General Information

I'm so sorry, I posted a Giveaway for a Cook's Ham this morning but I didn't open the comments section so no one was able to enter AND I had the end date as November 12th instead of December 12th.   I really messed up on that one! LOL So if you tried to enter for the Cook's Ham you can enter now.  I'm very sorry!  It was just one of those mornings where my coffee was not working well. Speaking of Coffee --> I have a REALLY GREAT Giveaway coming up that I think everyone is going to love and this will be more of a Holiday gift for yourself.  Keep your eye's out.  Remember coffee is the clue!

We have some horizontal blinds in the house and I always put the strings up really high, I've heard way too many horror stories about kids being hurt by the strings. I was very excited when I came across this freebie for a FREE Child Saftey Kit for your blinds. You can get as many as you'd like too! Go here for your FREE Kit.

Here is a FREE Redbox Rental code that will be good for one free movie for one night.  Use code GANTS. You can find a Redbox Rental location near you here.

Sorry for the delay in posting the winner.  Once again I had problems viewing the comments.  Seems like a plug in I had installed was causing problems with the number of comments, but I think it's all set now. And the winner is......... #98 Sharon I've contacted Sharon and she will have 48 hours to claim her prize or I'll pick a new winner. Thanks to everyone who entered and don't forget when you shop online on Black Friday make sure you shop through Shop At Home.com and earn cash back!  You may even save more with some online coupons.

Doreen Scanlon from abc6 Providence interveiwed me for a report she's doing on Black Friday deals.  It's going to air at 6pm and then again at 11pm in two parts and she says I'll be on the 2nd part even more.  If you live in Rhode Island or MA/CT and you get the Provdence news watch for me.  My girls will probably be on at one point too.  They are excited to see themselves on TV.

So So SOOOOOOOOOOO sorry for the delay in getting the winner posted.  Somehow the file of that post got corupted and I can't view the post to see the comments but I found out how to view them in my dashboard (behind the scenes) BUT they aren't numbered!!! There were 528 entries so once I picked a number at Random.org I then had to count the comments to find the winning one!  Luckily it wasn't a very high number so it was faster than it could of been.  But anyways............. I will delay this no longer. The lucky winner of a $100 Visa Gift card courtesy of Scott Commen Sence Community is.............. #182 Barbara M Congrats Barbara!   I have contacted Barbara and she will have 48 hours...
