ENTER TODAY!!

All you need to do is subscribe to the blog through the method of your choice, and start commenting. For EVERY SUBSCRIBER, I am personally donating $2 USD towards breast cancer research, and all proof of monies donated will be posted on this blog. Check here for full contest rules and details.

And here is something I can not stress enough!!

Once you have subscribed, you must leave a comment in any of the blog contest update posts, such as this one. Once you have subscribed, leave your first comment HERE or look in the Charity category for an update post to comment on. This will count as your first comment and as your official entry. You MUST comment to one of these posts to enter, as I have many commenters on this blog but not all are participating. By leaving a comment on one of these posts, I am able to organize who is, and who isn’t participating in the contest. I am also able to take note of how many subscribers I will use to calculate my final donation to Breast Cancer Research. If you subscribe and start commenting, but do not leave a comment in a contest post, I will not know that you are entered in the contest.

Again, entries are slow, so it is NEVER too late to sign up!!!! Our subscriptions are climbing every day, this is EXCITING news for our donation tabs!!

At this point, ALL of our prizes have been officially snagged! Thanks to all of our fabulous readers!! But it’s not too late to enter the contest and scoop them from one of our current entrants!

IMPORTANT NOTE ON CONTEST DEADLINE:

Because response to the contest is slow, I am doing some promoting to get more people involved. To put it bluntly, I want to raise more money for breast cancer, and if I can do so by extending the contest deadline, then I am going to. The contest deadline has thus been officially extended to January 1, 2008. At midnight on New Years Eve the contest will close. Because this is a holiday, I may not be available IMMEDIATELY to officially announce the winner, but you will know who you are by the top commenters menu. As soon as I am able to, I will post an official announcement on the blog and get the details from all of our winners.

Contest Stats:

This post was prepared in advance as I have gone away for the weekend and set the posts up ahead of time. These are the stats as of last Friday, but I will update next week when I return with better stats. For real time counters on how many comments you have added, check out the sidebar.

Lesha really wants that polo shirt as well and has been working her butt off with 67 coments. And many congratulations to Jeans and Tee who is also working hard for that polo-shirt with a running total of 51 comments!

I can’t keep up with you girls, you are all AMAZING!! I do my best to respond to every comment, and I am committed to that so don’t think I’ve forgotten you. But you’ve all done so well in my absence, it is going to take some time so bear with me.

To date, we have raised $30.00 for Breast Cancer Research. Between personal donations and subscribers, we are doing better every week, and every dollar counts. But this is not enough!!! Readers, we NEED your help! Subscribe today, it won’t cost you a penny and by just subscribing you are ensuring $2 go towards Breast Cancer Research. Join TODAY!!!!
