Awesome New Giveaway: $100 Diaper Cake Giveaway!

Ivy says:

The non-parents in the crowd are probably wondering what in the world a diaper cake is. I know the first time I heard the term, I was mighty perplexed. A diaper cake is an awesome baby shower gift made from (usually) disposable diapers and made to look like a cake. Still wondering what it might look like? Check it out:

Absolutely adorable, am I right?

That picture is a diaper cake by the amazing Diaper Cakes By Becca, the sponsor of this fabulous giveaway. And fabulous it is- the winner of this giveaway gets a gift certificate worth $100 that can be used for any pre-made or custom design. Also, if you live in the lower 48 states, UPS ground shipping is included!

Here are a couple of other examples of diaper cakes that would be in the $100 range (the one already pictured is also in the same price range):

Update On Build A Bear Giveaway

Ivy says:

Whoo, the gas shortage in Nashville has apparently shorted my brain out. That’s all I can figure, because I totally forgot to tell you guys when the Build A Bear giveaway ends. Oy. It’ll end at midnight on Thursday, September 25th. I updated the post to reflect that, and also I added a picture of my daughter with the Hannah Montana Build A Bear!

As usual, I will be choosing the winner via the Randomizer. If you haven’t already gotten your comment, blog entry, or tweet entry in, don’t forget to do so on the original post! Also, keep in mind that you get one entry with a comment and another with a blog post or tweet about it, but you need to leave the link to the blog post or tweet- we don’t have auto linking.

There’s been a great response so far, keep it coming!

New Giveaway- $25 Gift Card To Build A Bear Workshop!

Ivy says:

Last week Build A Bear Workshop sent my daughter one of the new Hannah Montana bears. I’d show you a picture of the joyousness that accompanied her getting the bear, but my camera cord has gone the way of Nate’s missing shoe. So for now, you’ll have to imagine it until I can get to my mom’s and borrow her camera cord.

Anyway, in addition to sending the Hannah Montana bear, they sent me a $25 gift card to Build A Bear Workshop to give away to one lucky Home Ec 101 reader! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post to win! You can get an additional entry by blogging about this giveaway on your site and leaving us a link here in comments. You can get one MORE additional entry by Twittering about this giveaway and leaving us a link here in comments to where you tweeted about the giveaway! 3 ways to enter!

So come on and get to commenting, blogging, and tweeting so you can win!

Edited to add:

I suppose it would help if I told you guys when the contest ends, wouldn’t it? I will be closing comments at midnight, Central time on Thursday, September 25th. Hurry up and get your entries in!

Also, here’s the pic of my daughter and the Hannah Montana Build A Bear! (Sorry it’s not the best shot of the bear- she couldn’t quit snuggling with it!)
