Contest round-up #2

Here are the contests I've come across this week!

There are some good ones over at Rocks in My Dryer's Giveaways page - you could win licensed sports merchandise from Team Mascot, a $50 gift certificate to Madie Jane's online boutique or one of 10 packages of 75 free tutoring minutes from Tutor.com. You'll need to enter the last one by September 16th, so hurry over and check all of them out!

Mom's Turn is a new website that allows a forum for us moms to vent or complain about things that we don't feel comfortable talking about on our own blog site for whatever reason. What a neat concept! To help spread the word, they're running a contest where you could win a handmade quilt or one of 4 sets of handmade notecards. There are several ways to enter - the easiest is just to post about the site on your blog. Or you get additional entries for adding this button that links back to them:

And you get additional chances to win if you add the button to your sidebar as well! You have until September 18th to enter.

Here's another great giveaway from 5 Minutes for Mom - you could win a Rocketfish Wireless Multimedia Bluetooth Keyboard and Laser Mouse! Or join in on their cyber baby shower that Happy Panda is throwing on October 1st. You can offer products for review or to giveaway by visiting her post and/or emailing EmilySanderson@HappyPandaBaby.com. And join in on the big day to see all of the gifts and win prizes. Sounds like fun and hopefully Susan and Janice's babies will cooperate so they will be able to attend as well that day!

Over on An Island Life, you could win 50 free personalized Mommy Cards from Ballyhoo Creations! Mommy Cards sound like a great idea for something to use to give your contact information to that great new mom you meet at the playground or mall instead of having to dig through your purse or diaper bag for a blank piece of paper or the back of yesterday's grocery receipt - not to mention that pen that you're sure you always keep in there but just can't find right now... Head over and enter - I know I could use these! You have until September 17th on this one.

This one's not really a contest, but I wanted to let you all know about a great new way to drive traffic to your blog. It's called BlogRush and it sounds like a great way to share your blog with others and to find great new blogs to read as well. You'll see their widget over in my sidebar and you can click right on that to check them out and sign up if you want. There's a video on their site that explains exactly how it works. So check them out and get signed up!

Camy's Loft is having a huge website contest! You could win a basket of books or - get this - an 8 GB iPod Nano! Or a copy of her book, Sushi for One?. Or one of a few other great prizes - there will be 23 winners in all! To enter you just need to join her newsletter Yahoogroup Camys_Loft by October 31st. You can get additional entries by referring others, so if you do join - please list my e-mail address (debmomof3ATcomcast.net). Thanks!

Over at From Dates to Diapers, and beyond! you can win a Ziggy Stardust baby Pouch from Rockin' Baby Shop - this looks like an awesome baby wearing option and I'm hoping I win since I really want a sling to carry Becca in. You have until September 17th to enter this one, so good luck!

Multi-Tasking Moms is giving away either a pink or blue tool set from Ladies Tools Online. Each set has 46 pieces in a stylish pink or blue case - very fun!

And last, but not least, is Scribbit's Saturday giveaway - this week you could win a cool bag made at Buttertart. They are offering offering a matching set in "Electric Tangerine", including a zippered pouch, reversible/adjustable headband and the covered hair ponies. Enter before 12am on Monday!

That's everything I've found this week - good luck to all!

Somehow I never bookmarked this one so forgot to add it originally (thank you to Karen for the reminder!), but you have the chance to win a $25 gift certificate to Tastefully Simple over at Pediascribe! Plus an additional item which is usually only available to someone who hosts a party. All you have to do is order at least $35 in items from Karen's mother-in-law's Tastefully Simple website - not very difficult to do, I don't think! So far I've only ever tried a brownie mix, but they were wonderful. And I have a couple more sitting in my cupboard that I need to try yet as well. Check out Pediascribe for all of the details on this one - you have until November 1st to enter!
