I have quite a few unclaimed prizes to giveaway and they need to go to someone that reads my blog. I have a garage full of donations as I’m still looking for a charity that will work with me. It has to be just the right fit. Anyways, let’s have some fun:
Here is the list of prizes:
(sponsor details and prize descriptions are in the links, click on them to see more details)
Family Party 30 Great Winter Games
To Enter:
Open Comments – Comment as many times as you want, right after each other, in between, I’m not picky. I just need to find a winner. Topic Idea, what’s a good charity you like? That takes “in-kind” donations, STUFF! But that’s just an idea, we can talk about whatever you want to.
You can tweet too if you feel inspired enough to do so.

Unclaimed Prizes Giveaway @momstart All Goes to One Person http://bit.ly/9EaFCK
This Giveaway Ends on Monday March 1st. Come and go as you please. Have a good time. All rules can be found under giveaway rules. Each Prize is sponsored by the sponsor on the original post.
I volunteer at Salvation Army handing out food- I know they do (in fact gotta be there in 10 minutes)
Wow what an awesome giveaway! thanks for the chance! I love our local Ronald McDonald House for a charity.
these are all great prizes. I would love to win
Our local RMH always has a need for preemie and infant clothing and baby items, toys, dvds, household items, office supplies, etc. They are also very nice and help a lot of families in need.
I love the Kidney Foundation, Salvation Army, Goodwill, Disabled American Vets, etc. They all take in items and sell them in thrift stores. My family donates items to them and buys items from them. It’s an awesome thing… Helps charity and it saves items from recycle, too.
We also have a local homeless shelter for families. Just one but they’re great. They always need everything for kids and families.
I tweeted for you, too: https://twitter.com/supasecretsista/status/9688579155
Nobody claimed those prizes!? Crazy! Pick me – I’ll claim them lol
I like the Salvation Army. My mom is a soldier there and they are wonderful about helping people out.
Oh we also have a shelter for women and kids who have left an abusive situation. They also accept everything, a lot of it goes to helping the women set up new apartments, etc once they move out of the shelter.
I am even entering from my cell phone cuz I want to win so bad haha
The Animal Shelter. I wouldn’t know what I would do without my dogs. I love them so. I got all 3 of my dogs from the Animal Shelter.
I like to support a local charity for women and children. They have a constant turnover – women stay for 30 days while the shelter helps them find jobs, training and housing, some of the housing provided by another branch of the same charity. They frequently arrive with almost nothing and leave ready to have their own households. They accept toys, clothes, food, cleaning products, just about anything! Perhaps there’s somewhere similar near you?
Another charity I love is actually a friend of mine is a pediatrician in a low income area, she collects new and gently used books for her patients. She tries to give each patient a book each time she sees them. She says many of these children don’t even own one book.
One of my favorite organizations that fits your criteria is the Samaritan House. They give victims of domestic and family violence a safe haven to get back on their feet. Because most women and children show up with nothing, they can use just about anything and are very appreciative of the donations.
Great prizes. I tweeted about it here: http://twitter.com/CouponClippin/status/9688698408
Not to sure about donations, I mostly donate food. Maybe a womens crisis center, day care depending on what you have.
One more thing… Grab a pad of paper and a pen and start listing out your items and the ARVs. The US Government has guidelines for you, too, as far as what is tax deductible. If you have it all listed out before you work with the charity, it makes the process for receipts a LOT easier.
I always take the time to donate gently used clothing and toys to the salvation army and goodwill.
I could really use the potty book too we are getting ready to start that soon 🙂
I also love the winter time coat drives. Amazing a ton of kids don’t have one coat to keep them warm during the winter. We love to buy coats for our kids off season when you can find $150 coats for $10-20, we always buy a few extras for the coat drive.
I am all about the GoodWill, because I like the idea of providing families with an inexpensive place to shop for all the things they need.
Also the nearest Indian Reservations always need everything. The level of poverty the kids there live in is just sad. Many have zero toys or books and also need clothes and shoes.
Depending on what you have, shelters are a good option – they need grooming products and food and clothing… Women’s shelters need baby and child items…
Great giveaway! 🙂 Depending on the products, if they’re mainly for women and children there’s Harbor House. It’s a charity for battered, abused women and children but it’s just based out of Florida I believe. http://www.harborhousefl.com/
Also some of the preschools in underpriviledged areas are always looking for toys and games for the classrooms.
I have two charities locally that I like to donate stuff to. Youth For Christ has a thrift store and Good Will has a thrift store here.
These are great prizes! I can’t believe they went unclaimed, but I know I probably miss emails once in a while for winning stuff too.
I saw the note above about animal shelters! We got our dog from an animal shelter as well! He’s been a great dog. We’ve had him for about 9 years now.
I personally like the Salvation Army & Goodwill. The Goodwill has a Donations box (clothes only) in our town so I don’t have to drive 45 minutes to the nearest one, so that’s where most of my “gently used” clothing goes.

Are you kidding?! Those are some great prizes.
My son’s birthday is Feb 28th so if say on the 1st we were to win that Wii Winter Games game I think we’d have a really happy camper.
I’d love to claim these prizes, especially the Webkinz Jr. Such a cute website.
Am I the only one here?
Hey, Pixie! Hope you are enjoying your Friday!

