100 Sour Brite-Crawler Jelly Beans
I can't believe this is my 100th post, already!
I've been racking my brain, trying to think of what to do to celebrate. I knew it would involve a give away...free stuff just seems to go along with a celebration...and I haven't done a give away since my military mom post...and that's just TOO long!
The only thing that kept coming to mind was the 100th day of school celebrations that my kids had back when they were attending public school. They would have to bring in 100 of something, and it was always fun to see what we could come up with. I decided I'd combine this with a challenge...
I'm going to post pictures of 100 each of several items. Here's the contest part...one of the groups of items will NOT really have 100. If you can find which group it is, leave the answer in the comments, including how many are REALLY in the picture. I will send the first person to comment (with the correct answers), 100 pieces of Japanese candy! Don't forget to click on the pictures to enlarge...it will make things much easier! (There is also a second chance drawing...details at the end of this post.)
We have really loved trying different kinds of candy here and finding our favorites. Now is your chance to try some, too! This contest is open to anyone living outside of Japan (sorry, Julia...it just wouldn't be fair because we can get all that we want anytime!).
Since our main shipment of household goods has not arrived (only our express shipment), this is kind of a challenge...but I am going to see how many things we can find in quantities of 100. Here goes!
100 Linking Cubes
100 Grains of Rice
100 Plastic Shapes
100 Honey-Nut Cheerios
100 Japanese Coins
100 Purple Chocolate Covered Sunflower Seeds
100 Pieces of Kitty Kibble
100 Crayons
100 Purple and White Math Tiles
Good Luck! And just because giving stuff away is so much fun...the next 10 people that comment (not the next 10 comments...does that make sense?) will be placed in a random drawing to receive 3 pkgs of my favorite Japanese candy (so far!) I hope you win!

You have TOO much time on your hands. But give me a minute or two to start counting. I better at least win from the drawing.
Chat soon,

YOU SO ROCK!! And I LOVE Japanese candy - sign me up, baby! Oh, and happy 100. You make me smile. :)
Ooh ooh! It's the kitty kibble!! I think, anyway --- *heads for a recount*
Am I terrible at instructions, or what?? There are 101 in the Kitty Kibble picture...and you don't even know the lengths I went to in order to count. Lol. Photoshop, marking each with a dot. :)
Amy is the winner! Good Job! Comments are still open for the drawing. All you have to do is leave a comment and you are in!
Congrats!
Carrie you are so creative. Fun work to put together 100 of each. I would've been the winner but somehow I just didn't have the time on this busy Monday morning to count them all but I was sure tempted. Then I was going to leave a comment and saw that other's had made their comments and it was too late. Congrats to Amy-she deserves it with the whole photoshop thing. That is dedicated!!! I still like Japanese candy though...and Japanese rice crackers, and sushi, and furikake and and and...
Truth be told, my kids helped me think of the things, and lay them out...and they even took some of the pictures. (I of course had to double check the quantities, though...we are talking about a lot of candy at stake, here!)
Thanks for playing along with my corny idea...I'm excited for the drawing!
aw man, i wasn't allowed to go cross eyed trying to count all that? Guess i'll just meander to the store and buy my own candy! LOL! Too fun Carrie!!!
Dagumit. (Southern not so bad swear word) I didn't get here in time. I guess I need to check your page more often. Great job!
Looks like a beautiful weekend coming up! Let us know if you guys want to go anywhere. Don't think we will be diving unless the oceans can still themselves! Ha! No basketball games so our day is free, just let me know!
You're keeping us hanging. Do we get the candy or not?
TTFN,
Lisa
