line of wall signs and wreaths, complete with awesome little sayings. The moment I saw this giveaway posted at Audrey’s Give Aways, I was hooked. In fact, the sign pictured on this page is my ultimate favorite as it fits me too a Tee.  Actually, the sign isn’t being given away, but JessyKayne is giving a $20 gift certificate to be used in her shop.  If you work it right, you could get a couple of her signs, as they’re set at very reasonable prices.

If you’d like to get in on this giveaway, run over to Audrey’s site and get yourself signed up. Make sure to read the rules carefully, as there are several ways to get entries into this giveaway. Also, check out JessyKaynes shop at Etsy.com and help her out. All proceeds from her site right now are going toward a much-needed surgery for the pit-bull puppy she and her hubby rescued.

Freebies And Giveaways

I finally have a line of focus for this site. Most people would take a personalized blog like this and make it their own, but I’ve just never been able to do that. However, I’ve found a whole new world on the Internet that I’m having a blast with. Well, that isn’t exactly true. I’ve dabbled in this strange little world before, but never on this site or with this much enthusiasm. No, I’m not talking about the occult. I’m talking about the wonderful world of the Blog Giveaways.

When I first really got started with blogging, I had a serious blog contest habit. I had a ball until I won a contest and never received my prize. I was pissed, to say the least. And it pretty much turned me off of blogging contests. But, the giveaways and contests I’ve been looking at for the past couple of weeks are a little different. These are put on by a circle of women (and a few men, I’m sure) who all have one major thing in common; they’re all Blogger Mommies!!!!!! Best of all, I are one too. LOLOLOLOL

Anyway, after really going through a few of these blogs, I’ve decided that this little site is the best place for me to start posting about some of the cool giveaways out there. And, because this blog is hooked up to my Facebook account, I’ll be able to pass them along to my minions, er, friends. LOL

I’m fortunate that I have the ability to stay home and do this kind of thing. Of course, I’m able to stay home because of my writing business, oh and that guy that lives here and pays all the bills. (I love you, honey ) But I still understand the meaning of saving money anywhere and everywhere I can, and if I can get in on some freebies in the process, right on. And being a mom, I have no problem passing this information on to my fellow mommies, and daddies.

So, if you happen to notice that this site goes from not having more than 2 posts a month, to having 3 or 4 a day, you’ll know why. If I come across something really cool, I’ll be more than happy to let everyone else know as well. Come on along, let’s see how much stuff we can all get, and how much of it we can get for free.

FREEBIES RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

American Pickers

I have a new favorite television show ever. A new series started on the History Channel tonight, called American Pickers. After watching the debut episode, I have a new lease on life. I now want to be one of these people. Of course, I’m gonna need a lot more money, but guess I’ll just start out slow. For those didn’t watch the show, allow me to explain.

American Pickers is about a couple of guys who travel around the country looking for old, antiques that most of us would see as just junk. They seek out old signs, bicycles, old bottles and cans, and a lot more. They love the rusted stuff, the stuff people around my area usually call crap. Living in Western Nebraska my whole life, I’ve seen this kind of stuff all around me for years.

I’ve always been a picker and just didn’t know it. The difference is that I don’t move on to sell what I get for a profit. I keep it and end up with a house full of crap that my hubby thinks is worthless. I, on the other hand, see a house full of past lives that still have something to give.

To the boys of American Pickers, Frank and Mike. If you’re ever in Western Nebraska, look me up. I’ve got crap that will blow your mind. And, I know a lot of farmers in this part of the country who have tons of rusted items just strewn about their properties. I’ve made up my mind that when I grow up, I wanna be an American Picker.
