Time to Pay It Forward

Last week, I received this in the mail from Swistle:



It also had Smarties and fudge, but well...I have kids and we all love candy so that never made it into the picture!

These are my favorite items of all, and I meant to have the cool vase full of flowers before I posted its picture. However, it's been a week since I got the package and didn't want to delay anymore. I'll post a pic once I use the vase.



In a previous post, I joked about giving away a Disney DVD. Since then, I haven't come up with any better ideas. Instead, I decided to use this one (brand-new and unopened, I promise) as a theme for my Pay It Forward prize! One lucky winner will be getting this in the mail from me!



I have looked high and low for other cute Dalmatian items to include until I realized I had received my prize a week ago and that I needed to get the ball rolling on my own giveaway! IF I find something between now and the end of the contest, I will throw it in as well.

To win, leave me a comment telling me your favorite Disney movie or your favorite movie snack and be ready to pay it forward yourself! I will take entries until Friday at 6 p.m. and then use the Random Number Generator to choose a winner! Be sure and leave your actual email with your comment instead of the noreply@blogger.com default so that I can contact you and let you know you've won!

Good luck!

While really all the movies featuring princesses are my favorites (except Aladdin...I HATE Aladdin. A guy I dated once called me racist and sexist for hating the movie. Whatever. He broke up with me because I was white and couldn't make tortillas -- honestly -- and only asked me out in the first place because he thought I was Hispanic...wow, that was long), there is a special place in my heart for Sleeping Beauty. Sigh. I love it. I think it's the forest. Same reason I love the Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum part of Alice in Wonderland.

Beauty & The Beast. Hands down favorite. And the scene where they are feeding the birds that's my fav.

My favorite disney movie is Mulan ... not sure why that is. Perhaps it's the sexy bad guy?

One summer, my sister and I watched ALL the disney movies we owned until we could quote the ENTIRE movie. Yeah, we had NO LIFE.

Marie Green said...

I think Beauty and the Beast is my fave disney movie. And my favorite movie snack? Something I pick up at the gas station on the way there. Like, perhaps, sour patch kids.

Hi! Found you through Swistle. My favorite Disney movie... I loved the music in The Jungle Book. So I'll go with that one. Favorite movie candy is Milk Duds.

(I came thru Swistle, too)

Favorite old school Disney movie is Pete's Dragon or the Rescuers. New school favorite is Monsters, Inc. (we love Disney, too, so it's hard to pick!)

Pixie said...

ONE favorite? Really? I'd have to say either Dumbo or Robin Hood. (But really... they're all awesome!)

Candy? Skittles! or anything involving peanuts/PB and chocolate.

Don't draw me though. I've already got Dalmations... don't want to take from someone who doesn't have it yet! :D

Leashah said...

We have so many favorites around here. I really love Brother Bear. Also, Lilo & Stitch!!!

Favorite candy? My daughter's is M&Ms and mine is anything dark chocolate. Mmm.

Jennifer said...

I remember the many Disney movies the Goodman family collected and were enjoyed by many who entered their home. I don't think I can pick a favorite because I love them all--old and new!

Missy said...

Favourite Disney movie - Beauty and the Beast. Loved seeing on Broadway when I was in New York as well.

sara said...

I found you through the lovely Swistle as well. Thank you Swistle!

Favorite Disney Movie ~ Mary Poppins (1964)
Favorite Movie Candy ~ Bottle Caps

Michelle said...

Yay, Swistle!

Anyway, favorite Disney movie is Fox and the Hound.

And oddly, my favorite movie treat is Icees. I looooove Icees and movies are the only time I get them now -- and about the only place I see them anymore. I actually pick theaters based on whether they have an Icee machine. Sad, I know.

Found you through Swistle.

Favorite Disney movie- The Lion King
Favorite Quotable Disney movie- The Emperor's New Groove

Favorite candy- chocolate covered raisins...yum!

I was six, or maybe eight when my favorite disney movie came out, The Little Mermaid.

My brother and his wife (they are some 20 years older than me, my brothers and I were all adopted) took me to see the movie in the theaters, and I was so excited to be there I ran into the glass pannel that seperates the mall and the movie theater.

Of course they thought it was the funniest thing ever and it's a story that is repeated all the time in my family.

Our movie theater has dippin dots and currently that's my movie theater snack choice.

Lemonheads! Although my mom told me that when she was a kid they would warm Junior Mints up in their hands and then throw them at the movie screen to get them to stick, so that's fun.

Mary Poppins--is was the first movie I ever saw in the theater (when it was rereleased).

And I'm here from Swistle, too. Just point us to the giveaways and we're there!

Junior mints and sour patch kids (actually, they go good together). Is that weird?

Well I love the Beauty and the Beast, I think it's my favorite. And I did love the chocolate covered almonds but they don't sell them anymore here... boo....so I guess the sour gummy bears are my new fave. :)

Misty said...

I found you through Swistle...hi! I've loved Disney movies since I was 9 and decided I wanted to be an animator. (Yeah, right, that never happened.) Right now my absolute favorite is TOY STORY! My 2 year old loves it, and I can listen to it on it's continuous loop in the playroom and not go slowly insane. "To infinity, and BEYOND!"

Favorite candy? Reese peanut butter cups. They are my personal crack cocaine. :)
