I'd like to say it's because I'm busy living my life. But that would be a lie.
I've become addicted to entering giveaways on blogs. I've never been one for entering sweepstakes etc, because there seems such a small chance of winning anything. But did you realize how many thousands of dollars worth of stuff is being given away on blogs every day? It's a big way for companies to get their name or message out. And when you enter a giveaway that has 120 entries and you are allowed 10 entries if you follow their blog and put their button on your blog and tweet about the contest or whatever...I'm not great at math but that works out as a better chance than some massive sweepstake for a dream home.
So far I've won a $50 gift card for maukilo toys, and bought some great gifts for the kids Christmas.
A book about fertility.
A collection of 5 novels.
A packet of wet ones. (it may be what got me started on the whole giveaway obsession!)
A coupon for free yogurt
A $50 gift certificate for to be greetings which I gave to a friend who is expecting her first baby.
A lacing toy from oompa toys
Another thing which I won't mention cause it's a christmas present for someone who reads this hehe
A kidorable butterfly umberella
A klutz how to draw clone wars book
Aliens in the attic dvd
That's all I remember for now.
It's such a buzz. I'm still hoping to win the great kindle giveaway. Fingers crossed etc.
Here's the youtube video Rebe and I made to win myself 20 extra entries. (Mr and Mrs Kinsley will like this one)
So I made a blog dedicated to giveaways that I've found around the web. Come on over some time, click on the links and see if you're lucky. They're not my own giveaways, though I am hoping to host one here soon. But they are my favorites that I've come across in my searches. Eco friendly ones, or toys or gift cards. And I try to find ones with fewer entries so I have more chance to win.
The blog is here if you fancy checking it out.
So that's where I've been lately. Sucked into the world of giveaways. It's helped towards our Christmas so Rene doesn't complain!

Oh no! You've gone over to the dark side!
Seriously. I can't believe you won all that! I've never one a SINGLE THING.
Were you blogging back in the days when Chilihead was still doing the Great Quarterly Bloggy Giveaways Carnival? There were, literally, THOUSANDS of giveaways all in one week. One year I entered over a HUNDRED and didn't win a darn thing.
I now abstain. Pretty much. My luck sucks.
Ok, well Matt started cracking up when he heard the first note of the Braveheart soundtrack. Now he's rushing to post it on his Facebook. LOL!
That is great! I love giveaways :)
I have one going on on my blog right now. And another one starts the next day. I am going to try to squeeze another one in before Christmas, too :)
