Alrighty, I'm a little late getting out of the gate here, but I AM here. The family thang is totally throwing off my groove, but I am having a totally great time eating and shopping. So, on to the giveaway...
I debated about what to give away for a good long time. Let me tell you, those two hours were torture.
At first I was going to offer up my firstborn.
Yes, my 16 yo son was going to be my bloggy giveaway. He has many qualities that would benefit someone greatly. He is:
1. Tall (6'2") - This is great for those hard to reach items on top of the refrigerator.
2. Strong (like bull) - This is very beneficial for those pesky pickle jars.
3. He does what he is told when he is bribed, yelled at, asked most of the time. He is a mighty fine yard edger if I do say so myself.
4. He's a football player - not sure what an outside linebacker is good for around the house, but they are great fun to go and watch.
5. He is mighty purdy (pretty for those non-southern speaking folk) - not sure what that is good for either other than the fact I like lookin' at him.
But then I found out that 1.it is not legal to give away your firstborn spawn child and 2. it would not benefit you or I because I would have to fly him to you as opposed to mailing him and that would be like expensive and once you received him then you would have to feed him and that would, well, like be expensive.
So.
Here is the official Bloggy Giveaway item up for grabs.
One brand new, in the box, Pampered Chef Tool Turnabout. Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I used to sell Pampered Chef. I love the stuff like I love my luggage, but I have an excessive amount of extras and since my highly organized, slave driving efficient sister is in town, she is encouraging a purging of non-necessary items.
And since this is the Bloggy Giveaway week I thought it would be nice to bless someone else with this organizational tool. Far be it from me to use the thing for organization. Plus, I already own one.
It can not only be used for storing kitchen utensils, but it is great for scrap booking pens and scissors, sewing paraphernalia and a vast assortment of other nifty items as well.
(notice my delicious pound cake in the background)
All you need to do is leave a comment in my comment section and I will officially enter you in the drawing which will be held on Saturday, November 3, 2007. I will use my state of the art number generator to choose the winner. This means I will tear up multiple pieces of paper, write your numbers on them and let the 7yo draw out of a bowl. How's that for technology?
Unfortunately, while I love my peeps in Canada and across all oceans, this giveaway will only be open to U.S. residents because I like have 5 children and can only afford my own country. And the Monk would not be happy if I spent a gazillion dollars on shipping free stuff to people I don't know.

I would LOVE this!
Thanks!
please count me in.
This could come in very handy around my space-challenged house. Great idea!
Count me in!
I've been looking at that...I never though about using it for school/art supplies! What a great idea!
Sign me up please!!
Ooh I want one! Am I first? I'm never first.
This would be awesome. Please count me in.
I love your post! That is really funny. I thought about offering my oldest, too! Your son is a purdy boy. Count me in...I really could use this for my stamping supplies...I need that organizing stuff! Thanks for this prize! (I love Pampered Chef, too)
Hmmm, I do like the idea of the 16 y/o giveaway, but alas, I have my own 16 y/o son, their rooms smell. So unless yours comes powdered in baking soda, I'll just get the organizer! Love the post, vey funny.
You are flipping hilarious. You son is very handsome and I am sure very useful, but I have an equally handsome and infinitely more useful husband that I already take care of, so please count me in and thanks for the great giveaway.
Count me in! :) Great giveaway. I love pampered chef! Thanks
LOL on the post....and enter me in the contest please....i could always be more organized...*GRIN* Thanks!
Please count me in - I am organizationally challenged!
Darn. I'd take the 16yo. (as long as he babysits!! lol) Please include me. I've never tried Pampered Chef things, but heard they're great. Thank you! :)
Oooo, is the pound cake included too?! I love pampered chef though.
Awesome giveaway! I would love to win! Thanks so much!
You know, I have one of those that I use in my kitchen. I never thought of taking it to use for scrapbooking. I now think I must have this one.
Hello, Please add me to your drawing. My husband loves to cook, so we have so many gadgets and gizmos. The holder would come in very handy! Thanks, Cindi
That looks awesome. I'm in.
hillarycampos@gmail.com
The intro with the 16yo was priceless! Way to go! ;o)
I love Pampered Chef! Please include me!!
please sign me up for this wonderful giveaway--thanks
I would love this! With three little ones, this would be perfect for the growing amounts of pens, pencils, markers, etc.....
i could REALLY use this...

Sign me up!
Wow, it looks great!! I could really use that. Please count me in!
Wow, great giveaway! Enter me, too!

