Sunday Scrapbook page (siggy winners)

Here ate the siggies I made for Shanilie and Mimi... the winners of my latest give-away

And the winner is...

Hey didn't I post this yesterday... oh wait I did, but that was tooth 3....

Colby's 4th tooth broke through the gum today. So the winner to the give-away is... Mimi at He & Me + 3

Told you the 4th tooth was close to breaking through.

And the winner is...

Just because I haven't had enough posts already today... here's one more!

Colby's 3rd tooth broke through the gum today. So the winner to the give-away is... Shanilie at Shanilie's Moments

Oh and #4 is very close too... so if it arrives at a date that was picked by someone else... that person will win one too!

Give-Away

Well more people want to have a signature give-away soooo here it is (oh and just so you know it's a lot easier for me to make signatures than toppers so, works for me!)

Here's your challenge:

When will Colby's next tooth break through the gums? Pick a date that you think we will see tooth #3 in my little guys mouth. The person who guesses closest will win a signature. Be sure to check what everyone else has guessed. (oh and just to let you know... it is already bothering him)

You have until Wednesday to get your guess in!

Sunday Scrapbook page

Here is the signature for my latest winner... Erin!

wow!

When I shut down last night I needed 40 more hits to get to 10,000... and when I checked this morning I was at 10, 010. Thank you all for visiting my blog and joining me on my journey through Mommyhood!

No one sent me information on being the 10,000th visitor... somehow I figured that would happen.
But, Erin (who has a private blog) took a picture
That was pretty close in my book. I am going to make her a siggy. If the 10,000th visitor had let me know, I was going to make them a siggy and a scrapbook page. I had planned to make siggies for anyone who took a picture, so Erin... you are the winner!

on to 20,000.... lol!

give-away

I mentioned this yesterday, but wanted to let you know again....

I'm getting close to 10,000 hits on my blog... I am planning another give-away at that time. If you are the person who is the 10,000th on my blog and you get a pic to prove it (if you are close and choose to take a pic, maybe... just maybe you can win too!), I'll make you a signature and a special added bonus that I'll announce later (already have one of my siggy's... we will wheel and deal with what you get).

I'll let you know who wins as soon as I do (just remember I won't be around this weekend... but there will be posts up to read so click away)

Here are the three I made for Renee at When 2 became 3 or 4

Sunday Scrapbook page (winners siggies)

I began making the prizes for my winners... I made each person 3 signatures to pick from. I still have to make Melissa's topper and hear back from Renee and Mimi to coordinate making their prizes (yes I'll share them when I make them too!)

Drum Roll please...

The winner of my give-away are... all who participated!

I decided to give away to blog topper packages (blog topper, siggy, and other things depending on the meeting of the mind between myself and the winners). I had two people participate who know me in person (beyond bloggyland) and I felt they had an unfair advantage soooo. The other 3 people will get signatures for put at the bottom of your posts made by me.

Melissa at Working Mommy of Two (a friend of mine since college) got 21 points. (winner of a blog topper)
Jane at Addison Kate (a friend of Richard's since High School) got 17.5 points (winner of a siggy)

Mimi at He & Me + 3 got 14 points (winner of a blog topper)
Kelly at Who Me got 8 points (winner of siggy)
Renee At Stam House got 6 points (winner of a siggy)

Those who won... please drop me an e-mail at lori(dot)mommyto2(at)gmail(dot)com and we will corrdinate the creation of your prize

Thank you very much to everyone who participated in my Blogoversary give-away! Maybe I'll do it again later... I think the prize was something that people would like, but the timing and maybe the amount/ difficulty of the questions hampered others from participating. Oh well!

give-away

I posted about my first give-away yesterday. I hope you check it out and decide to play along. Remember you don't have to answer all the questions. It is the person who gets the most right who will win... I don't expect everyone to get them all correct (I don't want to have to make blog toppers for everyone!). Just answer the questions you know the answers to and see how you do. I will work with the winner on making a topper that matches the needs of your own blog. I put up a poll about my give-away too. Check it out!

Thanks for playing along
