August already? Does anyone else feel like the year is just slipping away? If last year’s store antics are anything to go by, we will be seeing Christmas decorations in next to no time. I’m going to try to not let the commercialism and early arrival of all things Christmas get me down this year by embracing the Christmas cheer with bells balls on, or as some like to call them…. Amazeballs.
I’ve had a lot of practice with……. balls the Christmas cheer this month, with a number of Christmas in July events. The latest saw me heading with hubby to The Aviary Perth for a night of shenanigans with a trip for 2 to Bali up for grabs as well as a host of other prizes. I managed to fit in more than a bit of casing the cocktail research for our upcoming mystery tours here in Perth. I can’t tell you how much I’m loving my work at the moment.
Hubby on the other hand, who I dragged along kicking and screaming in a rather appalling sweater in an attempt to nab the worst Christmas sweater competition on the night, wonders what on earth I will have him getting up to next. You will have to head over and case Instagram for the hilarious photos. If the look was ‘Where’s Wally does Christmas’, hubby definitely nailed it!
While we didn’t score the holiday, hubby did manage to pick up the first Christmas Cheer award for the night, which consisted of a $25 voucher. WINNING. Just not as big as we had hoped.
Apart from The Aviary Perth voucher, there were no real WINS to report from me for last month but didn’t we have some fantastic blogs and businesses linking up their giveaways?!
I would have been over the moon to have won the all expenses paid trip to ProBlogger, but it wasn’t to be. Instead, I will once again be playing along from home via social media and hosting my annual Green with ProBlogger Envy support group and GIVEAWAY!
This month, I have my eye on WIN THE BOSS (WORTH $999) WITH AMAZEBALLS through Where The Styled Things Are. There is a bit of work involved to be in the running for this one but the prize, not to mention the delicious treats you will end up with, is definitely worth the effort.
Also on my radar this month, as I continue to build on the giveaway momentum and spread the competition word even further, is our dedicated Facebook group and Instagram page. Keep an eye on each page for giveaways coming soon and if you have a giveaway running on either platform, please feel free to share and start using #aussiegiveaway.

AUSSIE GIVEAWAY LINKUP AUGUST
Have you had any wins lately and what would you like to see up for grabs this month?
I am hoping for a win for the Hilton. Thanks for the giveaways 🙂
Wouldn’t that be fantastic. I wouldn’t mind winning that one myself. Keep checking back throughout the month as more blogs and businesses link up.
Oh some great giveaways – will be back!
I have my eye on a few prizes already. Fingers crossed.
Wow! There are some top prizes up for grabs – winning! We did Christmas in July so have just put the decorations away, but just between you, me and the rest of the interwebs, I can’t wait to get them out again!
I would really love to cancel Christmas altogether and move it to July. It would make things so much easier with family now so far away. Of course, my girls have other ideas.
How awesome is your hubby wearing an appalling Christmas sweater lol. He is such a keeper taking one for the tea like that xx
I know… such a keeper. You should see what I’m having him get up to next. The naked chef meets hire a hubby…. or does he?! lol
No linkup seems to be showing for me here today??
All ok now. Not sure why it wasn’t showing for you earlier.
All good! Love To Dream giveaway ends midnight August 31st. Forgot to mention it.
Great idea on instagram and facebook groups – please let me know when they are up and running! Such a great idea!
Both up and running. I just need to find the time to start promoting them.
Thanks for the link up Raych!! x
No probs Adelle. I’m not online much at the moment, so please just flick through any other giveaways or posts you would like promoted. We are getting our balls on this afternoon. My blender, that has seen me through far too many green smoothies, is on its last legs and this would be the perfect replacement. I’m trying to talk my girls into going with the chilli balls but they’re not biting. lol
choc chilli is SO GOOD!!! Barely any heat, just enough for it to be indulgent! x
Thanks for hosting all these awesome giveaways! I have an autographed copy of a renovating book perfect for home lovers up for grabs this week 🙂
Thanks Michelle. Needing to find more time to promote the linkup so it continues to grow and benefits everyone. Heading over to case and share your giveaway soon.
