Monday, Monday: Announcing a Giveaway

May 2, 2011 By: Patricia

Not only that, but it’s May.

The A to Z April Blog Challenge is over. Thanks to Arlee Bird at tossing it out for all his hard work and for setting up such a great team of sponsoring bloggers.

Thanks to Elizabeth Mueller who designed this cool award and presented it to the bloggers who participated in the challenge. Thanks, Elizabeth:

I still have a long way to go to visit all the blogs that participated in the challenge, but I’m going to spend a lot of time over the next couple of weeks doing just that.

In the process, I hope to reach 300 followers. Toward that end, I invite everyone who visits here this week and next (by midnight Mountain Time on Saturday, May 14th) to become a follower if you have not already done so. And feel free to spread the word on your blog, Twitter, or whatever.

Be sure to leave a comment and a way to contact you (in your profile or in the comment), whether you follow the blog or not. If I reach 300 followers by the deadline, I’ll give away one $25.00 gift certificate from amazon.com.

I’ll be selecting the winner from comments left between now and the 14th. Remember, it’s not the “follow” that enters you in the drawing, it’s the comment you leave. I’ll count one comment per person each day as a separate entry.

    Up until this past weekend I was doing good going for 30 blogs a day until I reached the end of the master list. But the past three days I dropped all the way down from 30 to 0. I really need to get back on top of things here.

    hey Patricia! Nothing like keeping the love coming! It was a fun party and I particularly liked spending time with some of my old buds on line…

    Good morning, everyone! I’m looking forward to giving away that amazon card, so the more you spread the word and the more days you visit, the better your chances. I need 300 followers before I even have a drawing, and you need to comment to earn an entry.

  27. ham1299 says

    May 2, 2011 at 7:46 am

    I enjoyed the challenge, too. And I’m already a follower. I hope you get to 300 (and not just because I want a gift card! LOL)!
