I think the contest are hard to find, and I don't go to the video blogs.
I knew about the jewelry, but was not interested, because I don't do fancy jewelry. I didn't know about the Appliance art until I read this post. The Appliance Art is very cute, but nothing I'm interested in owning. I really don't like posting about contest on FB and I don't do twitter.
I love contest, but I don't have time to hunt them down. If they are on the home page in a banner I would check them out.
I hate to sound like a Negative Nellie but I just have never liked the video blog contest.
