This is it - The last 8 hour giveaway!

Well ladies and gents, this is the absolute final 8 hour giveaway in the ProBlogger Birthday Bash! Can you believe it?
What we’ve got here is a pretty random mix of prizes, and we’re ready to get on with the giving!
Prizes
- Hand-beaded lucky gemstone necklaces and a bottle of I ALLOW IN WINS Essential Roll-on Oil - Contest Queen (I know, we should’ve given this one away in the beginning, huh?)
- $100 Gift Certificate - site only (jewelry) - Lisa Marie Dias Designs
- CD - Zane Tate - Leisure Lab
- Various CDs, DVDs and posters (11) - On Target Media Group
- (3 winners) Cleaning solution kits (Enviro-Friendly) - Morris Green Clean
- Hawaii Stretch DVD - Best Hawaii Vacation Blog
- 2 winners - pick from bargains on site up to $100 each - The Bargain Queen
How To Enter
- All winners chosen at random. One comment per person - duplicates will be deleted prior to draw.
- If you’ve already one something from a previous giveaway, please don’t enter this one (unless we said it was okay on the other one).
- Leave a comment below, with our last keyword of the giveaway: “Random8″ (This helps us through moderation… don’t worry if you misspell it or forget it by mistake - but try to remember or we might lose ya!)
- This giveaway ends at 4am on Monday October 8 (New York, USA time)
Our last 24 hour giveaway is still going on, so if you’re interested in business and life, go check it out.
Look forward to a final post from Darren to wrap up the whole thing (yep, we’ll have one special last giveaway that all can win!) sometime at the end of the 24 hour giveaway.
I also just wanted to say thank you to everyone thus far - you’ve been great, and most of you have welcomed me to ProBlogger for the giveaway in the most wonderful of ways! Thank you so much! ~ Lara
Update - We’ve just closed this competition. We’ll be in touch with the winners and sponsors in the coming hours. Stay tuned for one last post and competition in the coming hour or so.

Goodbye Giveaways. It was fun while it lasted. In fact I would join in this fun even without prizes.
Any type of participation program or promotion is fun and educating to me.
I still thought the “charitypost” was the best idea of all.
Thanks to Darren and Lara for all the work, time and effort involved.
