100 FOLLOWERS GIVEAWAY!


****Contest Closed****
Winners to be announces

There are NOT very many times I would throw a party for hitting 3 digits... age, weight... nope not many.

BUT, 100 FOLLOWERS is a big thing!  I feel that what I have to say is important and others want to hear (well read) it.

THANK YOU ALL for following me!


I have been thinking for a few weeks on what to do for the 100 Followers contest.

So, to celebrate I want to give away something.  There are so many of us out here with large Want or Wish List, so large may not be a big enough word for it... ENORMOUS Wish List.  So, I would like to give one lucky follower a $15.00 Amazon gift card toward getting something from this list.

Rules:

1.)  You must be a follower with Google Friend Connect.

2.)  I like things simple.  So, only one entry is needed.  No extra entries, as I just get confused with all that figuring. ;)  But, if you would like to share with others by anyway possible it would be appreciated. :)

3.)  Leave a comment in the comment section.  Anything will do, let me know what you like here, any advice to improve on any aspect here, or even any new ideas for me.  I am always curious of new ideas; they may work, they may not - but I would still like to hear them.

4.)  Please leave an email address so I can contact the winner.

5.)  Giveaway will end May 15, 2010 and winner will be picked May 16, 2010.  You will then have 48 hours to respond for your prize.

EDIT:  Sorry, I didn't mention on whether this was international or not.  But, IF AMAZON delivers to you, you can win the ECard. :)

  12. Add a button like I have on mine where you can tweet, FB, or other social network your stuff!

    Other than that I'd have to say Congrats and if you reach 100 lbs, I'm taking you to the hospital or a burger joint (unless you are 4'10" like my best friend was, then it's acceptable). :)

  23. New follower. : )

    My only thought after looking through your blog is maybe a rating system? 1-5? That kind of thing. But then, I'm "star" partial, so if you don't like that, don't listen to me, lol. Otherwise, I love your blog. I especially love that the coloring/design is "clean" instead of cluttered with too many graphics/extras.

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  30. Hi! First of all, I'd like to congratulate you on reaching 100 followers =)

    I like a lot about your site though I think it is a good idea to put the awards you've received on one separate page so that the page doesn't go too far to the bottom. Just my opinion though but overall, I love your blog and I'm glad that I stumble upon it.

    Congrats again and thanks for the giveaway =)

  33. I love the section on your blog with quotes from books. If you ever change anything about the blog, keep this. I think it's unique and say something about the books that catch your eye.

    Congrats on 100!

  53. Melissa since we follow each other and you were my 100th it is only fitting that you now have 143 and that was because I changed from Anonymous follower to Public GFC Follower, which I though I already was. Thanks for the easy peasy and I will post it on Google Buzz and Tweet shortly...

    After all you do have some things that we all like to read and would like to let more folks know that!!!

  57. Congrats on the milestone! You know I'm one of your frequent visitors here (yet still feel I don't visit enought :-p) I love seeing the books you review, because, for the most part, I haven't heard of many of them before.

    On a side note, as a fellow bookkeeper, I understand the reluctance for adding up those entries when we do it all day...gotta switch off the interal calculator at some point, right? *G*
