Thank you to ALL who entered our Twilight Giveaway! We had over 1,100 comments which was so great to see the support for the movie and the podcast.

Prize Pack #1

Our winner was chosen at random and I would like to congratulate Holly Urbanek on winning.

Holly said, “I am a huge Twilight fan. Definitely Team Edward! I love Jacob, but Edward is beyond amazing. My favorite book was actually the first 12 chapters of Midnight Sun that I read on Stephanie’s website.”

Prize Pack #2

Our winner was chosen at random and I would like to congratulate Deenee on winning a copy of the movie!

Deeenee said, “”I am SOOO Team Jacob!! Hearing Taylor Lautner on blogtalkradio just now reinforced my love of alll of the twilight books, especially New Moon, where Taylor/Jacob takes center stage. I am soooo excited to see New Moon and I’m definately going to see it at midnight when it comes out. By the way, the interview was awesome and it was really cool to hear the real Taylor Lautner speak his mind. :)”

We can’t wait to send out their prize packs to our lucky winners. If you didn’t win these giveaways, don’t despair! We are giving away TEN more copies of the movie so please hurry over here and get your entry in today!

Tonight is the big night for our exclusive podcast with Taylor Lautner. I have partnered up with Walmart on this exciting project to interview one of the stars from the movie, “Twilight” based on the Twilight book series by Stephenie Meyer. I am going to be co-hosting this BlogTalkRadio show with Taylor Lautner, AKA Jacob, on a very special interview while the cast is on location for the second film (“New Moon“). I will be co-hosting this on the “Stardish Radio” program at 9 pm (EST) TONIGHT.

Speaking from the location of The Twilight Saga’s New Moon, Taylor will take questions from fans “logged in” to BlogTalkRadio with host Jo Ann Kubasek (Stardish Radio) and myself.


To kick off this exciting event, I am offering two exclusive giveaways this week to get your Twilight party started!

Prize Package #1– This prize pack will include all the fan gear you could ever imagine. This prize pack is valued at over $150!

Prize Package #2– Will include a $25 Walmart gift card that will cover the expenses so you can buy the Twilight DVD completely guilt free.

In partnership with RGM and Mercedes, we got a chance to test drive the new Mercedes GLK for a week. We will be blogging about our experience this past week with their new budget-friendly SUV that they have come out with and we get to offer a giveaway for each day that we rode in it.

I wish I could give each of you one of these cars, but unfortunately that wasn’t in the budget. Instead, I will be offering up a $50 Visa Gift Card to one lucky reader for each post. That is $250 in giveaways that I will be sending out to you.

You can watch the journey unfold as we received the car in the middle of a good ol’ Midwest blizzard. When else would you want a good car to drive around that could get your husband to work safely?

Please be sure to get in your entries and I will be sure to highlight all these giveaways in our Apron Full of Giveaways round-up tomorrow!

I will just show you a picture and you can decide if you want to enter or not! Head on over here to find out multiple ways you can get your entries in for this little Valentine’s Day treat! The contest will end on Valentine’s Day! Good luck!
