One entry for each of the above.

And if you are really ambitious and do all of the above, She'll give you an extra entry.

Underdog Giveaway: Custom Painting of Something Treaured

Today we're promoting another Underdog Giveaway!

Lara Harris of A Vintage Touch creates vibrant little oil paintings of lovely things, and sells them on Etsy.

I was particularly charmed by this tiny trio of vintage bathing suits:

As well as this old school typewriter:

She also has a little something for shoe lovers:

AND....

She is currently running a giveaway for one (and possibly more) custom painting(s) of treasured things.

Entries will be taken through June 28 and the winner(s) will be announced on the 30th. Click HERE for more details on rules and ways to get additional entries.

Underdog Giveaway: Rocksee's 100th Blogoversary

One of the Underdogs is hosting a giveaway (and no, for once, it's NOT me).

Go visit Rocksee at Rocksee’s At the Porch Swing to enter her giveaway for FIVE fabulous prizes.

You'll have to click the link to see what they are, but I will tell you that chocolate is involved...


Full details can be found there - but keep in mind that it ends on Thursday, June 18.

And if you do enter, tell her that Kate from Underdogs sent you (that will give me five additional entries for the chocolate, I mean PRIZES).

Auction for Carol - Only One More Day!

I found this incredible story on Great Full Day last night.

Last June, Carol Decker had an emergency cesarean section after which she developed life-threatening hypotension from a septic pneumonia infection. During treatment that saved her life she had to have both legs below the knee and her left arm amputated. She is also blind. The already significant medical bills have added up and will continue to do so as she goes through rehabilitation. You can read more about Carol's story on her husband's blog.

To help defray these costs many donors have contributed to a silent auction. I just checked and there are still items with no bids yet. The auction ends tomorrow - and I'd love to send more people their way.

SO - I'm extending my giveaway for the FABULOUS custom Bee Gee bag (I don't know which one the winner will choose - but they're all fabulous, so I can say that) through midnight EST on Tuesday, June 16 (again - THAT'S TOMORROW!)

Everyone who bids on any of the auction items will get another chance to win my giveaway. I will match bids with entries. So if you bid on 3 items, you're name goes into the drawing 3 more times. If there is a bidding war and you bid on one of those three items five times, that's an additional four entries.

AND if you tweet about it or blog about it, or I don't know - whatever you can do to spread the word, I will give you that many entries. I'm not checking anything - it's strictly honor system for Carol. Just get back to me with the total number of entries you should receive by Wednesday the 17th (I know I just said that I'd officially close the giveaway on the 16th...but it will be midnight for god's sake - so give me a little time to update my spreadsheet - sheesh!)

Here are some images of the items up for auction:

I will be reposting this on all of my blogs (I know - I'm like the In Living Color skit about Jamaicans with all of their jobs - "I've got eight blogs mon!") Please, please, please do the same! Even if you can't afford to bid, your efforts to send more people to the auctions will be a huge help.

Now, I'm off to check out the goods...

Underdogs in Action (Including Giveaways)

Our most recent Underdog, Scary Mommy had a fantastic idea last week. She's holding a giveaway and has offered to match blog award votes with giveaway entries.

If you vote for everyone in her list - you can get something like 20+ entries for a $100 giftcard to Sundance:

Underdogs being altruistic....we like that!

She also has two other giveaways on Scary Mommy Reviews. One for $75 in products from Smart Women

and one for an outfit from Baby Petunia

Make sure to drop by and vote for Scary Mommy's list (and if you ask - she may even add you...) Great giveaways, Scary Mommy - good luck to everyone who enters!

Underdog Giveaway: Beautiful Bags from Bee Gee

I know...another of my own giveaways... But I do have good ones!

I featured some of her recent creations on Wishing True last week, and Brooke very generously offered to do a giveaway for me!

So come visit me HERE at Wishing True for a chance to win a custom bag from Bee Gee!

Don't miss this one! And let me know if you'd like to promote your giveaway on Underdogs Unite! Underdogs love a giveaway...

Underdog Giveaway: Gorgeous Headgear from Andrea's Beau

We haven't gotten many of these...so I'll remind all of you Underdogs hosting giveaways that you are free to announce them here!

This is one from The Big Piece of Cake (me).

An additional entry will be offered to anyone who comments that they came from Underdogs Unite (this doesn't preclude you from claiming any number of other other chances to win additional entries - I've lost count, so I may as well keep going...)

So the Underdogs now have an edge on the competition (as is my mission here...you know, if I had an actual mission...)

Andrea of Andrea's Beau is giving this charming little pretty away to one of my lucky BPOC commenters:

AND the winner can select their choice of color:

Visit my other site for giveaway details, but here are the swoon-worthy images I included:

Good luck to everyone who enters!

First Underdog Giveaway

So far we've had several award nominations to post, but today we have our first Underdog Giveaway!

Actually - it's just an Underdog giveaway announcement, but I think Underdog Giveaway has more of a ring to it.

Go visit Christy at Adventures in the Land of the Newlyweds... to win a Ped Egg.

Full details can be found there - but keep in mind that it ends on Sunday, April 12 at midnight EST.

I also have to draw your attention to #6 on the list of ways to get extra entries:

"6. Tell me (in a separate comment) if you think my blog is a girl or a boy ;)"

Hilarious. So visit Christy and give her blog some gender confusion issues. The first tranny blog... Love it.

Welcome Christy!
