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 would really love to win a target card, Ive been holding on to mine for months now, saving them to purchase my daughters christmas presents with and I need to increase the funds!!
Any of the three would be terrific, but I would likely choose Amazon if I were to win.

I have an addiction to Target and Amazon -- hard choices! :-)

How can a girl decide? I guess I would go with target. Thanks!
Wow! I can't believe you haven't won yet. I've never won things either but I did win a few things in the last carnival. I am definitely addicted now! I really hope you win something! Maybe mine? Good luck!

I like your sense of humor. Yeah, I never won the Publisher's Clearinghouse either. Thanks for the giveaway~
my husband is really wanting a Blu-Ray Disc player for Christmas. And an amazon coupon would help so much with me making his wish come true.
Thank you so much for offering this wonderful giveaway.
I would LOVE to win !!
Those three ginormous corporations get a lot of my money too! Thank you.
I also used to fill out the publishers clearing house forms hoping one day they would show up at my door with the ballons and the huge check. Sad to say they never came.
I would love to will the Target gift card.
Great giveaway. Thank you.
It's such a toss-up between the three! I'm in love with Amazon, though. So many books on my wishlist just waiting for me...
A Target GC would be perfect for stocking stuffers for my kiddos!

I *should* ask for the target card, since it would be more useful, but what I'd really like is the starbucks card. :)
I'm totally curious about your adoptions (my husband and I are considering adopting in the future). Would you mind telling me more about your choice for open adoptions?
I love all three stores.
