I go crazy sometimes. Ok, alot of times.

I’ve done this every day giveaways once before, but this time I wasn’t prepared. I didn’t think ahead.

I’ve been winging it.

Actually, no I haven’t. I knew after a few minutes of thought what I would give away every day except today.

Monday was easy… who doesn’t love a gift certificate, especially when it’s to anywhere you want?

Tuesday was pretty simple too. I tripped over that blasted Digimakeover, the one that was used once before being put back in the box two Christmases ago, for the gazillionth time. It was safe to say that it could go. I know many girls who love the digi makeover. My daughter is not one of them. Go figure.

Wednesday was pretty easy, too. I have a thing for the New Kids on the Block, therefore, what kind of blogger would I be without giving away something that related to them? Finding something was the problem.

Friday is my big giveaway. The odds are always better because the link back on Mr. Linky is so far down and although people SAY they are going to come back every day? They don’t. And I’m okay with that. But it’s true. Look at the gift card nearing 400 comments because it was 16th on the Linky. The rest of the giveaways? I don’t think we’ve hit 50.

But tomorrow’s giveaway is a biggie. A prize package for a lucky blogger that would cost you in the hundreds of dollars. I say $400, but really? That’s just the marketer in me. It probably wouldn’t really cost you that much. But it would cost you in the triple digits. So, I encourage you to check back tomorrow for that.

But see the day that’s missing?

Thursday. Today. Right now.

Typically, I do look around my house for gently used items that would be worthy of a giveaway. I try to find things that wouldn’t require selling my second born to ship them, but also things that other bloggers would want.

And just like I say, “I have nothing to wear” as I look in my closet and drawers to find something to wear on a first date, I am now looking at my bursting at the seams house saying “there is nothing to give away.”

I could’ve been more prepared.

But that would’ve required me to not enter the contests myself and plan this out. (And, yes, for the first time in the last 3 carnivals, I FINALLY started entering some. I got tired of being the hostess with the mostess. I wanted to win things too.)

And then I remembered something…

A few months ago, I started purchasing things that would be great for last minute gifts or for blog giveaways and put them in the closet. So when I went in there to see what I had, much to my delight, I realized that I had something to give away for today after all!

The tear drop shape fits your back and spreads the weight. Real patchwork leather, with two outer pockets, three inside pockets, plus a quick release for keys. Rubber shoulder pad helps prevent slipping. Black. 16″ long x 10″ wide.

I actually gave one to my daughter and she loves it! Hopefully, it can work for some of you as well… either a purse, a diaper bag, or just something to grab when you’re running out the door with all of your necessities.

I have two of these to give away today, so here’s what you need to do…

• Leave a comment letting me know the weirdest item in your purse right now. (For me, it would be a wireless computer mouse left over from my last trip). You must answer this question to be included in the drawing.
• Comments will close on Saturday, April 26th at Midnight EST.
• This giveaway is open to US residents only
• You don’t need to have a blog, but I have to have a way to email you, so make sure I have that.
• I will notify the winner and you will have three days to respond with your name and address so that I can ship the item to you.

And make sure you enter for the other giveaways that I have going on, and come back tomorrow for the Grand Poobah!

Until next time…
