Thanks Mail Carrier has great giveaways!

I love entering giveaways, and Thanks Mail Carrier has some of the best giveaways around. I'm entered in three of their current giveaways:




Thanks Mail Carrier is partnering with Clean It Supply to give away a case of Final Touch Fabric Softener, valued at $25.  The fine folks at Thanks Mail Carrier report that Clean It Supply has an extensive line of products to keep our house clean and running smoothly... without breaking the bank. Everything from laundry products to cleaning supplies (and everything in between) can be found in one place and delivered in bulk right to your front door for less.  Click here to enter this giveaway, which closes on October 7.

Thanks Mail Carrier and Hellman's Chicken Challenge are giving away a $25 Visa Pre-paid Gift Card to one lucky reader.

According to Thanks Mail Carrier,  Hellmann's is on a mission to help break us (and you!) out of our dinner menu repetitiveness with the kickoff of the Hellman's Chicken Challenge.  Plus, right on Hellmanns.com, you can enter into a weekly sweepstakes for a chance to win one of four $250 grocery gift cards... or, if more than 10,000 entries are received that week, the value of the grocery gift cards will double to $500. That could sure buy a whole lot of groceries... so go cast your vote and then enjoy your tasty meal!  Hurry on over and enter.  Entries close for this giveaway on October 13.

I have never owned a pot especially for making pasta, so when I saw that Thanks Mail Carrier and Bialetti were giving away a Bialetti Pasta Pot, I knew I just had to enter!  It would be so convenient to have a pot with a strainer right in the lid.

Thanks Mail Carrier states that the Pasta Pot is  available in three great colors - Purple Passion, Orange Spice and Blue Cheer, the size is 5 quarts and retail value is $35.  Click here to enter.  Entries end for this giveaway on October 20.

Three Giveaways Worth Entering

I love to enter giveaways and I love to make lists, so today I want to share my list of three giveaways that you should consider entering:

Dawn's Great Finds is hosting a giveaway for a $50 gift card to Mixed Bag Designs.  These bags would make great gifts for Christmas and the sizes and types of bags available is just amazing.  Don't take my word for how great the bags are, just click Mixed Bag Designs to see for yourself.  The giveaway ends on 10/2/11 at midnight.

 

The Dirty tShirt is partnering with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! to give away a coupon for a free tub of  I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!, a bright yellow Dualit Toaster and a Tiffany & Co. Butter Spreader.  Wow!  Who wouldn't want to win this!  I know I do!  The giveaway ends on 9/30/11 at midnight.

Mom and More is hosting a giveaway with Dremmel for a Dremmel Multi-Max.  My husband would love to have this and I'd love to win it for him.  This little tool can do it all, and comes with attachments, batteries and a case to carry it all in.  The giveaway ends on 10/5/11.


Hurry on over and visit these blogs to enter for your chance to win.

GOOD LUCK!

Praying for rain ...

The thermometer on our patio says 110 again...

 We are still suffering from triple digit temperatures daily, and the weather man is predicting more of the same, with no rain in sight.  The newspaper reported today that this summer will go on record as the hottest in Oklahoma history, and that agriculture drought damage nears $2 billion.  Please join us as we pray for rain and an end to this terrible drought.

What's left of our pond.  It used to cover several acres and was very deep.

Thank You's:  First and foremost, I want to thank Sally at In My Opinion for choosing my entry to win the Sand Gone giveaway.  I'm looking forward to sharing the product with my kids when they make their annual trip to the beach next summer. THANK YOU!

Giveaways entered:  Some of the giveaways I enter give extra entries if you "blog" about their giveaway.  Its another way to get the word out for their giveaway, and for you to find out about great giveaways you may have missed.

Two Classy Chics: Bamboo Towel Giveaway (2 winners) (ends September 12)  Enter to win a 3pc set of Bamboo Towels from Bamboo Forever.  I had no idea that towels could be made from bamboo.  Be sure to visit Two Classy Chics and Bamboo Forever to learn about these amazing towels.

The Dirty t Shirt: Microsoft Office 2010 giveaway (ends September 13)  Enter to win a license to download Microsoft Office 2010.  Words cannot express how badly I would love to win this!

Thanks Mail Carrier:  Niagara Spray Starch Giveaway (ends September 19) Enter to win a case of 6 bottles of non-aerosol Niagara Spray Starch from CleanItSupply.com.  Clean It Supply sells any kind of cleaning supply you can imagine, from home to industrial strength.  If you can't find a particular cleaning supply here, you probably won't be able to find it anywhere.
 
In my mailbox:  My mailbox has been pretty empty lately, but yesterday I received a treat.  I'm a BzzAgent, and my first Bzz Campaign is John Grisham's book "The Confession."  As a BzzAgent, I am to read the book and share my thoughts on it.  I'll be reading the book this weekend, so be sure to watch for my post about it.

John Grisham

 I'm also participating in the BzzAgent Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security campaign.  I received a one year subscription to Trend Titanium Maximum Security to download to my computer.  This is an all-in-one program to "protect my digital life."  I'm still evaluating the program and will let you know what I think about it soon.

What is a BzzAgent?  Bzz Agents are sent products from top brands and we try them out.  Then we share our opinion of the product every way we can - by word of mouth, social media, blogs, you name it.  The program is totally free and we get to keep the products sent to us.

Disclosure:  I was sent a John Grisham book and a download of Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security free of charge, in return for sharing my honest opinion about the product.  No other compensation was provided.







 

Giveaways

This has certainly been a summer to remember.  Our area has been in an extreme drought since last October, and we have been trapped under the "heat dome" all summer.  We've endured temperatures of 100 degrees or more for over 50 days, and most days, my trusty thermometer has registered 110 degrees.

As farmers, our livelihood is directly affected by the amount of rain we receive and the temperature.  Too much heat and not enough rain, and soon our ponds and pastures dry up.  So many in our area have had to sell their cattle herds because the cattle have nothing to eat or drink.  We're holding on, trying to make it until the drought is over.  But if it doesn't rain soon...and I mean SOON, we will be joining the other farmers and ranchers at the local sale barn and dispersing our herd.
