Dyson Pink Giveaway

I didn't win the last Dyson so I am sure that I will win this time! This one is pink in support of breast cancer awareness. Dyson is donating the total cost of this vacuum, plus $40 for all others sold to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. How cool is that? If you want in on the contest, head over to 5 Minutes for Mom and join!
