I've been using Rafflecopter for about a month. I love it, and it really increases my entries. I also love entering giveaways on it, it's so much easier!

I'm not a reviewer, but I do enter quite a few giveaways and I have to say that I do NOT like rafflecopter. It always takes forever to load. Just my 2 cents.

I entered the magazine giveaway, I did an entry for RSS subscriber but the RSS did not go through. i dont see it on my yahoo & its not working from your site now for me. So you can remove that entry or leave it cuz I will keep trying through out the day.
Thanks, Farrah

I have seen Rafflecopter here and there and I DO NOT like it for this reason:
You can't tell how many people have entered a giveaway. When it is a comment giveaway, you can see how many people entered to figure out if it is worth your while to spend time entering it or not.
Other than that, it is easy and I DO like that, but prefer comment giveaways myself.

Endo Review and Giveaway!

We're so excited to introduce you to Endo ! Endo is here for all your outdoor t-shirt needs with incredible graphic designs to wear.  Cyclist?  Camper?  They're here for us all.  Seriously, what's better than a bright yellow tee with a huge tricycle on it?  Yes, a huge yellow real tricycle would be nice but hey, you couldn't wear that and it would undoubtedly be much harder to come by! We were happy to discover that the Endo t-shirt is longer than some which is definitely a bonus.  You know, no risk of the bad "low rise jeans - shorter tee - don't bend over or sit" dilemma.  It's also pretty dang soft and comfy. In addition to this great t-shirt, Endo also sent their logo tote bag.  These kind of backpack tote bags, or "man bags" as all the local teens call them (because all the boys in junior high have them!) are perfect for a light backpack to carry a water bottle, camera, cell phone, snacks, etc., for an impromptu hike, nature walk

Sit-upon Tutorial By Rachel Beyer

As a former Girl Scout, I have lots of fun camp memories. I remember learning to tie knots, set up camp and to cook over the campfire. An essential Girl Scout tradition is making a sit-upon. A sit-upon is a homemade waterproof cushion. They are easy to make and I remember using them every time we did any activity while sitting on the bare ground, which most often was damp or scattered with uncomfortable sticks and pebbles. A sit-upon is great for sitting around the campfire, your backyard, or even a sporting event.  There are lots of ways to make a sit-upon. When I was a Brownie Girl Scout, we made ours from old vinyl tablecloths and foam. But in a pinch, you can use a plastic garbage bag and a stack of old newspapers for padding. To revisit this simple craft project, I decided to use a roll of vintage vinyl wallpaper I found at a thrift store and some foam I bought at my local craft store.
