i STILL want to buy your love: superfantastic blog giveaway!

time for shameless self-promotion again and a chance to flush some blurkers out of the bushes--i had so much fun last month checking to see who had entered each day, that i'm making this a monthly deal. with it being time for april showers to bring may flowers, i thought these faux tulip and planted bulb arrangements (oh-so-fake and easy to care for, of course) would be just what the doctor ordered. for those of you who spit on flower arrangements, i have included a $15 i-tunes gift card.
so, here's how it works: please submit a 250 word essay on why you feel you would be worthy of winning, along with a $20.00 "processing" fee and all of your personal bank account information, social security and driver's license numbers, etc.


okay, not really--just leave a comment, and if you don't have a blogger id, just leave an anonymous comment with your name and state and you're in the running! BONUS: if you further enable my self-promotion by giving it a shout out on your blog, you get 2 entries. not a requirement, but rather an incentive. i would love everyone and anyone to get in on this sweet action--btw, have i mentioned that i will ship this anywhere?? that is my level of commitment to this relationship, people!
this will end at midnight on april 20th and the lucky-ducky winner will be posted on monday the 21st.
LET'S DO THIS !

I know... it would be greedy to win again. So, this is not an entry, but a compliment on your decision to do monthly giveaways. In a couple of months, you can count me back in the running.

Mindi said...

Jori said...

Whoohoo! You are a royal babe! Although I was hoping a 4 hook bra would be up for grabs too.

Stephanie M said...

I wish I had been with you to try to get into the VIP lounge. I'm usually all by myself when I try stuff like that. The key is to ACT LIKE YOU BELONG THERE.

Becky, yep said...

Back off Ladies...It's mine - Cuz - I'm gonna hold Mindi's hand at my tattoo parlor...Right, Mindi?!?!?

Misty said...

That's funny that you should do a blog giveaway on the same day that you win a super-fantastic prize on my blog: http://toddmistybarry.wordpress.com/2008/04/07/drumroll-please/

Check it out!

You get to choose from three different warmers, Floral Garden, Cornicopia & a Santa warmer. I will try and send you the pictures of the warmers soon.

The other thing is that I know you live in St. George, so maybe if Tib is heading down there this weekend, she and I can meet up and she can deliver it for me, if the two of you are going to meet up.

Joellen said...

I'm in

Malea Ellett said...

I'm so in!! I missed the last one, gosh, I need to check you out every day or I miss something!

Mindi said...

yeah, malea--try to keep up.

actually, it's lame the amount of useless crap i want to put on here, but it makes me content, so i don't fight the feeling any longer.

Holly H. said...

My last post is all yours baby! :)

Megal said...

that purple flower arrangement would compliment the one you gave me for my birthday considering they were separated at birth!

Jod Jas Curtis said...

Erica Onelove said...

You'll pick me if you know what's good for you.

Omgirl said...

I can't even call myself a real blurker because so far I have only blurked once or twice, and I think I may have shown myself the last time you did a giveaway. BUT I will say this: I might not have come out and made a comment if it hadn't been for the fact that a really cool song was playing on your blog when I went to it today. Unfortunately, the song changed before I could see what it was. Darn. I normally mute blog music (as I can't read and listen at the same time), but I left it on. That's how good the song was.

Kristi said...

Word to your mutha, for real! I know I don't "know" you, but I heart you anyways...

Candy said...

I am in like Flynn. Wait, what the heck does that even mean? And who is Flynn? Anyway, add me!!!!!

Steph said...

I am becoming a regular blog stalker to this "flippin' sweet" blog as well! I found you when you left me a comment a while back! I love how random and fun your blog is. I totally agree with your most recent "waaaaaambuance" (a term we lovingly use at our house as well) post. I am fairly new to blogging and am still trying to find my voice and a happy medium with it, but I love it! Thanks for your great insight! (oh and p.s. fake flowers are my favorite. . .pick me!)

Stephanie said...

OK, I'm a blurker, count me in! I found your blog through Tiburon :) Love your sense of humor.

Hacking it up said...

OH!!! OH!!! PICK ME!!! PICK ME!!!!

All y'all (that's Texan for you) bloggers that do giveaways are awesome...I wish I would do that...I suck a little...perhaps i can be inspired!:)

kourtney said...

Crap...you caught me. You crack me up! Caylor and Amy's sis-in-law here, Kourtney. I used to be Amy's only sis-in-law, but Bren had to go and get married again. Anyway, great giveaway. I recognize that girl up above in the gray photo from designmom giveaways. Your blog is getting "big league".
