Piano for Preschoolers Winner!

Hello everybodeeeeee! You miss me? Honestly, I miss me. My brain has taken what seems to be a permanent vacation. But that doesn't change the fact that we have a winner for my Piano for Preschoolers giveaway! Oh, no siree! So, using my little random widget (which is pink and I need to change) it selected #98. And that was........

kateandlucy who said... 98

I learned that the songs are all based on the previous songs. I think this would help keep a preschooler interested.

Sunday, April 26, 2009 7:25:00 PM

Congrats! Oh, and later today I will have not one but TWO new giveaways so keep your eye out for that!

Oh, and one more thing. If you were at all interested in the Piano for Preschoolers program I would suggest you buy it! For less than one month's worth of piano lessons you can get the complete program. You know you want it!!!

$30 Cash winner!

Thank you so much to everyone who voted for my friend, Emily. Unfortunately she didn't win but we got her almost 600 votes! The winner had almost 4,000 which means that they had almost 200 people who voted for them every day. Seems pretty far fetched to me, but maybe they really have that many friends. Or maybe they found a way to cheat! Oh, well. Popularity votes are always kind of hard and make me feel like I'm back in High School running for student body Sec/Treas. I won, but not by much.

Anyway, on to business, using my little random box #66 was the winning comment:

You can find her blog HERE! What a cute little family and their little girl is adorable! Congrats Amy!

If you didn't win this time no worries! I have a fun Piano for Preschoolers giveaway going on now and lots of great ones planned.

Oh, and if all goes well I will need all of you to help me get votes if I'm in the top 10 for the Mom Logic contest. Once again popular vote......sigh. But here's to dreaming!

Magnaplay Winner and new Giveaway tomorrow!

She had a TON of extra entries, guess that must help! Her initial entry was this:

Emily said... 11

I rarely have time to listen to the radio lately, and you won't like my suggestion because it is country, but I'm telling you anyway. We graduated with the main singer in this band. The song is called "I get that all the time" by Due West. The song plays on their website at www.duewest.com. It has a good message. You should listen to it!
Emily

Tuesday, April 14, 2009 8:35:00 AM

Obviously she knows me pretty well!

I loved having all of the music suggestions. If you ever find a good song let me know!

And stay tuned for a new giveaway tomorrow. My hint is: never too young for music!

Clutch winner!

I am back from our trip. We spent Easter at my parents house and all of my siblings and their kids came. It's always a little crazy but it was fun, too! I have so much to do this week, it is going to be crazy. But I'll try to post more than I did last week. I hope you all had a fabulous Easter!

My first item of business is to announce the winner of the clutch from ChicBlvd. I used my handy little widget which randomly chose #36....

divaqueenie who said... 36

my greatest joy in being a mother has come from being involved in every aspect of my sons'growth and development. Every stage is wonderful, and you don't think it will ever be this good again.....but....a year later you think THIS is the best part of having children....this existensal happiness just keeps growing larger and happier!

Monday, April 06, 2009 9:15:00 PM

Congrats! Don't forget to enter my $30 giveaway and stay tuned for another giveaway later today!

Who gets to be Chic like me? (enter maniacal laughing)

Hey, did you guys notice the cool new widget I have? No?

I don't actually have to go to Random.org anymore! I just go down and enter the numbers and voila bang bada boom!

But I have a sad story. It picked a number. But when I went and checked, that person did not do the initial entry. I've never had this happen and it was really hard to not give it to her anyway. But fair is fair, and I think it's only fair for those that follow the rules. I'm not going to say who it was but if you're reading this make sure you check the initial entry rules on my giveaways!

So I had to do it again and the next time it picked #150!

And the winner is.................

Tiffany819 who said... 150

What makes me a nerd? Because I am definitely not cool. lol. I love to stay home and watch TV or read books. Spend time with my family. I'm not hip or with it when it comes to my clothes. Maybe if I could rock out with these chicbuds in my ear, people would assume I was cool. :) Thank you for the giveaway.

Friday, April 03, 2009 9:39:00 AM

She definitely deserves this! She had 6 entries! Smart girl. Congrats to Tiffany!

Oh, and if you didn't win this time check out my $30 CASH GIVEAWAY!
Or stay tuned for another giveaway. Not the buds this time, but definitely something chic!

If I only had a brain....doo do do do do do do

Seriously. Is it just me who seems to have an empty head right now? I'm knockin' but all I hear is this weird hollow sound. I can't seem to remember anything and I have about a dozen airhead moments every. day. And no, I'm not pregnant. I guess I just have a lot going on.

As a little update, things have been crazy. Eldon had two phone interviews this week. Then he had an interview 2 1/2 hours away today, he has another more than 3 hours away tomorrow (luckily my sweet friend Angela is going to tend for me so I can go too), and then he has another... get this....Saturday morning at 8:30 a.m. another 2 1/2 hours away. And all three of these are in completely different directions. It's insane. But the exciting this is....we're getting interviews!!

Anyway, back to my airhead moment. I totally forgot that my book giveaway ended last night and I needed to pick a winner today.

Random.org picked #36 which is

Melonie who said... 1

Okay, I don't even have to go to their site to be LOVING the "Thing 1/Thing 2" onesies. Those are hilarious!!! lol I don't have twins but they (and triplets) run in my family - I've been shocked that neither of my kids was twins/trips.

My husband asked me today if I could imagine if our son had been sextuplets. Wait - is he trying to tell me something???? (If you don't hear from me for a while, it's because I've gone into hiding on that idea. LOL)

Monday, March 23, 2009 10:08:00 PM

Melonie has quickly become a good online friend. She's way more organized and prepared than I am, as you could see from her blog Wandering Quail Road. I'm excited that she won!

