Celebrate my #BlogAversary! – Day 1

blog_header

August 11 will be the one-year anniversary of me launching my blog. I had no idea how difficult, time-consuming, and ultimately rewarding it would be. Since I’m very proud of making it a year (even if some months I didn’t write very much {ahem}), I asked the people who answered The Questions if they would willing to donate a copy of their book(s) or some art for a dSavannah Rambles anniversary contest.

I am honored and grateful (and thankful!) (and glad!) that so many of them said YES! Aren’t these GREAT prizes? (Note: click the link on their name to read their answers to The Questions. Or, if it’s an item I made, click the link to learn more about it.)

To enter the contest today, scroll below the list of prizes and use the rafflecopter widget. And come back tomorrow for more chances to win!

Contest Rules:

A rafflecopter widget will be posted each day of the contest (8/6 through 8/12) on my blog (seven total), and each widget (except the first one) will have five trivia questions. Each correct answer (some multiple choice, some fill-in-the-blank) will result in one entry into the contest. (Incorrect answers will be ignored, and possibly made fun of.) All answers can be found in various posts and pages on my blog.

Sharing and liking on social media will result in one entry per activity. You may share on Facebook and Twitter once per widget/day for additional entries.

Contest ends on Monday, August 12, 2013 at midnight (EST) for ALL seven widgets, regardless of the day they were posted.

Entries for all seven days will be combined, and the 25 winners will be chosen randomly via Rafflecopter. One prize per person. Winners and prize givers will be notified by Wednesday, August 14, 2013, no later than 5pm EST. If you answer the final question on each widget {“Tell me what you have your heart set on winning…”}, that is the prize you will win if at all possible, but no promises.

Prizes will be sent (shipped or emailed) directly from the artist/author; I can’t control their lives or when they might be able to do so. Please don’t yell at me if it takes longer than you think it should. However, I’m happy to ask about it if you haven’t received your prize in a reasonable amount of time.

Odds of winning dependent on the number of entries received.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email ~ bee_art [at] dsavannah [dot] com! And THANKS for celebrating with me! 🙂
