Revised Contest Post

Well, it seems like I have stumped the readers of MA Fat Woman. Only one brave reader tried to venture a guess of what gift cards I received for Christmas. I gave you a very good clue that one of the cards was from a new place that opened up in my town last August. To give you another clue, almost every county seat in America probably has one. Easy, if you ask me. To also encourage audience participation, I am going to remove the Longhorn and Home Depot answers so you will only have to guess 5 out of 8 which should help. 1. Amazon 2. EBay 3. Walmart 4. Kohl's 5. iTunes 6. Starbucks 7. Sears 8. Visa Leave your guesses in the comment section and the winner will receive the handmade burlap bag that we made last fall. The contest is open to international readers and family as well so give it your best shot. The winner will be announced in a few weeks! Happy Guessing!

Let's Have A Contest

In honor of the blog's 500th post which is rapidly approaching, I've decided it's time to have another CONTEST! I thought about it for a few days and came up with something that I hope is a bit challenging and fun: It's a game about gift cards. I also had to come up with the perfect prize and I could think of nothing better than one of the recycled burlap totes that Mom and I made last Fall. Okay, here are the details: For Christmas this past year, I received five (5) gift cards for various places and things. The cards can be used in person and online. You could walk into any store that has a gift card section and buy these same five gift cards. It's not something obscure like Modene's Beauty and Bait Shop. You're challenge, if you choose to accept it is to guess where the gift cards are from. I am going to list ten (10) places that utilize gift cards and you have to choose the correct five (5). Simple enough! 1. Amazon 2. EBay 3. Walmart 4. Longhorn 5. iTunes 6. Home Depot 7. Sears 8. Visa 9. Starbucks 10. Kohl's Pick the five that you think I received this year and leave it in the comments section. The winner will get the burlap tote pictured above. If there are multiple correct guesses then we'll draw the winner out of a hat. The winner will be announced on the 500th post which is about two weeks away. Guess as many times as you want. I'm going to give you a hint to get you started. One card I received is from a new store that opened in my town that I wrote about back in the summer. Be sure and check in regularly because you never know when I'll be dropping a hint. Have fun and good luck!
