I’ve teamed up with a few other blogger friends to ring in the New Year with a big cash prize! One of our lucky readers will win $200 in 2012. Could it be you?

To enter, simply use the Rafflecopter form below. Giveaway starts 12/7 at 12:00 am EST and ends 1/3 at 11:59 pm EST. This giveaway is open worldwide.

Don’t forget that there are several daily entry opportunities as well, so bookmark this giveaway and come back every day to claim yours! Good luck!

Note regarding doubleentries: We know that many of our readers enter multiple giveaways a day and sometimes lose track of which ones they’ve entered. If you should happen to enter twice by accident or on separate blogs, this will NOT disqualify you. At the end of the giveaway all double entries are deleted so that each person has only one set of entries. This is to ensure that all entrants have a fair chance at being chosen as the winner. 

The SITS Girls are having a giveaway! They are giving away an AWESOME Canon Rebel Camera. So of course I had to enter.

Entry prompt:

Spending time with friends and family can lead to fun and memorable moments, but also some very messy ones. Tell us about the messiest moments that you’ll always remember!

Thinking about messy things I could always tell you about a little girl or boy I babysat for who had a diaper explosion or made a mess with food or crafts. But everyone has those stories, right!

My story is a little different. (Oh Lord I can’t believe I’m about to post this for the whole world to see!) When I was 7 or 8 my family went to Disney World. In an effort to save money, my parents stocked up on crackers for us to eat in the parks for lunch. Ya know, the cheese and peanut butter ones? Well, my tummy didn’t really like them.

My dad really wanted to ride the roller coasters. My sister was too little to ride so my mom stayed with her. I was just big enough to be able to ride the big rides although I didn’t really want to. As we were in line for Space Mountain I began asking my dad questions about the ride. “Is it fast?” “Is it dark in there?” etc. To an adult the answers would be no. To a little kid it all seemed different.

Let’s just say the cheese & peanut butter crackers plus Space Mountain equaled a not so great day for me. And not so white anymore shorts. Thank God for Clorox!

Disclaimer: I received information about Clorox’s Bleach It Away campaign and am sharing my messy moment for the chance to win prizes from The SITS Girls. To learn more about the messy moment program, check out www.BleachItAway.com. Sharing your story on the Clorox fan page gets you entered for the chance to win $25,000 and daily prizes, and you can grab a coupon for Clorox® Regular Bleach.

My friend Chelle over at It’s a Hooah Life is hosting a giveaway! I’m posting this as an entry into the giveaway. Go check it out! (Or not. Then I’ll have more of a chance of winning! JUST KIDDING!!)

I’m really hoping to win this so I can use it in my Weight Loss Challenge. Which I will be telling you about soon!

I have so much going on. I just got home a couple days ago from being at my grandparents house for almost 2 weeks. I haven’t even seen my parents since I got home. I’m still trying to finish unpacking all of my boxes from our move. Plus, I’m starting my new business! Which is SO much fun! Needless to say, I haven’t had much time to post on here. I hate that I’ve been neglecting my blog. It has been such a huge part of my life for the past couple of years. I am trying to keep up with it.

I still want to build my blog following. But right now, one of the hardest things for me is knowing what to write. When I write about my life, I kinda feel like I’m too boring. But my life is kinda boring! Haha. I have thought about doing reviews for companies, but I wouldn’t even know where to start with that. So I’m kinda lost.

Anyways. I’m super excited about my new business. I started at the perfect time! Christmas is coming soon, so people can buy jewelry for Christmas presents!!! I’m also working on some promotions for the next few months. Look forward to a GIVEAWAY on here soon!!!!

I’m off to get some work done now. Have a great day!!!

We all love Starbucks. The winner of this giveaway is getting a Starbucks gift card! Not only is this a $10 Starbucks gift card, you can register the card and win points with your purchases. (I recommend you register before you use it!) With this specific card, every time you use it, Starbucks will give 5 cents to Conservation International. (through Dec 31st, 2010) So while you’re having your coffee, or espresso like me, you will also be helping save the planet! How awesome is that!

Without further ado… We Have A WINNER!!

Our winner is Marie, from Emma Calls Me Mama! Everyone should head over to her blog to congratulate her!!
