Welcome to All Things Bloggy Party! What this party offers - list of hot links to contests and giveaways, tips on increasing your chance to win and the number of entrants if you are hosting giveaways and more.

This blog is an extension of my Life's a Charm! blog. Here I post about all things bloggy, but mostly I list interesting giveaways I have found! Although, I do have more plans for this site, for now it caters to giveaway enthusiasts like myself.

Are you ready for the mom blogging event of the year - The Ultimate Blog Party?

The Ultimate Blog Party is happening from tomorrow, March 20th until March 27th. Join the party and be entered to win one of over 200 prizes listed at Ultimate Blog Party 2009 Prizes Page.

Janna embodies the true definition of a 'sweeper'. I am actually amazed at the prizes she has won - a Wii Console System from Entertainment.com, $250 Gift Certificate, her wedding gown to name a few.

She hopes that through her blog Feed Your Pig, she will be able to teach people how to use the internet to fatten their finances or their "pig". It's goal is to show consumers how interacting with brands and use the internet creatively can help to save them money by receiving products, discounts, or money itself.

I'm so happy when Janna contacted me to be featured in this series. Her years of experience in joining sweepstakes and contests will prove invaluable to other contest addicts and sweepers out there.

A Little Something about Janna

I am a 28 year old, married women. My husband Tommy, my dog Phranklyn, and I live in Columbus,OH. I am a Psychiatric Care Technician by day and a sweepstakes enthusiast by night. I am also venturing into blogging! My hobbies are crochet and sweepstakes. I love spending time with my family, learning and teaching about mental illness and addiction disease, and using my laptop (nonstop)!

How many contest-giveaway do you enter? How often do you enter?

Stacie is the lovely lady behind two blogs, Simply Stacy and The Natural Way and co-owner of Mystic Connections. She is one of those familiar faces in the bloggy giveaway world for she not only enters giveaway that fancies her but she also host series of interesting giveaways from Twilight inspired pieces to perfumes and varied items.

I am thankful to Stacie for her warm reception to my emails and for gracing All Things Bloggy with her presence in this series of 'The Giveaway Enthusiasts'. I am sure that her insights will be useful to other giveaways lovers out there and to giveaway hosts who want to gain more entrants by following her tips.

A little bit more about Stacie

I'm a SAHM of two girls ages 4 & 10. I've been married for 10 years and live in Ontario, Canada. My husband is in the military so we have moved around quite a bit in the last 10 years. I studied to become an Accountant and worked in public practice firms for 5 years. I left my job in August 2007, because of chronic health issues and now stay home to look after my kids. I love reading, writing, and of course blogging and entering giveaways

How many contest-giveaway do you enter?

I've never actually counted, but I know its quite a few! When I first started, I entered everyone I came across, but now I'm being a bit more picky and only entering the ones with prizes that I really really want. Since I started my blog, I have had to cut back in the amount that I enter because my own blog is keeping me so busy! I just don't have the time I did before.

What is your greatest highlight and frustration with regards to entering contests and giveaways?
