Flip Camcorder Giveaway

These little cameras are so cool, my parents got one at Christmas and were having a lot of fun with it. If you haven't heard of the Flip Video, it's a pocket sized camcorder that's extremely easy to use. It can hold up to 60 minutes of video right on the camera-you don't have to worry about remembering videotapes or cards. You can easily upload the videos to your computer and it also has built-in software that lets you email your videos or upload them to YouTube. My parents were having a blast with it and since then I've heard of other friends who love it too. I was thinking it might be a great idea for my preteen daughter to use on our upcoming Disney trip. As I was searching for it, I found that Babytalk magazine has a giveaway for one going on right now. You just need to fill out the online entry form (you'll also find a link to the official rules there). You can enter through through 1/26/2009 and they are giving three of them away.

My SITSMAS Card

Merry SITMAS! The Secret is in the Sauce (SITS for short) is having a fun day of festivities including giveaways every hour and lots of SITSMAS cards to look at and link to! I would love to win the grand prize-a $200 Target gift card! Yesterday we had a virtual cookie swap and online shopping fun and today it's a virtual holiday party! Who knew blogging was so much fun! :)

If you came here card-hopping from SITS, here is the next one.

Virtual Cookie Exchange

Making Christmas cookies is one of my favorite holiday traditions. My blogging friend Melinda at "Bloggin' it From The 'Burbs" is hosting a cookie recipe exchange.

Here are the details from her blog in case I get them wrong (I have been known to do that once or many times):

"...on Monday, December 1st (that's 2 weeks from today, people) post your favorite cookie recipe on your blog, link back to "Bloggin' It From The 'Burbs" either with your own link in your post or you can grab one of the following widgets. Then come back to my page, add a comment and at that point I will have a "Mr. Linky" so that a link to your post will show up on my blog. And who can hold a party without having some kind of door prize? Certainly not me! So, depending on how many of you decide to join in, I will either draw a name out of a hat (so very official, don't you think?) or get one of those random-number-picker-thingies (don't you just love my non-technical terminology?) and one of you will win this very lovely Southern Living Incredible Cookies cookbook, filled with page after page of mouth-watering cookie recipes and photos. "

So, anyone who reads this blog is also invited by Melinda. It is a fun way to get a lot of new cookie recipes and maybe even win a new Southern Living cookbook!
