Corie's Canadian Contest Listings and Giveaways!!!

2008-11-04T10:58:00.000-08:00

OMG I can't believe it's been THAT long since my last post!!!! Well unfortunately too many things happened all at once and I was not able to update my blogs, or focus on any contests for that matter..
I am still getting over a horrible cold, and with being almost 7months pregnant and raising a 6 year old(who was also sick of course!! lol), there was just no time.

Anyways, I am slowly feeling better, and it's just a matter of getting re-organized and back into searching for contests to bring to you.. I do this for the fact that:
1. I love contests, and I love offering contests I find to others
2. Because I am just nice like that!! lol

So while I appreciate(gratefully) anyone who chooses to follow my blog here, I also want to express that this is not a job of mine, and that there probably will be more times in the future that I don't post anything new...after all, come January, I will have a new baby to take care of, and probably won't be spending all my days on this computer!!
I am hoping to one day make this a job of some sort, but I need the opportunities to come forth to do such.. in the meantime, it's just a hobby basically, and something I love to do.

Time to head back to reality, dirty dishes and all that fun stuff!!! lol

WINNER of the Organic Start Massage Oils Set from Mashala Baby Organics!!!

2008-10-12T07:21:00.000-07:00

My sincere apologies!!! When I first picked the announcement date, I didn't even clue into the fact that it was the actual day of my baby shower, and although my baby shower was absolutely wonderful yesterday, I didn't get the chance to come online to announce the winner until this morning!!!
So I seriously apologize for that!!!
On the plus note, my son Nickolas picked one lucky winner :D I can't post any pics because my camera batteries are dead, but without further ado, the winner of the Massage Oils set with bonus door pillow is ...

My apologies!!

2008-10-08T04:58:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone!!!

Well first I must start by apologizing... I am sincerely sorry that I haven't been updating since I announced my giveaway, I have been insanely busy trying to find more sites that offer canadian contests as well as blogs that offer canadian contests and giveaways...
If you know of a site that perhaps I haven't listed, or a blog that has canadian contests available, simply leave a comment, or write me a msg via email @ beautifulbabymamma@live.com

I thank anyone and everyone in advance :)

On a personal note, I am currently 25 weeks along in my second pregnancy, and feeling GREAT! I have been super busy helping plan my co-ed baby shower(which is this saturday, the day I announce the winner of the giveaway!!) sooooo, it's been really crazy in my lil world lately, but what can I say, I LOVE IT!!! lol

Also, I have been trying to find more Canadian companies that would be willing to sponsor a giveaway, so if you are a company or know of a company - again, please let me know.

Alright, well I need to get back to all the craziness going on, but know that I will be posting contests and giveaways again right after I announce the winner of the giveaway at the end of the weekend.

XOXO corie

GameGirlz.com- Win a Coupon Kit !!

2008-09-23T04:52:00.000-07:00

Gamegirlz.com is a very useful, resourceful site when it comes to hunting down those Canadian contests and freebies!!!! I actually just won a coupon kit through them which featured a cute,vinyl coupon holder-(which i so desperately needed!!! lol) and at least $20 of manufacturer coupons- there were 5 to win, and out of the 5, Gamegirlz is going to put a $20 Tim Hortons gift card in one of them,mix em up, and send them out to the winners. I hope I get that gift card, I LOVE my ice caps!!! lol :D

5 winners have already won, but the folks at Gamegirlz are so generous that they decided to extend the contest to 3 more winners. Catch is that they only get $10 worth of manufacturer coupons and a chance to win a $10 Timmies gift card.

Go check out the contest and other contest listings at Gamegirlz!!! Hurry though, those 3 coupons kits aren't going to last long!!! :)

CANADIAN FREE STUFF WEBSITE

Also, if you register with them and post(certain amounts of times) on their forums, you can win things such as thongs, shoe charms and magnets!!!

Something SPECIAL for my 1st GIVEAWAY!!! :D (COMING SOON!!)

2008-09-17T08:19:00.000-07:00

WOW!!!! This has been quite MY lucky day!!! :D First, I won a contest, and now, THANKS to that contest, I am SOOOO VERY PROUD to announce that I am going to host a GIVEAWAY right HERE on my blog!!!!!
This is such an exciting, thrilling thing for me!! Ok, so I wrote earlier to stay tuned for the details, so here they are!!!! :D
A few weeks back, I was searching through contests and giveaways, and found one regarding a company named Mashala Baby Organics ... And they were giving away a Organic Start Baby massage Oils Set . I could become a fan on Facebook and be entered to win.. so I entered, and it was this contest that I won this morning that has made my day :D
I received a message this morning through my Facebook, and it was the message that informed me that I won the massage oils set!!!! So I thought to myself that this was a great opportunity to set my "dream" in motion, which is to have a successful Canadian Contest and Giveaways blog... I kindly sent the company an email with my address (for delivery of my contest win) and a message with a link to this blog, and asked if there could be any way I get an extra one to give away for free right here!!!! I told myself the worst they could say is "No", but they didn't and that made my day even more!!!!! :D :D

I now have something GREAT to blog about AND have my 1st contest/giveaway!!!!
Mashala Baby Organics is a wonderful company, and even though I am not able to review their product just yet(no baby til January!!), I will so far say that I am definately impressed, and I see myself buying their products in the future!!! :D

More on Mashala Baby Organics soon!!!!