Hey, Matt. It’s a fairly good day. You?
Oh, and the Potty books? Perfect for my toddler-girl. She’s at the rip off the pamper and doody on the floor stage. Isn’t that fun…
Love the Sade giveaway too – I could swear that Soldier of Love (track) is a re-release of an older song though… Gonna have to go google that tidbit now.
Charity I love- RedCross. When something happens, they’re the first ones there. I’d like to think they’d be there for me if I needed them (knock on wood cos I don’t want to need them).
I’m doing well. I’m leaving work early this afternoon, so that always helps!
I support disabled vets (my dad is a vet), salvation army (love what they do for communities), and cans for cancer (family members who have), breast cancer research (family member who had). Try to do all I can. 🙂
Can’t believe people left prizes. 🙁
Yup, an early start on the weekend is always good.
I would go with a local family center or if you have a women and children center that would be good. Here we have the HOPE center and before we moved here we lived near a shelter for families getting away from domestic violence. They were always in need of stuff because usually the women would just live there homes in a hurry without packing and so they didn’t have much.
Hello, Cindi. Welcome.
Hello, Danielle J. How is everyone this afternoon?
Oh, pick me! I love winning prizes! 😉
I love the charities that take donations and give back that don’t charge. Like I give to one that is called families services. they take donations, go through them, organize, and give back to those in need (FRRE). Makes me feel good.
Throwing my hat in the ring. The prizes I can’t use can be given to friends and family who can.
I am a big supporter of our local BPA – Battered Persons Advocacy. I volunteered there in high school and recently was able to donate a new car seat.
We use goodwill to donate to a lot.
We give to Salvation Army & Goodwill, w4 kids we have rec help & believe in giving back!! Goodluck to whom ever wins
I would Love to get those WEBKINS.. we donate stuffed animals to the Police Dept.. they keep them in their cars to give to kids that are scared about what ever might be going on!! We take bags of Stuffed animals about 6 times a year to them!! Thanks
Hi Pixie. Thanks. AHh didn’t expect to see my name how cute. 🙂
My sister does volunteer data entry at ReTails in Raleigh, NC – it’s a thrift store whose proceeds go to an animal shelter! They do good business too. And have a half-price day last Sunday of the month!
Does anyone have big weekend plans? Nothing much here. Doing taxes tonight and a party for some kids my wife’s cousin just adopted.
Tweet – http://twitter.com/Mom2Valerie/status/9690038090
Don’t forget that domestic violence shelters can always use personal items for women and children, including diapers, sanitary products, hand sanitizer, lotion, and socks.
I like to help people we know or hear about through friends with clothing or other items that are needed. Not a charity per se, but a good use for donations.
That is good to know Christina. I like to give things that help people who need it like domestic violence.
I used to volunteer for the Gleaners who harvested the last of the crops at local farms for the local food pantry. I don’t do it anymore because I have two small kiddos
We have a local thrift store charity. It’s awesome, they accept donations for toys, clothing, book etc, that they then sell in the thrift store super cheap. They are run entirely by volunteers, and all monies, less operational expenses, are given back to the community. It’s really an awesome place. i always feel good about shopping, and/or donating stuff there.
Yes, Battered Persons Shelters can use most anything. Many of those women & kids come with just the clothes on their backs.
I like to give to people in person rather than thrift shops… some shops take too big of a cut of the “free” money from donated items.
Yeah its great to support women leaving abusive situations.
It is always too bad when people don’t claim their prizes. I wonder if they could have used the little pick-me-up for the day.
me too owen’s mom. I prefer to donate to organizations who will give the items to people in need not sell them.
Our favorite charity is St Margarets house, it is a day shelter for moms and their children. They can shower and get a hot meal and have somewhere warm to hang out!
It always seems so odd when people don’t claim their awesome prizes!
We also love giving directly to families or through our church to help families. It’s a little easier to know the donation is going to a good cause.
How fun–I want to win!!
I tweeted: http://twitter.com/gosfam/status/9690299370
THANKS for the giveaway!
I love to donate my things to Goodwill or Rescued Treasures. We have also donated to Every Woman’s Place, a shelter for battered women and children. My daughter had a fund raiser for them a couple of months ago and we also took a bunch of things like personal care items and formula over there. Thanks so much for the great giveaway, these are great prizes and I would love to win!

mmmm Sara Lee, now I am hungry!
Well back from doing the food giveaway. You know I really enjoy doing it. The people who come are most usually nice (some can be irritating and demanding) but everyone who volunteers has a great time!
I donate a lot of clothes to goodwill

