Karma Cards Giveaway

I was having a pretty bad day. No, make that a pretty bad week. I cried today and yesterday and the day before. I'm a mess right now. Struggling with some things and trying to work through them.

Anyway, I was looking through my Google reader hoping for something to cheer me up a little bit and came across this blog where the author is giving away Karma Cards. Have you heard of them? No? Neither had I. Well, they are cards with inspirational photos on them and a short inspirational message. The point is to leave the cards in a spot where someone else would find them and be cheered up by them. Say, for example, in a book at the library, on a seat in the bus or in a lecture hall, under someone's car wiper, or any place you want.

Oh, Mishka got the idea from Yes and Yes who came up with the idea.

So, one lucky reader from Oh, Mishka will receive 15 Karma Cards of their very own! Just go here to enter. Or, if you can't wait, you can print off Karma Cards by yourself, here.

And, yes, I felt a little cheered up.

Peanut Butter

I love peanut butter. It's true. I love it even better knowing that it doesn't have any added sugar.

My former bishop owns a company that makes peanut butter in Dublin, Ohio. Recently, The Today Show featured Crazy Richard's Peanut Butter. Crazy Richard's is natural and organic. It is made with just peanuts! I've never tried Crazy Richard's Peanut Butter but I have had other "natural" varieties- even though they weren't made with just peanuts. I'm excited to try Crazy Richard's!

Here is the link for Krema Peanut Butter Company. And here is the blog where they are having a free peanut butter giveaway. Enjoy the peanut buttery goodness!

Being Frugal is Fabulous giveaway

I love this blog! She gives such good ways to be frugal and sends such great deals for groceries and other things. This week she has a giveaway for a Betty Crocker gift basket.

How do you win? Good question... Go here to comment and enter for your chance to win!

Here are the rules that she gives:

"Leave a comment telling me what your favorite kitchen gadget is. My favorite would have to be my cheap plastic mixing spoons from Walmart. I am always melting them, but I hate using wooden spoons, so I could not live without them. A close second would be the new metal measuring cups that came with the gift basket. I always buy plastic ones because they are cheaper, and the numbering always rubs off and you don’t know what size you are using!

For extra entries, do any of the following and then leave me a separate comment for each extra entry letting me know what you have done for extra entries.
1. Follow me on Twitter and then Tweet about this giveaway.
2. Subscribe to my blog. Already a subscriber? Just let me know.
3. Blog about this giveaway and leave me a link to your post.

This giveaway is open from today, May 5th to Tuesday, May 12th at 1:00 pm, Pacific Time and is open to US residents only. Winner will be chosen using random.org. If the winner does not respond within 3 days, a new winner will be chosen."

A Giveaway...

If you go to this website: http://thecreativemama.com/?p=322 she is giving away cute bags and you will be entered to win if you leave a comment with your best move-in tip. It ends on Saturday, February 28th though. Hope you win!
