Welcome to My Giveaway-A-Day Countdown to My 25th Birthday Bash!

*Contest is closed*

I’d been thinking about this for awhile, the whole what am I going to do for my birthday thing. Finally I asked you all before my 113 Follower Giveaway what you all wanted me to do and most seemed to be thinking along the same lines as me. So, I kept that a bit smaller, so that I would be able to do something better for this! I just had no idea that so many authors, jewelry makers, and fellow bloggers would be so willing to help! I <3 you all!

So are you wondering about the ridiculously long name for this thing? I like making things complicated and hard for Beth to fit on a button! No really, I don’t pick my names for things they are what they are and then I’m stuck w/ something crazy long. But it is for my 25th birthday, and there will be a giveaway everyday from now until then, so what else was I supposed to call it?

Enough rambling and on to the not so fun but important part, the main rules NRSVampChick style.

  1. Have fun! It’s a celebration! I’m a quarter of a century old, so lets at least make this an enjoyable experience! Besides, stuff is being given away!
  2. Opinions stated in guest posts and interviews by others are not mine, obviously, so if you have a problem with them, well don’t read the post or ignore it. That’s what I do. It’s not that hard. :)
  3. You must be a follower to enter. It just makes things easier, including tracking you down if you win.
  4. Must be at least 13 to enter all contests, and at least 18 to enter several of them. For the 18 ones, they will be marked, and it’ll be pretty dang obvious on one of them lol.
  5. If it says that you have to ask a question or comment along with filling out the form, I really mean it. If you don’t do it, you won’t be entered. Ok? Good, because chances are, you’ll have to do that. :D
  6. Each contest will say whether it is for US only, US & Canada only, or International. Sorry it isn’t always up to me.
  7. All contests will run until May 31st 11:59 CDT. Winners will be chosen by random.org and announced June 4th.
  8. I reserve the right to throw in extra prizes for whatever reason at any time. It’s my party remember. (These extra prizes may be done a little differently.)
  9. Since I’m sure I’ve forgotten something that will need addressing, I reserve the right to add on to these rules if needed. Did I mention it’s my party? he he

Now, assuming that you didn’t quit reading the post when you saw that rules were being given, it’s time for the fun part! A giveaway!

Today’s Giveaway is Swagtastic! I have tons of bookmarks, and may have requested a few extra things lately getting ready for this.  Not all of it is here yet, so there will be more winners and more prizes added to this giveaway!

Happy Birthday!!!

Quick question,

when the form asks if you are twitter/facebook follower & asks for a link, what do you mean?

I've just been putting in my twitter id & link to my facebook profile, but that feels wrong/
