          Pay It Forward Giveaway! 2 $10 Target Gift Cards

          It's raining hearts (365/351)


          I was the grateful winner and recipient of the Pay It Forward giveaway over at Paige's blog, Some Days You Gotta Dance! I actually loved the idea, because it gives us a chance to say thanks to the many sponsors and bloggers who put out time and money to host giveaways.  And  the  people who publicize the giveaways by tweeting and posting on their blogs are also very much appreciated!  So in that spirit, comes my Pay It Forward Giveaway. 

          Paige went to a lot of trouble when she sent me my gift.  Inside the Priority Mail box were some beautifully tissue wrapped items which were: some darling stationary items, a bag of jelly belly's (20 flavors), a Burt's Bees chapstick and some peppermint sticks!  Thanks so much, Paige, I really love my gifts!

          Now one of the requirements for entering this giveaway is that you commit to also host your own Pay It Forward giveaway, should you be the winner!  There must  two winners and you can pick whatever you want to give. Well, today I am doing just that!

          I am giving 2 Pay It Forward Giveaway winners a $10 Target Gift Card!  That's right, if you are chosen to continue this Pay It Forward chain going with whatever gifts you decide to give, you will receive a $10 Target gift card.  You can use it to help fund your own Pay It Forward giveaway if you'd like.  Seriously, have you won any giveaways?  Have you loved it?  So, why not Pay It Forward? Here's what you can do to enter (leave a separate comment for each one): 

          First entry is the mandy (mandatory):
          • Follow Dickssportcmo on Twitter and Tweet this: "@dickssportcmo I nominate @xocaisgood for the #startinglineup because she loves you!"     (Can be done once daily, for 1 extra entry each time)  Leave your Tweet link!   
          • Tell me why you'd like to do a Pay It Forward Giveaway

          • Blog about this giveaway with a link back here and also leave me the link that you posted. (3 extra entries)

          This giveaway ends on 3/31/10 at 12:00 PM MST.  Winner will be selected with random.org and will be notified via e-mail (so please make sure I have that, either in your profile or left in your comment) and will be mailed the gift certificate via US mail with delivery confirmation!  Good luck to everyone and let's Pay It Forward!

                Cute Little Nephews And A Cool Wii Game

                Today I visited my sister and her two adorable little boys.  We had some fun in the sun and since Harrison's 4th birthday will be this next Monday, I thought this Wii Game would be fun to give him.  It was a big sacrifice, because I would sure like to play each and every one of these fun games. It's the Wii Winter Fun Edition with 30 excellent games.  These games are all based on the Olympics.  Harrison watched the Olympics with his family and he knows all about it!  I actually won this game over at Suburb Sanity, an excellent secondary blog for Debbie, who has another awesome blog by the same name about her crazy, fun life as a Mom of 4 kids and marriage of almost 20 years to her husband.  It really is an incredible blog.  Stop by if you get a chance!

                Hey, I've got an idea.  I can play the game over at Harrison's place and he can show his Aunt Helena all the cool stuff he can do with it. And when I get a Wii I will already have some games I actually know how to play!

                And here's a bonus for you!  Harrison's little brother, Carter, who is so darn cute I want to grab him and just squeeze him! He calls his big brother, Hehwisee!  He needs to do everything that Harrison does, so he'll probably be right there, helping Harrison play his new game!

                Green Ruby Designs Giveaway Winner

                I'm excited to announce the winner, selected by Random.org, of the Green Ruby Designs Giveaway!  It is #31, Natalie, from The Adventures Of Paul and Natalie!  Yay, she has entered all of my giveaways and she's got a great blog going on, so I'm very happy that she got it!  Thanks to all who entered. 

                I've got two giveaways coming shortly and just need to set them up.  It's hard sitting at the computer on gorgeous days like today, isn't it? I don't have a laptop and am kind of glad I don't b/c when I'm away from the PC, I want to be AWAY!  Did you know that blogging is very fattening?  It sure is!  So for right now, I'm signing off to go work my bootie out 'cause spring is right around the corner!  Now if I can just wake up with this new daylight saving time schedule.  I want to sleep in far too long!
