My 200th POST! And because I am excited you can win!

~~~~~~~~~CONTEST IS OVER, WINNER WILL BE POSTED 8/22, THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED!~~~~

This is officially my 200th post on this blog (I think I deserve some hoorays!) And because I am so excited about my 200th post I am doing a giveaway! So what's better than that, my readers winning on my 200th post.

For the winner I will give a $25.00 gift card to their choice, it of course has to be something I can attain locally and mail or be able to attain on the web and have sent. So mama wants new lingerie to have some fun with daddy....ask for Victoria Secret gift card. You need a night out with the girls or a dinner with your significant other or even a parent child night....get a gift card to your favorite restaurant. Pick a movie gift card if you like to see the newest releases, a best buy gift card if there is something you really want from there or if you are a coffeholic like myself choose a Starbucks card. The possibilities are endless!

So now I am sure you want to know what you have to do, well obviously leave a comment telling me where you want your gift card to and who you plan on using it on or with. This has to be done, this is the only required action to be entered.

Now for extra entries (each task will get you 1 extra entry):
~Subscribe to my blog through my feedburner link (on the top of my left column)
~Add my button to your sidebar or add me to your blog roll.
~Spread the word, get your readers/friends to come over and enter and if they subscribe as well they can email me(tpatton5 at gmail dot com) telling me that you referred them you get an extra entry with them.
~Blog about the contest on your blog, linking back to my blog and the post.
~Go favorite or fan me on technorati (the link is on my right column if you scroll down) or both.
~Tweet about this contest.
~Plurk about this contest.

So you can get up to 6 entries if you do everything and multiple entries for the friend referring (hopefully your friends are honest enough to email me LOL). Make sure you comment separately for each task after the required entry task so you will get credit for each one, it is too hard for me to read through a long comment that has 5 tasks in it and seperate each task LOL.

This contest will run until August 21, so that gives you lots of time to get alot of people to subscribe to me on your behalf! Now enter away and complete your task missions (only the first is required the extras are for optional extra entries)and the gift card to wherever you choose could be yours!

Haasiegirl said...

I should win it. Why you ask? Becuase i never win crap. But i give away crap. No wait..i DO win it, but ic ant keep it because its my OWN stuff...how is THAT for irony?

My first instinct is to KEEP the $25 for myself. Maybe make it to a salon. I havent had a hair cut in about 3 months. But what i would do is give it to my cousin, who has never, in her life, owned something that wasnt a hand me down. In fact, im taking her shopping today for new shoes, so it would go to her.

Jen said...

Very cool! Wow...200 posts!

I'd like a gift card to Kohls. Then I can buy me some clothes! Ok..maybe a shirt. Or a pair of shoes. =)

Jen said...

And I just tweeted for you! =)

Now maybe I should get to back to uploading pics to snapfish!

R.L.Scovens said...

Well congrats on you 200th post!! Gift card...hmmmmm...what would I want...I think I'd like to go to Bath and Body Works and get some new scents!!LoVE Bath and Body Works!

Minxy Mimi said...

Entry #2... I have your button on my blog AND I have you on my blogroll!!! WOO HOO

Lilith Silvermane said...

YAY.. Congrats!
So... can I get the gift card to Bambina Ballerina? *shrugs*

I'm just sayin'... :)

I'm about to tweet ya too!

Celeste said...

I'm a total Amazon addict so it would definately have to be a gift certificate to there. Honestly i should own stocks...

Miss Blondie said...

So, i'm thinking either walmart or old navy b/c its time for back to school shopping and either place is great for that!

Miss Blondie said...

ok, i just plurked about it!! Oh and congrats on your 200th post!!

MammaDawg said...

Whoohoo!! Congrats on your 200th post!!

I have something for you as well - roll on by when you're ready to scoop up some bling ;)

Heather B. said...

Can I enter on Trisha's behalf!? I think that her cousin NEEDS this gift card. Maybe a new outfit would give her a nice confidence boost!

sphinx63 said...

