The cool thing about blog giveaways is you can usually tell now many people are entered. The less entered, the better your chances to win. Here's some I found with low entries ending soon.
Hello, and welcome fellow Squido Lensmasters! For those who aren't travelling here by blog hop and don't know what Squidoo is, it's just a place where you can make nifty little web pages about any topic you choose, and maybe earn a little money for yourself or a charity in the process.
QUESTS AND QUESTIONS?
Squidoo has been having a lot of one day quests where you go out and find a lens on a particular topic to like. Today's is Pigs, Pork, and Bacon. So, here's the thing, if you happen to have a lens on that topic, or any other squidoo quest topic that's "likeable" this week, I'd love to hear about your lens. Just leave a comment below with the lens you have and the quest related to it, and I'll take a look at it.
NEW LENS- WANT TO SWOP LINKS?
I have a new lens on Teaching and Educational Linky Parties. If you have an education related lens, I might want to swop sidebar links with you. Let me know. :-)
Three Hearts DVD (3/6)
This giveaway is for a movie about people working to save the lives of three Mongolian children with life-threatening heart defects. I think that's a giveaway for good just based on what's being given away!
GIVEAWAYS EARNING MONEY FOR CHARITY:
Don't you just love when people get together to do a giveaway AND give to charity. Here's a few giveaways like that.
There are as many as 26 million slaves in the world today. This month we've been hosting the Hearts Should Be Free event to raise awareness of this issue, and I've skipped a few Charitable Gift Guide Tuesday's. But I can't skip this one. All of the items below help charities which fight slavery and help it's victims. Click on the individual listing to see which organization the product supports, and how much is donated.
Wow! There's just a couple days left to Hearts Should Be Free and I am so excited and moved by the response. I wanted to let everyone know they have a few more days to enter the giveaways (today's the last day to enter the Linky Volunteer $5 Amazon giveaway, so don't miss that). I also wanted to let you know I've added more extra entry options to all but the Amazon giveaway. Those extra entries are for...
1. Singing up to be notifies of next years event
2. Signing up to help with next years event
Yep, that's right. I plan to make this an annual thing! Next year I plan to involve others more. I'll be letting other blogs host some of the giveaways, and doing a broader search for giveaway sponsors. And of course I'll need people to help promote, and to help typo check. So if you're interested, go to any giveaway still open you've already entered and sign up, or if you don't care about the extra entries, just e-mail me at ecarian at yahoo dot com.
For this Hearts Should Be Free Giveaway I wanted to give away something map related. Not having a lot to spend, I found some rolled map beads on Etsy for $1, and made these out of them and some beads I already had. Not bad, I say!
Oh, and, I have to share the envelope Sarah Pepper sent the beads in....I mean isn't that cool! (Sorry, cool envelope not included with giveaway).
But wherever you live, whether here or across the world, I wanted to show you just how close slavery comes!
TO ENTER
To enter to win, visit http://www.slaverymap.org. Find your country or state, and click where you think your city is. Find the closest incident (marked by an orange exclamation...or by a number if there are more than one incident). Pick one incident near where you live, open it up, and read it. Then share in the rafflecopter below a detail from the incident.
Remember, these are only the incidents reported to Slavery Map and confirmed. There are other incidents of slavery which don't show up on this map. But it gives you an idea of the scope. The nearest incident to me was about an hour away. The victim was a 19-year-old woman who had been kept in a Texas hotel for 3 days and forced to have sex with four men. She found a way to call family at home, and they called the police who rescued her. This happened in 2010.
