Family and Friends Giveaway: $10 Amazon gift card

Tick...tick...tick...tick...

Do you hear that? It's the sound of time ticking away
before our new blog opens sometime SOON!
(If you haven't heard the news, go here to find out more.)

We have another contest for you and this time, we're asking for your help to SPREAD the word about the opening of Cha-Ching on a Shoestring.

HERE'S THE DEAL: The winner of this contest will receive a $10 Amazon.com gift card. But here's the catch: If YOU are the person who referred the winner, you will also receive a $10 Amazon.com gift card! That's right--it's a two-for-one deal!

So, here's what YOU need to do. If you haven't signed up here for notification of the opening of Cha-Ching on a Shoestring, then go ahead and do it now. Then, leave a comment saying that you signed up and you will automatically be entered into the contest.

Once you have signed up, start telling your friends and family about it! Send them an e-mail. Give them a call. Sign your husband up! Take a coffee break and go tell your co-worker to sign up. Twitter about it. Post it on facebook.

And, of course, if you have a blog, then BLOG about it! (Go ahead and copy and paste my button if you'd like.) Consider it your giveaway for the week. (Money Saving Mom has a Giveaways Galore post going on here right now. Leave a linky for your blog! It's a great way to get traffic!)

Ok, just to be sure we are on the same page, here's what you need to do:

1. If you haven't signed up yet, sign up here. Then leave a comment letting me know you've signed up. If someone else sent you here, MAKE SURE YOU LET ME KNOW WHO IT WAS!! If you are the winner, the person who referred you will also win!
2. If you are already signed up, then start sending others to this post. You will be entered into the contest once for every person who indicates you as their referral!

In order to give you plenty of time to get the word out, we will leave this contest open for a whole week. It will end Thursday, April 16 at 8 pm. EST.

Any questions? E-mail me at: kaleyehret@hotmail.com.

GOOD LUCK!

Hmmm...

Could today be THE DAY?

The Secret is Out...or will be

Some of my best ideas come in the middle of the night.

Although my 7 month old continues to sleep well, my 3 year old still needs potty breaks in the wee hours occasionally. (I SOOOO did not mean that as a pun!)

So, last night as I lay in bed after putting him back to bed, I started thinking about this little secret of ours. Some of you have been asking about it. I've been trying to figure out how we should tell you.
Then it hit me. A CONTEST!! Why not have a little fun?

So, here's the scoop. (Oh...and speaking of scoops, if you live near a Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop, stop by TODAY--March 24--only with a non-perishable item and you can get a scoop for only $1!)

At some point in the next 7 days, I will write a post, outing our little secret.

If YOU are the first commenter on that post, I have a $5 Target gift card with your name on it.

Now, isn't that fun? Just keep coming back...maybe it will be YOU! (hint: if you want a bit of an edge in this contest, become a follower or subscribe to this blog!)

Besides, aren't you just dying to find out?! (And seriously, I'm not pregnant, folks...)
