Amazon Giveaways

-- BTW: Dave decided we needed to watch Bird Box.  I thought it was stupid and FULL of plot holes.  But on to something more fun:

Amazon Giveaways

I bet you didn't know they even HAD them, right???

Amazon has giveaways. Sellers on Amazon voluntarily put up a number of their product, select the method of choosing the winner and voila! you can win stuff.
Here's how:

Go to Amazon.com and in the top field, type in Giveaways like so:





Then hit enter.  You must first be signed in to Amazon for this to work the best. I have Amazon Prime and it's always on because we stream stuff from the Prime video.

When you hit enter, you will be sent to the first of what usually is 100 pages + of giveaways. It looks like this:



So you see the first 4 offers right here: An eye massager, a hand massager, orthotic soles for your shoes and a knife set.  If you could scroll down on that screen, you'd see there is 20 offers per page.

Now what I do, is select the offer I want to enter the 'raffle' for to bring up the popup that allows me to open that offer into a new tab.  Here you'll see it being done on a makeup bag: 



That offer comes up in a new tab, and I go on selecting others, right-clicking them onto a new tab until I have a few up there. Then I click on the new tab to start the raffle:

in your page, whatever you select..........that box will be bouncing annoyingly.  But click on the area of the box to see if you win it.



And there it is, I'm not a winner.  For the majority of the offers, you will NOT win.  Get over it.  I've been playing these giveaways for over a year now, and I win about once a month and that's GOOD.  Hubby has not won in about 6 months.  So if there's 2,500 offers and you won't win one of them a day, that's a lot of losing.

If you're in it to win, you'll be mad within a week.  But as you see on that last no-win page, you can get some awesome discounts on stuff that is worth it.  Also, you'll see some things on the giveaways that you've never seen before.  It's cool and I think it's a better time-waster than playing Candy Crush.

And I've tried Candy Crush; To bling-y for me.  Too many bright pretty lights and colors.  Too ADD for me.

1000th Feedback!!!

KIP Bags by Ruddawg has gotten their 1000th feedback! In honor of this momentous occasion, I am giving away a One of a Kind KIP Bag filled with goodies. The stuff? A sampling based on the idea "A Few of my Favorite Things." What are a few of my favorite things? Well, KIP bags, of course. This one is red velvet, 10" high by 7 1/2" wide. A red velvet wrist strap allows for knitting and walking at the same time. It has a decorator fabric bottom and fancy stitching at the top to give it a more festive look. What is in the bag? The top fuzzy item is a pair of socks. Not just socks, but a pair of those fuzzy and oh so soft socks. I am a fiend for socks! I ask for a new set of socks every year for my birthday. Next is a skein of Alpaca yarn - Caramel in color. I love, love LOVE alpaca! This skein is from Blue Sky Alpacas, 120 yards of Sport Weight Yarn. The red item is my most useful tool for knitting, sewing and everything else. It's a small swiss army knife that ...

Update on Knit-Alongs

Mystery Stole3: Ok, I am confessing that I honestly and truthfully did try to like the stole as the pattern was made, but it didn't click with me. Even after trying to re-dye the whole thing, I considered the wing with the stole portion to be discordant. So last night I frogged it all. OH the horror!! I'm re-working the stole portion as it's own pattern, probably for my Mom for Christmas. I've started it again, and put in the beads this time. Secret of the Stole: I started this one with my own handspun cream Targhee wool. It's weight is fingering weight and it's being knitted on size 3 addi circs. The beads are green. I didn't realize until I had gotten home with them that the chart has green squares as the indicator to put in a bead. Wow....can we say, subliminal? There was a comment on the email group that the two points were a great bikini top. My DH said the same thing this last weekend when I joined them all together. I was in the car at the time, drivi...

Secret of the Stole: Clue 3 Finished!

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/secretofthestole/ Clue 3 is finished! I am knitting it in handspun 2-ply yarn on size 3 addi circular needles with beads. The beads used to be only green, now I've added lavender and gold ones also. To me, this looks like a spider and web-themed stole. Notice the 3 spiders on it? I call them spiders because they have 8 legs each.
