Sweet Papery Giveaway Winner!

I am so excited about this giveaway and I really wish this post was going to announce ME as the winner... but I guess that wouldn't really be fair :). I'm so glad I have something fun to post since blogger has been driving me cRaZy (For example, I edited the labels on one of my old "What We Love Wednesday" posts and it republished it as a new post tonight... that's never happened before and I'm super annoyed). So, I sat down this evening and wrote out a list of all the entries and assigned each entry a number. I used the oh so popular random number generator on  random.org to choose a winner... and here it is:

Well Gwendolyn, it looks like you will get to find out how cool it is to stamp your name on your games before loaning them out! Email me at FantasticFirstBlog (at) gmail (dot) com in the next 24 hours so I can let you know how to claim your prize! Congrats! And for all of you who did not win, THANK YOU for entering my giveaway and participating. I definitely reccommend heading over to Sweet Papery and ordering a stamp for yourself... you won't be disappointed. It makes sending everything SO. MUCH. FUN. Yes, I even stamp my monogram address stamp on bills!

What We Love Wednesday - Giveaways!

Last week my teammate Mrs. Claborn from A Burst of First and I launched our first "What We Love Wednesday" posts. Our first posts were about something near and dear to us - technology, more specifically websites. Since this week is Spring Break, and giveaway fever is in the air, we decided our Spring Break edition of "What We Love Wednesday" should be all about the great giveaways going on now, as well as OUR VERY FIRST GIVEAWAY!

Awesome Giveaways Going On NOW:

• The girls over at What the Teacher Wants are giving away a $100 gift card to the Container Store! Imagine how much you could do with $100!!!

• Thirst for First and The Inspired Apple have teamed up to give away Abby's new adjective activity and an air popper!

• Check out The First Grade Parade to find out how you can win a $25 promotional code to use at any of the MANY CSN stores.

And finally.... OUR GIVEAWAY! We've been blogging since February 2nd and our baby blogs sure are growing, so it's about time, right?! We are SUPER excited to find out who will win a $25 gift certificate to SCRAPPIN' DOODLES! We love the price and selection of this adorable site and know you will too - you probably do already! Plus, I love that I can find what I need, buy it quickly, download and use! It's almost too easy... :) Here's what you need to do to enter:

1. Follow my blog - Leave me a comment to let me know you are now or already are following!

2. Follow A Burst of First - Leave her a comment to let her know you are now or already are following!