Congrats on your 200th post!
I would like a gift card to Target, as that is my favorite store. I would probably spend it on myself, yes, myself!! yay

Jess said...

YAY for 200 post!

A Walmart card to spend on James for his birthday. It would help me in the long run.

Jessica

Bridgette said...

I would get it to Babies R Us b/c I want to get Aubrie one of those trays that attaches to her Bumbo seat. :)

kagey10 said...

Congrats on the 200 posts! i think I am less then 25! and you seem pretty cool too!

I have been wanting to try Lush forever! cool stuff
http://usa.lush.com

Vicki is Not So SAHM said...

I just realized how badly I'm going to need that gift card! We're redoing our finances and hubby just cut my "allowance" by $25 a month. So if I win this, then that's one less month that I'll have to scrounge around for that $25 that I will be sorely missing!

I think I would get the card to Target. That way I could spend it on whatever I fancy at the moment.

Vicki is Not So SAHM said...

Even though I had already been subscribing to your blog I subscribed through your FeedBurner link.

I understand you wanting people to click through that. I have a feedburner link, but it says only 2 people are subscribed. I know that's not true, so I'm not sure what's wrong. Anyway, no need to dump my problems on you...

Vicki is Not So SAHM said...

You're already on my blogroll, and at the top I might add. Can't help it if it's an alphabetical list. You're still first!

Jenna said...

I would have to say a Target giftcard! It's perfect for getting the little ones stuff and I love going through the clearance racks so I can get LOTS of baby clothes with 25.00 when I look through them :)

Karin said...

Congrats on the 200 posts!

Target gift card-I would spend it on myself---buying 'exciting' things like mini-pads and nail polish remover.

Bunny B said...

Congrats on your 200th post!! Woohoo!!

I wanna win a $25 Amazon GC please!! There's so many things I'd love to buy for my loved ones! Thanks!

Thanks!

Mary said...

I'd love to have an amazon.com GC!
I'm always shopping there anyway so it would help a lot.

Kari said...

Congrats on the 100th post!! I'd be thrilled with any gift card really. Maybe an itunes or Target. :)

agordon10 said...

Kohl's would be nice as it is time to go shopping for the kids.

kamewh said...

I would love a giftcard to Target and I would put it toward buying myself a new swimming suit that I desperately need- the one I currently use is about 10 years old! Thank you for the giveaway!

jessica said...

I would love an Amazon giftcard! I would use it to buy books!

idahomom said...

I would love Starbucks and I would share it with my boys who are always begging for hot chocolate. I usually say no mom will make you one when we get home. They always say, but mom yours aren't as good.

jceko77 said...

I would love a Traget gift card I would use on me:)
jceko77@yahoo.com

shakerbaby said...

I would be happy with a gift card to about anywhere, but I would say Sears since anyone in our family can buy something there! mif1018(at)aol(dot)com

Minxy Mimi said...

I think I would like the gift card to Target... I need STUFF!!!

Congrats on your 200th post! If I'm fortunate enough to win, I'd like a gift card for Amazon - there's a coffee maker I've had my eye on since I broke my last one. :D

EB said...

Cool! I would love to win a gift card to Barnes and Noble so that I can buy more books for my classroom library.

Thanks!

emmarleed[at]hotmail[dot]com

Toystory said...

I'd like CVS - as I seem to be there alot, for makeup, RX's, vitamins, shampoo, etc. I know that it would be super easy to use. The whole family would benefit since I can then buy them the "item" they need instead of the one on sale!

tatertot374 said...

Thank you for having this! I would choose either gift card to Red Lobster or to Regal movie theater so my wonderful husband and I could enjoy a night out together without our 3 children.

Genevieve P said...

I'd pick Amazon, no question. Books! I'd probably get something for me and something for my girls.

heather said...

Congrats on 200 posts!

I put your contest on my twitter

I would love a $25 gift certificate to Old Navy actually. I would use it on myself because I need new clothes. Not want, actually need!

