Keep in mind, I'm not Pioneer Woman, who gives away KitchenAid mixers and $350 Target gift cards. My prizes are more like the booty in the Cracker Jack box.
Today, I'm offering $35 in coupons to Coldwater Creek clothing store.
With Pioneer Woman, you simply have to type anything in the 'comments' box, and you're entered. Winners are randomly drawn. It must be this way, because Pioneer Woman has 20 million viewers a week.
Here at the Ballpark, your odds of actually winning are much higher. Like 1 in 4. And with my giveaways, you actually have to use your brain. Not much, but a little.
Answer these five questions correctly, and I'll mail you these....
The bottom coupon expires 8/31, so you want to be on the ball here.
Off we go...

Ok, this is great. I love it!! 1.B 2.a. 3.b 4.a 5.a Ok, so I know that Phil and Mary would both probably know all the answers so I kept looking at what they said. But here are my best guesses. If you peeled another mango without major protection, you are crazy!!! I can't believe you are that crazy. I am so glad to have been able to participate in this fun contest. I love thinking that you did this. I just finished classes for the summer and I feel like I can breath again. We should talk. Love you Mare, Cindy
