My 1st Giveaway - $50 Amazon.com Gift Certificate!


THE GIVEAWAY IS OVER!

Thanks to all of you who visited my blog and entered and left such wonderful comments. I really have enjoyed reading them all. This morning though, I'm feeling a bit lonely. Are you all "commented out" from all the Bloggy Carnival giveaways or what? Come on folks, stay for a bit (I know you came to find out the winner) and look around. Leave a comment on some of the other posts so it's not so lonely here at my online world LOL!

Now for what you came for, the winner of the $50 Amazon.com gift certificate is......

Karen G. from Phoenix!
Karen said she is going to start trying a new hobby or two now that her son is going off to school so she doesn't miss him so much during the day. She said the gift certificate would be used to buy books about whatever she decides to try first. Congratulations Karen!

MORE GIVEAWAYS TO COME!
Here are a few others to keep you busy until my new one starts

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I've been having fun entering all the blog giveaways so I thought I would do one of my own. No sponsors on this one, just me, myself, and I handing out the prize. So here we go!

The Prize is a $50 Amazon.com Gift Certificate!
(This is US dollars and will be sent via email)

Enter by 11:59pm (Central Time) on Friday, August 1, 2008

Winner will be selected randomly from all eligible entries and then posted here and contacted by email.

Ways you can enter:
  1. Leave a comment on this post telling me 1 positive thing about your day today. Limit one entry only using this method.
    If you do not have your email in your profile then you must leave it in your comment so I have a way to contact you.

  2. Extra Entry Method #1 - Have your own blog? Then blog about my giveaway and leave another comment with the direct link to the post. This is worth 2 entries!

  3. Extra Entry Method #2 - Leave a comment on any of my other posts here on my blog. The comment must have some substance though - not just "hi" or "I agree". Add your own thoughts, opinions, ideas, similar experience, etc. You will receive 1 extra entry for each comment you leave (only 1 comment per post will count though). This means every time I post something new you could get another entry if you leave a comment about it (plus all the posts I've already made!)
IMPORTANT - No Automated Entries! You can only enter for yourself and can't use multiple emails, identities, names, etc. You can't enter on behalf of others. I really want just the people coming to the blog to enter - that's kind of the point.

I think that covers it. Hope you like the prize and good luck!

I got a cute haircut today. Made me feel good.

djolsen610 7/18/08 9:36 PM  

I am new to blogging and you have taught me everything I know.
My most positive and exciting thing today was I picked my first zuchinni. I am a zuchinni freak!
My outside dripping water faucet got fixed today.
actually since I retired and started sweeping all my days are positive.
And for all you do Robyn, for everyone I am positive that your first giveaway will be a success

A good thing happened today. I was able to 'talk down' someone who was having a bad day at her work. That made me feel good.

quitecontrary1977 7/18/08 10:20 PM  

I went for a nice walk with my friend and baby. I love being outside!

Wendy 7/18/08 10:21 PM  

I took an awesome picture of the moon. It was o'dark:30 in the morning but it still was today I guess so that makes it something cool and good that happened in my life today. Check it out on my blog.

Thanks for the contest Robyn. Love the 3-column layout.

Amy S. 7/19/08 8:47 AM

judygr64 7/19/08 9:26 AM  

My day started very nice today. My husband and I walked our two dogs. Since we live in a very hot climate, if we don't get them out early, it's too hot for the dogs (and us!). Starting our day this way makes a big difference in how we feel all day.

Thanks for sponsoring the giveaway.

NM Lady 7/19/08 10:35 AM  

Saturday is always a good day because my husband cooks breakfast which gives me a leisurely morning.

My day was good because I woke up to a phone call from my daughter (age 12) who is visiting her grandmother out of state.

I'm enjoying your blog, and I'm headed over to check out your other posts. I love Amazon.com!

Sonya 7/19/08 12:41 PM  

My day started on a positive note by getting to sleep in a little late. I've been super busy all week and it has totally worn me out. So, sleeping in, even if it was 45 minutes is a blessing. Thanks for the chance to win :)

I caught a ride to the farmers' market with a neighbour this morning (because I don't drive and my family is away right now). It was a fun trip, and it's nice to have neighbours who will help with things like that.

Jill 7/19/08 2:31 PM  

I didn't feel like going out for lunch, so my husband brought a bagel and smoothie home for me. :)

Jacqueline in Atlanta 7/19/08 3:17 PM  

Today's good thing: I went yardsaling with my daughter. We have not done that at all this summer bec gas is four stinkin buck a gallon and I drive an SUV. But she goes to college this fall and was looking for some things for her dorm room. She found a bread machine for $3 and was ecstatic. My best deal: spending the day with my daughter - priceless!

Thanks for having the giveaway!

LeeAnn P. 7/19/08 4:45 PM

Today my two dear golden retrievers and I took the best walk in the best weather--and we appreciated so many things along the way--each of us, probably, for different reasons--but still--great appreciation ! Many thanks for this wonderful drawing & site.

socialwork4kids 7/19/08 8:55 PM  

Unfortunately, my one year old was sick today. The good thing that came out of the day was that I got to cuddle her ALL day. She rarely sits still long enough for that anymore so I cherished the day! Hopefully she's back to herself tomorrow...but for today...I loved spending time with her.

We had a beautiful evening RVing in La Veta, Colorado. With clear skies and a full moon, we were treated to a minute siting of the International Space Station. Isn't it remarkable that 3 astronauts are 220 miles above us and traveling at 17,500 miles per hour? jtilton7 at yahoo dot com

I will do my stretching and weight video today. It will make the kinks in my body go away. I can actually feel the knots leave my back when I do certain stretches. I think everyone should find a channel on the television, I use CPTV and do some stretching to start your day.

