End Date - July 26, 2011

Entry Frequency - daily per person

Simone's Thoughts - I love West Elm. Their catalogs belong in the scene in Fight Club (haha). When they opened a store in my town, I was so excited. This amount won't take me far with their prices, but it is more than I have now!

Simone's Thoughts - We just went to the Atlanta aquarium a few weekends ago and it was fabulous. That being said, the New England aquarium is very nice as well and well worth the visit. This would be a great family trip. Throw in a trip to Fenway and I have a happy husband as well.

For the ladies

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Helzberg Diamond Ring Sweep

Prize(s)- 1 carat Scott Kay engagement ring

End Date - 1x per person

Entry Frequency - September 16, 2011

Simone's Thoughts - I figured that since I had a motorcycle sweep yesterday, I would do something typically girly today. I wouldn't consider myself a typical girly girl, but you gotta love diamonds!

Victory

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Polaris Victory Sweep

Prize(s)- 2011 Polaris Victory Motorcycle

End Date - June 12, 2011

Entry Frequency - 1x per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - I didn't realize that Polaris owned the rights to Victory. Of course I don't really know much about motorcycles. The higher rate of death part just doesn't live up to the adrenaline in my family focused mind. If motorcycles are your things though, it looks like a nice one.

Decking

Sweepstakes Title/Link - This Old House Deck Sweep

Prize(s)- An Outdoor Oasis package including Trex Transcend™ decking, railing and outdoor furniture package (ARV: $12,500), a Sunbrella fabric-covered retractable awning (ARV: $3,000), and an Eldorado Stone firepit, seating and stone package (ARV: $2,000)

End Date - June 17, 2011

Entry Frequency - daily per email

Simone's Thoughts - Our house, like any house, needs things. Outdoor paint is at the top of the list. A deck would be nice though as well and lord only knows I won't be shelling out the cash for something non-essential like this. Make sure you realize that this package does not come w/ installation so that will be a cost you will have to absorb with your wallet, favors to friends, or elbow grease- FYI.

Chocolate - not so much

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Nestle Maggi $10,000 Sweep

Prize(s)- $10,000; also $200 GC daily

End Date -May 29, 2011

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - Old habits are hard to break so I still associate Nestle with Chocolate and Phillip Morris with smokes. Guess they both do food now - yum! In any case, you can buy a lot of stuff w/ $10,000 although chocolate and smokes - not so much.

Note: You don't have to include a tip, just your email and then further info on next page.

Simone's Thoughts - We're off to Atlanta later this week on a trip win and Max wants to do the zoo. Still not sure if time will permit, but this car reminds me of safari.

Sweepstakes Title/Link - Weather Channel Disney Sweep

Prize(s)- 5 day trip for 4 to choice of Disneyland or Walt Disney World

End Date - May 13, 2011

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - Never been to either, but I'm sure Max would hate us when he grows up and realizes he'd been to either when he was too young to remember.

Prize(s)- 2011 Kawasaki JT1500 jet ski; also other prizes of random lake fun stuff

End Date - July 31, 2011

Entry Frequency - 1x per household

Simone's Thoughts - Looks like its headed for another drought year here in Texas and while its obviously not my primary concern, it does suck that we can't be on the lake as much. Not to mention all the fish start dying and it just stinks in general. Here's hoping for rain and my ability to use this waverunner when I win it.

End Date - July 15, 2011

Entry Frequency - daily per person/email

Simone's Thoughts - Another month gone, another hope for some awesome FedEx affy arriving at my doorstep in the next week. One can dream. This one would be cool to win although not sure on the whole 1 night trip thing, but whatever, for the $50k its well worth it.