I don’t have potty-training aged kids, so if I win the package, could you pick another winner for those books?! Not sure if it is you or someone else who will be shipping the prizes
I think it depends on the stuff. I like to give to the Women’s Shelter here. I also give stuff to the Burned Out Families ran by our volunteer fire de.
I know a lot of churches accept donations to give to the community
I wonder if I ever entered any of these giveaways that were unclaimed
I usually just donate on freecycle. You can give to anyone for free, or ask for anything for free. I’ve been blessed to give and recieve many things this way.
I’d be P.O.ed if I missed a winning email or something lol
I can’t believe these prizes weren’t claimed. My daughters would love the Webkinz
Tweet http://twitter.com/smash906/status/9690670248
I have 6 kids, ages ranging from 1-15. I think there is something for everyone of them in this giveaway!
ohhh I like the potty books, Not looking forward to training the baby in a year or so!
I tried to win our 3 1/2 year old a Webkinz Jr before with no luck
I always wanted that Wii game, too
I ran a food drive once, best feeling in the world to help people in need
Those Sarah Lee coupons are looking good right now
My 2 year old nephew would love the potty book
I agree with previous poster, freecycle is a great website
I agree with The Gosfam, churches are also a good place to donate. I’ve never known one to charge for items that were given, unless they are using it for a church garage sale.
Shoot the 3 1/2 year old heard me mention the webkinz jr to her sister and now she wants one for her bday…i hope i win lol
I especially want the Winter Games!
All the prizes look amazing.
Oooh Sarah Lee coupons…I love coupons!
I would be mad too if I missed an e-mail
My DD is potty training and the book would be awesome for her
and my son would love the wii game!
I just rocked the house at Target with coupons…spent $85 and saves $71 in coupons
This week I’m getting a box of clothes and shoes of the kids’ to take to the shelter.
I gotta go to target later today! I plan on saving $$$ too!
We normally donate to churches.
I want the WII game too, how fun!!
I’m so happy its Friday! wooo hoo!
my kids dont have an webkinz…momma is too cheap!
We also try to think of people we know that could use what we want to get rid of.
Whom ever wins this will be so lucky
making lunch for my dd right now. yummy!
I get Subway for lunch!! I am so excited!!
I would be mad if I missed the email too, then I would be sad 🙁
we like to know that our stuff is going to people who want/need it instead of someone who is just buying stuff to resell.
I think a women’s shelter would be nice, especially if they have their children with them.
I donate to Value Village because you get a coupon of 20% off your next purchase.
Thats why I like when blogs post the names of the winners on their site, just in case!
I found out that I won a $100 target gc from a site by googling my name…never even got the email..
Wish I had a Target nearby….I live in the country and it takes me 45 minutes to get to the nearest Target.
What a GREAT LOOT!! Seriously I know a friend who i could give the Potty books too.
Haha I am gonna get busy and forget to come back and comment here, and there will be a bijillion other comments
Ashley lucky you!! $100 to Target is awesome. Good thing you googled yourself 🙂
Oh No Verionica! I couldn’t live without Target! I live 10-15 mins away from 2 of them
Oh, wow! $100 gc for target…..good thing you found out before it was too late
I love Target, and the closest one for me is over a hour away.
Haha I know The Gosfam, who the heck does that anyways? I was just curious and I came across that…it was funny
I visit Target everytime I go see my parents or visit my sister. It is a MUST go to store.
Yum, I love subway.
Maybe I should Google myself and see what I have one 🙂 Except I would have to Google Gosfam
I would love to WIN! What Great prizes that someone missed out on….
It does suck not living near a Target! And worse, there isn’t any Kroger nearby either. The nearest is 88 miles away! I see the post for Kroger and wish we had one.
I have a Target and a Walmart right near eachother and the Walmart is overpacked with “peopleofwalmart.com” people…lol Target is always nice and quiet
Ha ha!! It shows like all my giveaway entries–I have entered a lot–LOL!!
Haha Gosfam, me too…I am addicted
Wow, wouldn’t want to miss out on getting a Target gift card! The thing I hate most is when I reply with my shipping info and the prize never comes!
I never thought about googling myself to see if I won anything……think I might try it!
Oh Matt that would drive me crazy! I’ve been waiting for the same gift card to show up for over 2 months…I even called her out on twitter for it haha
She claims it will be here soon…we’ll see..
I have actually won a lot of giveaways so it makes it more fun to keep entering and to see how LUCKY I will be each time.
I think MomStart should end this giveaway tonight so we all have better odds lol
Me too Gosfam, I have a huge list on my computer of things I have won
Oh yeah Matt that’s terrible!
I won a $100 gift card to Sam’s Club in December and was so happy since it would come in handy for CHristmas. When I got the card it was only for $25, and I still never got the rest of my winnings
I actually think I recall seeing you posted as a winner somewhere!
Matt, sometimes your prize doesn’t come? That’s never happened to me before and I hope it doesn’t. I think I would keep emailing the person doing the giveaway to see if they sent it or not.
Oh No! That would make me SOOO mad!
Too bad I never win the BIG giveaways, like cash prizes, cars, or things like that 🙂
Yes Matt, I agree with Veronica! If they held the giveaway on behalf of a company (like myblogspark or momcental or something) I would email the company
sam’s club was the closest I got to cash
lol Gosfam, my boyfriend says that to me all the time. He doesnt care if I win a Target giftcard, he wants one for home depot or a motorcycle or something ridiculous!
I would fight for my prize, but I hit a dead end on the gift card. I would e-mail the company, call the company, etc.
I agree, she should end it tonight. Once it is time to pick up my kiddos don’t know how much more time I can dedicate to this.
I think I’ve won about $550 in gift cards since october…plus a bunch of other little prizes…lucky streak I guess
The prizes I’m talking about were from early last year and they weren’t anything too big, so I just let them go. I try my best to make sure companies are sending out the prizes they giveaway through my blog!
Ok gotta take the kid to buy a gift for her friends bday party tomorrow…Good luck and I’ll be back!
WOW Ashley you are LUCKY!! That is a lot of gift cards.
My favorite “charity” is ReTails Thrift Shop. It is sponsored by AnimalKind. All of their proceeds go to low cost spay-neuter. They take donations and any donations they can’t use go into a big truck. When the truck is full, somebody pays them for whatever is in it. The employees are really nice, and there is ALWAYS some kind of fun sale. One day, you get 50% off something by showing them your best disco move, another day you get 50% off by showing them a picture of your pet, etc.
I win toys, books, DVDs, food coupons, random stuff really. But it is fun to get stuff in the mail.
My three year old is already asking me “Are you still on the computer?” Gotta love them, even when they repeat the question for the millionth time!
NO WAY $550 in giftcards. WOW you are a winning machine Ashley. Good for you. WInning is fun hu?
I still haven’t showered yet today–I better go and do that, and then fix lunch for the kiddos, preschool time, and fun time!!
For me I have given away so many prizes. I think it is more fun to win them. HA
My daughters are coloring right now which is nice 🙂
Ashley, that isn’t lucky, that is Blessed!
I’ve always heard that Sara Lee is Good and Healthy so I would love to try her products!! 😉
I agree about the Battered Women’s Shelter. When I volunteered for them, it was so sad to see these exhausted women come in and rummage through the piles of junk clothing, trying to find ANYTHING to put their kids in for the night.
And even just the stuff people take from motels – shampoo, soap, etc – that would all be greatly appreciated by the Shelters.
I now do giveaways on my blog and just started in January–I like winning and reviewing–either way you get free products
i enter stuff all the time, and very rarely ever win anything…it makes me wonder if i’ve ever missed an email too. Although i always check my junk folder. i know not all blogs even email their winners…some you have to check back. It’s surprising there are so many unclaimed.
I just started and haven’t won much. $15 for Home Depot, food coupons, Rainbow Brite Adventure Pack. Nothing very big, but I am happy when i win!
I have only reviewed a few thing so far, but it is fun!! I like finding out who won my giveaways too–I am so excited for them.
Goodwill is not the best place to donate – they throw tons of stuff away. So not only are they wasting stuff (and I understand, it might not all be in perfect condition), but they’re adding to our landfills.
Veronica I love Rainbow Brite–sounds like a fun prize.
Today is a Packing day!! We are going to visit family and friends and here I’m on the computer not packing 😉 Giveaways are you so much better..YAHOO!
Okay I am really going to take a shower!! Be back hopefully soon.
My sister WINS everything!! I never have one a single giveaway so this would be GREAT!!
Gosfam you better go take a shower or your husband wont bring you SUBWAY 😉
I hardly Win stuff but I’m a coupon and freebie finder 🙂 Saving Money is GREAT!!
LOL – I was reading through the comments to see if anybody had any great ideas I didn’t know about. I was so excited to see that somebody liked the same thrift shop that I do. But I had to laugh when I looked to see who it was- and it was my sister! But she’s right – I had totally forgotten that the last Sunday of every month is half price day and EVERYTHING is half price.

