Want to Know Who Won the Amazon.com GC?

I have finally been able to get around to tallying up all the entries. We had 280 comments, which resulted in 422 entries!!!! WOW!!! I guess a lot of people like Amazon.com!!! I had a lot of fun reading the comments.

People wanted things like shoes, socks, and underwear; gum, school books, regular reading books, a new blender, a digital camera memory card, video games, craft books, cookbooks, groceries, makeup, games, clothing, video camera, jewelry, DVDs, CDs, Christmas gifts, birthday gifts, baby books, scrapbooking books, toys, self-help books, a new bed, a shower curtain, a Betty Boop clock, an ice cream maker, a camera, a Red Sox jersey, a gps, high thread count sheets, a scientific calculator, a new laptop (to replace a dearly departed laptop), a vacuum cleaner (we actually bought one from Amazon!!!), an eco frying pan, school supplies, a new tv, coffee pods for a new mom, a wireless guitar for Wii, comic book characters, a new wind chime, books for a Kindle, gardening equipment, books on dating, bird food, an iPod, a cell phone charger, Rosetta Stone (not the real one, of course!), a remote-controlled shark, pajamas, a coffee maker, ballet slippers, a doll, DIY books, a "green" water heater, a subscription to Xbox live, a George Foreman grill, toilet paper (they must not have a Costco nearby!!!), a new purse, Massage Therapy Exam Prep Flashcards, manga, a panini press, cat toys, fashion books, cookware, sunglasses, Playstation 3, Xbox 3, cake books, audio books, baby things, Batman legos, scented soaps, baking sheets, a battery pack, bike parts, a crank flashlight and emergency radio, and more.

I guess that just goes to show how MUCH there is to buy on Amazon! We have purchased a tent, camping cots, toys, books, movies, cell phone headsets, battery chargers, CDs, video games, a life vest for our little guy, cookware, a KitchenAid mixer, deep fryers, thermoses, blankets, Bibles, pedometers, and so much more from Amazon. We even have a subscription to get Prilosec and razors from Amazon! Crazy, huh?

Well, anyway, we have our winner: Sharon from Massachusetts. Congratulations Sharon! I hope you have fun shopping!

Be sure to keep visiting The Downtown Boutique. We have a giveaway every week! Plus we showcase some great products from small business artists and crafters all over the world.

Have a great day!

Friday Feature No. 12

Happy Friday! It's been a very happy Friday for us! We had a meeting with our caseworker, and two other caseworker in regards to a little boy who is getting placed with us for concurrent foster care. Provided that all goes well, we will be able to adopt him. He is a DOLL! We haven't met him yet, but we were given some photographs. It's funny, because he looks a LOT like my husband's side of the family! Pretty amazing, huh?!

I wanted to say congratulations to bunny b, who won the Polychrome Cuff Bracelet from Tilley Jewels. Thanks Meredith, for the giveaway, and for the great interview! Thank you to those of you who entered to win!

Well, I had someone lined up to feature today, but I didn't hear back from them with the answers to the interview questions, so I will be featuring a couple of EtsyMinis for shops that I really like. So enjoy!
