Give-A-Way Rip Offs

Everyone loves a good give-a-way. Who wouldn't? A free book. A free gift bag of bath essentials. A free t-shirt. I sign up for them all the time. I figure I have got to be a winner, winner chicken dinner one of these times. Well I have! In my history of blogging and being a compulsive give-a-way entry person I have won a total of 3 times. 2 t-shirts, and 1 book.

Unfortunately I only received one of those t-shirts and the screen printing was crooked. {As in it went across one boob and over the other} Wonder why they were giving it away. The other shirt I e-mailed the giver asking about it and she said it had completely slipped her mind and she was glad I e-mailed her. Since then I've heard nothing else and have lost her e-mail so I can't contact her again.

The book I won was through Goodreads. {And I'm sure this is no fault of theirs but solely the giver.} I sign up for tons of books through their give-a-ways. Authors and readers are always giving away new books. And I want 'em. Well a few months back I was checking the give-a-ways I had signed up for and saw I had won. I was so excited. So I e-mailed the giver and asked if she needed any of my information to send me the book. Nothing. So a few weeks back I sent another message, only to receive nothing in return.

Know I realize these are give-a-ways and I have not paid any money for the items, but I still feel let down. It's like being told the "checks in the mail" only to never get it. Or "There's gold at the end of every rainbow" only to go searching and not find that dang pot.

So please, if only for my sake, if you are going to do a give-a-way and by some freak chance I win, SEND ME MY GIFT!!

Thank you and have a nice day.

12 Days of Junkie

Okay, here's the skinny.....Tip-Junkie is giving away wonderful items for the next 12 days. 2 gifts each day to 2 lucky players. You should check out their site. Just click below!

Wow...Take a look

...Mama Kat is giving away this awesome vacuum. I know...I know... I sign up for a lot of give aways, but this one would be great for me. And one day I'm sure to win. I hate seeing the kids struggle to take the vacuum up and down the stairs struggling with the vacuum on the stairs and I could leave this one upstairs and our other vacuum downstairs. Plus it's self propelled. And teal. How wonderful. And I have 3 dogs and 4 girls in my house, so we need a vacuum that really sucks! :)

Go take a look and sign up, anyone can win. If you do though you have to give me the vacuum...it's in the rules somewhere.
