You're All Invited

This blogging stuff I stumbled upon a little over 2 years ago has been so much fun to me. It has been a blessing to meet so many great people like you. You have encouraged me, laughed with me and brightened so many days.

I have also, to my great surprise, won several things: a Latin curriculum, some math instruction dvds, some calling cards, and a vacuum cleaner. And now I want to say thanks to you for coming here everyday, or once a week, and reading and sometimes even commenting! Because those comments make me very happy.

I'm going to be turning thirty-something on March 10, but I am going to celebrate the whole week before. March 3-7 I will be having a birthday party for myself right here on the blog. For a Whole Week! That's right. First, I talk about myself every day on this blog and now I'm throwing myself a party. It really is all about me.

But, the neat thing is, I'm giving all the gifts to you. March 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7th I'll be hosting giveaways and all you have to do is show up. I've got 5 days worth of great, well sort of great prizes just for you. (Not Pioneer Woman great, but first-week-long-giveaways-on-a-lowly-blog great.)

All winners will be announced March 10.

What's a party without people? I hope you'll tell your friends and post this button on your blog. Help me spread the word.

If you would like to use this button just right click on the photo and save it. Then upload it to the photo hosting service of your choice and put it on your blog. Either on your sidebar or in a post would be great. For more help on doing that go here or email me.

I think I've been reading your blog for almost that whole time.

(bring your own gifts)

This is WAY cooler.

What fun! We always celebrate our birthdays the whole week long. Why not. You wait all year, so who wants it over in a day... I hope you have a great time celebrating your birthday. I'm sorry I'm not in the same country as you... I would love to see your gift-giving flare. Do we get to hear about who gets what? Naomi

Amy said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (a little early) I'll be sure to add your button to the giveaways section of my sidebar, and I'll also publish a post a little closer to that week. I hope you have a blessed birthday and a blessed year.

You've earned the right, in my books, to have your own week-long party! Party on!! Fun for all and all for fun! We'd all love to hear more about you! AND GIFTS?? WOW!

Megan said...

Pretty fun. But are you going to come out and tell us thirty-what?

Marsha said...

Oh dear, you have the BEST ideas! They are always so good I am tempted to swipe them... perhaps when my birthday rolls around in April.

HAPPY early BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! Your blog really is a bright spot in my day! :-)

Yeah, a party. Count me in, but do I have to advertise? I'd like to keep the winning pool small! JK.