try a local womans shelter
i need chocolate….hmmm. Wonder if i have any valentine candy left.
Trying to do fifteen things at once doesn’t work well.
My boys would love Webkinz!! My one year old loves puppies and that dog looks so CUTE
Especially if the teenager is fighting with the preschooler because he’s bored.
tweeted about this GREAT giveway!!
TheWorthys
I just recieved the Rainbow Brite yesterday. Me and the daughter will be trying it out today. It does look like fun
Stupid snow. No school today because of it.
I had a Rainbow Brite doll when I was little.
I remember when I had a Rainbow Brite doll…..wonder what happened to it?
My boys are playing so nice together right now!! But I know Pixie13 its Crazy sometimes…
We have had SUNSHINE the last couple of Days!!
I have no idea what happened to mine, either. Probably lost it when we moved.
Well, here in South Texas, hardly any snow. My kids got to see some come down on Tuesday and we were ecstatic! Wish we could of had more…
Rainbow Brite is coming back!! and last summer I found the very first rainbow brite at a YARD SALE!! The best part about it was price $3, I scored!!
Yup, mine too. I remember missing alot of toys when we moved to Florida, from Texas. Living back in Texas now.
Well, I better go start packing but I will be back soon!! 😉
You can have some of ours; I can’t even open the back door.
Not staying focused on tasks at hand. Shower done–check.
I miss living in the south. Not that NC is much better off for weather right now, but still…
No school today here either. We were out for three weeks, then back for 3 days…then no school yesterday or today. This has been quite a winter!
I wish! Would of loved to have slept in…..if it was possible. Don’t remember the last time I actually did that!
Waiting for coffee to finish perking. I need caffeine.
salvation army & goodwill
Gosfam, that was a quick shower….but understand about not being focused on the task at hand. I’m suppose to be doing laundry!
I get to sleep in every Friday–it is nice.
Veronica my girls are running all over the house–my showers are 10 min at the most. Also I should be doing laundry too.
mmm…coffee. i should make a second pot.
If you’re religious you might also check with your church – they may be able to direct you to an organization or family in need!
Oh, I’m so jealous! I make my kids breakfast and drive them to school M-F. My one year old never sleeps past 7:00 am, even on the weekends 🙁
Gosfam, thanks. Now I remember I need to do laundry. Going to go start a load.
I only have one in school, kindergarten, full days 3 days a week so I get a break on Mon and Fri.
Gosfam, I hear you on the kiddos. My showers are quick too, unless the hubby keeps them downstairs long enough for me to shower longer.
So My little sister is trying to enter in this giveaway too, and her comments don’t show up–weird, right?
Most of the time I have to leave my bathroom door open, and my bedroom door opened so i can hear ANYTHING 🙂
Doesn’t the Sally army do pick ups
Gotta go pick-up after my girls (with their help) markers, papers, and crayons everywhere.
That is weird, but you know what? My sister in law won a prize on another blog and I looked back at the comments and didn’t see any of hers. Maybe the blogger still recieves them even though we do not see them?
I like to support animal rescue organizations and the local shelters. They always appreciate donations of food and supplies.
I can’t understand why someone would give up such great prizes. Silly people.
Right now, I’m thinking about Olympic Hockey. I hope the US wins today. Anyone else here a hockey fan?
Goodwill is definitely my favorite for in-kind donations. The work they do is of the hand-up, not hand-out type.
Unseen comments sometimes go to the blog owner’s spam folder; mine do a lot because I enter so many giveaways. Usually the blog owner puts them in.
If hubby isn’t around and I shower when my older kids are at school, I have to lock the three year old and one year old in the bathroom with me. My shower has glass doors so I can see them.
I am soooo glad that it is almost the weekend. I have tons of stuff to get done, and I also need some time off!
There’s also a charity in our town called Ram’s Rack that raises funds to help those in need set up household affairs to get their lives started over. But I guess that’s a bit far away from you, huh?
And golly, isn’t everybody glad it’s Friday!? What’s up for the weekend?
We’re gonna go look at cars this weekend. Probably not buying yet, unless they practically pay us to take it, though.
Yeah for Friday!!
Tomorrow, My friend and I are having a GNO and seeing Dear John, and going to dinner. Should be fun!!
Anyone see any good movies lately? I saw Avatar, and enjoyed it, but it wasn’t quite the incredible breakthrough movie that the media had led me to believe it to be. Star Wars is the only movie to ever affect me in that way.
Plus my friend says she is paying since it was my birthday this past Sunday–DOUBLE BONUS :)!
We’re going out for our weekly Mexican dinner with friends tonight! Woo Hoo!
Happy Belated B-Day to Gosfam!
Thanks Jennifer–it was a fun birthday weekend!!
If you use Swagbucks there’s a code out on the swidget
Happy late B.day Gosfam
Thanks for all the birthday wishes!! My hubby actually took to spend the weekend with family and had a fun party!!
The Puck drops in 15 minutes for the U.S. Swiss hockey game. Wish I was at home to watch it.
so what is for dinner tonight?
Happy Belated Bday Gosfam! My hubby’s bday was last Friday! We enjoyed a romantic dinner out, no kids…..
Fish sticks, shrimp, and fries for dinner tonight.