BlueWorkhorse 7/21/08 5:41 AM  

My day was good because my baseball team won and because I've been a full-time pitcher (that doesn't bat) for the last 4 years or so and have recently had to stop pitching due to shoulder trouble, but I've started to catch some and got my first hit today in like 4 years.

Just one positive thing about my day....would have to be that I am a child of God! What else do you need?

gratefulsoul at hotmail.com

Kimberly 7/21/08 9:30 AM  

My day has been positive so far because of the good things I have done. I donated a huge pile of workbooks to a special ed teacher for his class. I rescued a worm that was struggling on a hot side walk (I picked him up and moved him in the shade in a patch of dirt). And my daughter got some hand me down T-shirts from a friend and she's on CLOUD NINE!!!!

All these things made my day positive because it makes me feel GREAT when I can do something nice for others and make other people happy and smile.

Shan 7/21/08 9:37 AM  

The most positive thing about my day so far has been having no plans. The girls are still in their jammies and playing with the world's largest collection of little people. The weather is miserable outside and it seems like the perfect do nothing day.

gunzie 7/21/08 9:48 AM  

Well, it's 7:45 in the morning and my day's already great!! I've been browsing the pictures I took of the kids yesterday in the garden while they were playing and I have to tell you, I have the cutest, most beautiful kids!!! My day's off to a good start!!

My baby woke up an hour early today, but my husband got up to change his diaper and then the baby fell right back to sleep - Mommy got to sleep thru the whole thing!

Lilith Silvermane 7/21/08 9:55 AM  

The best thing about my day, is one of my favorite things about everyday.

Bath time with the three youngest girls. They love bathtime together, we had a great breeze through the bathroom window, and I love bundling them up afterwards, and putting on their lotion. It's a great ritual and one I look forward to!

Naomi 7/21/08 9:55 AM  

the baby slept in 'til 7:15, so it was a good way to start the day! much better than 5am!!!

Elisa Perkins 7/21/08 9:56 AM

Katelaird 7/21/08 10:06 AM

One of the best things that have happened so far for me is that my 12 month old grabbed my cheeks and tried to kiss me. It was cute and he is my last baby so everything is special and bittersweet.

Panjo Kids 7/21/08 10:09 AM  

The best thing about my day today was waking up in my 2 year olds bed and having him snuggle up close to me while we both groggily woke up.

Cecilia 7/21/08 10:13 AM  

What a nice giveaway! The nicest thing about my day is that I think today (or someday very soon) I'll be having my first baby. It's hard to say for sure, but I have a very good feeling about today! (smeelia at gmail dot com)

Actually I've had a pretty bad day lol. My laptop fell on the floor, thankfully it still works, the girls have been fighting off and on....ugh, so if I could let you know one good part of my day so far, I guess it would be that my laptop is still alive lol.

Thanks!

I got all of my housecleaning done, the kids cleaned their rooms without griping, and hubby said, Hey Beautiful," when he called me at lunch. I feel like the luckiest woman alive today!

jag 7/21/08 11:30 AM  

The best thing about my day? My husband brought me breakfast in bed. Woo Hoo!

Christian Kay 7/21/08 11:38 AM  

So far? Well Hubs just called and asked me out to lunch. I declined because I am not feeling well but he doesn't ask all that often so that really made me smile :)

Congrats on your first giveaway!!

Preppy Mommy 7/21/08 12:08 PM  

+ thing: My neighbor came over to watch my son sleeping while I picked up my girls. Why +, b/c I'm new here and don't have many friends locally who could watch my kids.
other posts: I am not addicted to the sand screensaver - if I feel like sharing the computer with my kids I know it'll entertain them.
Thanks.

I planted herbs in my garden today. I now have rosemary, basil, garlic chives, cilantro and parsley. I get such pleasure in looking at my plants and anticipating using them in recipes. It makes my day good.

The best part of my day is waking up with my husband of 34 years and knowing that together we can face whatever the day has to hold.

superfizz 7/21/08 1:16 PM  

I woke up to a happy smiling baby. She made my day.

PS 7/21/08 1:17 PM  

My daughter burned her hand this weekend so we've had to keep it wrapped and clean. She so far has hated having it changed. This morning was the first morning she let me wash and change all the dressing without screaming! Made my morning!

bookworm 7/21/08 1:28 PM  

I woke up to a happy and patient doggy, waiting to go outside. He doesn't rush me too much in the morning and I really like that.

sphinx63 7/21/08 1:29 PM  

One positive thing about my day was my hubby and I had time to cuddle on the couch together this morning and just talk. It was wonderful!

Lindsey 7/21/08 1:43 PM  

I got the warm fuzzies while holding my newborn daughter this morning. :-)

Allie 7/21/08 3:58 PM  

My day today is great because of social networking sites! Last week one of my childhood best friends (from pre-school play group through 10th grade) found me on Facebook and come to find out, she works only a block from me. Today we met for lunch, saw one another for the first time in two decades and it was as though there was no time between us. It was an amazing experience and I look forward to future get togethers with her!

I made a really good dinner tonight without a recipe....It makes me feel so good when the hubby says, where did you get the recipe for this?, and I'm able to say....Oh I just came up with it.

BTW, it was chicken, spinach, grape tomatoes sauted with garlic, shallots and wine...then added some chicken broth and heavy cream and served over angel hair. Delicious.

Thanks for the generous giveaway!

I helped my daughter make flashcards for homework. Love when I get to do nice mom things like that instead of cook and clean and pay bills.

The greatest part of my day was that my 4-year-old started out being so disappointed we couldn't go to the open play she was looking forward to because her sister had a drippy nose, but by the end of the day we had had so much fun at home, she said "This was such a fun day!" Now that made me a real happy mom.

lace 7/21/08 11:37 PM  

Went to the movies as a family and sat together. Which was really fun.
