Bare with me…my Internet has decided to be about as fast as dial up today!  *sigh* So I’m going to publish and then update this post for a while….but if you are looking for some great contests to enter, check out the following:

Win a $25 gift certificate to Sassy Cakes, one of the neatest children’s boutiques I’ve ever seen at An Island Life. Contest ends December 7th. Found something you just have to have? I noticed that Sassy Cakes has a Black Friday sale going on now!

Win a copy of Christmas Sucks by JoAnn Kimes from The Dirty Shirt. Now when I first saw the headline of thi contest, I went, “WHAT!?!”  I’m not entering that one, but after reading the post, I realized that it might not be a bad read.  According to the site, “Christmas Sucks is a humorous look at America’s commercialization of the Christmas holiday season and the terrible travel, inordinate amount of preparation, and family strife that accompany it. You can commiserate with the fact that everyone drives themselves into debt buying gifts, no oneenjoys seeing long lost relatives, and everybody is creeped out by the department store Santa.”

Win one of the most awesome key fob’s I’ve ever seen from An Island Review and Sweet Irie. These are so cute. You won’t believe how bad you want one (and great priced….I’m thinking….stocking stuffer….or maybe teacher gifts?).

Win a copy of the Build A Bear Game for the Wii from Kim @ What’s That Smell and The Game Factory. Contest ends December 7th.

Win a CartStopper from Nothing But Purple. These are really nifty (in fact I’ll be reviewing and hosting a giveaway for one soon).  I used mien during our Black Friday shopping and was suitably impressed. This contest ends today though so hurry over and get yourself entered.

Win two great prizes from the Not So Blog Blog at once.  How neat is that. Prizes are from Dainty Divas Boutique AND Ana Paula Oli. And they look really nice things to own (or give as Christmas gifts in the spirit of the holidays) 

….will try to do at least one more contest post today….stay tuned

At least one of my readers remembers when I posted a daily contest each day and misses it (thanks Hedy @ Penny for My Thoughts for making me know that someone was reading it).  I do want to get back in the habit of posting more contests more often though I’m not quite ready to commit to a daily post.  Tonight though I’m listing a series of blogging contests just for you.  I know you might not have much use personally for a lot of these prizes, but you could give them as gifts.  :)
