I am still busy filling my POD and using my awesome lock from MasterLock! Sorry I have been so absent from the blog, but packing up 10 1/2 years worth of life is more work than I ever imagined! Thinking we should plan that the next home is our forever home! :-)
Thank you to all of you that entered the MasterLock giveaway! It was fun reading how each of you would use your new lock, if you won it here on the blog! Great ideas from trailers to snack drawers! Amazing how many things we can use a lock for.
The lucky winner of the drawing is:
Diane H!

If you haven't checked your Kraft First Taste account lately, you just might want to. I just found a couple nice coupon offers waiting for me!
I received $1.50/1 Philadelphia Cooking cream printable coupon and they will be sending me a coupon good for a FREE Fresh Take! Love those high-value coupons and of course for the freebies!
If you are not familiar with Kraft First Taste, you may want to head on over and check it out. As a member, you receive some pretty great offers and it is free to be a member. The only thing they ask for in return is that you take a moment to tell them about the product after you have purchased it (with their high value or Free offer coupons) and used it! Easy!
MasterLock contacted me to ask me if I might like to review the 1534D Password Lock and I was excited to do so, since they would also be sharing one with one of my lucky readers! Now, what I didn't realize is that when the lock came in the mail, just days later I would be putting it to use on a POD storage unit!
The timing couldn't have been more perfect for me to give it a complete workout! *smile*
We have had our POD storage unit in our driveway now for nearing a week and have been using the MasterLock 1534D Password Lock on it to keep our home valuables safe.
The 1534D Password Lock offers the ability to use letters and/or numbers. So create a word, use a number code or mix and match! There are several combinations and setting your own combination or switching it up is SUPER easy! I was surprised at how easy it was to do.
The lock itself is heavy duty, but not super heavy in weight, so can be used for seveal different uses. Use it at the gym, on a bike, a school locker or hey, why not use it on a POD storage unit! :-)
Head on over to MasterLock to check out this lock and so many other great options.
Now - on to the giveaway -
