Another Holiday Contest

Okay, I'm going to be brutally honest here. I came this close /\ to not posting about this contest. Why? Because then you'll all go enter & I may not win!!! Seriously.

However, it's too good not to share so I figured I had to just bite the bullet & post about it. Besides - that gives me an extra entry. ;-)

Five Minutes for Mom is hosting another holiday contest. The prize?? Well, obviously it's amazing or I wouldn't be blogging about it. Do you really want to know? Are you sure? Okay, already! It's a $500 gift card to Home Depot and yes, that is the correct number of zeros.

Why do I keep sharing about all these neat contests? Well, here's the truth. I have won - three times now. Pretty cool huh?

My first prize was my amazing blog makeover. I posted about that here and here. Then I had entered a ton of giveways during the Great Bloggy Giveaway. There were literally thousands of things that were given away. I entered a few dozen. I thought I hadn't won anything. But then...a few weeks later I received an e-mail -which I almost deleted thinking it was spam. Phew! I won a Star Wars Clone Wars digital camera. That made me VERY happy and will be making son #2 even happier when he has a birthday this coming April. ;-) And the newest prize? A Nerf Vulcan automatic toy dart gun. That arrived in the mail this week. I seriously had to about tear it from my hubby's hands in order to put it away for one of the boys - after I wiped off the drool. We decided that our oldest will have that under the tree this Christmas. We may have to invest in some more for the other kids & hubby, but not yet.

So, it is possible to win. It's easy to enter. And, Chip, yes, I know if I was using Twitter I could enter again. You'll be one up on me - again. LOL

  1. I agree. It's hard to post about contests because even though I want happiness and goodies for everyone, I want them FIRST ;)

  4. Well, using twitter may give me a one up but I'm not as persistent at entering these contests - more like pessimistic. Why pessimism? I have won only two things in my lifetime - one was a pair of snow shoes from a local clothing store (Griffins) in High School and thee years ago I did win the Father's day grand prize ($400 value) of a stainless steel grill. Keep entering

Oh thank goodness! I'm not here all alone. Thanks for leaving me a comment. It helps that I'm not always talking to myself. Right? Hello?
