The Swagbucks Carnival has started,

and it gives you an opportunity to earn bonus Swag Bucks each day just for earning the way you normally would. Check the meter on your homepage and you’ll see you daily goal and how close you are to hitting it. Every day you hit the goal, you add to your bonus!

To top it all, Swagbucks is having a Swag Code extravaganza on Monday – that means lots of codes, lots of Swag Bucks and lots of fun! Don’t miss it!

It’s Time for the Ultimate Blog Party, Let’s Celebrate with a Giveaway {closed}

Anne Bender — Sun, 03 Apr 2011 14:10:26 +0000

Welcome to AnneOnLife!

For those of you just stopping by for the first time, ‘Hi!’ {imagine me jumping up and down waving my arms like a ~~crazy~~ very friendly person} I have been writing here for a little over 2 years now. What started as an outlet for me to pass the time after losing my job has become a fun and interesting way of meeting new people and trying some neat products.

What you will find here are posts about chickens, kids, savings, great products, and great people.

A little about me…

I’m a newlywed. Yep, it took 10 years for me and Dwayne to finally tie the knot. When we did, I chose Friday the 13th, because that’s how I roll.
I have 3 kids. Megan is a junior in college, Amanda will be graduating this year, and Stephen is a Freshman in high school. They grow up so fast.
Scrabble is my favorite game.
I love math and grammar equally. Yes, I’m a total geek.
My lifelong dream is to sell everything I own, pay off all of my debt, have a little in savings, live in a travel trailer and travel the US (and anywhere else I can) and work as a waitress in a truck stop, just because.

And if all that doesn’t intrigue you, how about a giveaway just for stopping by.

One of the products I reviewed recently is one I actually use all of the time. I love that it’s functional, green, and altruistic. Check this out:

Once someone purchases the recycled and reusable bottle, $10 of every purchase will help fund a well to provide clean water in Africa or Asia.

Win your choice of a blue or white Isabella Water Bottle

Leave a comment on this post telling me how you go green.

Winners: Declare-It 60-Day Trial & Tie Buddies

Anne Bender — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 15:05:02 +0000

I have a couple winners to announce this morning, but before I do I wanted to ask a question:

What are you looking for in a giveaway?

I have subscribers via email, RSS feed, Facebook, & Twitter. I list my giveaways on link-up sites. I made it easier (and more fair) by limiting the number of entries. And yet, I only get a handful, if I’m lucky, of entries into any of my giveaways. I have done some searching and find many entries on other sites for the same products. Some times it’s due to the many ways one can enter, but often it is many different people entering.

The form for entering is supposed to make it easier on you, the reader, to enter. I can assure you that it does not make it easier on me. It is actually more work on my end. Yet, I am disappointed at the number of entries. I would be happy with 50, but am lucky to get even 1 at times.

So, if you are reading this, please leave a comment letting me know how you prefer giveaways. Do you like many entries? What kind (follow, like, friend, subscribe, tell me something, etc.). I want to make this as easy and enjoyable for everyone because, right now, it’s not very enjoyable for me. Feel free to leave a comment on this post or contact me via email. Thanks!

So, let’s get down to the name calling, uh, drawing.

The winner of the Tie Buddies for kids is…

Congratulations Sarah T.!

Quickie: Dear Blockbuster

Anne Bender — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 15:51:31 +0000

Dear Blockbuster,

It does not make me feel special when you send me a “We Missed You” email only to find out you sent this same email to many other people. And to add insult to injury you send me a Rent One Get One Free deal. If you knew anything about me, then you would know it is a 20 minute drive to the nearest Blockbuster Express kiosk.

If you really want to show me you miss me, then why not send me a code for a free 2-day rental, so if I don’t make it to “town” the next day I’m not penalized. Now that would make me feel special.

Sincerely,

Anne

ps. Tuesday and Saturday are my preferred rental days.

and not everyone and their mother

You’ve heard the stories.

Man wrote on a social networking site he was going out for the night only to have one of his followers/friends burgle his home.

Woman was out with some friends, receives phone call from a stranger who called the restaurant/bar/night club, gets a bit freaked out.

You want to share information, just more selectively.
