Time & Money GIVEAWAY

THIS CONTEST IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNER

Time sure flies when you're having fun! The Fifty Factor blog was born 6 months ago and this is my 100th post! To celebrate this momentous occasion, I'm having my first ever GIVEAWAY!

This is seriously big for me! Never in my wildest dreams did I think I had 100 posts in me. And never, ever, did I imagine, I'd make so many wonderful friends from around the world. My sincere thanks to all of you for your kindness and support these past six months.

Now for the Giveaway. Drumroll please.....

The Fifty Factor Time & Money Giveaway

Enter for a chance to win a $50 Visa Gift Card and this beautiful indoor/outdoor Sunface Clock from Teak, Wicker & More! This way, you can celebrate any way you like and keep track of time-- whether you're sipping martinis by the pool, shopping from home online, or kicking back on your patio furniture with your feet up!

You have three easy ways to enter:

1) Leave a Comment on THIS POST or any of my NEW POSTS between now and August 16th, 2009. Each Comment earns ONE entry per post, per person. The more NEW Posts you Comment on, the more chances you'll have to win!

2) Follow me: That'll earn you THREE additional entries. Leave a separate Follow Comment on this post telling me you're a new Follower or, if you're already a Follower, tell me that too-- Either way, you earn three extra entries (max) for Following.

3) Spread the love and blog about "The Fifty Factor Time & Money Giveaway" on your blog and earn FIVE additional entries. Be sure to leave a separate Spread The Love Comment on this post with a linking URL to your blog post so I add your extra entries! Five additional entries max per person for spreading the love.
The Fifty Factor is having a great Time & Money Giveaway sponsored by Teak, Wicker and More who carries everything from bird baths to patio furniture. Stop by before midnight, August 16th and enter to win!

Got it? Here's the fine print:

--Full Contest ($50 Card and Clock) open only to residents of U.S. and Canada. Entries outside U.S. or Canada ARE eligible ONLY for the $50 Visa Gift Card. Sorry, shipping is just too expensive overseas. If the 1st winner is outside U.S. and Canada, a runner up winner will be drawn for the clock. If that doesn't make sense, please email me.
--Winner will be chosen at random by me. I'm new at this so please cut me some slack if this isn't the way you would do it. All decisions are final.
--Be sure to include a valid email address.
--Anonymous comments will not be considered.
--Comments will close at midnight PST on August 16, 2009. Winner will be announced here, at www.TheFiftyFactor.com on or about August 17, 2009.

So join in the fun and leave lots of comments so you have lots of chances to win the $50 Visa Gift Card and the Sunface Clock!

Good luck and thanks again for 6 great months of blogging support!
