Mother's Day Giveaway - Win a Sun Jar!

I've been telling you all it was going to happen, and it finally has.  EventSpiration has teamed up with Convenient Gadgets and Gifts to host a Mother's Day Giveaway.  One lucky person is going to Win a Sun Jar!

Yesterday, I posted my review of the Sun Jar.  You can read it here if you missed it.   Now here's your chance to win one for yourself.  Simply follow the steps below and you'll be entered in the drawing.  The contest is open until 12:01 a.m. on Sunday, May 13th (Mother's Day).  The winner will be chosen by random drawing through Rafflecopter and announced on this blog before 8:00pm Eastern Standard Time on Mother's Day evening.

Here are the directions to enter.  NOTE:  Please don't start doing these things until you've read through all the directions.  Use the Rafflecopter form below to enter the contest.  There are different ways to enter, and you can earn additional points/entries for taking the extra steps.

1. Mandatory Entry:  Leave a comment on this blog post.  Any comment.  Just say hi, tell me which post of mine you liked, tell me about your own blog.  I'll even come visit your blog if you leave me a link.  (1 entry point awarded).

For extra points/entries, you can do the following if you wish.  These are completely OPTIONAL and are just ways to get extra points/entries in the contest:

1. "Like" EventSpiration's FaceBook page. (5 entry points awarded)
2. "Like" Convenient Gadgets & Gift's Facebook page (5 entry points awarded)
3. If you have a Twitter account, you can send out one "Tweet" a day about the contest, directing people to this page to enter.  (10 entry points awarded)
4. Follow me on Twitter.  (10 entry points awarded)

*Update-May 2, 2012*  As much as I hate to have to even post this, I've already found people who are trying to cheat.  If you are going to put your name in for the extra points/entries, you must complete the steps required.  I am able to tell if you take the 10 entries for following me on Twitter, but never follow me, or take the 10 entries for tweeting about the contest but never do, etc.  Please everyone, let's be adults.  I really don't want to have to babysit this contest, if you're going to take the points/extra entries then complete the steps.  If I can't verify that you've complete the steps your name will be deleted.  It's not fair for someone to get 31 entries who did absolutely nothing when there are people who are really out there helping me to promote this contest.  Thank you to those of you who are following the steps and adding extra entries by helping me to promote this contest.  I appreciate it so much!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.  Best of luck to everyone!
