Join Mom Gen's Birthday Bash Contest!

Winning something for free is quite fun. The first time I started joining contest and giveaways was with Mom Gen . I won the consolation prize and it inspires me to join other contests/giveaways that will come on my way...hmmmm...maybe I'll create another blog featuring contests/giveaways and joining them for fun...*chuckling*...just maybe.

Mom Gen, who was lately dubbed as the Contest Queen is holding another contest- the CHRIS BIRTHDAY BASH Contest! Her son is turning 3 this year and it's her desire to share their celebration with us by having this contest. Mom Gen's generosity will surely bless us all and makes us smile once we'll win her fabulous prizes.

I'm so busy this week that I wasn't able to join the contest on its opening day last March 24. But still I have time to join for this will end on April 10. I'm getting excited right now on just imagining my website's name as one of the winners on April 14.

Blog Make-Over is what I need today!

As a newbie in blogosphere, I tried my best to make my blogsite presentable to attract visitors-bloggers and readers alike. I believe on the adage "First impression is lasting". Blog layout is one of the factors of increasing traffic in my blog site. I desired that my visitors will keep on coming back on my site. As I started bloghopping and visiting other blogs, I discovered how awesome were their templates-personalized header design, template that suits their theme and blog badges that shows their personal style. I felt intimidated knowing that my blog "look" is inferior. I am like Cinderella living in unfortunate circumstances in cyberspace until....suddenly my world will soon change to remarkable fortune when I visited Mariuca. She posted about a FREE BLOG MAKEOVER GIVEAWAY of Lady Java! I exclaimed "This is it! This is what I need- a blog make-over". I look into the details of this contest. Lady Java is hosting this give-away for this month in celebration of her 40th birthday. It's a blessed year where some says the age where life begins. I also read that according to the Bible, it is the number of waiting, the preparation and the test of life.

Anyway, the winner will be chosen based on his or her blog entry . It's a great honor to have the birthday celebrant herself do the Free Blog Makeover! I am hoping and praying that like the character "Cinderella", whose attributes are unrecognised and unexpectedly achieves recognition or success after period of obscurity when the "fairy Godmother"Lady Java raises up her "magic wand" and do wonders on my blog-a new header design that suits my personality and blogs theme, cosmetic changes to current layout like rounded corners, new colors and anything else that needs a style from her,sprucing up footer elements and much, much more that will make my blog AWESOME!

If you want to join this Blog Makeover Giveaway, Lady Java makes the rule sweat-free:

1. Tell her, her birthdate
2. Answer this: How many years have I been married?
3. Put that information in a blog entry and also tell her why do you want and deserve this blog makeover.
4. Link to her entry in your blog entry and leave her the url of your post.

This contest will close on 25th March. What's the significance of this date? It's her 9th year Wedding Anniversary! I want to extend to you in advance, Lady Java , my warmest congratulations on your wedding anniversary. May you enjoy married life with God's favor and abundance. The winner would be notified on April 1. This contest is only open for bloggers hosted by Blogger dot com.

I'm hoping and praying that I'll be the blessed winner!

I joined a Birthday Giveaway!
