ANOTHER addiction! PLUS… a contest/give-away.

Yeah, I’ve got a brand new thing that is totally wasting all my time… so much so, that I do not even remotely want to post another Lobster Bake recipe today… tomorrow, I promise! 

Instead, today I shall tell you about my addiction … AND… we shall have a little give-away.  Sound Fun? YES IT DOES!!!

So… my big new thing is Pinterest. I know, it’s been around for quite some time, but I’ve been avoiding it like the plague. Until. Now.

Now, I…. well, I basically – love it! The stuff you can find on it… totally and completely A – M – A – Z – I – N – G !  And the time you can waste… terrifying!

For instance, I stumbled upon (I know that is a whole other matter – and I will not succumb to stumbleupon.com, I will not!)… oh, as I was saying, I stumbled upon THIS…

Did you click on that link? Wasn’t that the coolest thing ever? How about numbers 3, 7, 8, 10, and 23?!? Go back and check them out again… Yup, I’m going to do all of those, really, I am!

So, if you want to check out my Pinterest boards (they will grow, I’ve only been at this for two days now!) you can go to this LINK. And – if you join Pinterest, you can follow me, and I’ll follow you too.

Speaking of following (great segue – if I do say so) … here is the contest/giveaway. 

Did you see that #22 on the great website I linked you to? That is a total coincidence. I swear! Yesterday I was returning something to Tuesday Morning and I spotted all these cute cupcake liners and I thought to myself, “These would make a great contest give-away.” Now when I say “great” I mean cute and cheap. So I picked up a few, mixed them up in their packages to make a better “Superior Quality” assortment, and now I have 3 packs to give away.

Here is all you have to do to have a chance to win one…

Leave me a comment here on the blog between now and Monday. For each comment you leave on any post, you get a ticket that goes into the drawing. Leave 15 comments on 15 different posts … 15 chances to win! Now, you ask yourself, “Why and what could I possibly comment on?”  Hey, why not go back to the link again and then come back and share with me what fun and inexpensive crafty gift thingy you are planning to make with your own hands.

OR

Better yet. If you are on Facebook – you have even better odds. If you already “Like” Les Petites Gourmettes on Facebook – thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you don’t – do so now and you get TWO tickets or chances to win.  I currently have 277 followers. My goal? How about 325? Lofty, I know, but I have faith in you people!

OR

If you already follow – just get a friend to also follow, and you get THREE tickets or chances to win! That’s right, for EACH new friend YOU get to follow LPG on FB, you get 3 tickets! Just be sure to have them leave me a comment saying that YOU told them to follow LPG.  Plus… they will get 2 tickets as new followers. (If you’re thinking, “How can I get all my friends to follow it?” see the postscript at the bottom)

Is this too complicated to just win a few “Superior Quality” cupcake liners? NO, it’s good clean fun!  So to summarize …

1. Each comment left on this blog (on any post) between now and midnight (AZ time) Monday = 1 chance to win.
2. Each new “Like” on Facebook = 2 chances to win
3. Each time YOU twist a friend’s arm to “Like” it on Facebook = 3 chances to win

There will be 3, YES, as in THREE, grand prize winners. Drawn from a big salad bowl and announced on Tuesday, January 31st. Each grand prize winner will receive one of these AWESOME sets of  80 cupcake liners!

The value of this free give-away? Seriously, does that really matter? I think not. But if you must know, I spent $28 (plus TAX) on four sets, just to be able to mix them up into these freakishly awesome assortments…. so yeah, the value is about $7 each, but my actual cost to make them so awesome was over $10 each!

So get to commenting and “liking”, and getting your friends “like”…. let the games begin!!!!

P.S. You ask, “How am I going to be able to get my hundreds of FB friends to “like” the LPG page? That sounds like too much work.”

No, it’s easy.  Just click on “share” at the bottom of today’s LPG Facebook page entry. And write in your comment box something like, “Hey friends, go to this page and “like” it and both you and I will be eligible to win a super sweet prize. Oh, and please just be sure to let them know that I’m the one who sent you there. Thanks and enjoy this fabulous FB page!“
