I received this announcement about a towel contest from Micro Cotton. Thought I would pass it along.

Is your linen closet a disaster area? Are your towels threadbare and from the 20th century? MicroCotton is here to make your nightmare closet a dream come true! Fifty (50) lucky people will win a luxurious linen closet makeover worth $250 each, courtesy of MicroCotton. All you have to do is log on to www.microcotton.com and tell them in 100 words or less why you deserve to win. MicroCotton will take care of the rest. Just imagine yourself with a closet filled with brand new, soft, fluffy white towels. So throw out those ratty, faded towels from 1960 and click to snag some FREE eco-friendly towels from MicroCotton!

Contest ends June 15th, 2008.

Congrats to Andrea who blogs at Scissors cut Paper. She won the Pirates of the Caribbean portable CD player through the Ultimate Blog Party. I got in the mail today, so it’s on its way.

If you would like to see the complete list of winners from the Ultimate Blog Party, it’s posted at 5 Minutes for Mom.

I’m a huge fan of Swiffer. It just makes my daily cleaning(when it happens!) so much easier. When I learned about the Swiffer Break-up Music Video Contest, I was very excited. I love Swiffer and love to edit video. And I was even holding off talking about the contest until my video was finished.

Well, I still haven’t completed my entry. Snow and cold weather has pushed me behind. The deadline for submissions is January 31st, so I better hurry and share the contest with you.

First visit the Swiffer Break-up Music Video Contest You Tube page to download your editor tool kit. Use one of the “break up” songs t create your video. Make a short one minute video showing how you’ve “broken up” with your other cleaning products. The best entries Swiffer will put up on You Tube so people can vote for their favorite one. Top prize is $15,000.

Tomorrow I plan to shoot it and then edit it Wednesday, coming in right under the deadline. Eh, I work better under pressure anyway.

Congratulations to Keri of Karebearcentral.com for winning the Worse Case Scenario card game. She was chosen at random from all comments received this previous week for the prize.

Your card game will be put in the mail this week. Stay tuned for more contests.

It’s contest time again at the Geeky Housewife! Here’s another easy contest. The prize is the Worst-Case Scenario Card Game: Cooking.

Do you know how to open a bottle of wine without a corkscrew or how to fix an over-salted soup? Be the first player to answer five questions to win the game.

To enter for a chance to win, just leave a comment(on any post, no spam please) between now and next Monday, January 14. Tuesday morning I will randomly draw for a winner, so don’t forget to leave to fill in your email so that I can contact you should you win.

Good luck!

We have to winners. Congratulations to A. Braun and an Iowa Mom who both won a pack of playing cards in the Geeky Housewife comment contest. Winners were randomly drawn from all participants.

More contests are coming up as I have some fun prizes in mind. Another comment contest will be taking place next week once I find the prize. (It’s still packed from our move in September)

I’m excited to host my first of hopefully many contests! This will be an easy one. To enter, just leave a comment on any post between Monday, October 8th and Sunday October 14th. Each comment will represent one entry into the contest.

On Monday October 15th I’ll draw two winners who will each receive a pack of these retro playing cards from Anne Taintor. I love these cards that feature vintage pictures but with witty sayings. The contest is open to anyone, anywhere. I will contact the winners to get their shipping information which I promise only to use for the purpose of sending their prize.

So, just leave a real comment - spam will be deleted - by next Sunday for a chance to win a pack of playing cards. Two winners will be randomly drawn from all entries. Contest is open to everyone.

Remember I won an XShot from BenSpark.com this summer? Well, Drew is having another XShot contest. This contest is for folks who have an XShot to take the most creative photo for a chance to win a cash prize.

All you have to do is submit your photo taken with your XShot to BenSpark.com. Submit as many as you want. At the end of the month, Drew and and the folks at XShot will judge them. The top three get a cash prize.

I’ve been taking some photos with the XShot but will have to step up my technique in hopes of really competing. Here is one I took last week for my new photo blog MomSnaps.com. Yes, there’s a little bit of a double meaning behind the name.

Don’t have an XShot? Then check out BenSpark for a way to get a good deal on one.
