a bloody good holiday giveaway
It’s my birthday week, so I can do whatever I want. And what I want is to tell you about the newest fang-tastic giveaway I’ve come up with.
The “Fang-tastic Vampire Swag Bag Giveaway” was such a success that Mistress Heidi & I decided to dig around in her super-secret goody bag & come up with an even better collection of swag.
This one is jam-packed with holiday & vampire bling, so you definitely don’t want to miss it. Be sure to check out the full list of contents, as well as the official contest rules… (And even though the contest info in the sidebar hasn’t been updated yet, don’t let that stop you from entering right this minute! It will count toward the new goodies.)
So allow us to introduce…
A Bloody Good Holiday Giveaway
CONTENTS
Naughty & Nice fleece throw
It’s a Wonderful Life DVD (to go with “It’s a Wonderful Bite,“ of course)
Twas the Night Before Christmas DVD (one of my favorite Christmas specials ever…& to go with THE BITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, of course)
To All a Good Night anthology by Donna Kauffmann, Jill Shalvis, & HelenKay Dimon (the Jill Shalvis story in this one is so good!)
Naughty & Nice bedroom slippers (complete with jingle bells!)
Betty Boop “Naughty is the New Nice” t-shirt
Halloween cookie cutters…bat, spider, jack-o-lantern, ghost, black cat, tombstone, & coffin (It’s cookies for Christmas, but with a decidedly dark twist—what could go with my holiday vampire collection better than this? )
bloody fangs necklace
vampire fangs whistle
rubber glow-in-the-dark fangs (for the vampire who’s afraid of the dark)
Naughty or Nice pin
peppermint & cinnamon Before & After Mints
plum-scented Vampire Blood anti-bacterial hand gel
Gal Talk holiday sticky notes…”it’s too late to be good,” “naughty or nice,” “i want it all”
Happy Holidays Swankie hankies
two Christmas ornaments…”On Dasher, on Dancer, on Amex, on Visa!” & “When you stop believing in Santa, you get underwear!”
RULES
To enter, you must sign up for my Newsletter. (And remain subscribed, of course.) (Note: If you think you might already be signed up, but aren’t sure, please sign up again…a major catastrophe has wiped out all previous subscriptions prior to October 2010.)
Contest will run until Sunday, December 26th. Winner will be announced on my WIPs and Chains blog that same day.
U.S. residents only, please. (For the prize only, because of the high cost of overseas postage rates. But everyone is welcome to sign up for my Newsletter!)
If the winner doesn’t contact me with her mailing information within seven (7) days, another name will be drawn & a new winner announced.
Good luck & Happy Holidays!

Well, I do usually celebrate the 12 Days of My Birthday—at least. And I did sort of start on the birthday festivities over the weekend, so…we’ll see. :winkwink

Happy 29th Birthday week!!! And really stretching out the party through the whole month sounds like a good idea. I’ll clear my calendar now.

Ah, you are so sweet to remember. Yes, I’m turning 29 again. And it’s a good thing. :yougogirl

Ah, Dee’s angling for brownie points. Hey, if you think I’m 28, I’m more than willing to go with it. :Pretty

Dee says:
I really wasn’t trying for brownie points. We’re as young as we feel.

I think she was really trying for “goals”, if you know what I mean ~wink~wink~nudge~nudge~

Happy Birthday, Heidi. I know a few people who have birthday weeks and a couple who have birthday months. I’m going to sign up for the newsletter again just to make sure it went through. :party

Happy Birthday Week!!!!!! woohoooo!!
Im signed up..I think…should be….better be!! :devil
On November 8, 2010 at 3:35 pm
Heidi says:
Thanks, all, for the birthday wishes! You know we always have fun in The Dungeon when birthdays are upon us. :biggestgrin
As for the giveaway/newsletter sign-up…if you “entered” for the Halloween giveaway, you should be okay. It’s those who think they’ve been on my mailing list for years who need to re-subscribe because all of that is gone with the wind. :sadheart
But I am of the “better safe than sorry” mentality, so if you’re not sure, try again. You don’t want to miss out on the prizes OR the awesome updates from moi, right? :winkwink

Heidi says:
Do you collect Betty Boop stuff, Beatrice? Cool. I never did, but she’s become a bit of an unofficial Mistress Heidi stand-in, so now I find myself looking for stuff more often than I used to. :dog
On November 9, 2010 at 9:31 am
Beatrice says:
Yup, I do. When I go on trips I try to pick something up. I got a cute Betty Boop TV stand figurine from London. My Aunt when she was in Vegas and Atlantic City she got me 2 cookie jars, one of them Biker Betty and she got me matching Biker Betty salt and pepper set. I made myself a Biker Betty fleece blanket from fabric that I got in New Hampshire. I got key chains, lunch boxes, and other odds and ends. I lost some of my stuff including some tshirts in a move. I’m really picky now on what I want. On Facebook, most times my profile picture is Betty Boop.

Happy Birthday! :yougogirl
I think having a whole month long birthday bash sounds great! I would love to do that.
I subscribed to your newsletter, I’m not sure if I did before so I did again. 🙂
On November 8, 2010 at 11:31 pm
Heidi says:
Better safe than sorry. And I don’t think it will let you sign up more than once with the same name/e-mail, so that’s good…but at least you’ll be sure you’re on there!
Got your info for the FBF win, btw. Will get your books in the mail soon! :biggrin

Does it count if I am already a newletter member?
On November 9, 2010 at 7:23 am
Heidi says:
It does! A winner will be drawn from *all* of the newsletter subscribers. Just be sure you’re newly signed up—like for the last (Oct.) giveaway. If you signed up before that, thru one of my old websites, then your subscription has unfortunately been lost. :stinky

Happy Birthday. That part got overwritten.

just signing in again as a subscriber or whatever you need. Barb S.
On November 9, 2010 at 4:35 pm
Heidi says:
Hey, Barb, you’re back! :thumbsup Told you the new blog would be easier than the last…& pretty much just like the old one.
You don’t need to subscribe of sign up just to blog, but if you want to be on my mailing list & enter the giveaway, then do sign up there. (And, yeah, I know you were on my old list, but in case you missed it, Very Bad Things Happened over the summer & all the original info was lost. :stinky )
So sign up again & you’ll be covered…but you don’t need to “register” or anything just to chat here in The Dungeon. :biggrin

Hi, Heidi! Happy Birthday! Be sure and treat yourself well. Give yourself the present that you really, really want…you deserve it!!! :genie
Remember, it’s not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years. My philosophy of life is: “If you laugh, you’ll live!” :eeee
Thanks for a fantastic giveaway! :blowkiss

Happy Birthday!
You could always do what one of my aunts did and start counting down…after 29 she started going back till she hit 21 again and had that year all over! Talk about a party!
Thanks for the giveaway! I really want those book and have alreay spent my budget for the year (I know, still 1 1/2 months to go, what can I say…I am such a book junkie!).
Have a great b-day week!
