X Marks the Spot!

It's a treasure hunt!

My blog isn't a year old yet and I already have FAR more followers than I ever thought would be interested in reading what I have to say here ;-) I have learned so much from "meeting" all of you, and though blogging is a super time-suck I enjoy every minute of it! And I hit a nice number today - 333 (thanks, Manzanita!).

To say THANK YOU to all my followers I'm giving away a $10 Amazon gift card!



Just think of all the $0.99 e-books you could buy with that! (For those of you who don't do math, it's TEN plus a bit of change...;-)). To make it fun I decided to have a little treasure hunt, and since we just had Easter, it's golden Easter eggs you'll be hunting for. Here's what you gotta do:

  • Be a follower of this blog (duh, this whole thing is to say thanks to FOLLOWERS!)
  • Visit the other pages on this blog (About Me, Book Reviews etc) as well as the sidebar and count all the golden Easter eggs you see.
  • For an additional entry tell me where you found the X-marked Easter egg.
  • You don't have to tweet or facebook this if you don't feel like it, but if you do I'd greatly appreciate it :-) (I even wrote out this lovely 84 character message to make it easy for you to copy and paste ;) Count the Easter eggs and you could win a $10 Amazon gift card! http://bit.ly/kykxAV )
  • You have until the end of next Thursday, the 5th of May. I'll randomly draw a winner on Friday 6th May.

THIS TREASURE HUNT IS NOW OVER.

Congrats on all the followers. Well-deserved!

Super idea to celebrate, Rachel! Once April is over...I'm swamped now.

Did you see the shout-out I gave you?

Congrats on the followers - 333 is a pretty cool number (incidentally, if you follow numerology at all, 3 is actually the number of creativity! How cool is that?)

I hereby give you permission to continue posting randomness! Lol...

Count me in - I am off to count eggs! :-)

What a fantastic idea.

I will do this as soon as I get back home to a proper computer.

If I post this message I will get all the other message replies to remind me about this contest. Lol

Love the blog by the way, looking really good.

just got home and counted the golden eggs. My eyes still have not quite adjusted to all the gold...lol

I have been staring at the relative merits of 'white' today as i hunted for a shirt for the boys to wear to the wedding. lazy sods made me get them.

anyway,
Great and novel competition.

Have a great evening,

Sarah