Susan said...

Thanks for the contest! I would love a gift card to Target so I can finish up my son's back-to-school shopping.

Jes said...

judygr64 said...

Thanks so much. I'd love to win this. I'd ask for an Amazon gift card. That would be easy for you to get online and easy for me to use! Thanks!

Keely said...

Wow, congrats! I would say Target and I would be totally selfish with it too. No diapers on this trip! I would buy some good shampoo and conditioner and maybe some sunglasses....not an easy one to justify in the budget! :-)

Congrats On you 200TH post.

I would chose a walmart gift card.

forgetfulone said...

Walmart or Target for me, whichever is easiest for you to obtain. Free money? I'm easy to please!

Debbie said...

Congrats on the 200th post. Today I did my first post! Equally exciting. I would choose Target because we get everything there and it is back to school time. Thanks.

Deb said...

Congrats on your 200th post! What an awesome giveaway.

I would love to win a $25 Starbucks gift card. I rarely splurge on myself, and when I do (once a month or less) stop and get a Venti Caramel Machiatto, I feel very guilty and think that for the price of this one cup of coffee I could have gotten a bag of grinds to brew coffee for a week...of course, it's just not the same though. So, I'd love to have a few months of absolutely guilt free coffee treats. What a joy that would be!

Thanks for the giveaway.

Meredith said...

Congrats on 200 posts! I would have the $25 go to either Target or iTunes. Target because I could buy just about anything I wanted. The other day I got two really cute evening bags that were on clearance for just 8 bucks! Or iTunes because my shopping cart is just getting bigger all the time on there and I need to make it smaller and have some new music to bop around to!

Summer said...

Hmmm. I would probably want a GC to Amazon.com. Maybe buy a good book to let a friend borrow when I'm done.

Karen of Sillymonkeez said...

I think I would like a GC to AMC (movie theatre) so I can have an excuse to go to the movies, which is a rare treat for me. I would go with my husband and perhaps our 4.5yr old son, depending on which movie it is.

Thanks for the fun giveaway, Toni!

COngrats! 200 is a big number.

If I won, I would like a GC to a restaurant so hubby and I can go out alone. His favorite is Outback, so maybe there. Ohhhh or Olive Garden.

Noggy said...

I think the simplest card to get would be a $25 GC to Target. My son has a birthday the end of September and I would put it towards something to surprise him.

layla said...

Congrats on your 200th post! Everyone could use a gift card for Amazon. I would treat myself to a good book or two.

Either Target or endless.com. I'd probably buy myself a bunch of stuff I don't need at Target, or if I got endless, a new pair of shoes. Because I can still open my closet door, so there must be room for another pair.

A GC to Walmart.com would be wonderful. And congratulations!

paula h said...

I would pick Amazon.com since I have a slight addiction to it. I would spend it buying some more cookbooks. I found some called "101 Things to DO With.." They are great for teaching my kids to cook. We have the cake mix ones, tortilla, and crockpot. We would love to have all of them eventually.

Jackie B. said...

Congrats on your blog success!Thanks for such a great giveaway to celebrate! If I happen to win, I would like a Walmart GC. They have anything and everything! Who would I use it on? Myself, of course!

I would love to have a gift card for Olive Garden - it is my daughter's favorite place to eat and I just dropped her off for college and it would be wonderful if she could have a chance to get away from the dorm and cafeteria food!

Leigh said...

Omg. Red. Freaking. Lobster. $25 might not be enough to cover a dinner there for my husband and I entirely (I would plan on getting liquored up, of course lol) but it would be enough for an excuse to drag him there! Mama needs some cheddar biscuits! ;) Every time we almost get to Red Lobster he says "Why not Carls Jr instead?" Wait, what?

I guess if I were responsible, I would ask for a $25 GC to a blog that makes buttons and banners...I need to get my non-blogger blog some glitz.

And....HIP HIP HORRAY! For hitting your 200th post! I'm so proud of you!
