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…
Pick Mii Out and Wii-n Giveaway:
- To enter for a chance to win a Wii, just pick mii out.
- Guess the letter above that corresponds to the Mii character you think I use and leave your choice in your comments section below. Choose only one.
- Make sure to leave a way for me to contact you (by blog or email) if you win.
- Deadline to enter is Saturday, January 24, 2009 at midnight.
- Winner will be announced sometime Sunday, January 25th.
Note: The winner will be chosen at random using the random.org integer generator. To win, you must pick Mii out correctly. If the winning comment does not pick Mii out correctly, I’ll choose another comment at random until one does.
Have fun and good luck!

Thumbs up again!!!
How do I do these faces on cupcakes? They look Bafulous… I am sure they taste even better.
How do I use fondant on these? Please give me some of your expert tips?
Also when I whip buttercreme up, I use Wilton gel for the coloring but I never get the bright colors that I see even after adding lots of it color. Do I have to add another color before I get it right? Please help.
Many Thanks

Carrie
cmacias@verizon.net
I think H is your Mii! :)
I’m going with D. She looks ‘sassy’. Not that you are sassy, well maybe you are-I don’t know. But I would want to be D if I had a Wii.
And oh my gosh, those cupcakes are unbelievable!
Definately D… perky like you! And you are far too generous, we thank you.
I think the Mii that you use is letter D. (my favorite is A though)
Those are all so cute cupcakes, you’re very talented! Thank you for the very generous and fun giveaway!
I have to go with “E” It’s the prettiest out of them all I think.
Nice cupcakes too! *drools*
Super cute!
I’m gonna go with with C – just cuz C looks like mii.
C! Love the cupcakes.

I’m guessing H.
I think I’m right, I hope I’m right.
Thank you for this opportunity, I’m so excited!

It has got to be ‘G’!
Go Mii!
G… Yes Wii can!!
oakleandro@yahoo.com
I think you are G!
ray31122(at)yahoo(dot)com
I’m a nerdy engineer. Here’s why: I actually made an excel spreadsheet to see how many of your commenters voted for each Mii. In case you’re curious, here’s the breakdown (after 829 commenters – there’s no way I’m waiting until Saturday to do this):
A – 15
B – 60
C – 400
D – 124
E – 8
F – 7
G – 89
H – 126
I’ll go with popular opinion and say C, but I have to admit that I’ll probably give the Wii to charity if I win – I love being active, and video games are just another reason to stay in the house.
I pick C
fairydust825@hotmail.com
