THE CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED! THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR ENTRIES AND GOOD LUCK!
It's about time!
Guess what? I did away with the hard scavenger hunt!
But wait my pretties...you are still going to have to find and photograph these items (no fair lifting these off of Flckr or PhotoBucket):
- A sleeping dog with a banana peel on it's head
- A child eating an ear of corn with a sticker (even a bandaide, if that's all you have) on his/her forehead.
- A photograph of your ugliest pair of shoes.
- A photograph of what's under your bed, or your kids' bed, or hell, even your mother's bed.
- A photograph of you, or your S/O, or kids or another family member, with a milk mustache - But wait, there's one more thing...the person with the milk mustache must have a Post-It or some sort of sticker on their forehead with the name of your blog on it.
See, now isn't that easier than having to Weez the juice? Although, here's the kicker...if you still feel compelled to Weez the juice, by all means, go for it and be sure and get yourself photographed doing it and you'll be entered into a seperate drawing for a $50 Amazon gift certificate.
Now for the Rules
- Contest runs from 12:01AM EST Saturday September 20th, 2008 through 12:01AM EST Sunday October 12, 2008.
- Contest is open to international residents.
- You must use a recent photograph.
- You can enter the contest 5 times. In other words, for each of the 5 items you photograph, you can enter separately, thereby increasing your chances of winning. If you enter each item seperately you'll have 5 Mr. Linky entries. Get it? Questions? Email me.
- Winners will be drawn using the numbers given when you link back with Mr. Linky and will be determined using that Random Number Generator thingy. Your prizes will be mailed out within 5 days of the close of the contest.
- Your links must link back to a separate post on your blog for each entry.
So, what's up for grabs?
Glad you asked...
A Canon PowerShot A570IS Digital Camera (USD$275.00 )
A GorillaPod Go-Go Tripod (USD$30) (note: it's just the cool tripod and not the gadgets pictured as well in the photo) These things rock! You can wrap them around things, tilt them, angle them, they are just the coolest little tripods ever! And as you can tell, you can use it with other gadgets and not just your digital camera.
An Epson StoryTeller Photobook Creator (USD$30)
A Canon Camera Premium Accessory Kit (USD$25) which includes; 1 battery and charger and 1 deluxe soft case. Sorry my Interweb peeps, I have no photo of the kit, just the box it's in and that's a rather boring box at that.
I had a major "oopsie" with the code for the old button, but in the meantime, you can still use this one and create your own link back to this post until I can get the code reworked.
Good luck! I look forward to seeing your photos!
Ok, if (and I do mean IF) I decide to participate, would I be disqualified because I am not able to get my chest hair waxed. Or do we just skip that one if we don't have chest hair? Just wondering. Is it the more pics you take, the more entries you get? Or are we supposed to choose one of the two ideas for each shirt color. I'm sorry if I missed this info in the post.
Fun contest, btw. Can't wait to see everyone's entries!! :)

My poor shoes-I really need new ones.
Posted by: Kristie | Thursday, October 09, 2008 at 12:05 PM
Under my daughter's crib is kinda boring, but it's a great place to store things in a small house with no closets!
Posted by: Kristie | Thursday, October 09, 2008 at 12:15 PM

for some reason it does not work
Posted by: sarah b | Friday, October 10, 2008 at 09:00 AM
i got my banana shot
Posted by: sarah b | Friday, October 10, 2008 at 10:37 AM
ok. im all out of corn... so i guess i will stop with four. but this was a fun game. you should do this more often!
Posted by: sarah b | Friday, October 10, 2008 at 10:46 AM
This contest is cool and I took the pics but don't know how to get them to you since I can't put them here
Posted by: sheri | Friday, October 10, 2008 at 01:16 PM
Very cute! I wish I could enter... but the amount of time it would take to find a dog just to get the first picture cancels out the whole thing lol... not to mention the banana peel.. .yuck! Well... my daughter likes them maybe she would eat it for me! Sounds like fun though...
Posted by: Mama Kalila | Saturday, October 11, 2008 at 12:58 PM
Okay I will DO IT! Gimmie a few m'kay?
Posted by: KD @ A Bit Squirrelly | Saturday, October 11, 2008 at 01:49 PM
Well, see, there is a flaw in the plan. I'd love to enter, especially because I NEED a camera, but I can't because I don't HAVE a camera. Mine died several weeks ago. Quite the conundrum, eh?
This is further proof that I am the female equivalent of Charlie Brown.
Posted by: Alias Mother | Saturday, October 11, 2008 at 02:09 PM
It won't let me enter more then once and I should have four total. Maybe I am just dumb lol!

Here's my kids bed underside.

My dog is "resting." It was the best I could do!

Oh dear heavens, what have I done?

Oh the horrors of the public humiliation.
I am ashamed of myself. However, in the end it will all be worth it if I get my hands on that camera! The end must certainly justify the means, no?
Posted by: mannequin | Saturday, October 11, 2008 at 10:17 PM
I feel faint.
Tis all the humiliation I can take this evening.
Maybe tomorrow I shall feel stronger and able to carry on.
