Changes and Giveaways!

Okay, so in the beginning when I first started my original blog [Travelin' With Marie] back in 2009, I used to enter SO many giveaways. Sometimes I won, but they were all digital things like advertisement on other blogs. In the past couple of years, I haven't really done anything to this blog. That will change in 2012. This will be a great year for me. I will be improving my life in so many ways and finally focusing on myself.

Alright, back to the giveaways. The idea for this post is to write about more giveaways. But this time a lot of them will be tangible items that I get to receive in the mail. Who doesn't love actual postal mail? I know I do! So without further ado, here is the first giveaway I will post about.

This giveaway is sponsored by Stephanie Odea. She is giving away 18 books and dvds. There are some good books in the batch! I would love to win any of them, but I'm hoping for The Money Savin' Mom's Budget. If you would like to enter the giveaway, enter here. Here is a picture of the books (taken from her site).

Reviews About Me

I was a sponsor for a recent contest where the participants had to write reviews about the sponsors. Here are the links to the five people who wrote reviews about me. This post is mainly for my personal memories.
