If your name is above and you haven’t heard from me yet it’s only because the person in front of you hasn’t picked their prize yet

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)
My Prize Picks
I’ve cruised through the official prize list and here are my top 3:
- USC 16 – $50 gift certificate to Kristen of Kristen’s Custom Creations
- USC 7 – One Monogrammed Zip Tote> by Celebrated Designs
- INT 27 – Lifetime Membership to Mom Masterminds by Mom Masterminds
If those are already chosen I would enjoy any of these:
5, 113, INT 3 or any advertising opportunity or Target gift card. Since I design graphics I don’t need any graphic/blog designs

The blog party was so fun and the best part came in the email to got today from Darla of Beauty Inside and Out. I won the $15 gift certificate drawing she had and I got to choose from the products at her eBay store. I chose the Mary Kay Conditioning Eye Makeup Remover and I can’t wait to get it and try it out! I don’t wear a lot of makeup but when I do it’s always 80% eye makeup and 99% of the time I forget to take it off so maybe this will help me remember to remove it. Thanks again Darla!!

After a week long celebration at the Ultimate Blog Party over at 5 Minutes For Mom I’ve had so much fun reading new blogs and getting to know some of you! For my prize drawing I let my son Bo choose the name from the list and he picked Brines! Deborah I’ve sent an email to you at the address you provided. Congratulations! As soon as Deborah’s set is complete I’ll post pictures. Thanks so much to the rest of you for visiting and commenting on my blog. I hope you all will come again.

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!