Wow, that’s a lot of stuff. I would donate some of it if I won.
I donate some stuff to a local thrift store and food shelf called Helping Hands.
Hmmm…I am thinking homemade pizza. We used to have pizza night every Friday and we haven’t done it lately.
Yeah it’s Friday!! Tonight’g going to be a good night visiting family 😉
We always do homemade pizza on fridays! 🙂
Okay tree I think you twisted my arm–PIZZA it is!!
Dinner is snacks on the road!! Or whatever my mom has made for us when we see her tonight
Tree do you do homemade crust or store bought?
Have you guys heard of Listia.com? My favorite new website. It is an auction site, but everything is free. You bid with credits you earn for listing stuff.
We celebrate the Lent season, so no meat on Fridays for us. And we are a family that loves meat on our pizza
Happy Endings Dog Rescue. They take in primarily large breed dogs, which is much more difficult to get adopted out than the cute little small dogs.
homemade, always. tonight i’m making it with spinach, portabellos and red peppers. Yum!
We are vegetarian Veronica, so no meat for us ever. 🙂
Hey Tree, I’m veg too, and my favorite homemade pizza is with refried beans, corn, salsa and queso fresco. Then I top it with cilantro. My mean-eating husband loves it too!
Oops, I mean “meat-eating” husband! Although sometimes he is a mean eater too.
Homemade crust, huh? I need your recipe. I haven’t found a good recipe that I like.
tweet
http://twitter.com/pixie13sweeps/status/9694013407
We love meat too Veronica–although I may venture trying your vegetarian specialty Tree.
Stromboli actually sounds good for dinner tonight.
pixie13 I have never had Stromboli
I really need to go do other stuff for now. I’ll be back this evening; hope to see some of you then
Mine is easy, but i don’t follow a straight recipe. i just sorta throw it all together, until the dough feels right. 🙂 i usually do half white/half wheat flour…because the whole wheat is a bit too heavy.
Why would anyone enter a contest then not respond when they win? What’s the point in entering?
I usually use Goodwill. They have a drive through in my area and they even come out to your car and unload it all for you. Can’t beat that.
adding feta cheese to the spinach/portebella/red pepper pizza is my favorite…but i don’t have feta today.
thanks for the tips!! I have been using these mini pizza crusts that I found at Wal-Mart. My girls like that they can make their own personal pizza
OK< one last comment, stromboli is just basically folded pizza without the sauce ( although some people will argue & say calzone, either/or) Cut it in slices & use a dipping sauce. I don't care for tomato based sauces, so not a big pizza eater.
I also use a Christian Ministries store here in town. They are like Goodwill, but privately owned I believe. It is getting hard to find organizations now that want tangible items.
Enjoy Pizza night tonight!! I need to go and do the dishes and sweep the floor.
That’s about the same for my homemade crust. I probably use about 3/4 cup wheat and 3/4 cup white flour. Then about 1Tbs olive oil and 2 tsp instant yeast. I just mix, knead a little and let it rise once, about 45 minutes. Then spread it out and add toppings. Easy!
Those potty books sure would come in handy soon!
I would feel like a total idiot if it came to find out I was one of the winners who didn’t respond…and now I was trying to win it again. LOL!!! That would be something I would do.
I just said “would” like 3 times.
I’m hopped up on cold medicine; please excuse my pathetic attempts at the English language today.
I gotta go for now too. Gonna finish straightening things out, then time to pick up my kids from school. Maybe I’ll talk to some of you tonight.
i like doing the mini pizza crusts with my kiddoes too. i use homemade crust, but we can split the dough into 4 or 5 minis. You can also turn them into pizza pockets. They freeze well too. My kids love decorating their own pizzas.
Be back later to blab some more. I’m going to watch the Women’s Olympic skating that I STILL haven’t had a chance to watch.
I also do cat rescue, so am involved with the Humane Society!
i’m not even sure why i’m enetering. i just checked the prizes, and the only thing that really interests me is the webkinz Jr and maybe the Sarah Lee coupons. lol. i should really go find something to do.
Pizza always something to make quick and easy!!
i need to go call on a pregnant goat that was listed on Craigslist. 🙂 i hope she’s still available!!
Don’t Worry, Be Happy!! 🙂 This saying keeps me going!!
Mini pizza sounds great. Sometimes when my husband is craving meat, I put a little Chorizo on his, and mini-pizzas would prevent his meat from infultrating my veg side. Although he would say the same thing about the TVP i sometimes put on my 1/2.
Craiglist is a GREAT place to shop too!! I have found great things on there 😉
Donations to women’s shelters are great!
Donations to Humane Societies are another great idea.
I like to donate to my church. Many families contact churches when they need help and peopel are always in need.
Good luck getting rid of this stuff!!
And the dealer just called back and said they sold the van I was looking at! Yeesh. Not my lucky day!
I also like Goodwill. They take everything and they do a good job.
Salvation Army is an excellent charity who will even pick up large/bulky items and they provide a great service for the community.
My laptop decided it doesn’t like to cooperate. Trying to clean it up now. Wish me luck!
i like the Kate McRae http://www.prayforkate.com charity. she is a 6 year old with cancer and i pray every day!

