So, as I was washing the breakfast dishes (and I'm not gonna mention the time...cough, cough, 6 pm, cough) I began thinking about the giveaways being offered by bloggers around the internet. Since I have won a couple and I always want to give back, I decided I should have a giveaway of my own. I had an empty shoebox just sitting on the kitchen table, don't ask me why it was there, and I decided to fill it with a few new, never been opened items that I had on hand. If you're interested, I'm giving you a chance to win my shoebox. These are the items in my shoebox: 1) a bottle of Oil of Olay hydrating lotion. I have loved Oil of Olay for years! 2) A mini vacuum cleaner for your computer keyboard. 3) a Totes Key Finder. I can never find my keys, or sometimes my car but that's another story. 4) A car pillar pocket to hold your cell phone. Did I mention I can never find my cell phone? 5) A Clorox Bleach Pen. I will randomly pick a winner on February 14th.
** All you have to do to win this goody box is leave a comment with an email address. In that comment tell me if you're doing anything special for yourself or someone else on Valentine's Day. I'm making a heart shaped cake for my family and we're all going out to a movie.
** For an extra entry, go hug your kids and tell them you love them. I trust you, just tell me in a comment that you did some hugging.
** And if you want to mention this giveaway in your blog, leave a link back here and you can have another entry.

What a neat idea - all great things that I'd love to win - thanks. I plan to make heart cookies for my family and deliver a few to a few elderly in my neighborhood. Thanks!
I'm going to give hugs - promise!
I think I'll bake cupcakes for the crew here and maybe we'll steal your movie idea! Thanks for entering my giveaway!
Hugging kids AND blogging about your giveaway! :)
I plan on making cupcakes with my oldest (he's 4) and frosting them pink and white on Saturday.
Thanks!
I am going right now to give my girls hugs, kisses and I love yous!
Thanks!!
We are all going out for dinner on Valentine's Day.
Hugs and love to my children.
I just got back from hugging my 5 year old. I try and do that a lot. We don't know how long we'll have her. Two kids in the house to go!
Special Valentine's day plans? I've got a surprise planned for hubby. Don't want to spill the beans but it involves chocolate. And I'm going to blog about your giveaway. I love Oil of Olay too!
I love these contest rules! Friday I am a "Mommy Teacher" at my son's preschool and I am teaching the kids in his class how to make homemade ice cream as a special Valentine's Day treat. Then they will be able to decorate their sundae's with tons of Valentine candy! I bought conversation hearts, red hots shaped like hearts, heart sprinkles and chocolate. Should be yummy!!! Then Sat. we have a little party at our house with family. I make dinner and everyone brings a Valentine Dessert to share (we are going to need to visit the dentist after this holiday is over!!!) Thanks so much for the fun giveaway :O)

I'm spending Valentine's Day weekend moving my best friend into her new house. I'll be 5 hours away from my hubby so we won't be doing anything on V-Day this year. I did make him some chocolate truffles and gave them to him last weekend. But it's worth it to be apart if I can help my friend!

i am just taking mom out for the day she is elderly so i guess she is my valentine for the day
What a sweet thing to do. Thank you =)
I will give hugs when they get home from school, I promise =)
I hug my daughter everyday. She is almost 14 so that should be stopping soon...
Valentine's day is on a Saturday, so we will probably go out to eat. Unless the weather is nice, then we will go to the lake and BBQ.
We're going out to eat as a family.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Well, my husband requested that I make a lemon cake...don't ask me why he requested that - normally he isn't particular, he just said that he's in a "lemon cake mood," so I guess that will be on the menu! :D Other than that, not much else planned!
gjw823@aol.com
The children have been hugged! I'm defintiely a hugging-kind-of-mommy, always hugging my 2 girls! :D

We'll be staying home for some quality quiet 'us' time.
I'll make a nice family dinner, decorate the table and have a special dessert. I've also bought little gifts for my daughters. Then maybe a movie?
I just hugged my husband, I hugged my daughter before she left for work about a half hour ago (I always do) and will hug my other daughter when she comes home. We are a family that hugs a lot!
My husband and I are going to lunch and doing some shopping! Low key, but fun! Thanks!
You are so smart. I love all of these items. All my children are grown so since I won't be seeing them today, I gave them a phone call hug- does that count? I think we are going to a banquet at our church for valentines day and then to a movie afterwards if we are not too tired.
Great shoe box! I will be go to a movie with my husband and making a great gift basket for him. Thanks for the giveaway!

Hi, Our family will be having our monthly game night which just happens to fall on Valentine's Day. We get together the 2nd Saturday of each month. For the adults we will be playing "The Newlywed Game". Our grandson will be coming up with the questions. He is 13 yrs old and I can't wait to hear these questions he will have for us. 2 of our granddaughters will be coming over before hand to decorate in a Valentine theme. We will have a meal together and then board games for everyone, young and old. I'm so looking forward to this evening. There will be lots of hugs!! Please enter me in your giveaway and have a Happy Valentine's Day. Thanks, Vicki (Friend to Val over @ Life

I am having a BBQ with my family. Being together and relaxed is what families need. Romance is wonderful, but this day really shows that romance started our wonderful family.
We're taking our daughters out for Valentine's Day to Build-a-bear and then to some yummy food!

We will be having homemade tacos and a movie with the grandkids. They are super excited.
Hugging the grandbaby. Boy, what a chore. Just kidding! LOL
I am hoping to make a fun homemade waffle breakfast and then some creme brulee later in the afternoon. We don't normally do valentine's day, but I've wanted waffles for awhile and it is a good excuse! LOL! We may be going out Saturday night with some friends, but that is to celebrate my birthday which is today! LOL!
I hugged my dogs! I don't have any kids! LOL!
hubs has to work, but if he CAN be at home, I'd like to treat him to an 'anything you want' night or day...

I just hugged my granddaughter and grandson.
My kids and I already started our Valentine's Day preparations by decorating cupcakes! What fun!
My kids are napping right now but I promise I'm gonna hug them as soon as they get up!
A great idea for a giveaway. Hubby and I are spending a quite Valentine's day together. We will have a special dinner prepared by me and then watch video's in the evening. We will exchange our gifts and cards.
I don't have kids.........so I hugged my hubby.
great idea. I am having six four year olds over to decorate cookies!
We don't have anything special planned, just extra hugs and attention for the kids!
We are all going to spend time together -- we all came down with the flu at the same time-- all 7 of us.
