Happy Valentine's Day! Even if you loathe this Hallmark holiday, you will be doing a happy dance after you read this goodness.
In honor of the National Day of Love, thirty-one bloggers joined forces to offer one of our sweethearts a $1,500 Visa gift card. Holy heart attack!!
Yep, we love you guys and you love us, well we hope so. It's just one big, ginormous love fest today. Take that Hallmark. You ain't got nothing on this Valentine's surprise.
All you gotta do is follow the little Rafflecopter prompts below and you are well on you way to being $1,500 richer.
I know you're gonna be distracted now, day dreaming all week on what you will buy if you win. I know what I would do...slap down a deposit towards a tropical vacay where they serve pretty little umbrella drinks. What would you use the money for?
Good luck and happy chocolate covered strawberry eating. I have inhaled four of those bad boys already and plan on having four more after lunch.

i would use it for moving expenses.. thanks
NO. WAY. I would DEFINITELY buy a pair of Frye boots that I've been obsessing over for like the last 2 months. And the rest would go towards a little vacay for sure! This is SO FUN! Fingers crossed!
This would be awesome to win! The decisions are endless, but maybe towards a new sofa :)
Pretty sure I would put that money to good use if I won. We're going to be putting down new flooring in our living room, and I'd use it for that :)
A vacation! Somewhere exotic!!!! :)
Oh. My. Goodness. AMAZING GIVEAWAY!!!!! I would stock up on a few wardrobe basics and save any left over cash for a "stress release" shopping/entertainment budget when I start grad school in the fall.
I'd save it for something extra special that's for sure!!!! That would be quite amazing. Best giveaway ever! xoxoxo
I'd definitely go on a major shopping spree. i'm in desperate need of an upgrade in my wardrope. and I would love to add more owl stuff to my room. :D and gosh knows what else. Maybe put the rest in saving. hope you have a great valentines day.

Oh my gosh, how awesome! :D I would have a little shopping spree at Forever 21, maybe buy a camera lens, and save the rest! I hope I winnnn! :)