This is cool! I'd love it!
Well darn, I could use a son, as I have 3 daughters, but the pampered chef item is sooo cool too! Thanks for the chance to win!
boo_meyers@yahoo.com
I have a really nice younger cousin who might be interested in the boy, but I am glad you decided to go with the organizer.
Too funny about the boy!
I love pampered chef and I don't have this particular beauty. Please count me in!
Sounds great--I hope I win!
The organizer looks fun! The pound cake looks dee-lish.
I would LOVE this! Please count me in!
Thanks
~Amy
Count me in!!!
I'm in! Good idea!
I'm canadian so you can't afford for me to win but I wanted to tell you that I thought your post was funny :) That's all. And now feel free to delete my comment so I don't end up in your random draw causing your 7yo to have to pick ANOTHER number :)
wow now that is something that I could use. I am the worst organized person in the world and it sure would clean off my desk. Oh you don't want to see this mess.
You're too funny. I added you to my google reader...by far the best post I've seen in the hours I've spent looking at Bloggy Giveaways!
I could really use this...my current system is a mesy drawer!
Sign me up! Contact me link on my apples of gold blog.
I've got a friend who swears by her PC organizer rack. I'd love to try to win! Thank you!
You are SO funny! I laughed my tail off.
I would love a turnabout. I bought one a few years ago specifically for my craft room. My daughter wouldn't hear of it and made me put it in the kitches where it has stayed. PLEASE can I have one for my craft room now?? :-)
Oh enter me please! Great prize!
Please enter me for the organizer - not the 16 yr old.
I would love to have this.
i could use some organization, i believe.
Too funny! As a vertically challenged mom of vertically challenged girls, a 6'2", strong boy who does yard work would have come in quite handy! But that tool thingy will be quite useful too! :)
I've been wanting one of those! They have so many great uses!!
I could use a helpful 16 yr old, but since I'm expecting my fifth child, I don't think I could afford to feed him. :( I guess I'll have to do my own edging. ;)
lmoffitt at aestudios dot com
It is too bad that you can't give the 16 year old away. I have a lot of chores that he could do. I would love to win the tool organized too though.
Count me in!!!! Thanks for the giveaway, Love this!!!!

I have wanted one of these for a long time. It is one of the few Pampered Chef items I don't own. I would love to be entered in your drawing!
P.S. It is just as well that you didn't offer up your first born, as I have a model similar to the one you have, so then I wouldn't have wanted to enter your drawing. (grin!)

Looks good!
Okay, if I can't win your firstborn, then I'd settle for the tool turn around. I need one for my scrapping area!!!
I love this product. We have two and use both and I would love another for my craft room!
My email is on my blog @ http://mebeingcrafty.com
Glad you changed your mind about what you're giving away. I already have my own 17 yo. Love the organizer. There's a perfect spot in my kitchen waiting for it!
Count me in!
very cute write up! Please enter me!
I'm sure your first born is glad he won't be shipped off to some stranger's house. Although my 13 year old first born son would probably love to have a big brother. so if you change your mind....
If not, I'd love to win your pampered chef stuff.
Oh, how I could use some organization!Thanks for the chance to win!
sblilly14(@)yahoo(.)com
Count me in.
You are hysterical! LOL I wouldn't enter for the purdy boy because I have a super purdy 16yo girl, and if he even looked at her, well, lets just say it wouldn't be so expensive to feed him after her dad and 4 brothers got done with him.
But the Pampered Chef tool go round? I'm all for that one! I have one in my kitchen I can't live without, and another would be fantastic for my stampig and scrapping supplies!
I am all about a free Pampered Chef Tool Turnabout! I have one in my kitchen and have been wanting one for my craft supplies. This is a very generous gift! Thanks for the chance to win it.
It was nice of you to consider giving up that purdy son of yours, but I'm not ready for a 16 y.o. yet anyhow. I'm 28 which would be like having had a kid at age 12, plus I have a just-turned-5 y.o., a 3 y.o., and a 20 mo old. I'll have my share of 16 y.o.s! :-)

Crossing my fingers hoping the 7yr old will pick my number. Thanks for entering me and God Bless.
This would probably be great for the kids arts/crafts supplies. Enter me!
Wow! I'm getting excited just thinking of all the things I could organize with this - scrappy stuff, kids art supplies, scrappy stuff...can you tell which direction I'm leaning? Oh & is the pound cake part of the prize? ;) Thanks!
Can I have some poundcake too? :) Nice giveaway, thanks!

But I would love the organizer. Please enter me for that. Thanks
What a wonderful giveaway! jdeguzman0930@gmail.com
Count me in...for the giveaway...not the son. Although my oldest daughter is begging for an older brother! When I asked her why, she said she wanted someone to cheer for at the football game. Well, sounds like we're a match! But let's just keep that between you and me, since I'm not really looking for a fifth child at this point! *grin*

Awesome giveaway! I love anything Pampered Chef!
He is a purdy boy! But being that I've already got one and can hardly feed him, I'd better enter the PC organizer bit.
Oooh! That looks wonderful! Count me in!
While it may not be legal to give your first born away, what about a little bartering?
I'll trade you my FOUR teens for your one. I've three boys and a girl!
They do what they're told to do most times too. And what's better, I've got two that will become mute if you cut their hair! Pretty nifty huh?
If not, the cool Pampered Chef would do. :)
LOL about your son! I love Pampered Chef and would love to enter! Thanks!

Been coveting this Pampered Chef item for a while now. Sign me up, please!
I appreciate the effort you took to decide what to give. Number one was tempting...hmm, maybe we could work out a trade for my 15 month old?? heheh
okay, first I just have to say, and I am not kissin' up just to get free pampered chef, You do not look like that boys mama, you look old enough to be his girlfriend or for sake of not making him run and hide, good friend. I am serious, I thought it was a friend of his until I read under the picture. You go girl. Okay so, now the giveaway, I LOVE Pampered Chef. And this organizer caddy is awesome. Thanks for the chance.
Cleaning up my clutter sound just the thing for the kids and er....me

Wow. This would a neat item to help organize the kitchen or schoolroom for the 10 of us. God Bless.
I love that gizmo! I just had a PC party so I'll need a place to hold my new toys. And since I can't have your house elf, er, son, then I guess the PC kitchen toy gizmo will have to do! :)
