As a special Happy Halloween to all my readers, here are some special Halloween treats I’ve come across that are not (directly) related to yarn.

• Taco Bell is offering a free Black Jack taco to anyone who stops by between 6pm and Midnight
• Victorias Secret has a coupon out that gives you a FREE lip gloss when you go in for a FREE bra fitting before Nov 15th. Hmmm.. seems almost too good.
• McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and Friendly’s are all offering a Halloween coupon book for only 1$ (with multiple freebies in each book)
• If your Sears has the new Sears Toy Shop, bring in a dressed up child and they can get a free Mattel toy. Oh, and there’s a coupon for $5-$20 off (in case the munchkin sees anything they like while there) It’s always good to get a jumpstart on the holiday shopping.
• Send in candy wrappers with a coupon from the YoCrunch site and get a coupon for a free yogurt.
• Here’s a scary one, you can sell Halloween candy to participating dentists, getting $1 per pound and the resulting candy overflow goes to the troops overseas. I really don’t recommend this unless the kid who’s candy is in question volunteers.

Okay, that’s it, have a great Halloween, and may you keep your sugar high all day long.

Welcome to the Weekend Deals, Steals and Giveaways

Today I had a really fun time going through and finding contests and sales. Probably because I just found out I won a $500 Visa Giftcard!!

I am so excited, even though I have to wait to get it, because the local Pennysaver (who held the contest) would like to get a photo op of me and the other winner. So…. I’m trying to design and make a lacy shrug to wear to said photo op, tentatively scheduled for this Thursday.

Unreasonable? Moi? That’s what everyone said when they found out that I design and post a new pattern every week. You know what? They are absolutely right….. However unreasonable is not the same as impossible ;).

Contests:
Feeling Sheepish is giving away 2 oz of milk fiber.

Phat Fiber is hosting a couple of giveaways:
1.)plant dyed alpaca fingering weight

2.) 4oz of yearling mohair

AlpacaDirect.comis having a giveaway for anyone who participates in their KnitIdeas.com community. Details Here.

The DesignsbyRomi.com weekly giveaway: Leave a comment on my blogand make me laugh, and I’ll enter you to win a Bluebird shawl pattern! Ok, even if I don’t laugh, I’ll enter you. 🙂 It could be a joke, a riddle, a pun, a limerick, an observation or…surprise me!

Don’t miss stop 5 on the KnittingQ Summer Blogcation(tm), Just answer the trivia questions for an entry for a really cool set of prizes.

Well, this isn’t a contest, but it is a chance to vote for Lazy Knits and Purls new catchphrase. Go ahead and vote, then come back and tell me. (You don’t have to choose mine- my ‘name’ was up there, I’m happy :D)

Deals:

CoolClimates.etsy.com is having a Christmas in July sale; free shipping on everything until July 22 and 10-30% off select items.

LaughingRat.etsy.com is having a sale so unique I have to let her describe it:

Aloha! My Etsy hearts just hit 1066, so I’m having a Norman Invasion Sale (yes, really) this weekend through the 19th: 20% off all in-stock items. Pop on over to the shop, purchase your items as usual, but when you check out, put “1066” or a passage from Chaucer or “William the Conqueror is my homeboy” or, you know, something relevant like that in your Message to Seller, and I’ll send you a revised invoice through PayPal reflecting the discount.

Hmm… her products are giving me the urge to go look up a passage from Chaucer.
