As many of you know, I started this blog as a way to update family and friends on my day-to-day life and to have sort of a journal.  Along the way I have become interested in and actually have done some paid posting.  What I would really like to do is reviews and giveaways on a regular basis.  I have signed up here and there to get involved in some reviews, but never really gotten the results I wanted.  So you can imaging how excited I was when out of the blue,  I received and E-mail from CSN stores wanting me to do a review and/or giveaway on my blog.   They sell everything from bar stools to diaper bags, AND they carry some of the best known name brands out today… Cuisinart, Lego, Kohler, and Pyrex just to name a few!

CSN stores is  an online retailer with headquarters in Boston.  They had a meager start in 2002 with just two employees and one online shop. And now, they have become one of the top 3 online US retail stores of home and office goods now employing over 400 people and running over  200 online stores. They sell cookware, toys, furniture, pet supplies, the list simply goes on and on.  AND most items will ship to Canada.

Now, on to the business at hand…MY VERY FIRST GIVEAWAY!!!!  I had a hard time choosing with all the great things they have to offer, but I when I found this item and I knew this was the one.  I make a cookie that has all kinds of stuff in it , including ROLO’s  candies, and they are so hard to get off the cookie sheet, it makes me crazy.  I am hoping that this Paula Deen cookie sheet with the silicone insert will make my cookies easier to get off the pan!!

Isn’t it a beauty?  I can’t wait to get this and use it!! Here is the deal, CSN is sending me one to use and review, but they are also sending YOU one just to have and keep and love and use!!!  Are you as excited as I am??  Here are the details….

A while back, I won an MP3 player in a giveaway, and I also won some i-tunes gift cards.  What i am wondering is if you can use these gift cards with MP3 players?  On the cards they say you can download music to ipods and computers, but it doesn’t say anything about MP3 players.  I have had some people try to help me with this but I haven’t figured it out yet!!

I am computer, ipod, MP3 player illiterate!!  Basically anything electronic is over my head!!  Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!!  Be blessed!!

Hi. Hi.  I just won an MP3 player in a giveaway!! And I also won some i-tunes gift cards.  What i am wondering is if you can use these gift cards with MP3 players ?  On the cards they say you can download music to i-pods and computers, but it doesn’t say anything about MP3 players.  I am about as helpless as they come when it comes to this stuff.  Anyone know anything about it??
