My FIRST Contest---CLOSED

*****UPDATE!!!*****Winner posted and contacted! See HERE!!

This is going to be the easiest contest to enter ever! I am looking for followers and comments. Follow this blog and that's one entry. Leave me a comment on this post and that's a 2nd entry. Every day you come back and leave another comment and you get another entry. How easy is that? For this, there is no requirement on what you say, but I sure would appreciate it if you made your first comment something more substantial than "count me in" or "I wanna win". Tell me something I don't know. How is your day going? How's the weather where you are? Leave me a link to your blog so I can visit. Whatever. Really!

On July 4, I will contact the winner and he/she will be able to choose between a 1 year Premium Membership to Online-Sweepstakes.com or a $20.00 Amazon gift certificate.

I know this isn't the biggest and best blog out there but I sure would like to grow it to something to be proud of and, with your help, I can do just that!

Thanks for looking and reading and putting up with all my gobbledygook!!
Amy

**UPDATE** Thank you all for entering my first contest! You all are amazing!! It's getting down to the wire so spread the word, keep making your daily entry and I may very well be contacting you on July 4th! Entries will be accepted thru July 3rd at midnight CST! Winner will be contacted via email/blog and prize will be sent via email on July 14th. Follow my blog for my next great contest or for updates to this one! Thanks again and GOOD LUCK!!

    Congratulations on your blog! I live in Rockwood, Michigan. I love my family, sweeping and hanging out online. I try to stay out of trouble and make a few friends along the way. Thank you for a chance to win. I am following your blog.

    Hope you get lots of followers. At least your style blog has the 'follow blog' right up at the top. I'm a dial-up internet user and sometimes blogs' button to 'follow' is one of the last things to load- very frustrating.

    I've got no blog of my own. No time what with entering sweepstakes and looking for a job!

    This was a good week for me mail-wise. Monday I received a coupon for free Haagen Daz, Tuesday I received a hard-covered book The Scarecrow by Michael Connolly, Wednesday I received 6 boxes of HomeFree Organic cookies!

    Wouldn't it be great if we received prizes everyday!

Where it reads 'I know this isn't the biggest and best blog out there but I sure would like to grow it to something to be proud of and, with your help, I can do just that!' you better scratch out the word 'isn't'! This is the biggest and the best. It's going to be the best of what you share with us everyday! Congrats for getting this far! I really need to do the same thing. So thanks for the inspiration and the great first sweep. Wishing you continued success! (tiglesia from OLS)

    The best thing I ever won from an online sweepstakes was an embroidery machine. This Bernina guy calls me up, mumbles something, and asks when I can pick my machine up. I was confused because my sewing machine wasn't in the shop. That's when he told me that I'd won an embroidery machine from BerninaUsa.com! He wasn't even excited - it's like it was just part of his day! Well, I was excited enough for 10 people! That was probably 10 years ago and I still love it like I did the day I got it!

    Winning is exciting. First if you now it is going to arrive, you wait to see the post person or the FedEx or UPS or a big truck pull up to the house. You get double excited.

    I also enjoy the surprise you got a gift left at your door or in your box.

    It is like little or big gifts of love.

    I only enter for gifts that the family can use.

    Son wants a gaming system.
    Other son wants golfing equipment.
    Daughter wants a spa treatment.
    I want maid service and a new front yard.
    Hubby wants a BIG TV.

    Everyone wants food and money. We sit around and talking about 2/3 for us and 1/3 for IRS. What we would do with which dollar amount.

    It is fun to dream.

    Latest gift was a new dog collar with blinking safety light.
