I’m sure most of you guys have heard of the Nintendo Wii by now. But, before Christmas rolled around, I had never even seen the Wii and had no desire to play one. (Not a big video gamer.) I had heard all about it though. How you can create characters (Miis) to resemble yourself and play games like bowling and golf and tennis… all with a remote. You’ve seen the commercials, with everyone looking silly in front of their TV, punching at invisible objects. (That’s the boxing game, by the way.)
Then, for Christmas, my sister got one, my best friend got one and my aunt won one at her Christmas Party. Everywhere I went, I was surrounded by cartoon versions of my friends and family bowling and playing tennis. All of the sudden, I had to have one. So, a few days and five stores later, I too was the proud owner of a shiny white box of fun.
And it is fun! On New Year’s Eve, we bowled for almost eight hours straight. We couldn’t stop. I’m sure there’s a bunch of you that know exactly what I’m talking about. And for the record, my niece rocks at bowling. She has a high score of 254 and she’s only seven. I’m… well…I’m not seven, but I can’t beat her for the life of me. (She likes to remind me of it, too.)
Anyway, we’ve had such a great time playing this thing, that I wanted to spread the fun. So here’s a little giveaway with a big prize.
The Wii:
Includes the Wii console, Wii remote, Nunchuk controller, disk of sports games and wires and stuff.
Keep reading to see how you could win it.
Here are a bunch of Miis I made on the Wii for this giveaway.
And, here are a bunch of Mii cupcakes.
All you have to do to enter for a chance to win is…

I think you’re ‘G’! I already have a wii, so if I win, I’ll give it to my friend (and fellow cupcake cutie) Rachael. The wii fit IS fun — comes with great balancing games. Thanks!
Oh woww….I’ve been interested in the Wii for months. A friend of mine was to have invited me to her house to try out Wii Fit (her family loves it), but then she had to have major surgery and so our playdate has been postponed. I’m guessing the letter H for your avatar, but they’re all absolutely lovely and amazing!
i have to pick C.
A is my guess.
C please for me…and thank you for always sharing your work…it rocks!
These are adorable cupcakes!!! I’ve always wondered about fondant (which is what the topping looks like it is made from). Does it taste good? Does it come off in a big sheet in your mouth or is it pliable and easy to eat?
Anyhow, it seems like everyone is going with C, but I’m going to guess G.
I say B…Too cute!