For the rest of you stay tuned.....I have another great giveaway coming up today!!

Congrats, Jennifer!!

New giveaway tomorrow so stay tuned!!

I'm baaaack!!! And the Blush winner!

Hello readers! I am finally back! I had so much fun but I am also glad to be back and not looking forward to catching up on the laundry. Ugh.
Anyway, my trip was good. My brother's show was amazing. I had fun with my family, especially going to Denny's at 11:00 at night and having the twins sleep through it in their stroller the entire time. It kind of stunk staying home while Eldon took Ebug to Disneyland but it was worth it so they could go. I don't think the twins are ready for it yet. The beach was a bit chilly and windy but we still had a blast. Saturday we actually got babysitters and went on a triple date which is a once a decade event. And then a 10 hour ride home today where the kids didn't fall asleep until about a half hour before we got home. We won't go there. Glad to be home, tired but rested as well. Lots to catch up on. I'll have pictures up soon too but I want to tell you who won the Blush giveaway!

My tip is to check out http://www.cookingforengineers.com/
It's great for a cook with an analytical mind.

Tuesday, March 03, 2009 2:32:00 PM

I remember commenting back to Maggie asking her is she thought I had an analytical mind. Because even though I'm a nerd I'm not really analytical I don't think. But I loved all the advice!!

Congrats to my winners!

If you didn't win no worries, I will have a new giveaway tomorrow! Ta ta for now!!

My secret giveaway Winner!

If you didn't win this one don't worry, I will be having another secret giveaway in the future so make sure you pay attention to ALL my posts!

So, for those of you that don't already know this, ever since this post I've been putting all comments that contained the word LOVE in a special love folder. Then, since this contest ended yesterday, I went through and put every commenter's name on a slip of paper and put it in a box. And wowser, there were a lot more comments than I thought! You all must really LOVE me! Or free stuff........;)



Anyway, after I had all your names in the box I brought the box up to my son, Ebug, and he chose one out of the box.



Here is the one he chose:



Now, I don't know if you can read it but in my "sloppy writing a whole lot of names on pieces of paper" writing it says:

Which Watch Design will April choose?

Oh my golly, that was way too much work! I used random.org to pick a winner and here were the results:

Here are your random numbers:

Timestamp: 2009-02-22 19:46:31 UTC

Thankfully, my comments are now numbered so finding #122 was easy:

April said... 122

I hope to get the silver ice watch band!

Okay, but here's the problem. I didn't have any way to contact April. She must not have a blogger account and there was no email in any of her comments. However, I decided to do a little detective work, because if you leave a comment you want to win.......so I looked through the emails of those that have subscribed (and she said she did, and recently) and I found an email with the name April. So I am going to email that email and find out if it's her and if it is she gets the prize! However, if I don't hear from her by Tuesday I will pick another winner.

So stay tuned!

By the way, I still didn't get all the cleaning done and I am so sore today! But it did feel good to crank up the music and work all day yesterday. Just wish there was more to show for it.

And....I will have two new giveaways this week so stay tuned!

And....don't forget to use the special word until next Saturday when you comment for my secret giveaway!

Hope you all have a fabulous Sunday!

Music Necklace Winner (100th post bonus for everyone!)

* Edited: Hey everyone! I just noticed that this is my 100th post! Now that is something to celebrate! I was going to send a CD of my favorite songs to the first three commenters but since this is cause for celebration I'm going to send one to anyone that wants one! I can't afford to send them all at once but you let me know if you want one and I'll get it out eventually. Let me know in a comment or just email me with your address!

I just remembered that I was supposed to pick a winner for the music necklace today. Oops! Mommy brain. I'll keep this short. I don't know if you've noticed but I figured out how to number my comments so I was all prepared to get a big number.

But using Random.org I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Here are the results:

Oh, and one more thing! As a surprise I was going to pick my favorite answer and send them a CD of some of my favorite songs. But I loved so many so instead I will send a mix of some of my favorite songs to the first three people who ask for it. So if you want one let me know in your comment! (see edited at top, you all can get one now!)

Our ten year anniversary is coming up this summer so I am very excited for Danetta and glad that she won! That's all for now but you will be hearing from me again berry berry soon! And just to give you a little hint, my next giveaway represents one of my passions, and it's not a book!

To everyone else....thank you so much for your comments and keep checking back because I have some AWESOME giveaways coming up!

And some exciting news........

My "basket" winner- Jill

Wow, I mean seriously, 466 comments?? That does not happen on this blog. I really didn't think I'd get that much since my prize wasn't money or something really cool. (Well, I thought it was cool, but you know....)

I LOVED reading these comments. Some people I could totally relate to and some I was like okay, that's really weird but okay...... So much fun though!

Now, before I announce the winner some exciting news: I will be having a giveaway a week! At least for the next little while. So, stay tuned!!!!

Okay, on to business...using random.org

I counted down to 52 and it was:

Jill who said...

Hmmm...interesting about me....I am the mom to 2 surviving triplet boys. My triplet boys were my try for a little girl :) Someone was telling me I was meant to have only little boys!

I wonder if Jill knows how much we have in common. I was trying for a girl and ended up with twin boys. Although more kudos to her for carrying triplets. I am excited to get to know her. I will email Jill and if I don't hear from her in 48 hours I'll pick a new winner.

Thanks to everyone for entering and I REALLY hope you'll be back often!
