Hi, Hello, How are you?
I am a work-at-home mom. I have two sons who are 3 years and 7 months. Hubby and I have been married for 6 years. We live on a small farm in GA where we have horses, chickens, dogs and a cat. My business is Sara*s Pixel Studio where I design websites, graphics and print materials. I have another blog where I rant and rave on personal matters called The Captive Mommy.
I’ve had reports that some are unable to leave comments…I have no clue what’s going on 
I’ve tested it in both IE and Firefox and I’ve had other comments today. If you can’t comment here just hop over to The Captive Mommy and comment there. Sorry for the problems.
Blogs I’ve Visited So Far (this will be updated as I read throughout the week)

- USC 16 – $50 gift certificate to Kristen of Kristen’s Custom Creations

Well after much thought I have decided to go crazy this year with the UBP (Ultimate Blog Party 2009 hosted by 5 Minutes For Mom) and give away LOTS, and I do mean LOTS of prizes! I decided against giving hints and just come out with it so you will highly anticipate the blog party Here’s a list of what I’ll be giving away:

That is one prize for every day of the UBP! BTW I might come up with more between now and then 
So how can you win one of these prizes? The custom blog prize is part of the UBP Prize List so you will need to visit the Ultimate Blog Party 2009 Prize List and read how to be entered to win (prize number is INTL 36). The other prizes will be given away by me and to have a chance to win just leave a comment on my official UBP 2009 post.

5 Minutes for Mom has announced that The Ultimate Blog Party 2009 will be March 20th – 27th. I joined in the fun last year and gave away some great prizes and I hope to do the same this year! I also won a prize from another mom-blogger! Click here to see the posts from last year.
So what is a Blog Party? Simply put it is a party where mom-bloggers from all over the world blog, visit/comment on other’s blogs and win stuff! Its pretty fun and easy to participate. If you don’t have a blog you can just wait until the party begins and surf through all the blogs listed in the Mr. Linky. If you do own a blog and plan to participate you need to plan what you are going to blog about during the week. You can also choose to give a prize by drawing a name from your commenters (people who comment on your blog posts). You’ll need to keep a watch on the 5 Minutes for Mom site for when they post the Mr. Linky. When they do sign up and enter in the link to your blog. Be sure that the link you give will actually show your UBP posts – not another page. Then when party time arrives just blog away! Be sure to surf other blogs, make comments (leaving the link your blog) and hopefully win a prize, increase traffic to your blog and make some friends!
Do you want a hint as to what I will be giving away? Hint #1: “Blog”
So be sure to check back here during that week for some fun games and prizes!
I was saving this giveaway until tomorrow because we were supposed to find out what the new baby is going to be, but because a recent outbreak of pink eye at my house I had to reschedule my OB/GYN appointment until next week. Since this giveaway is for those other expectant/new moms out there in blogger land I wanted to do it with my announcement, but I’ll go ahead and do it today.
Prize: Two-color breastfeeding bracelet
To win: sign a comment to this post and leave your name, how you found my blog, how far along you are or how old your infant is, boy or girl and your child’s name (or what it will be)
I will draw a winner March 15th after the blog party is over.
Be sure to visit my original post (right below this one) and sign up to win a custom designed bracelet/earring set! Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a great afternoon!
Welcome 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!
