What a Month!

First off I have been having a good and a bad month. One I won a great CSN giveaway. Two I have been packing to move.

Today is moving day and the thunder is rumbling and the sky is black. Not looking good when you are using an open trailer to move all your belongings.

The good is that it has felt like Christmas around here this week. UPS, Fedex and the USPS have been working their butts off delivering packages to my house this week.

I got almost all of my CSN delivery that I ordered with the gift certificate I won last week weekend. Wow delivery was fast!

Woo Hoo for all the new stuff  but I can't even play with all my cooking goodies that I ordered because of the move.

Today I also received my Boboli Beat The BBQ Boredom Party Pack from House Party.

My party will be on the 14th as we celebrate one of my grand daughters birthdays that day.

Keep an eye out because as soon as I am half way unpacked at the new house I have some great giveaways to put up. So sign up for email updates if you haven't already so you know when the giveaways are up and running!

Quess What I won

I have been having an extremely  good week. A couple of unexpected boxes full of goodies showed up on my door step and I will be sharing with my readers. So look for some fun give aways coming in the next week or so.

I say week or so because I may be moving at the end of the month so if you don't see anything keep checking!

But the cherry on top came in an email last night in the form of an $80 gift certificate from CSN. Oh my what to buy!!!

I have to thank Gera from Sweetfoods.com for hosting the give away and making it possible for me to win! So a big thank you Gera.

I hopped over to CSN last night just to see what goodies I might buy and I tell you there is so much fun stuff to be had from the 200 hundred online stores available I don't know what I am going to pick.

At first I thought I might buy a ravioli cutter and I found the CucianPro Raviolamp 24 Ravioli Tray but then I thought I might like a food processor and found the Hamilton Beach 10 Cup Food Processor and then I realized I won enough to buy both. Thanks again Gera!

Woo Hoo

I am sure you use a search engine every day any way like everyone else on the internet. All you have to do to earn swag bucks is use the Swagbuck search engine. You don't have to download a new toolbar although there is one available. What I did because I use Firefox is download the Swagbuck add on and when I am ready to search I use the swagbuck search engine in the drop down menu on my tool bar. If I don't find what I am looking for I can easily switch back to the other search engine I use.


Get your friends and family to sign up using your link and each time they earn a swagbuck so will you.



Down at the bottom of my page you will find my Swagbucks Widget. It's a pretty cool widget cause it lets your friends and readers know just what is going on in the Swagbuck world and how many Swagbuck I have earned. My Swagbuck total is usually low because as soon as I have earned enough I cash them in for a $5 Amazon gift card.

I just went and counted what I have cashed in this past year and was surprised to see that I had earned enough Swagbucks to buy $80 worth of Amazon gift cards.Wow I can't believe it. And all I did was use the swagbuck search engine.

There are many other items you can buy with your swagbucks. And there are many ways to earn bonus swagbucks just buy reading the newsletter or checking out twitter or facebook.


Check out the prize page and see all the great stuff you can earn just by searching the internet.

Febreze Home Collection Review and $15 Walmart Gift Card Give Away

I was lucky enough to receive a Febreze Home Collection recently from MyBlogSpark. And for one of my lucky readers a $15 Walmart giftcard.

Febreze Home Collection 

Product Information

Summer Scents
Summer is almost upon us! It’s time to make your décor shine as brightly as the July sun. We can’t think of a better way to do that than with the Flameless Luminary™ or New No-Spill Diffuser from Febreze Home Collection. Both are beautifully designed and come in an array of scents. 


Flameless Luminary
Turn heads with the soft flickering glow of a Flameless Luminary. Once you have a reusable base, changing scents is as easy as changing shades. It’s a refreshing update that you’ll want to share with your readers.

New No-Spill Wood Diffuser
When you live with children and pets, accidents happen. Luckily the No-Spill Diffuser with WoodWick® ambiance makes spills a thing of the past. Good looking and thoughtful, too — it’s exactly what you’ve been looking for.

The Febreze Home Collection is available in an array of premium designs.

Try our other premium scents.
Available in Scented Reed Diffuser, Soy Blend Candle, Room Spray, Flameless Luminary, and No-Spill Wood Diffuser.

I was so impressed with the Flameless Luminary. First off for someone like myself who has small children in the home this is a great way to add scent to your home without having to worry about the fire hazard of having a lit candle in your home with little ones running around and playing.

I received three different scents in my package, cherry blossom whimsy, willow blossom and cranberry pear. I immediately opened the limited edition cherry blossom whimsy and placed the scented shade on the reusable base. Then I turned on the light and almost immediately the sweet scent of cherry blossoms filled my living room. I placed the base on my entertainment center and every time I entered my living room I would smell that sweet scent. The Flameless Luminary light even flickers just like a candle would. How cool is that?

I was equally impressed with the new No Spill Wood Diffuser as far as the scent and the no spill bottle goes.

I did have a little trouble removing the bottle stopper. It is in there pretty tightly to keep the oil from leaking in the package. But it's just as simple to work as the Luminary once you get the stopper out.

Once you get the stopper out you simply  turn the lid over and push the included wooden dowel into the pre drilled hole in the wooden bottle cap. Then twist the wooden top back onto the bottle. The dowel goes to the bottom of the bottle and wicks the scented oil up into the wooden lid.

Once I had the dowel in the bottle and the lid screwed on I figured it might be a few hours before I would notice any scent coming from the bottle. I picked up the box it came in to read the instructions once more. It doesnt mention anything about a time frame for the scent to become noticeable. When I was done reading the box I looked back up at the bottle and was so surprised to see that the oil had already started to wick up through the wooden lid. I picked it up and sniffed. Sure enough you could smell the honeysuckle orchid scent coming from the lid.

I was totally blown away. I expected to have to wait hours but instead the scent started to fill the room in mere minutes.
