Do you want $100 CASH?!?

I don't really do giveaways.  It's not that I have anything against them, and I enter them all over bloggyland, but between frying cheese and leaving love notes for my husband, I just don't seem to find the room for giveaways in my busy schedule. 

But when I heard about Blog Bash 2011, I decided to change my ways.  The great thing about Blog Bash is that there are more than 125 blogs participating, and each blog is hosting a giveaway worth at least $100.  It's like a big ol' party.  And if there's one thing I know, it's that I love me a great party.

So, I bring you the Spaghetti Westerner's very first giveaway ever! If it goes well, perhaps I'll do more...

Now, a lot of people got sponsors for their giveaways, and I'm sure you'll find some really great reviews of really great products from really great companies.  But you'll see none of that over here.

You see, I decided that what I really want is friends.  That's why I blog.   (I hope that doesn't make me sound desperate...) To find cool people and have a community.  So I'm offering $100 CASH to one of my bloggy friends.  Well, not really cash, but a VISA cash card, which is pretty much like cash (and way safer to send in the mail).

While it may *seem* a little bit like a bribe, I like to think of it as a gesture of kindness.  And really, who doesn't want to be friends with someone who's willing to give you a hundred bucks for no reason?

Entering is super easy...just follow my blog (on Google Friend Connect) and make sure you leave a comment (be sure to leave your email so I can reach you) and let me know that you are following (otherwise I'll have no way to actually pick a winner).  Already a follower?  I wouldn't leave you out!  Just leave a comment and say that you already follow me. 

That's it.  No extra entries.  No running around telling me what products you want.  Though, if you want to tell me which post of mine you think is most awesome, I'm not going to stop you.*

Check out the list of participants below.  Good luck, and I hope you win something cool!  And, most importantly, I hope you stop by again soon.

*There's no extra credit in the giveaway for telling me that I'm awesome.  Though I'll return the favor and make sure I pay you a super compliment!

To recap:

Mandatory entry: Follow on GFC and comment that you're a follower. Include your email so I can get in touch with you.
