GIVEAWAY from Team BurnIt

Jeff from Team BurnIt is really passionate about fitness and nutrition - and he loves helping people reach their goals! Having lost 100 lbs in less than one year, Jeff knows what he's doing! He isn't a fitness instructor or nutritionalist or anything; but he knows what works for him, and he wants to share that with you today.


Hey everyone, it's me, Jeff from Team BurnIt. As you can see in the picture above, my health has changed dramatically in the last year. I have gone from 357 lbs down to 255 lbs since February 2012. I have learned a lot about fitness and nutrition, and I love sharing my journey and knowledge with the people I meet.

I was always the "big guy" growing up. Despite being a very active guy, eating the incorrect food hindered me from seeing any change. My most recent job was encouraging a sedentary lifestyle, and in the last 4 years, my weight just ballooned. 357 lbs is the heaviest I have ever been, and I have vowed to myself to never go back to that weight. It was absolutely horrible. I wasn't able to keep up with my kids, I huffed and puffed just walking up the stairs, and I had almost constant back pain. Not to mention clothes that never fit me properly (yeah, guys have that too!) Now, due to my weight loss, I have way more energy - I have run a 5K, and I am now a smaller guy now than when I was on my wedding day!

With this lifestyle change, many people have been asking me what I've been doing to get these results, and I gain so much satisfaction from helping them reach their goals!


Jeff from Team BurnIt is offering one super lucky winner the chance to win the workout program called TurboFire! This is a fabulous workout program developed by award-winning fitness instructor Chalene Johnson, a woman who is passionate about fitness and music - which is the reason why TurboFire came to be. Chalene created an intense conditioning program that is mixed with killer workout music.

I have been doing TurboFire myself for the past six weeks, and I LOVE IT!!! I've heard people compare it to Zumba, but I've gone to Zumba classes, and I don't like it at all - but I LOVE TurboFire. It is an awesome program! I am now eager to wake up at 5:00 a.m. every morning for my workouts. It helps me get into such a great mood for the rest of the day, and it really sets a good tone for the rest of the day.

Some people may be worried about doing this workout program, since it is rather high intensity. But I would tell those people that they don't have to worry about that AT ALL. During each workout, there is a girl who shows a lower impact version of each of those workouts - even jumping jacks! So if you have knee problems (which I do) or back problems, you won't have to worry about pushing it too hard. I have actually discovered that since I have started working out properly, I'm building up the muscles around my knee, which is helping to alleviate most of the pain. BONUS!!!

Anyhoo. To enter to win this fant-abulous giveaway, follow the options below:

Giveaway :: Sukran Jewelry

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

You can see who won here.


It's very hard to find such craftsmanship; each of these pieces are crocheted. It's just too much to take in! CROCHETED! A far cry from the crude winter hats and scarves that I make!

At a very young age, while all of her friends were outside playing, Sukran learned how to crochet with traditional Turkish patterns. As she grew, Sukran continued in her love of creating by studying art in Instanbul and later in Florida. She has a name for her style of jewelry: Bohemian Elegant Chic.

Take a look at these gorgeous pieces! I wonder how long it takes Sukran to make one piece; I know it would take me a LONG time.




And the best news yet today is that one lucky winner will win a stunning brooch with a June birthstone in the middle - a great gift for a June birthday, or just a treat for yourself!


Here is a bit of information about the piece you will be winning:

Crocheted Gold Floral Pearl Brooch - $32.90
This brooch could also be used as a pendant, not only as a brooch.
I use very special 2% real gold coated japanese kimono embroidery thread. It is not a metallic thread. The texture is just like a very fine gold filled wire which imports from Japan.
This piece measure about 1" in diameter.

This giveaway from Sukran will run until Sunday, June 10.
On Monday, June 11, I will pick the winner using random.org.

This giveaway is open worldwide!
Please leave a comment for each entry.
Please leave your email address in each entry, so we know how to contact the winner.

Giveaway from Something Old & Something New!!!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!!

Abbey over at Something Old & Something New is giving away this gorgeous fiddlehead necklace! Now, perhaps some of you haven't tried them, but fiddleheads are - in my opinion - one of the best tasting vegetables out there. If you haven't tried them yet, go get some! This pendant necklace is an elegant and tasteful tribute to the beautiful fiddlehead.


Abbey used an ivory coloured silk dupioni from a recycled formal dress to embroider the fern, and set it in a brass setting.

This giveaway is available only to residents of the US and Canada.

Owl Embellishment Giveaway Winner

I posted a giveaway two weeks ago to celebrate 100 likes on my facebook page. Here is what I am giving away:


The giveaway, this set of eight owl embellishments, brought in 11 comments, most of which were new followers of my blog! Each contestant was allowed one comment as their entry. I used random.org to pick a random number, and the person whose comment is that number wins the prize!

And the winner is...


Alicia C who wrote:

"It's so funny - I was entering to win the notecards on Midnight Sewing Mom and the mandatory entry was , "What is your favorite item at For Any Occasion?" Mine was these owls! I am a GFC follower AND a FB fan."


Congratulations, Alicia! I will be contacting you within the next few minutes to arrange delivery!

GIVEAWAY!!!

I told everyone on my facebook page that once I got 100 likes, I would host a giveaway. And on Saturday night, I saw the big number: 100!!! I wasn't about to start a giveaway that minute, nor get one ready on Sunday, as it is my Sabbath. So I'm starting it today. Monday is a good day to start a giveaway, don't you think?


This is what I'm giving away to celebrate 100 likes:




These owls are one of the newer listings in my shop. These little guys are punched out of chocolate brown and olive green card stock, then lovingly glued together. You can use these as embellishments on your scrapbook pages, on your handmade cards, or as journaling spots. You could use them as part of dinner placement seating tags or even to decorate a handmade picture frame - those of you who are more creative than I am could think of countless other possibilities, I'm sure.


How to enter:


1. You must live in Canada or the U.S. - sorry, no international entries, please!
2. You must either become a follower of this blog or you can like my facebook page.
3. You must comment on this post - which will be your entry for the prize. Your comment should include that you have either followed my blog or liked my fb page, and your email address so I can contact you in case you are the winner. Don't worry, I will not use your email address for anything other than this contest, nor will I give it away to anyone.


This giveaway will go for two weeks, ending on May 9, 2011 at 12:00 p.m. At that time, I will pick a winner using a number generator from random.org. I will contact the winner and arrange shipping.


It's as simple as that! Please tell your friends, I would love this to be a successful giveaway.
