It’s time for the second annual Create Dunkin’s Next Donut Contest. Although I didn’t enter last year, I loved reading all of the fun submissions! The winner last year was “Toffee for your Coffee,” a Sour Cream Cake donut with glaze and chopped Heath bar. It wasn’t my favorite, but I wouldn’t turn it down if someone gave it to me either.

The winner this year will get a check for $12,000. Simply create your ultimate donut for the chance to win the money as well as the opportunity to have your creation sold at participating Dunkin’ Donuts. You can actually save unlimited creations in “My Donuts” and keep coming up with tasty combinations until you’re ready to enter. You choose the type of donut, size, filling, and toppings, plus give it a name. Once you enter, you can share your donuts on all your favorite social media sites.

Visit Dunkin’ Donuts today because the contest ends Monday, March 8, 2010.

(P.S. I entered the Cookies and Cream Donut Dream, a chocolate cake donut with white icing and Oreo crumbles!)

Win a Pink Cozy from St. Eve Kids

It’s cold in Indiana! That’s why it couldn’t be better timing to receive a free Bright Pink Cozy from St. Eve Kids. Thanks to a special contest through TwitterMoms last month, I also have one to give away! Here’s a picture of my daughter all cuddled up in hers by the fireplace:

My daughter is only 6 but is very tall and this blanket more than covered her up. Her favorite part was the satin around the edges. Since she was a baby, her favorite blankets have always been the ones with satin edges. She loved the satin so much that I included it on every baby quilt I made after that! This blanket is so incredibly soft that it puts all of the other blankets I have thrown across my couch to shame. I have one of the “other” blankets with sleeves and it feels like it is made from felt. This one feels more like my favorite pair of pajamas–soft and warm.

If you want to buy one of your own, you can find St. Eve products at Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Bealls, Kohl’s, Sears, and JC Penney. If you want to WIN one from me, here is how you can enter:

1) Leave a comment below with your favorite book to snuggle up under the covers with (one entry).

2) Twitter about the contest, including my name (@sunshinetricia), and leave a comment below with your Tweet (one entry).

3) Sign up for our newsletter on the right and leave a comment below (e-mail will be verified) (one entry).

4) Blog about this contest and leave your link to the post below (two entries).

Drawing will take place February 15 at noon Eastern. Must be a US Resident, age 18 or older to enter. Winner will be notified via e-mail and have 24 hours to respond or a new winner will be selected.

(P.S. One of my friends is also giving away another Pink Cozy at An Alternate Insight if you want to enter her contest as well!)

My kids are so into the Wizards of Waverly Place on Disney these days that my ears are perked up about it. I came across this cool contest where you can win a 5 day/4 night trip to Los Angeles and lunch with the cast. First and second prizes will be given including Wizards of Waverly Place lunchboxes, autographed magic wands, and soundtracks. In addition, the first 125,000 entries will get a free downloadable song from the Wizards of Waverly Place  TV Series Soundtrack.

You do need a UPC from specially-marked packages of Sara Lee Soft & Smooth Bakery products to enter. However, the rules specifically state that you can just go to the grocery and copy the code from the back of the product (so no purchase necessary). The contest ends November 30, 2009.

By the way, if your kids are into the show, be sure to check out our post about Wizards of Waverly Place merchandise.

What do you get if you win? Essentially it is enough Disney Vacation Club points for your family to take a vacation a year for three years through DVC.
