Yet another giveaway! Woo hoo!

by Jillian @ http://blueshelled.com . July 27, 2009 . 9:20AM

Ok, I get it. There were some seriously disappointed people after yesterday’s giveaway. Makeup is a pretty good gig and here in about a month, there will be more of it up for giveaway. One of the things I want to do with this blog is do more giveaways, even if they are smaller ones.

So, to help ease the disappointment and sting for those that did not win, I’m going to put up ANOTHER giveaway. Yeah, I can’t afford to keep these running ALL the time (unless you all want to hit the donations stuff on the right hand side of the screen or click on the ads more frequently), BUT I can do them more often when I have things to share.

Today, I have something that those of you that are addicted to office supplies, like me, will LOVE. It’s something from mytagalongs, which is a site I’ve spoken about here a couple of different times. These super-fantastic Sticky-notes-to-go are small enough to be carried in your purse and are excellent for work, your journal or your daily planner and I have ONE to give away to a lucky winner this week!

The theme this week is our dwindling blockbuster list. I need movie suggestions! Help a sister out!

1) Leave a comment before July 30, 2009 at 5pm CST telling me what movie we should add to our blockbuster list.

You can leave up to THREE movie comments. Yep, that’s three chances right there.

2) You can tweet this giveway and/or link it on facebook or your own blog for extra chances to win! Make sure you leave individual comments so all of your entries count. (That’s an extra 2 chances!)

Things to know:
**Anyone may enter as long as I can read your post (must be in English).
**Comments posted after the deadline won’t be included in the drawing.
**If you win, you must email me your mailing address within a week of the drawing end in order to receive your prize. I am not responsible for anything that happens once this stuff leaves my hands (like getting lost in the mail).
**I will be using a randomizer to choose the winner of the giveaway. As long as your answer fits the criteria, you are eligible (unless you are me, Leon or A.J.).

P.S. People that are on my twitter followers list get a sneak peek of giveaways and a heads up that they are coming. Why not follow me on twitter?

Ooooh, Shiny: When girls like tech gadgets, too.

by Jillian @ http://blueshelled.com . March 30, 2009 . 3:02AM

Hey, this journal isn’t just a flaming ball of negativity! Like anyone else, I get excited when I find something new and shiny that catches my eye because of the coolness factor. It doesn’t happen often because, due to the amount of time I spend on the internet daily, I see a lot of nifty gadgets, but there normally isn’t an entire site of them that makes me think I need to open my pocketbook in an otherwise nasty economy.

Today, I was introduced to mytagalongs. This site has a shiny factor of 8.5 because of the coolness of it’s gadgets. Boys have tool sites, girls have tampon cases and purse organizers. I do have several men who read this site, so I’m not writing you guys off. There were also some cool items on there that were gender neutral such as running bands to keep items in while you are getting your fitness on as well as inexpensive shaving kit cases or even an entire office to go for your briefcase.

Also, if you want to make your wife really happy, I cannot tell you how much a wife would appreciate The Handywoman’s Kit for her purse. The Swiss Co. makes another version of this for about $20 more and it’s certainly not as pretty.

I have gone forth and spread the word and I urge you to check it out. The prices are VERY reasonable as is the shipping. I placed an order today, so I will let you know if it takes forever to get here. I’m looking forward to the purse organizer. Anything that cleans out my purse can’t be a bad thing.
