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:

  1. USC 16 – $50 gift certificate to Kristen of Kristen’s Custom Creations
  2. USC 7 – One Monogrammed Zip Tote> by Celebrated Designs
  3. 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 :)

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 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. This blog post will be posted on March 20 at 12:01 am, so bookmark my blog and plan to come back that day or simply visit the UBP 2009 Mr. Linky and find us :)

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!

Quicker than I thought

Well yesterday after annouceing that all my seamless backgrounds are available for instant download, I posted that “over the next few weeks I will be making my mouse drawn graphics available as well”. Okay so it didn’t take me weeks. They are ready now :) I guess that’s my not-so-mild OCD coming out. Once I started I couldn’t stop until all my mouse drawn graphics were fixed and ready to download upon purchase.

Each graphic is available in five different file types.
Available File Types
.gif
(graphics interchange format) – Our GIF files have a transparent
background with white dither blending, meaning they blend seamlessly
with white backgrounds, but have rough edges on other colors. If you
need a special blend color please contact us.
.jpg
(or JPEG – Joint Photographic Experts Group) – JPG files are saved with
a white background and are the highest possible quality available for
JPG files. If you need another background color please contact us.
.png
(portable network graphics) – PNG files are saved with alpha-channel
transparency and opacity and blend seamlessly with all background types
and colors.
.psd (Photoshop compatible) – PSD files can be opened in Adobe Photoshop and/or Paint Shop Pro and have a transparent background.
.PspTube
(Paint Shop Pro tube file) – PSP tubes can only be used in Paint Shop
Pro. These must be saved in your PSP system tube file and will then
appear in your list of picture tubes.

Please contact me if you have any questions :)
