I've decided to extend the Bratz 35mm camera giveaway a few more days.  Can't believe there were ZERO entries.  Wow.  If I don't have a winner by the end of the week, I will donate it to a local charity.  I'm sure there is a child out there who would be thrilled to receive a camera for Christmas.

Thank you to all participants :)

I will be in touch with the winners via email later today.

Happy Holidays!

Welcome to Mommycosm's 2nd annual Holiday Hoopla.

Today's giveaway item: Bratz 35mm camera for kids...

Yep, totally kicking it old style.  I'll admit, my kids use an older digitial camera.  I know there is magic when you wait for film to be exposed before finding out how your pictures turned out.  I know.  But I lack that sort of patience these days.  Picking my battles, people.

This would make a great holiday gift for any little wanna-be photographer.  It's a great way to show how we used to do things.  Then you can hide the remote to the TV and make her get up and change the channel for you.  Ahh, the good old days.

Anyhow, the package includes the 35mm camera with built in flash, 12 exposure roll of film, photo album, stickers and battery.

(Disclaimer: This is NOT a sponsored post.)

I am leaving this contest open for a bit.  Nobody wants a 35mm camera?!  I'll donate it to a worthy cause if I don't receive comments soon.  So...still time to win this!

Welcome to Mommycosm's 2nd annual Holiday Hoopla!

Today's giveaway item: A Cookbook for Mommy & Me: Learning to be a little helper

My kids love to help out in the kitchen.  Especially Max.  He was named after my late uncle who owned a successful catering company.  We like to think he got a few genes from his namesake.  Further proof?  He likes to be the wise guy, the life of the party and gives the best hugs...just like my uncle.

This cookbook is "full of recipes prepared by both Mommy and her Little Helper."  *ahem* I'm sure Daddies would love this book, too.

(Disclaimer: This is NOT a sponsored post.  I bought this book from one of the kids' school fundraisers.  I am not affiliated with the book in any way, shape or form.  Just thought someone might enjoy it.)

Welcome to Mommycosm's 2nd annual Holiday Hoopla! 

Today's giveaway item is YUMMY: a $25 See's Candies Gift Card

Who doesn't like candy, right?

Are you familiar with See's Candies?  My post-college roommate brought me back a box from a trip out west and I've been hooked ever since.  We don't have See's here on the east coast - and the distance definitely creates a stronger craving.  Personally, I love their caramels.

I will mail one lucky Mommycosm reader the $25 gift card.  OR if you are in a rush to order something before Christmas, I can give you the appropriate numbers so that you can order online asap.

(Disclaimer: This is NOT a sponsored post.  I am not affiliated with See's Candies in any way, shape or form.  I simply have a gift card to give a reader.)

Read the Holiday Hoopla Official Rules.  The gist:

• To enter to win, you must comment on this post.  Tell me: what's your favorite candy?
• Only one comment per person, per post please.
• You can earn a second entry by Tweeting about the giveaway.  Leave a 2nd comment with the link to your tweet to qualify.

Welcome to day two of Mommycosm's 2nd Annual Hoiday Hoopla!

Today's giveaway item is an 18" glass bead original necklace made by ME.  The beads range in color.  They are clear, light blue, dark blue, light purple and dark purple.  The clasp is a silver claw.  There is a 4" chain on the clasp, so the necklace can be worn at lengths between 18" to 22".  I will send it to the winner in a white jewelry box.

FYI: I'm not a professional jewelry maker.  You will not find my work on etsy or anywhere else.  I currently only make jewelry for friends and family.  I'm also not a professional photographer.  So, not sure if the pictures do the necklace justice.  It's really pretty.

(I will guarantee the clasp on the necklace for up to a year.  If it breaks, send it back to me.  I will reimburse the shipping cost and fix for free.)

Enter to win this necklace...check out the Holiday Hoopla Official Rules.  The gist:
