It's Friday...AND a CSNStores.com Giveaway!

Happy Friday everyone!
Hopefully the week has treated you well and everything is line for a great weekend.  If not, hey, there's still time...use it wisely.  Anywho...  It's been a busy week both here on the site and in life so I thought why not give everyone a little fun break today.  Now I know what you're thinking...Friday is usually a break from the reviewing norm.  While that may be true, this particular break is set to score one lucky reader a chance at a rather nifty prize if I do say so myself.



Recently, I was contacted by Sean with CSNStores.com about a fabulous opportunity that I had the option of choosing for myself or sharing with all of you.  This involved some serious thinking on my part (*think*think*think*), I mean really, their items are all so grand and the choices are never ending.  Seriously!  You can get everything from this great bookish table set (see the image below and prepare to SQUEE) to modern bar stools, bookcases to blankets, and a little bit of everything in between.  It was a hard choice!

No...you're eyes are not deceiving you.
That IS a table and chairs that closes up to look like a bookcase!
Okay, so it wasn't that hard a choice really because honestly, my first thought was to share it with all of you.  (Okay, stop hugging the computer....there's more to read and a giveaway to enter!)  So here we are!  Let's get down to the nitty gritty details and get this giveaway started, shall we?

The prize....


(1)  $75 gift certificate to CSNStores.com
It doesn't cover the shipping costs, but you can use it on ANY product from ANY of their sites...and many of their products actually have free shipping so...score!



How to enter...
Just fill out THIS FORM.


I promise, it's short and sweet...and has a few options for extra entries.
In fact, here's a peek at one of those bonus options now. 

Click on over to the site using the link in the post above and take a look around.  Tell me one thing that REALLY catches your eye....and leave it in the comments below.  No worries, you don't have to buy that item if you win; this is more of a look and share to uncover more of the interesting things in their virtual catalog (and perhaps add to a wish list or two...hehe).




The rules...
*Open to US mailing addresses only!  No P. O. Boxes please.
* Entries will be accepted from Friday, January 28th, 2011 through Friday, February 25th, 2011 at midnight CST.  The entries will be tallied and entered into the random.org randomizer, after which a random number will be picked by their number generator.  (This way all the entries are mixed up nicely.)
* All entries must be submitted using the form accessible through this post.  You MUST include your email address in order to be counted as well as contacted should you be chosen as the winner!
*The winner will be announced and contacted via email by Monday, February 28th, 2011 and since it's an electronic prize no worries....the time frame issue to receive a response is erased!
*Winner's name and email address will be forwarded to Sean at CSNStores.com for prize send out only and then discarded.

----------------------------------------

There you have it.
Can't wait to see what you guys find on the site...there is SO much to see!
Get your entries in now and start making that wish list.


Until next time...good luck everyone...and happy reading!
