Tag: Aussie Giveaway Linkup

WHEN I announced I wasn’t a lucky person during last week’s Aussie Giveaway Linkup and then proceeded to talk about all the prizes I’d won, it made me realise I really have been blessed. I guess it happened during a small space of time, when Princess Ella was just a bub. I had time on my hands, because she slept so much during the day, that the 25 words or less competitions nearly became my full-time occupation.

So I thought over the next few weeks, as the gorgeous Tina from tinagray {dot} me and I co-host this linky, I’d offer up some of the entries that scored me all that loot. You can visit The Inaugural Aussie Giveaway Linkup to see some of the huge prizes I won.

I also have to correct myself from last week. I said I’d won two $1000 Prepaid Visa cards. But, I actually won two $2000 cards. Now I sound even greedier. This is how I won one of them (under The Bloke in The Shed’s name, but with his permission, I might add). It was to state in 25 words or less what you’d spend the money on at the competition host’s venue.

“Fendi dresses with beautiful sashes, Mac mascara for my wife’s eyelashes, Gucci watches and Destiny rings. These are a few of my `must purchase’ things.’’

Easy. Much easier is winning something in the below link up though. So get clicking!

WHEN it comes to giveaways, I’m far from a lucky person. Unless you include winning a $1000 prepaid VISA card – twice, scoring a $12,000 scholarship fund for Ella and getting a $350 Chicco high chair. Although, I did have to pay for its freight to Tasmania. So that got devalued pretty quickly.

However, my usual lack of luck doesn’t stop me entering. At one time I did really well entering every competition requiring 25 words or less by changing the words to These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things. It worked. For a while. That’s how I got the VISA cards and high chair. Then contest organisers obviously cottoned on to my little plan and all of a sudden the winnings went dry.

So when I discovered blogging and all the giveaways that DIDN’T require me to be clever (oh, what joy for a sleep-deprived, brain-fried, caffeine-wired mama), I got more than a little excited.

However, that’s nothing in comparison to the moment the wonderful Tina Gray from www.tinagray.me emailed to see if I’d be keen to co-host the Aussie Giveaway Linkup with her. Yes, please! All those giveaways on my site? What joy! What? Oh, right, it’s just links. I don’t actually get to have all the prizes. Bummer!

So here we are, giveaways in hand, ready to spread the free(bie) love.

As a reader, all you have to do is click the links that entice you and enter the giveaways. And, of course, you can enter as many as you want. Or all of them.
