A Valentine’s Day Giveaway

Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival Button

**UPDATED**

This Giveaway is now closed…thanks for playing and stay tuned for a winner!

In celebration of my first real Snow Day (almost 10 inches! woot!), and just in time for Valentine’s day, I have a giveaway!!!

Hallmark has some all new recordable cards just in time for Valentine’s Day and guess what? I get to give a couple away!! These cards are so much fun–you have 10 seconds to record your own message, and then music plays.

I will send a couple of these cards your way, along with a book of stamps.

So how do you get your hands on these little numbers?? Just leave me a comment telling me…do you prefer flowers, chocolate or love notes for Valentine’s Day?? Come on, you can tell me! Also, please make sure you leave me a way to get in touch with you! (I will ship to US and Canada)

A Movie Worth Seeing: Slumdog Millionaire

Since MAM came on the scene in late 2005, I haven’t been to the movies very much. We watch a lot of movies at home, but we don’t go for the big theatre experience very often. Recently, however, a girlfriend suggested we go see Slumdog Millionaire, and WOW.

Slumdog Millionaire takes place and was filmed in Mumbai, India. Sweeping landscape, stunning color, amazing acting, and intense, intense drama. I have to say that I loved every minute of it, even the painful parts. I loved how the plot was based around “Who wants to be a Millionaire”, and I loved the Indian Regis-like host. The soundtrack is perfect, the three actors who played each of the main characters were incredible–I could go on and on…..

I don’t want to say too much to give it away, but I will say this : GO SEE IT.
