GIVEAWAY: Win an HP Officejet 7500A Printer worth $179.99

If you read my blog, you know I’m really excited about my brand new HP Officejet 7500A Printer.  What I love most about it is that it can do everything! It great for professional printing, home printing, photo printing, faxing, copying, and crafts. Cool, right?

So yesterday, I told my husband, David, how much I loved it, and his response was, “If you love it so much, why don’t you just marry it?” Hmmm.

Since I can’t actually marry it (although after his comment, I was ready to), I thought I’d give away a printer, and not just because it’s the holidays, but because I want someone else to understand my feelings!

It’s simple to enter. Just head to our Facebook page, “like” us if you haven’t already, and enter your email address in the box provided on the page. (You won’t be signing you up for anything, it’s just so we can contact you if you win).

CLICK HERE TO ENTER!

The contest ends Sunday, December 18th at midnight (PST) and is open to US residents only. We will use random.org to generate our winner, and will notify you by email. Good luck!
