The 08 Ultimate Blog Party

09 Mar 2008

9 Mar, 2008  blog party, fun, prizes

Ultimate Blog Party 2008Welcome fellow bloggers!!! I was so excited to find out about this blog promo and I had immediately had tons of fun ideas for my party post, so lets get started!

First, a little about me. I am a stay-at-home Mom for my 2 year old son, Bo. DH is a firefighter/EMT and we have been married for a little over five years. We make our home in GA. We are also expecting our second child (we find out boy/girl Tuesday :) and he/she is due in August.

Now a little about my blog. I shamefully use this blog for business and personal announcements and fun. There is one simple reason for this - I’m too lazy to separate them. I’ve considered it many times, but the thought of loosing my readers can’t be tolerated and I barely have time to blog here!

Next, my businesses. I own two e-stores: Sara*s Jewels Boutique and Sara*s Pixel Studio. @ Sara*s Jewels you will find custom name jewelry, sibling sets, and much more! The Pixel Studio is devoted to custom created graphics, auction templates, logos, me pages, WAHMshoppes/webdesign, and my new line of printed business products (business cards, hang tags, bow cards and more!). Both businesses pretty much get equal attention here at the blog just as they do in real life because I can’t seem to give up either one. Just when I consider closing the jewelry store I get a great idea for a new design or an influx of customers and the same happens with the graphics. So I guess for now I’m “stuck” but in the best since. I love what I do and that’s what keeps me going.

Now for the FUN!! Since I’m a little late in posting for the blog party I’ve decided to have a special give-a-way. I really want to get to know some of my readers and make some new friends online so I’m going to have a special drawing. Everyone who posts a comment on this post will be entered to win a special one-of-a-kind bracelet (mom size of course) AND a matching pair of earrings that YOU design! Now there are conditions to this of course - you must put these things in your comment:
-Your name
-Your email address
-How you found my blog

So for everyone who comments and leaves that info for me will be entered to win the custom designed bracelet! I will hold the drawing on March 15th after the blog party is over. For anyone who might be interested I am also holding a drawing on March 17th for a $10 gift certificate to one of my websites (winner’s choice). To be entered in that drawing just sign up for my mailing list before March 16th (left side bar).

Please visit again as I will post something new everyday through the end of the blog party (more prizes and fun!). See you again soon!
