Casey Dominquez - Sredin!!
This girl is an old high school friend who I recently found on Facebook. She's a real sweetheart and I guess her 5 entries paid off! Congratulations and enjoy!
Thanks to all who entered. I'll be doing another giveaway soon, but I'm not sure what's going to be up for grabs next time..... any suggestions?

It's giveaway time!

2009-08-14T14:05:00.000-07:00

I am excited to announce that I am doing my first giveaway! Up for grabs is this set of super cool and ultra handy Sunshine Scrubbers. These dish cloths are handmade by me. I was always a dish sponge kind of gal until I made my first scrubber and now I am hooked. These things are so awesome! They scrub way better than regular dish sponges, they are non scratch, extremely durable, and completely washable and reusable. They also hold your dish soap better than regular sponges, especially if you use the foaming kind. I use one for a sink full of dishes then toss it in with the dirty towels to be washed. I always use a fresh clean scrubber with every load of dishes so I never have to worry so much about those icky germs that linger around in regular sponges.
Okay, so on to the giveaway! This will be done the old fashioned way of drawing a name out of a hat. To enter all you have to do is leave a comment. However if you would like more than one entry you can write a post about this giveaway, add me to your blogroll, follow me, add my blog button to your blog, add my little shop button to your blog, follow me on Facebook, post a link to my little shop on Myspace, Twitter, or whatever else you can think of! Just be sure to let me know what you have done so that I can give you the appropriate number of entries and please make sure also that you leave me some sort of contact info: email address, etc (of course you don't have to publicly display this info, you can email it to me). Deadline to enter is Friday August 21st at 4:00 PM central time. The winner will be drawn on Friday evening, announced on Saturday, and the super cute Sunshine Scrubbers will be mailed out on Monday. Good luck! :)
