Saturday Giveaways

In many ways, I can’t believe it’s been six months since I wrote a blogpost.  I’m only writing one now to let you know about a few contests/giveaways I entered.  Yes, I get to receive an extra entry into them by telling you about them, but I do not receive any compensation. 🙂

Here’s just a few of the fun giveaways currently out there…

Chat With Vera is hosting the following:

• Eppie the Elephant (Who Was Allergic to Peanuts), a book written by Livingstone Crouse and illustrated by Steve Brown, Ends 17 September 2018, USA only – Click here to enter.

• The Day War Came, two winners of a book written by Nicola Davies and illustrated by Rebecca Cobb, Ends 6 October 2018, USA & Canada – Click here to enter.

What I like most about Chat With Vera is that she usually hosts quite a few giveaways with usually very few entries… which makes one have a greater chance of winning! 🙂  So, hop on over and check out her site.

 

Susan Heim, author and “Chicken Soup For the Soul” editor, has giveaways

I’ve known about Susan Heim’s blog for several years.  I don’t even know for sure when (or where) I first found out about her blog.  But, I’m glad I did!  🙂  She always has some fun and interesting giveaways.  And, I’m pretty sure I’ve won more than one prize from them.  (Thanks, Susan and Rafflecopter.)

She currently has several giveaways that I’ve entered, as well as a few I’ve not yet entered. Here’s some of them:

One lucky winner will receive their choice of a personalized hoodie bear or sweater bear from Teddy Bears Personalized, hopefully just in time for Mother’s Day! Giveaway ends May 1, 2016 and is open to U.S. residents only.  Click here to go enter!

One lucky winner will receive a three month Hulu gift subscription and a Curious George youth T-shirt!  Giveaway ends April 24, 2016 and is open to U.S. residents only.  Click here to go enter!

One lucky winner will receive three National Geographic children’s books and a pair of binoculars!  Giveaway ends April 26, 2016 and is open to U.S. residents only.  Click here to go enter!  (This giveaway is a part of a group of giveaways that several blogs are hosting.  You can find out more information when you click on the link to go enter.)

Despite my mention of the giveaways, I hope you will look around Susan’s blog and let her know you found out about her through my blog, unless of course you already knew about her. 🙂  She is MUCH, much better at maintaining her blog than I am.  (Many bloggers are.  I’m simply a novice. 😀 )  On Saturdays, she has a giveaway ‘linky’ where you can link-up your own giveaways or others’ (who often give an extra entry or two if you take that step).  Oh, and the best thing about Susan?  She’s a sister-in-Christ!

VeggieTales (and Larry Boy) are at it again!

Wow!  There are a lot of blogs giving away VeggieTales’ latest DVD, The League of Incredible Vegetables, featuring their very own “legendary” superhero Larry Boy and an ‘all-star’ cast of new superheroes.

I first got excited about it when I saw the NewsBoys’ video.  I think NewsBoys do incredible music anyways… without doing a song about incredible vegetables!

Here’s the blogs that still have a giveaway for this DVD:

• Hey, Donna! – ends 11/5
• Planet Weidknecht – ends 11/5

• Bond with Karla – ends 11/15
• Mom and More – ends 11/16
• Mommy Moment – ends 11/18

If you’ve never heard of VeggieTales, I encourage you to check them out!  They may seem like something that would only appeal to small children, but I assure you that they are full of lots of fun for older children and parents, too.

I was given no compensation for this post except extra entries in a couple of the giveaways.