Eating my Subway–MMMM!! So yummy.
Chicken Bacon Ranch. My hubby got me a footlong and I am going to eat it all 🙂 Is that bad?
Hey party people I’m back
Oh I love Subway!
I could totally go for a italian bmt right now
Subway sounds so yummy!
Ok, now I have to pick up my kiddos.
I used to work at Subway in high school, and I still love it today.
Gotta take the kids to get a movie and to ice skating now…but I will be back tonight lol
Fed kiddos lunch–check, swept the floor–check, ate Subway–check!! Now dishes and laundry still to do.
So far so good on the computer scan. Hopefully it was just being difficult and wants to play nice now.
i just folded and put away laundry. Need to get my dishes put away, and mop the entryway. i’m glad the snow is starting to melt, but i’m not liking all this mud.
I support several charities including the American Heart Association.
I also support World Vision.
I volunteer at my son’s school in their College Room.
I am also a leader in his Boy Scout troop.
I will be a director for the 2011 Project Graduation at my son’s school.
phew been cleaning the house….time for a break!
I love to volunteer at my son’s school, too!
I also love to help with his boy scouts, they do a lot of community service projects.
I give to several charities that support Breast Cancer Awareness. My mom died of Breast Cancer when she was just 49 years old and I was only 19.
Funny he’ll go and clean someone else yard as a project but won’t help clean ours. We have a yardman instead…;) lol.
I also love St. Baldrick’s organization.
I will be so glad when tax season is over and life will get back to somewhat normal. I’ve almost forgotten what normal feels like.
Subway is always GREAT!!
gotta get back to cleaning. I’m collecting clothes and shoes to giveaway. You got me going on the donating! 😉
I also give my clothes to a local Thrift store!
Lately there are so many people in need of some help.
any plans for the weekend?
I plan to do more spring cleaning. Gotta declutter!
Kiddos down for a nap-Check! Dishes-Check! But I still have to finish up laundry and pack!
My little boy just went Poop Poop in the potty 😉 Yahoo!!
wow my kids outgrow their clothes so fast!
wow my kids outgrow their clothes so fast!
I love the gap adjustable waistband, though. helps clothes last a little longer.
my son has been outgrowing his shoes like crazy!
We are going to watch the movie Up tonight. i love friday nights, Movie and pizza…nice and laid back. 🙂
There is a opossum inside my bird feeder. ha ha. i wonder if it’s stuck?
Up is such a good movie. Enjoy it!!
Oh I loved the movie up but it was sad in parts..;)
Cool. I’ve been having a hard time finding a good local charity to donate used items too. Salvation Army is OK, but they re-sell things instead of giving them to those in need. I’ve heard there’s a local family services organization that allows people to take what they need.
I give to Goodwill b/c it’s quick and easy for me.
omg all thos prizes? i need to win , randomizer pick me pick me !
hard to believe you cant find a charity to help with donations, here any charity would grab them up!
heck i will be a charity lol gimmie the prizes randomizer
yeah all the charities here are great and will grab up anything!
i need the potty books for my grandson, the winter games for my son, the sara lee for me!!
i really enjoy your site and hope one of those unclaimed prizes wasnt mine from when i was sick!! o no that would be bad
i never experienced morning sickness when i was pregnant, but woke and ran to get sick, told my b/f i feel so sorry for all those that suffered with it, luckily mine was just a bug lol
yeah all the prizes are awesome!
been gettin ready for sons birthday, one thing we were going to get him was a new video game, but we just cant afford it this time , so i have my fingers crossed on this
the webkinz jr would be a sweet lil gift to include on a shower gift package or basket
My son’s birthday is coming up, this would be awesome!
Your lucky yours was just a bug Traci!! i had all day sickness until my third trimester with my first. It was miserable.
I just saw this goes until March 1st–GEESH we are going to have TONS of comments by then.
i have a question , seriously , i am computer idiot, hard to believe for some since my bf works and fixes computers, but i dont know how to twitter!!!!!!
i learned how to follow easy enough, but i dont know how to find the twitter unless they put it in the message and says to copy it
someone told me to just copy the item for giveaway and list the url, but how do i find what to put in if its not here ? i know im dumb but i just dont get it!
Twitter confuses the hell out of me. i know how to copy and paste, and so that’s what i do there….other than that it’s all like a foreign language. hee hee.
My favorite charity is probably my local animal shelter(s). I love animals 🙂
so can anyone out there help me with twitter i would appriciate any and i mean ANY help with all of that, and another thing, if i click follow and am then following you, how do i comment on that page or can i not do it, cause i havent been able to find a way to do it. any comments about that would be a help also
i copy the url address of the giveaway and paste it on twitter. If i’m following the person that is giving it away i put @theirname in front of it. Sometimes i write brief description if there is enough space.
i probably won’t be on much tomorrow, so their won’t be a whole lot of comments from me….i’m just feeling especially lazy this evening.
Movie Night is always FUN!!
Listening to music and packing and cleaning the house is so much FUN!!
I like donating to GoodWill
i like shopping at the goodwill. 🙂
To tweet on twitter: You go to your home page and type whatever you want in the top box. You just can’t go over the accepted amount of words. To post about a giveaway just say what it is with the direct link to the giveaway and you are all set.
How do those twitter parties work? Has anyone ever attended one?
I love thrift stores!!
Wow, these are some fantastic prizes. I can’t believe they weren’t claimed!!!
In case you have tons of time on your hands, how about selling them on ebay and then donating the money to your favorite charity.
Ebay fees are really high, between that and shipping cost it’s probably not worth the time to list them.
Back from picking up my mini-herd.
lol same here tree, if i cant copy and paste i just dont know what to do
Paid $20 to buy my 4th grade daughter’s bowl….it’s for a good cause though, to help our local food pantry. And it’s not just for the bowl, tomorrow we get to have all you can eat soup and bread from all the different restraunts that are catering/donating for the cause. Can’t wait!
heck i just figured out how to work my facebook page, and that took me forever to do!should of seen me was petrified to add anyone on it cause i didnt know what it would do to me
my family has all gone facebook , which is better than myspace, that one my daughter set up for me, and thats all i knew to do , just to go and look at how pretty she made it, lol
I’m just getting the hang of facebook too. I don’t even bother with twitter!
i remember when i entered my first giveaway, i didnt do the follow on google friend, nor the networked blogs, i didnt subscribe , and rss i was like wtheck is that?? took me a few months to get to where i would do any of those, but i think i got it all down now, all except twitter
so my one and only grandson will be turning 1 in june, my how fast time goes by!! what does one get a 1 year old little boy for his birthday? i wouldnt mind hearing some ideals, i am thinking a dang helmet since he is such a BOY already lol, love that they dont have a single fear in the world at that age
oooooooooo is it homemade bread??cause if it is i want to buy a bowl too lol
i can remember my grandma and my mom making homemade from scratch , me i make it homemade from a package of frozen dough! but it still comes out great tasting
Our community does that Empty bowl program too! That is a great idea. i believe local artists makes the bowls though, not the school.
i make homemade bread often, not ever day..but still quite often. We especially love bread bowls, and then fill them with broccoli cheese soup..or blackbean/sweet potato chili. i don’t use a bread machine either, i actually make it from scratch. 🙂
I believe it is homemade bread they will be serving and tree, it is the Empty bowl program. This is my first year actually attending one.
there i went trying to tweet, and failing! i dont know why it is so hard for me to learn this when my niece had her friend over here and that lil girl said she twitters, first i couldnt believe she was allowed, 2nd why i didnt just grab her by her shirt and keep her til she taught me i dont know!
What was the problem you had Traci?
o dang, here i sit eating a carmel from ghirardelli, while next to me is a weight watchers magazine!!someone should smack my hands, hard.i need to lose weight but not a little bit, not like 20-30 pounds, more like 75-100 and it is so dang hard! i hate good for you foods, so i am having a really hard time, i did lose 15 pounds since i stopped drinking pop, but sure doesnt make a big deal when i have so much more to go, but i have kept that 15 off for 5 months,now to get to exercising
and i have a new tredmill sitting in my frontroom, and a exercise bike,one where the pedals are even with your hips, also sitting in my frontroom, i just have no ump! no get up and go , i need to find a reason to lost weight and i havent found one yet, has anyone else found something that made them finally focus and get serious about losing the weight? please share so i can see if it would work for me! i mean i got the tredmill new an i hate to waste money but that is wasting ALOT of money just standing there.
I am so tired today–not feeling like doing anything.
Wow, homemade pizza and homemade bread! Tree, I could learn alot from you. I honestly don’t have a clue how to make either. And I bet it’s so easy….you make vegetarian meals sound delicous!
some of the charities around here are thru churches , have you tried any of them? and the salvation army is another good one to take donations to, or have pick up.and another thing you might try is talking to the schools in your area, some might take for their yard sale when they are trying to raise money for trips to take the music dept on trips ,it never hurts to call and ask, even if they dont usually have a yard sale , you could put it in their ear and leave your name and number in case they decide to run with it, hope you get lucky!
Our local charity that benefits people with disabilities.
Pizza in the oven, with help from my three year old. She helped me press it into the pan. 🙂 It’ll be ready in about 10 minutes…then i’ll be off of here..for a while…hee hee.
homemade pizza is the best!
I’m planning to get a pizza and a salad from whole foods for dinner! I’m so tired I don’t feel like cooking tonight! 😉
I’m looking forward to watching the Olympics tonight!
Gotta go get my son from school soon! ;0
drinking some yummy green tea…yum!!!
If you pick me, I promise to claim them!!

