Giveaways are very fun and I love being able to offer some really great products for all of you to enter to win!!!  As with anything though a few rules are necessary to keep things running smoothly .

Basics: I typically offer a new giveaway every Thursday or Friday, but occasionally I will take a break here or there.  Giveaways will be open for entries for 10 to 14 days depending on my schedule.  At the end of that time, I will use Random.org to choose a number (numbers are clearly displayed on comments) and will then contact the winner using the email they left IN THEIR COMMENT (so make sure it’s one you check). You will then have 3 days to respond before I choose another winner.

How to Enter: In order to enter a giveaway, just visit the website/shop sponsoring the giveaway (their links will be throughout the post) and take a look around.  When you’re done just come back to the post and leave a comment.  Don’t say things like…”enter me” or “I want this”!  I’m pretty specific that you must mention either a product you love and/or why you love it!

Extra Entries: I love being able to offer extra entries!  I was listing these extras on every single post, but it was getting rather redundant, so I decided to put that information.  Please note, once you are aware of the extra entries you do not need to keep checking this page, just participate in whichever ones you want to get extra entries for each giveaway…Also, make sure that for each separate entry you need to leave a separate comment telling me what one you did (you can do one or all):

• Tweet the giveaway…Just post a link to the giveaway on Twitter.  I’m @afroginmysoup, so be sure to include that at the end so I can see it. Don’t forget to come back and leave another comment telling me you tweeted!
• Submit to a social network.  I have many social networking links at the bottom of each post.  For each one you submit to you can leave a comment letting me know (I love technorati, mommy blips, kirtsy and stumble upon).
• Write a post about this giveaway on your own blog!  When it has posted, just leave a comment with a link to your post.

This page may be updated from time to time so you’re welcome to check back.

Of course, all giveaways are void where prohibited and the sponsor chooses which countries they are willing to ship to!
