First Giveaway - Chocolates for your Valentine


It's celebration time!

Penny Pinscher is already starting to gather a larger subscriber base! To say thanks to all of you for visiting, we are joining up with Shannon's huge Bloggy Giveaways Carnival and running our first giveaway. The prize? Since Valentine's is coming up, I thought you all might enjoy a large box of Cello's Chocolate Cherries to give to your sweetheart. If you've never had these, they are the very best chocolate cherries, in my opinion. I usually won't touch a chocolate covered cherry normally, but I'll eat a box of these by myself. They are awesome!

So save me from myself and win these chocolates! All you have to do is leave a comment below telling me what your favorite Penny Pinscher post is, what you'd like to see more of, or just say "Hi!" Link to us from your blog, if you like, and then come back here and share your link below.

I'm thinking of a unique way to pick the winner, which I will be posting here as a movie clip. The winner will be picked on my favorite day of the year - Groundhog Day! (You understand if you've ever seen the movie;)

So, let the commenting begin!

I love your post of "It's a Frugalicious Friday!" I miss the bread stores in the area we moved from. There's none here. All are at least 1 hour away.

Thanks for the giveaway!

Stop by my place to win a bath set & candles or one of two copies of a book I'm giving away. Don't miss the daily edition of contests galore that I post on my blog.

I liked the post on "Good to the last drop." I had no idea that an empty can would harbour that much oil. I also loved the look of the planter the empty can created for you thyme. I would love to be entered in your drawing.

The only problem with chocolates and Groundhog's Day movie is that I'd keep on going back to the box of chocolates forgetting but not really forgetting that I'd been there before. Bill Murray would be proud of me!?!

ikkinlala said...

I like your "Good to the Last Drop" post, because it means my family are not the only people to re-use olive oil tins (for years we used one to prop up our Christmas tree in, among other things).

My favorite post is "Freecycle Furniture Fills The Bills Without The Bills". I use freecycle in my area and find it to be a great asset. I've given things away and received some nice items also.

I like the one where you wanted to reuse a greeting card. Hallmark just sent me a fist full of perfectly beautiful cards and envelopes. The only problem-SAMPLE stamped where I should put my signature! I so want to cover it with something-and send them to my friends! Enter me, please. ernestsgirl82@aol.com

I have never seen that movie... but it's my lovely Aunt Cris' birthday!

I like your "Good to the last drop" post. However, your "ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......................" speaks to me more than any other so far. Why? Well, it's 3am, I've not been to sleep, the dishwasher still needs to run (just got finished loading it), the dog still needs to be fed and let out to wee and I'll be up in 3 hours to help hubbydear get ready for work. After years of wondering, I think I finally understand the phrase "burning the candle at both ends".

I'm one who strives to be a P31 woman, as well. It's interesting to see different ladies'take on what they need to do to achieve that ideal. I'm still figuring out what it means to me.

If you don't mind, I'm going to bookmark your blog and come back tomorrow during breakfast (about 3 hours after I wake) and comment on you P31 post.

(And, of course, lest I forget what brought me here... enter me in your giveaway, please? Thank you!)

I like your running total of what you have saved this year (I might have to steal your idea and show my husband how much I saved over the year) I also like your backround very cute. Enter me please for some yummy cherries. katie_mmartin (at) yahoo (dot) come. Thanks so much.

OK, first I followed some other bloggers advice on enter their give-a-way since I am not a blogger myself. I put my name into the #11 auto-link spot but left the url blank. If you are allowing non-bloggers to be entered into this.

(sigh, now that I explained why I might be crashing into your blog without a fully proper invite)

But you are offering my hubby's favorite chocolate covered cherrys. He does not care who's they are but loves trying different brands to find which he likes the best. Dark chocolate covered by hmmm is it Anne or Queen Anne's..what ever..
Please accept my not so humble enrty into your wonderful..great...and thoughtful give-a-way.

Thank you

Ok, I will ask. Did I make you laugh? Is it worth one chocolate covered cherry?
My advise is check with your bank to re-finance your mortgage. Or consolidate your high-interest credit cards into a low home equity loan.

love the play on words "penny pinscher" - blogger pennies on a platter does penny pincher posts, but she doesn't do the cool play on words like you do ;)

Heather said...

I especially loved your Frugal Friday post about your awesome bread deal.

Techchick said...

Well, let me first say HI! Second, thank you for having such a terrific giveaway...I would love to try these and share them with my daughter since they are her favorite candy.
We are having a Groundhog Day party at my house tomorrow night...we have reversed the day (taping Phil in the morning!) and everyone is to come in their pjs and we are having brunch at night. We are giving away Groundhog Day the movie as a prize in the trivia contest. Have a great GHD!
