As a kid, I always filled out the Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes forms that came in the mail. All the little magazine stamps to lick and the promise of oodles of dollars--loved it! Strangely enough, we never won. You're shocked, I know.
Now I'm all grown up and not even on the Publisher's Clearing House mailing list (knock on wood). But I still get a little thrill out of entering contests. Which is why I geek out over the quarterly Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. Four times a year a zillion bloggers get together and give stuff to each other. Love it! But despite all my clicking and entering, I've never won.
In an attempt to increase my giveaway-winning karma, this time I'm offering up a prize myself. I am a fan of choice, so you can have your pick of a $15 gift card for Target, Starbucks or Amazon. Also known as three enormous corporations which get too much of my money.
Entering is as easy as leaving a comment on this post. You don't have to be a blogger to win, but you do need to leave me some way to contact you. One entry per person, please. Comments close October 31 at 10:00 p.m. The winner will be selected randomly and posted this weekend.
If you're a fellow fan of giveaways, we've got a bunch every week over at Northwest Mom Finds. And you're welcome to come visit here any time. Good luck!
Comments are now closed. Thank you to all who entered!

I adore gift cards, and probably spend as much as you at these three places (heaven is sipping a SB latte, snuggled under a throw from Target while reading a new novel from amazon!)
I lack luck myself but hope you get some, and yes those three places has been eating my money as well
thanks for the contest
I could spend $15 easy at any of those places. Please sign me up. :) Thanks so much for hosting a giveaway.
I'll give it a whirl. Thanks for entering me!

Wonderful giveaway! Thanks for the chance to enter! :)
I'm a sweepstakes junkie too. Help me get my fix!
=D Hilarious post. Best I've seen yet. And I love your blogger header/title also.
Anyway, I spend money at all the same places. I guess, for purposes of this giveaway, I'd pick Starbucks.
Any of the three would be fab, but I know my husband would go nuts over the Amazon one. ;-)
All are great, but Amazon would be my favorite. Thank you for the giveaway!

Great giveaway, I'd love a Target card :).
I believe that those are the top 3 places to shop/consume coffee for mom bloggers I bet if I walked into my local Target in the middle of the day and yelled "Any Mom Bloggers in here?" I would get a rousing response. Not that I would ever do that or anything.
This is a great giveaway! Thanks
If I won I'd go with the Target GC because I'm in there way to much, seems like I'm always runing outta something and needing to go to the store!
Thank you for participating! ;-) That would be a hard choice on the cards. :-)
Great giveaway!
oh, yes! i'd pick the target card and get both target goodies and starbucks goodies all under one roof. yessah!
im down for the starbucks card :)
and good luck with your karma!
Amazon for me!