I like Goodwill for donations of Stuff. For cash donations,,American Heart Assn of American Cancer society are top picks.
lkish77123 at gmail dot com
I think the WII game would be really fun!! Did I see curling on there? I have a hard time following that sport.
A charity I like here is the hospice. They have a store and take donations and resale them.
Another charity I like is the local spay/neuter (raise money to provide free/low cost spay/neuter)
They just opened a resale shop and they sell donated items.
i love heifer project

I can’t wait for spring. It is snowing here again. We are on our way to having at least the 2nd snowiest winter on record.
I started my seeds for my garden this week. I can’t wait till they start to come up. I like to start as many of my plants myself as I can.

And to think of all the other people that entered these giveaways who would of loved to win. I’ll take the prizes for sure! If I can’t use some of them I know people who defiantly can.
In Idaho you get a state tax credit if you donate to educational or youth programs, so we always donate to Idaho Youth Ranch.
I don’t really have a favorite charity to be honest. I used to like Goodwill (not sure if thats in the charity field or not?) But they’ve become more about money and profit than anything else now. I saw a used horribly stained loveseat there the other day for $200!
I work in child welfare and I am sure your local child welfare agency would be able to give them to local families. It would be especially nice for the kids things you have. Thanks for the chance!
I’m watching a movie from netflix on my computer tonight. I love the on demand movies.
Schwan’s man is supposed to come today–not sure I want to order anything.
I love their Peppermint Ice Cream (only at Christmas time), there bow tie w/veggie medley is good too.
I also like their French Toast Sticks for the kiddos, and also their Pierogies. MMMMM!!

I don’t think we have the schwan’s man in our area. sounds yummy, though
My DH went to whole foods to get our pizza and salad. their pizzas are yummy!
Its almost getting warm here today…almost! My kids are so anxious to get to go to the park when it gets warmer!
I’d love to take a vacation somewhere warm right now. I usually like winter but this year it seems like it will never end.
Our winter hasn’t been that bad thankfully–I would still like Spring to come.

How many comments do you think we will actually get on here?
Sadly this weekend I really won’t get to comment very much.
The house is clean the car is packed and I’m ready!! 2hour drive and then I will be back
I only have a few minutes and then I have to go prep all the pizza toppings for dinner
Sounds like some one is having trouble getting up the hill outside. The snow is really building up on the road. Hope the plow comes through soon.
Pizza Toppings for tonight pepperoni, cheese, peppers, olives, and fresh tomatoes on top. MMMM!!
Our little town is the worst when it snows, nothing ever gets plowed.
Maybe all this snow will mean a really nice summer this year.
It’s Friday Night, and the Mood is Right, Gonna Have Some Fun, Show you How it’s done TGIF!!
Did anybody watch TGIF on Friday nights growing up: Full House, Family Matters, Step By Step etc.
I would hug my boss if he would just come tell me to take the day off tomorrow. I’m tired of six day work weeks and no time to rest. I leave work and go home to my ‘other’ full time job. In desperate need of a real vacation.
They are pretty good about plowing but nothing is flat her so it doesn’t take much to make it hard to get around.
Ok, we are done eating and hubby just walked in the door
Maybe I’ll make a trip to the library Saturday. I could use some new reading material.
I get a Girls Night Out on Saturday was going to see Dear John and now it is not showing.
We are going to finally go see New Moon instead. It is even at the $1 theater–SWEET!!
If it clears up we might try to make it to the dog park this weekend.
I love Etsy!! I find the cutest things on there.
Great 30+ MPH winds on top of all the snow.
Hopefully the power won’t go out.
maybe I’ll make a big pot of soup tommorow

Just let my boys dress up in their super hero costumes……too cute!
I love when my girls play dress-up. Always so FUN!!
Alrighty off to make pizza and movie night with my girlies.
Gosfam, my daughter and I went to see New Moon when it first came out, and we enjoyed it. We’ve also read the books. She’s read more than I have but I hardly have time for quiet reading.
It’s 7:00 p.m over here and I’m already sleepy.
I’m sleepy too!
I should shovel the walk but I think I’ll wait. Maybe this wind will take care of some of it.
We’re done with dinner, the whole foods pizzas were so yummy!!!! All vegetables, we’re trying to watch what we eat. but still yummy!
my daughter and i have also read all the books in the series, shes seen both movies i have only seen the first one
I LOVE homemade soup! What kind do you make?
no talking about being tired its like when someone calls and yawns!
I probably shouldn’t was a scary movie so late but what the heck.
I haven’t seen new moon yet but I really want too.
sure i need help with tweeting an someone who does it comes in here and i was out of here, grrrlll
just my luck!
I have tons of shows on the DVR to catch up on. Should be a good quiet night for me! 😉
My kids LOVE tortilla soup but they ask me to make it so often that now I’m tired of eating it for a while!
has anyone ever had trouble getting sites to accept your email address? i have so much trouble,and i have made like 15 accounts and they wont accept any of them , but they will on my boyfriends computer, i have to have him sign me up cause my computer wont take , just keeps saying invalid email address, i am really getting aggravated about it

Out into the cold and snow to walk the dog.
There loss is someones gain.
my daughter wants to bake this weekend. yikes, I’m trying to lose a few pounds…
Everytime I walk by my computer–I have the urge to check-in and comment. I am addicted 🙂
I’m really hoping for a relaxing night after this crazy week.
I don’t mind the cold sooo much but weeks without any sun gets old.
I saw the first Twilight and read all the books, so I am ready to see New Moon since I heard it was way better then the first movie.
Traci–what exactly do you need help with on twitter?
I volunteer with at a local organization. We hold food and toy drives, along with doing service projects such as cleaning the park trails.
My daughter can’t wait for the third one to come out and yes, neither can I. It’s our mother/daughter thing. I have 5 sons and only one daughter, so its nice to do things alone, just us girls.
I tweeted http://twitter.com/cstironkat/status/9706765843
Good luck, everyone.
I do think New Moon was better than the first movie. Jacob definitely is alot hotter! Shhhh, don’t let my hubby know…hee hee
I volunteer with a local dog rescue group. We are having a trivia night to raise funds.
Good luck to you, too, Kelly!
Our dog group takes donations and we have a garage sale with the stuff. We also put new stuff together and make raffle baskets with it.
Santa’s Helpers take small stuff and uses it for stocking stuffers. We give each child in the family a stocking. I won earring last week and I will be donating them.
tweet http://twitter.com/drellis500/status/9706895984
I wonder how many entries there’ll end up being. I’m bummed I won’t be able to comment much tomorrow and sunday. weekends are crazy.
Alright, I am going to spend some time with the hubby and the kids. I may get back on later once the little ones are settled down. If not, maybe tomorrow.

