CBS Cares and So Do We Giveaway

We love it when companies take part in raising awareness for health issues - we love it even more when the issue is near and dear to our hearts, namely, colon cancer awareness. :)

By now, we hope you have seen this great ad featuring Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne regarding the CBS Cares Colonoscopy Sweepstakes. If you haven't seen it yet, go check it out.

We invite you to take part in CBS Cares Colonoscopy Sweepstakes. Enter to win the Grand Prize: A 4-Day/3-Night trip to New York, NY and a Colonoscopy procedure for the grand prize winner. Prize consists of round-trip coach air transportation for grand prize winner and guest to New York, NY from a single major U.S. airport nearest the prize winner's home, double occupancy deluxe hotel accommodations for three (3) nights, a colonoscopy procedure for the grand prize winner only and $500 cash. NOTE: This sweepstakes is open only to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia, 40-79 years of age at the time of entry. :( Sad for those of us younger who are at risk due to family history of the disease...but we are still happy to show our support.

To get everyone motivated to sign up, we're hosting a little giveaway of our own! We're giving away eight Ozzy Osbourne downloads for "Rock Band 3"! NOTE: We are NOT giving away the game Rock Band 3, just a code to unlock eight Ozzy Osbourne downloads for the game.

Good luck and happy entering!

June Sponsors - Skoy Cloth

How did Skoy Cloth get their name? Skoj (pronounced Skoy) is a Swedish word that means: “just for fun”! And fun they are! Skoy Cloths were created by two friends wanting a cleaning cloth that was durable and earth-friendly. Skoy Cloths are durable 100% bio-degradable cleaning cloths available in a wide range of colors and prints.

A little more about the Skoy Cloth from their site:

"The SKOY cloth is a fabulous, absorbent, biodegradable and natural multi-use cloth. Our re-usable earth friendly cloth is perfect in your kitchen, bathroom, and on most surface areas in your home or office. SKOY cloth can be used in place of your sponge, wash cloth or paper towels.

It is a European made product and 100% biodegradable because it is made from a natural cotton and wood-based cellulose pulp. SKOY cloth is a chlorine-free product using water-based colors and inks. After an independent composting test, SKOY cloth broke down completely within 5 weeks.

The SKOY cloth is a durable product due to the reusability factor and can last months. Using a SKOY cloth is equivalent to using 15 rolls of paper towels in an average home. With the high cost of paper towels, as much as $2 per roll, SKOY cloth is the obvious choice for your wallet and the environment.

The SKOY cloth has an absorption factor of 15x its own weight. As a result, producing the most superior cloth product available. Imagine using 15 sheets of good-quality paper towels at once… This is how a wet SKOY cloth will feel in your hand.

The SKOY cloth is long-lasting because of the wash ability feature. It dries quickly, so it is not a breeding ground for bacteria. Have you ever used your sponge, then smelled your hand and it reeked of horrible bacteria? That will never happen again if you microwave your SKOY cloth regularly. It is also dishwasher and washer/dryer safe. Cleaning your SKOY cloth will keep it healthy and germ-free. Please see Use & Care for instructions.

The cool and unique designs will make cleaning fun!"

Please stop by and thank them for their support and generosity! Skoy Cloth has been kind enough to donate 2 2-pack Large cloth with paws print and 3 4-pack Mixed colors with flower print as a prize for our June raffle. Be sure to get your tickets prior to midnight June 30th to get in on all fun!

June Sponors - BelleDangles

BelleDangles was created by two best friends, Diana Liermann Unay and Rebecca Falkowski, who dreamed of the perfect jewelry and accessory organizer. With the help of Diana's hubby, Jeff, their dreams have come to life.

Here is a little about their organizers straight from their site:

"Unlike jewelry boxes, BelleDangles Jewelry Organizers keep jewelry and accessories in their place solving the issue of tangled necklaces and missing earrings. Plus, because it is a wall organizer, it saves space on dressers and counter tops!

All three BelleDangles jewelry organizers hold necklaces, bracelets, rings, both stud and dangle earrings and accessories including hair bands, ties, scarves, belts, hats and handbags.

Also includes a shelf on top - perfect for a mirror, picture frame, candle or additional storage.

BelleDangles Classic - over 110 pieces
BelleDangles Classic Mini - over 75 pieces
Bella - over 75 pieces"

The BelleDangles Classic is perfect for an extensive jewelry collection while the Classic Mini is ideal for smaller collections. The Bella is spot on for the favorite little girl in your life or the woman who is a girl at heart and loves pink. The pieces stand alone or could be grouped together for an impressive jewelry and accessory display.
