Now, I want to share one more giveaway at Leslie Loves Veggies. Hold onto your hat because she's giving away an Oreck Halo UV-C Vacuum Cleaner! Oh yeah, that's a $599.95 value. My vacuum cleaner is literally 16 years old. It has seen me through a ton of dirt and dust removal, but I'm sad to say it has lost it's good suction. I now have to vacuum over most areas at least six or seven times. I need to toss it out, but I hate the added expense of buying a new one. Anyway, enough vacuum woes because I'm going to enter this giveaway and cross my fingers! Thanks for the chance Leslie. Go enter!
