Great giveaway guys, I have to be honest though I have no desire to own an i-anything I’d totally be the best sister ever and give it away.
Catherine recently posted..Money, Feminism and Divorce?
I am the same way Catherine. I am not an Apple fan at all, but my wife is a devout Apple follower. I’ll be doing good if I make it out of December without buying one.
Great idea for a Giveaway!

Not a problem Pauline. You never know.

Grayson @ Debt RoundUp recently posted..Save For Retirement or Pay Off Debt?
No problem Grayson. My wife is wanting one as well, so we shall see.
My wife keeps asking me what I want for Christmas and I keep telling her “nothing.” However, there would be PLENTY of things I’d like if we didn’t have restrictions on the budget…this being one of them.
Great giveaway; I’m glad we could all get together to host something like this!
Jason @ WorkSaveLive recently posted..Want to Win an iPad 3? Luckily for You, We’re Giving One Away…
I hear ya Jason. We’re the same way. My wife is trying to rationalize buying one right now, just have to make sure it’s feasible for us.
I agree, I think it’s a pretty awesome giveaway too.
Great giveaway. I won a laptop a couple of years ago so I think it used up all my good karma forever.

Savvy Scot recently posted..2012 – What a Freaking Year!
We’ll see!
I’m so excited to win this prize!
Thanks for co-hosting. Banding together was an awesome idea. Contest seems to be going really well so far, probably because the prize is so cool. I’ve seen other iPad giveaways before but they’re either a last generation model or a smaller model.
Liquid recently posted..iPad 3 Holiday Group Giveaway
Likewise! I liked the idea and it does seem to be going very well. It’s the only one of this kind I’ve seen.
Very exciting giveaway!
