March Madness... Saradise Style! (MAJOR giveaway contest)

March Madness Contest
March 1-23

I was on dance team both in high school and in college. (You know, the dancers that dance during half time at basketball and football games? That was me.) So, I've seen a LOT of basketball. Too much. So much that I now actually really dislike the sport. 

Except for March Madness. There is something about the excitement of March Madness that just sweeps me away. Actually, I know exactly what it is...the BRACKETS. I love playing them. Especially because I know NOTHING about the teams, but I usually end up in the winners circle.

But I hate waiting til the middle of March for the madness to start. Which is why I'm starting my own March Madness on the first of the month for you guys, my awesome b-buddies! (Bfriends didn't go over so well, I'm trying out the b-buddy thing... Whatcha think?)

There are 12 prizes (ranging from signed books to market books to series--and even something to celebrate the opening of Alice in Wonderland), combined into five packages. Yep, there will be five winners. FIVE!

The packages are broken out below, but here's a glimpse of what's included. I like to think there's a little something for everyone ;-)
