I love giveaways...

Over at Blissfully Domestic's Financial bliss, we are giving away this lovely all-in-one Kodak printer.

The Kodak Print and Prosper campaign is showing everyone all the vast amounts of money they lose with the more expensive than diamonds ink cartridges. I stopped printing pics at all, but now with less pricey ink I will. I am excited. I may even scrapbook...

Ok, I was totally delusional about scrapbooking. Nevermind.

Just for fun, I decided to see if I could work it without reading instructions. I never read instructions. Ever. Which *may* explain why I can not take a decent picture.

Anyhoo, I decided to scan my Kimba pin. {seriously, is that pin cute or what?}

Stop laughing at my pictures. I am awful behind a camera. I give the Photo Bliss Divas nightmares.

Get on over to Financial Bliss to enter. It's super easy. We'll draw the winning comment # on Friday. Good luck. ;)

Buttons for Worthington Wire

I have beautiful entries for the Worthington Wire button contest. They all will be feauture on the WW button page. I hope to make it easy for you to grab buttons that will compliment your blogs. Who wants to clash right? 

So many people have asked me to hold open the contest until after Blissdom because everyone is so busy preparing. So I will keep it open a couple more weeks. Then we will vote on who wins the photo necklace.

You want to win it, I know you do! :)

Stuff I liked- "This stuff rocks"

Y'all know I do reviews. But really, who wants to see a bunch of boring reviews or reviews telling you how awesome a mediocre product was? What about writing some tired lines about a product that sucks? Not me.

I decided if I like something, you will know. If I don't, you won't. Unless the product really sucks, like bleaches out your colored clothes. {coughs-Tide with Bleach Alternative-coughs}

Without further ado, I give you, "This stuff rocks."

 

List Plan It. I tried it. I liked it. I am even buying the extended plan to keep using it. Affordable, good stuff.

Brain Child Magazine. Totally worth the subscription fee. Not the usual fluff you see in parenting magazines. For the "Thinking Mom."

Half Moon Ranch books. My stepdaughter (13) loves horses and is very picky about books. I didn't read them, but she said they were great. She would know!

   

Oral B Vitality toothbrush. Got it and loved it. Loved it so much you get one too. Leave a comment about your favorite thing you ate over Thanksgiving. I'll pick a random winner and you will get a new fancy schmancy toothbrush. Cool, huh?

I have a few other products I am reviewing. Some things I am still reading or deciding on. One thing rawks my sawks, you'll see it on Friday. {swoon} Some others stink hard, I'll just pretend I never saw them. :)

Love, alli

Build a Bear & Little Dude have a present for you

The wonderful people at Build a Bear sent my sweet Little Dude the new Holly & Hal Moose {mooses, meese, moosi }. He is recovering from his surgery and I snapped this cute little picture {sorry for the bad lighting} of him today with his beloved Hal.

Little Dude is a week past his tonsillectomy today, but caught a nasty cold from his big brothers. He has an awful cough. Can you imagine? He sleeps with his meese, mooses, moosi and watches lots of Backyardigans.

I have a $25 gift card to Build a Bear. One lucky chick from my comment section will be chosen on Saturday. See how easy Christmas can be this year? I'm just giving stuff away. :)

Love you all, Alli

 

Beautiful Header Contest- We have a winner!

The voting was so fun for all the beautiful headers. I loved getting to show off so many great designers. I am thrilled to announce we have a winner, and her name is...

The Fabulous Friends of Fussy chose her design to grace my site when I relaunch into the new fancy-schmancy digs.

Isn't it just {swoon}able?

Carrie won a "megan" photo necklace from my own little business.

I will start promoting my jewelry for the Christmas season next week. Momma needs to buy presents for the kids! {blush}

Because I love you and I want to reward my weekend readers, if you order before Sunday night at midnight you will get 10% off and free matching earrings for any necklace you order. And remember 10% of any profits go to my charities.

Come on over and visit. I make some really pretty things. ;)

Love, Alli

Show Off Your Work & Win Some Jewelry!

I'm a woman of questionable taste. I love LoLs, odd SNL skits and humor based on flatulence and falling down. {hey, I live with 6 men} I have been told lovingly by the creative staff at Blissfully Domestic that I must stop making my own headers. My graphics are, well, cheesy.

I won a fancy-schmany move to Wordpress & custom theme by Sharp Wit Designs from the wonderful Green and Clean Mom. I am so excited to get a new home for my little blawg. I have some BIG plans for the site. Lots of new bells and whistles. I've mentioned before that I dumped all the ads (except for the ones I must keep per my contract) and I am joyfully planning new features and fun things to do to keep my site fun and new.

I want to feature a new header every month made by up and coming designers. I want to showcase a new designer's work every month. This will help the designers by giving them free advertising and help me because I get bored. I need new eyecandy for my blog ;)

Here are the details-

• My blog URL will be mrsfussypants.com
• The title will just be Mrs. Fussypants
• I will keep my tagline, "We can't both look good, it's me or the house."
• The headers will be 940 pixels wide by 250 pixels tall.

Submit your entry via email and next Monday I will display them all, with links to your site.

We will then begin voting for the reader's favorite header!

The reader favorite will be the first header to be displayed when the site has a fancy relaunch.

The winner receives-

A custom made photo necklace from moi.

So start sending in your entries. Show the world just how beautiful your work is!

Remember voting starts Monday at noon.

Good luck and my love to you all,

Alli

Name that Inappropriate Photo

There is just so much wrong here! Have fun with this one. So go Name that Inappropriate photo!

Love, Alli

**Quick Housekeeping Note**

I have a confession to make. I have not mailed out winning earrings for the contest in two months {cowers}. I think about it, I feel awful, I say, "I'll do it tomorrow." So now I'm in a hole. Halp!!

If you won a Name tht Photo contest please, please email me so I can apologize profusely and mail them A.S.A.P. {blush}

Voting, Funnies & a new Game

Ok, you know of my deep love of Twitter. The Bloggess (TeamJenny in here, Yo!) found this gem. Now, if you don't tweet, or have kids nearby, or don't like bad language, don'y watch, m'K? You were warned.

I give you- "No Twitter for Hitler"

And the FAIL of the day-

see more pwn and owned pictures

Ok, now, let's do another game in the comments, K? Tell me if you had to be a charactor from Sesame Street who would you be and why? Oh, come on, you've so thought about it. Yes, you have!

Love, Fuss

Fussy's Last Minute Giveaway!

Tomorrow Mr. Smartypants and I will check into the hospital at midnight (cruel and unusual don't you think?) I have been scrambling around finishing up all the things I wait till the last minute about that need to be finished.

Last week my friend, Pioneer Woman, had a blow out giveaway extravaganza. So maybe I can't quite giveaway all that cool stuff (Hello HP, sponser me too, Please!) but I can give you some Fussy Bling!

The winner will have two designs to choose from-

Entering is easy. I just want to know more about YOU! Leave at least one or more of these answers in the comments...

• Your favorite song right now.

• Your favorite TV show.
• A random fact about how awesome you are.

I have a specific number in mind that will be the winning comment. I'll tell you when I announce the winner. If I tell you now, it will be too easy to figure it out! The winner will be announced first thing in the morning.

Love to you, you, you, and you there with the new haircut (very nice!), Fussy
