"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. " -Helen Keller

Good Things Come To Those Who Blog

I am so excited. I get to be part of the Preferred Blogger Program through CSN Stores. CSN Stores has over 200 online stores where you can find everything from stylish handbags, to modern bar furniture, or great cookware.

I first found CSN Stores when I entered a giveaway sponsored by another one of their preferred bloggers. I won a $40 gift card and was able to buy this fabulous ice cream maker by Deni.  My kids have had so much fun with it and I've loved it for its quick and easy clean up.
Since then, I've been window shopping on a number of their sites and looking at gorgeous handbags...
Ellington Bella Crossbody in Paprika
fabulous cookware sets...
Farberware Affiniti Nonstick Aluminum Cookware in Red
and, unbelievably stunning shoes...
Shane and Shawn Women's KK Pump in Red Snake
Thanks to the wonderful people at CSN Stores, I am getting to select a product to review and I have a $45 gift code for one of you reading this right now.  While $45 won't cover the cost of these three red lovelies, it is enough to buy some pretty fabulous things through any of the 200+ online stores in the CSN Stores family. To get a chance to win the gift code, follow the directions below.

Remember, ONE COMMENT = ONE CHANCE TO WIN.  In other words, each additional chance to win requires an additional comment.  Winner to be chosen with the help of Random.org.


Mandatory Entry:
Visit CSN Stores or any one of their 200+ stores and tell me how you would spend your gift code

Extra Entries:
  • Follow my blog through Google Friends Connect and comment to tell me you do (1 chance)
  • Follow CSN Stores on Twitter and comment that you do (1 chance)
  • Follow me on Twitter and comment that you do (1 chance)
  • Tweet about the giveaway and leave me a link to your tweet in a comment (1 entry a day) - Check out this awesome #giveaway from @csnstores and @dragondream http://bit.ly/dtiFSv
  • Blog about the giveaway and leave me a link to the post in a comment (3 entries, so 3 comments)

The giveaway will run from now until 11:59 PM on October 29th.  Stop by on the 30th to see my review of my selected item and to find out who won. Make sure I can find your email address either on your profile or in a comment.  I need it to contact you if you win.

I would totally buy a blender. I've had several and burnt the motor out in all of them, so perhaps I should go bar grade.

Please random winner generator, pick me!!! My husband gets cravings for milkshakes, and I'd rather he made them at home with a sweet blender than pick them up at Mickey D's.

Oh, and I follow you at GFC, Kristin. ;-)

Jen said...

I would so buy my girls a dollhouse...and then build it with them. They have been bugging me for one.

Dear Random Winner Generator: I'm spacing out my entries in the faint hope that it will give me a better chance. See, my husband just got a craving for a melon smoothie, and I'm tired of jumping up and down. So I REALLY need that blender.

Kristin, I follow you on twitter. @amygdalarevenge