I love samaritan’s purse for the christmas boxes they send all over the world. we always make one for each child in our family to fill and send. Its awesome.
We always donate to The Arc Foundation – they pick-up at the house

I cannot believe that all these are unclaimed. Hopefully the will be claimed this time.
I know sometimes the emails that get sent out don’t make into the box. I always check spam but sometimes it doesn’t make it there either.
I’ve won and never recieved the email.
plows still haven’t run yet. Must really be behind tonight.
I hope that those that are getting pounded with snow get some relief soon. This winter seems to be worse than normal.
I LOVE the prizes in this giveaway!
my kids want a dog…I’m so not ready to take on more responsibilities!!! 😉
I know I’d end up being the one taking care of the dog! :0
I’d get a cat but I’m super allergic to them.
why do I do laundry every day but never ever catch up???? I don’t get it! lol!
I wanna take a vacation somewhere warm…or even partly warm! My kids want to go to disney world!
i LOVE LOVE LOVE disney world and disney land! Fun! I think more than my kids!

We had fish for dinner tonight. The Catholic church up the street makes the best fish during Lenten season.
We’re supposed to get more snow this week. blah. i’m sick of snow.
Am going to try to finish this movie tonight.
GO USA, we have had some great Olympic moments this year. Shawn White was fantastic. My favorite was our gold in Snowboard cross.
Has anyone else been watching?
Maybe I’ll make some popcorn to go with the movie.
The kiddos are trying to pic out a movie to watch while we eat. Not going to well.
I’m a big fan of Good Will and other Thrift Shops where you can find great bargains and know your money is going to help other people 🙂

My sister suggested I visit them in TX to get a break from the lovely winter weather.
I would just settle for a couple of hours of sun.
We like to donate our used items to Deseret Industries, a thrift store program run through our church. They not only help those in need with the proceeds, but provide employment and training opportunities to many.
I started my tomato and pepper seeds this week. I’ll start the herbs next.
THe local food closets are also a good place to donate. They often need items other than food, hygiene items like deodorant, tooth brushes, etc.
i have too much snow to think about starting seeds. 🙂 i’m having a hard time getting excited about gardening this year. The weight of the snow broke the glass on my coldframes, and covered my beautiful spinach in broken glass. 🙁

Does anyone have dogs or cats on here?
I am doing a FURminator giveaway and review on my blog next week. I am anxious to see how well the tool works for de-shedding.
I can’t wait till it is warm enough to plant my lettuce.
i have two cats. i’ve heard the FURminator is awesome.
I have two Alaskan Malamutes I could use the furminator. What blog
I have a dog. I don’t have a furminator but I know several people who do and they love them.
oh wow I would love to win
I have never won a blog giveaway
Do you plant anything else such as corn or cucumbers?
I like donating to the Salvation army
My blog is: http://rantsravesandpetpeeves.blogspot.com.
I have a wolf hybrid who is part malamute and two pomeranians, so I hope it WORKS GREAT!!
i have/had lettuce growing under plastic frames. Not sure it has survived, it’s been so dang cold this year. i can usually grow spinach , lettuce, kale and sometimes chard all winter. This year, i’d be surprised if anything is alive under the snow.
I havent been entering blog giveaways at the moment because they all end in march and I wont be here, I am going on Vacation for the whole month of march but this ends on the 1st and I will still be here
I will be going to Bolivia with my family. My kids are so excited.
Keep trying Melissa! If you keep entering them, you’ll win one eventually!
Im excited to go but I wont be able to go on the computer for 3 weeks lol
It would be so cool if I won this giveaway.
We can’t grow anything outside in the winter. I just try to have everything ready to go out as soon as I can in the spring. Our Frost free data isn;t till mid April.
Glad to hear the FURminator works I have a wolf hybrid that is a malamute mix and 2 pomeranians so I need help.
Great Giveaway thank you
i bet you’ll have a great time, and won’t miss the computer at all.
Melissa don’t give-up. Just luck of the draw. You will win SOON!!
Dum de Dum de Dum–I really am wasting too much time on here.
Even if I dont comment much I visit and read your blog daily. Your kids are such cuties.
My frost free date isn’t until April 14th, but cold crops still do pretty well all winter..especially if you cover them. i try to stretch my growing season as much as possible. 🙂
i’m multi-tasking…doing other computer work, just coming back to throw out the occasional comment. hee hee. 🙂
entering this for my daughter- she wants the Webkinz bad!!!!
webkinz pls…….
daughter is over my shoulder drooling at the thought of winning a webkinz

Thanks Tree, yes I probably wont miss it at all we are gonna have fun i know.
We have weather down to the single digits in the winter and can get snow as late as April (not usual but can happen) so I am out of luck with winter crops.
Try a basic cold frame, i bet you could still grow some leafy greens. Our winters are usually pretty mild…but not this one. This year has really sucked.
Ooh gonna go watch apolo ohno for a bit!
This year has sucked weatherwise. Winter seems to just keep hanging on. The temperature has been below average most of the winter and if it not snowing, we get freezing rain. YUCK
Tomorrow I’m painting the bedrooms in the house. I do edges and my husband rolls. I won two of those wall decals and I want to put them up.

I finally figured out the ge commercial song, it was really bugging me. The kid is in the doctors office and the doctor sticks in a tongue depressor and then there is a whole bunch of people singing with no words.
The song is Ode To Joy
Last trip out into the snow for tonight. Nothing like walking the dog in a snow storm.
I am so frustrated with my daughter’s hair. I took her yesterday for her first haircut, and it is awful. One side is so much short then the other.
The two charities I donate to are Childrens International and RAINN (Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network). I don’t know if they take items but they are both wonderful programs.
Have to find time tomorrow to go back to the salon and hopefully the same girl isn’t there–so they can fix it.

i think i’m heading to bed in a few minutes. You ladies have fun!

Wow, there are a lot of comments on here! It’s disappointing that so many prizes haven’t been claimed!
Kelly I hope so too. It makes me sad because it was so long and cute, and I decided I was going to have it trimmed to make it healthier and they slaughtered it.
I’ve heard really great things about the Soldier of Love CD!

If no one has done so yet, may I recommend Haven of Rest? They’re a very good organization that my family donates to, and they take many types of items, including food and clothing, etc. Not sure if they will take shipments, though…might only be in person, and I’m not sure where you live.
Another possibility is The Cat House on the Kings. Watch this video to see why. (It’s an adorable video with many cute kitties.) They mostly need items for cats and cash, though.
I recommend checking out all charity options strictly in your area. Always nice to help in your community.
I can’t get over the Webkinz Jr. My girls would LOVE me to win that.
Would love the Sudoko game with the Gorton’s giveaway too.
Plus I love Sara Lee Products, and would really use those coupons.
