Zip Bin Giveaways

Zip Bins are one of the coolest things I've stumbled upon recently.  They are play mats which close up into bins and carrying cases...so your kids can open them, play with their toys, then close them back up with all the toys inside!  More fun...less mess!

The following blogs are hosting giveaways for zip bins!

Free Snapfish Photo Collage - Maybe!

Yesterday Dallas Mommy posted a coupon for a free collage posters at Snapfish!  Not sure how long it lasts but the code is POSTERBABY if you want to try it (you pay $1.99 shipping...which is pretty cheap for what you're getting).

There's my kiddos playing in the snow!   (Yes, we had snow...in TEXAS...that was nice enough to build a snowman with.  Amazing!  )

 I love how the Snapfish collages work...you just put in a bunch of photos and they arrange them for you in a nice spiffy collage (other places have you place photos in their arrangements...but this comes out more streamlined).  You can re-shufffle the photos but I do wish you could save different versions somewhere so you could compare several shuffles and pick the one you like best (well, you can save them in your cart but then you have to start from scratch again).  Or, that you could swop photos of the same size/orientation manually, so that your favorites are the biggest ones.

Aloha Friday/Two Question Thursday

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday. Every Friday (well, ok, almost every Friday) I ask a simple question for you to answer--nothing that requires a lengthy response.  I'm combining this with Two Question Thursday (same idea...only TWO questions).

This week I've been participating in a wonderful event called One World One Heart,  where bloggers around the world post giveaways and share a little bit about themselves. And boy has it been fun!  I've met people from around the world and even someone who lives near my hometown!  You can still join in on the fun!  Blogger's can join up through February 12th. 

So, this week's questions are related to that:

1. Have you ever heard of One World One Heart?
2. If you are participating, tell me about one interesting person/blog you stumbled upon in your OWOH travels.

You can answer in the comments.  Thanks!

In my travels I've found many, many wonderful bloggers with interesting stories.  Something one blogger said really touched my heart.  She mentioned many different things she loved and did...and then said "But God has my heart more than these."  It made me think about what has my heart.  You can visit her blog here.

Would you like to see my one world posts?  I have several blogs, which is why I have more than one.    Here they are, and what I'm giving away:

Such Fun to Give (Buttons)
Scribbleprints (Bookmarks and Stickers)
Texifornia (Postcards)

If you have a blog and would like to post your own questions you can leave your link on the appropriate day at the linkys at 2 Questions Thursday and An Island Life.

Fair Trade Chocolate Giveaways

Before I go on to list the giveaways, I want to ask you something:  Did you know that slavery still exists today?  I'm not talking about people being paid low wages, or not having opportunities, or even children who have to work to help their families.  I'm talking  people being forced to work without pay, who can not leave, who are kept working under threat of violence...who are slaves in the full traditional sense of the word.   And sadly, there are more slaves today than in any time in human history.

With Valentines coming up, it's sad to know that  the cocoa in the chocolate we'll enjoy that day may have grown and harvested with slave labor.   While the cocoa industry has taken steps to deal with the problem, Hershys is still lagging behind.   Various groups around the net are encouraging people to send Hershys a Valentine message to do more to prevent slavery in their supply chain.

Buying Fair Trade chocolate is another way to help.  It supports companies who are already taking extra efforts to keep their supply chain slave free, and when they thrive, larger companies take note.  I'll be updating this post through Valentines, so if you know of any ones I missed, please share them.

I thought I'd track down some Fair Trade Chocolate giveaways going on in the blogosphere and share them with you...it's a fun way to get to know about some of the fair trade options out there!  A lot of these are low entry too!

Valentines Giveaway Winners

Random.org chose #99 for the winner...

So, Cerena Leigh won!  Then I miscounted and thought skipthelaundry won...and e-mailed her before I realized that.  And I'm not going to e-mail her back and say "Oh wait, you actually didn't win."  That's just mean.  So she won too!  Luckily I had some extra to give away!

Thanks for everyone who participated and helped out the charities by clicking and all the other little good deeds!  You all are AWESOME!  I've never had such a response before, and I'm sure it wasn't just for my little Valentines.
