blogosphere generosity
Posted in blogging perks, contests and tagged with blog contests, books, giveaways on 01/20/2008 02:41 pm by GraceTo celebrate the great bloggy move and the new look, Michelle of Bleeding Espresso is having a contest! Bleeding Espresso is an intriguing name for a blog and you will know the reason behind it in one of her favorite posts: A blog by any other name. I think her blog name is cool and something that sticks to mind.
Back to the contest, one lucky winner will receive $30 gift certificate from Amazon. Check out her new blog (if you haven’t already) and celebrate with her!

Speaking of contests, I have recently won not one but two great books over at Puss Reboots. Thanks to Sarah who will be sending me a copy of Four Wives and How Big Is Your God? I can’t wait for the books to arrive. Thanks for the generosity and the opportunity to win these books.
Thanks also to Elaine of Blog in my Eye for giving me a copy of Toddler’s Busy Book during Fall Y’all Great Bloggy Giveaway contest. Sorry this took me so long to mention it here. The book is a must have for people with kids.

Since I have learned that one can be quite lucky and actually win stuff in the blogosphere, I am trying my luck again and enter contests. You will never win if you just dream, right?
There are lots of places to find great giveaways and contests, not limited to books all over the net. Some of my favorites are Laura Williams Musings, An Island Review and Contest Beat.
… and for my other addiction aside from books, here’s a chance to win 3 months of chocolate supply! Since I am on a diet and aiming to be on my fighting form until our vacation in summer, I won’t be participating (who am I kidding). All you need to do is drop your comment before January 31st and you are in the draw! Do share some chocs if you win, ok?

Oh by the way, have you entered in my first contest to win a new blog design? Don’t miss the chance to win a blog makeover courtesy of RS Designs. I wish I can participate and win because I badly need a new theme but since I can’t, I hope one of you gets the new look for free!

(locked out of posting on my blog but I found out a way to still share the contests on my blog - it won’t show up in a feed reader or via email if you sub’d to my blog, so stop by daily to get the contests until I can get unlocked)
