We would like to thank the hosts of this giveaway hop first and foremost. Let us thank:

The theme of this giveaway hop is to get something Made in either your State or the USA. There are so many great things made here in the USA from Gadgets to Cars, it is easy to find what you're looking for locally. While many us may find it easier to run to a big branded store that sells stuff made overseas, it is best to keep the money within the community by shopping locally. Many so-called Mom ‘n Pop shops have gone out of business due to the larger brands, but it's up to us to keep them in business.
While Etsy is a great place to shop, we also recommend looking up Amazon and searching “Made in the USA”. There are over 10 MILLION items on Amazon made in the USA so we are offering up a great $25 Gift Card to be used to purchase one of these items.
Sweepstakes Advantage is also advocating that you go to Americansworking.com and you will find a plethora of goods made in the USA. They have just about everything you could ever think of and a great place to shop locally.
Finally, the 2nd prize also comes from the USA and will give you access to winning so many more prizes! I am speaking, of course, about SweepstakesPlus and you can win 3-months of FREE service if you're chosen as the winner. We will randomly select a winner from the number of entrants on the Rafflecopter form below. Don't forget, you can enter by Tweeting daily! Good luck and happy Sweeping to all.
