First Blogoversary – HUGE Giveaway – More Than $600 Worth of Cash and Prizes!!!

***UPDATE:  I will be finishing up my Excel sheet of entries this afternoon and contacting the Grand Prize winner via email tonight (3/7/11).  As soon as it’s claimed, I will move down to the next prize on the list. 
I will repeat this process for all 27 prizes so that everyone has a fair shot at any unclaimed prize.  All winners will be selected using http://random.org.
But, as you could probably guess, this may take weeks depending on how fast people respond (each person gets up to 3 calendar days). 
I will post the ultimate results as soon as I have them. 
Thank you everyone for participating!!!***

Guess what?!  As of yesterday, I have been blogging for 1 year!!!  I can’t believe it!  It really doesn’t feel like I’ve been at it for that long, but I guess that is a good thing.  icon wink First Blogoversary   HUGE Giveaway   More Than $600 Worth of Cash and Prizes!!!

    If you are new to BFS, please check out these posts to get to know me a little better:

    The official stuff:

    1) Contest ends March 6th, 2011 at midnight CST. 
    2) Winners will be selected randomly and notified by email of how to claim their prize by March 13th.
    3)  No more than one prize per winner – I will work my way down from the top of the list of prizes so each of you has the best chance possible for the Grand Prize.

    4) Prizes will be held for 3 calendar days.  If they aren’t claimed, new winners will be randomly picked and contacted.
    5) I reserve the right to reject comments that I consider spam or invalid entries.
    6) An invalid or incorrect email address automatically disqualifies you from the drawing…it’s hard to contact a fake email…

    ***You can leave one comment with all of your entries and still be safe - I am making an Excel sheet and every single entry will have its own number.  For example, if you sign up for the RSS Feed, you will have 3 lines on the Excel sheet and 3 different entry numbers.  I will then use a random number generator to pick the winners.  Thanks!

    Thank you for being the best readers and commenters ever!!!
