Winter Solstice $100 CSN Stores Giveaway!

December 21, 2010 by Suzie the Foodie 53 Comments

My newsletter readers knew all about this contest ahead of time! Want to be kept in the loop? Just subscribe! It’s free and easy. 

Contest is now closed! Winner will be announced some time on Christmas Eve. Good luck everyone! ~ Suzie the Foodie

We are being hit with a storm this morning in the Maritimes although Mother Nature is holding the snow which I do not mind one bit! But it is a crazy dark day and will be the longest night of the year. What better way to warm the heart than to do a $100 CSN Stores Giveaway on my blog for one of my lucky loyal readers.

It is true that for $100 you may not be picking up luggage sets but you could get a Magic Bullet, a waffle maker, fondu set or even a chocolate fountain for next year’s Christmas party! Those are just some fun ideas for you to ponder as you create your wishlist.

GUIDELINES

  1. Contest is open to residents of the United States and Canada. 
  2. To enter, I do ask that if you are not already a follower of my blog to become one. Remember, the more followers I have, the more likely I will be able to do giveaways like this one. 
  3. As well, please let me know what you would like to see more of on my blog: product reviews, restaurant reviews, personal stories, recipes, recipe reviews… Your feedback really helps improve my blog.

Winner will be announced this Friday on Christmas Eve. Last giveaway I had to toss out many names because people did not leave any contact information. I need a way to contact the winner. If you have no profile and do not leave an email address, you will be disqualified so please, leave your email address.

Brightest blessings this Winter Solstice and best of luck to all my foodies friends!

    Wow, what a wonderful giveaway, Suzie! I followed your blog (privately, I hope that counts) and I’m here. ๐Ÿ™‚ I love reading all of the content on your blog, so it’s hard to choose what I’d want to read more of. I have found your recipes great to read, especially now that N and I have been trying some of them, and I love your reviews of all kinds, but I also love your personal stories.

    Um, more of all of it, please, to the extent your health lets you – that’s my answer. ๐Ÿ™‚ And Blessed Solstice to you!

    So glad I found this blog (and facebook) what I like the best are your recipe reviews. Then I know whether or not it’s something I should try. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Thats such a tough question because I love your blog already. I love the step-by-step photos which is really helpful in making a recipe, I love your way of writing, I love the photos themselves and how delicious everything looks and I love how you do put a little of what’s going on in your life into each blog post. I do love the recipe reviews more than anything though. Maybe more of those?

    I live in Halifax but I’m from PEI, and I got home for Xmas yesterday. It is VERY windy here – and the sea is just a churning. Perfect day to cuddle up with a cup of tea and a good book. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I like the mix on your blog of product reviews, recipes, and restaurant reviews. I really like the product reviews when you do items I can run out and easily purchase, like the PC stuff.

    Oh, and I have the Out of NS Kitchen cookbook too – haven’t tried it yet, but am looking forward to it!

    Suzie, you know I’m a loyal follower! I’ve always enjoyed your recipe reviews and your personal stories that go with them. Product reviews are awesome too, I just tried the Tetley “Warmth” tea thanks to your review and giveaway and I absolutely LOVE it! So the product reviews are nice as well. Keep up the fabulous work on the blog, your photos and tutorials are always amazing and so helpful. I look forward to reading your blog each and every day.

    Stay warm, and hope the storm is just a wee one.

    Seasons greeting to you Suzie and to Reg and the rest of your family. I think it’s awesome how you do these contests….but I have to say I really enjoy seeing all the many interesting recipes that you do. I would love to continue seeing more of that and one thing that I think is so cool, is when you do write ups about restaurants. It really gives all of us the heads up on where it’s more worthwhile to try out different places versus staying away from the restaurants that we don’t want to waste our money on if the food isn’t good.

    Hi, Susie~~
    Season’s Greetings to you and your dear hubby, ‘way out in the boonies in cold, wet Nova Scotia! My part of BC right now is fairly dry and not too cold.

    I enjoy your recipe tutorials with the photos and reviews–the successes and failures (I really enjoy it when you can laugh at yourself!); the product reviews, especially if from a store I have access to, like the PC stuff you did recently (I actually checked out some of the items you showed us). I enjoy learning more about who Suzie is from the stories you tell. I enjoy the NS restaurant reviews, because even though I can’t visit the places, I do remember the area from when I lived there. And, of course, I like the contests, too!

    I can’t think of any suggestions for improvement! ๐Ÿ™‚ Keep up the good work!!!
