Random News & Info Strikes Again

Rather than swamp your feed readers or fill up your inbox, I'm condesning a bunch of great things into one post that arrived in my inbox from different companies over the last few days!

Casto Creations is hosting a giveaway with some beautiful jewelry and a little pouch to hold it all in! It runs through April 8th, so hurry and visit her blog to enter!

For those of you that have already bought an iPad and happen to have a Dora the Explorer fan (Owa!) fan at home, you totally have to check this neat "coloring book" available "Dora the Explorer Coloring Adventures" - kids can go on creative adventures with a combination sticker and coloring book app designed specifically for the iPad. It retails for $4.99, and they can even add little stickers through the app! If you have older kids, or you like puzzles, there is also an app based on Shockwave.com’s jugsaw game, Daily Jigsaw To Go - for $0.99 through 3/12, you will be able to download a new puzzle every day, complete with fun facts.

....An iPad could be considered a blogging expense, right? ;)

Kids Who Give has just kicked off with a national contest to find outstanding kids in the U.S., ages 7 to 17, who donate their time to charities or individuals in need. Five winners will each receive a $300 gift card, $1,000 to contribute to the charities of their choice and a special Farm Rich care package. Just visit www.kidswhogive.com to learn more - submissions will be accepted until June 15, 2010, so you have plenty of time to enter!

You might remember that I hosted a giveaway to let you know about entering the Progresso "Souper Your Debut" contest. Well, the 10 finalists have been chosen, and now we get to vote which three lucky winners will be headed to New York City for an all-expense paid makeover trip! You can vote daily through April 12th, 2010, so take a moment to stop by and vote today!
