Book Reviews by Ehlen Administration

Some of the contests I entered didn't close until recently, so I have won some more! However a sad note, the adorable little shoes I won from Happy Chickadee are too small for Rachelle. Yes, she inherited her mommy's long toes. This made me sad, as they are every bit as cute as their picture. Never fear, some lucky little girl will receive them. In fact, I think I know just the lucky little girl... Anyway, here's the tally so far continued from the previous post. First, unrelated to the Bloggy Giveaways but a blog contest entered previously, I won a kid's flag tee-shirt from Whimsical Walney. The giveaway was hosted by Crystal at Kid Buy Products (ha ha, get it?). I haven't received it yet, and am not sure which flag will be on it (I gave her my top 3) but hey, a little patriotism never hurt any kid, right? Ok, related to Bloggy Giveaways, I won a couple of shirts for me! Yay for me! The first one I received today - so I know the address I'm giving out is right...

You know how I like to win contests. And the Bloggy Giveaways have hundreds of contests to win all in a single week However I'm aware that there are sooooo many people entering that my chances are slim. This makes a win that much more fulfilling! First, is not a win from the current Bloggy Giveaways, but from a company who I discovered at the last Bloggy Giveaway - Happy Chickadee . I subscribed to their newsletter and entered a contest listed in that. Look what cute little shoes I won for Rachelle! Aren't they adorable!!!! Ok, on to the actual Bloggy Giveaways. First, a disclaimer, as you remember I won several giveaways a few months ago, and most did not reach me. I don't know if people screwed up the address or what, but the fact that I got one of them but not the rest leads me to believe it was sender error. So pay attention to the zip code number order, I realize there are a lot of 3's but I know you can do it! From Jolanthe at No Ordinary Moments I won a Bible S...

Well this time I'm batting 1000 for the Bloggy Giveaways. I won only one this time (unlike the 4 I won last time) but I actually got the prize in good time! Still don't have 3 of the 4 on the others...and really not expecting them now, honestly. But clearly my address I gave them was correct, since Mary Emma Allen managed to get my prize to me. I won some tea, which I must say I do enjoy. I got a box of 100 tea bags too, so I should be enjoying it for a while. The tea is Zsenso Orange Pekoe, and although straight black teas are not usually my fav, this one is really mild and super smooth. So thank you Mary Emma Allen , the tea you like is a hit with me too.

The ultrasound tech was pretty sure she's a girl, but even if she was wrong it was nice to be able to do a pink page for once :) Here's another layout for my guest creative team duties this month. Gena has a little girl so there are plenty of pink and purple kits/elements to choose from. I picked some of her newer stuff in order to promote it. And, guess what? I did win a Bloggy Giveaway! And it's good for me too, because I love tea. I won a box (100 tea bags) of Zsenso Orange Pekoe & Cut Black Teas from Mary Emma Allen, check her blog here . She's a pretty prolific blogger apparently, I don't think this is her only blog. Now cross your fingers that it will get to me, although I will report I got the High School Flashback dvd's! Bring on the 80's hair!

Ok seriously, this Bloggy Giveaways is making up for the grand winnings of NOTHING in the last couple. I just found out I won another one, and it's a good one! Joanie of Fairy Tale Jewels let me know I won a Diva Glam Pack! The pics below are what's included, all in little girl sizes! As I just found out yesterday I'm going to have a little girl in Dec, this works out perfectly! Also posting the pics of the other mom-friendly jewelry I won and talked about in the last post but couldn't link to last time. Yes, you can be jealous. Diva Glam Pack - can't get necklace pic to work but it is the Pampered Princess Smart Mom Jewelry Mother of Pearl pendant and bracelet - yes, baby can teeth on it safely!

I won another online contest! This is serious business. I won the new American Beauty Beloved perfume. Now, much like w/ the foot stuff, do I wear perfume? No, not really. But I'm thinking that this might be the perfectly pink birthday present for my sister...

Ok, it's time for the quarterly bloggy giveaways. I hope you all win something! I'm not hosting a giveaway or anything, I just like winning stuff so I thought I'd pass on the info. BTW, if I did win something on a blog and you're looking for my email, check under "Contributors" - Ebie, and my email is in my profile dealy. Happy winnings!
