Sara*s Pixel Studio Blog

Throughout the blog party I had 91 different comments (on both blogs) and/or new mailing list subscribers! Using Random.org numbers were randomly given to each email address and the top 7 (the winners) are:

1. Heather @ justdoingmybest-heather.blogspot.com
2. JamericanSpice @ jamericanspice.blogspot.com
3. Mocha Dad @ mochadad.com
4. Susan @ happycamperdisaster.com
5. Stephanie @ andtwinsmake5.blogspot.com
6. Jennifer @ livhealthy.tv
7. Candice @ superfunmama.blogspot.com

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 If I am unable to get in touch with someone who has won before Wednesday April 1 I will continue down the list of random winners. This is the same list as posted at The Captive Mommy because I combined prize lists for both blogs for the party.

Well I sincerely hoped none of you had your heart set on winning that Avon Peach Bubble Bath. Hubby decided to use about 3 oz of it the other evening to give Bo a bath — there were bubbles up to his ears. Lots of ways to look at this: He was giving the kid a bath — not many fathers (that I know) give their kids baths, particularly if the mom is a SAHM. He honestly didn’t know that bottle was being saved for this blog party — try explaining a blog party (and giving prizes away) to your hubby then you’ll know why I didn’t even bother to tell him about it. Besides it was pretty heavy and therefore it would have been expensive to mail (yes I’m a cheapskate — I picked it up from hubby). Anyway so I’ll be finding a new prize to add to the list before the week is out to replace that one.

Also remember the sale going on through the end of the blog party:
- All ready-made mouse drawn graphics and background sets are only $3! This includes my wide selection of M2MG (made to match Gymboree) graphics and backgrounds.
- All pre-made website templates ($35 and up) are marked down $15! So you can get a website template (including installation) for as little as $20! Click here.

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)
