I know I'm beyond fashionably late but I wasn't sure I wanted to participate. I changed my mind for a few reasons:
1) I think it would be neat to see the Carnival reach 1,000 posts
2) I'm curious to know how many of you have hung in till the end and what type of response I'll get. I don't have much content on this site since I'm a newbie but I'd love some feedback.
3) I've had so much fun and have been so impressed with everyone's generosity I want to pay it forward. I wish I could give more, but being on holiday and all...
So, please leave a comment with your blog name or email address so I can get in touch with you. I'd love for you to stick around and get to know me but my feelings won't be hurt if you don't (well maybe a little). US residents only.
Winner chosen through a random number generator. I'll have comments open until midnight Pacific time tomorrow (Saturday 4/25). I know it's short but we have things happening Sunday and I don't want to over commit myself and leave you hanging and the Carnival is almost over anyway. I will email the winner who then has until Tuesday 4/28 to respond.
There's still plenty of fun to be had at the Carnival. Get thyself to entering before time is up!

Better late than never ;-) The only suggestion I have is to get a more colorful background. The white makes it look so plain. Thanks for the giveaway. I'm still hanging around till the very end. I'm one of those people that sits there in the theater to see if there's anything after the credits while everyone else is getting up and leaving.
ReplyDeleteIm a newbie too and have yet to do nada to my page. But I, just like you, is almost always fashionably late...so here here sista.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to enter into your contest
Thank you for doing this giveaway.

Still hanging in there =) I like your blog, though I agree with the first poster, it could use some color. It’s just too white for me, but you could probable leave the white if you made the links and header brighter colors. Less soothing, more vibrant. Just a thought, you can take it or leave it =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for offering this giveaway!
Hey it's never too late! Thanks for the option to win!

Wonderful for you to join. I am new myself
ReplyDeleteI hung on to the end and found your great giveaway! Thanks! I like your blog-you can find some great free templates all over the internet to add a little color and pizazz. Good luck with the bloggy giveaways!

I'm with you, better late than never! I always do better at crunch time. My blog is really new and pretty blah, but feel free to look around and parouse(sp) your blog. Thanks for participating in the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI'm addicted to this carnival! So i'm glad you joined late!
ReplyDeleteI would love to come back and check your blog, thanks for the chance to win!

Thank you for the giveway for the few of hanging on until the very end. :)
ReplyDeletethanks for the giveaway!! i was at toys r us today with the kiddies getting a gift for a bday party tomorrow - how funny!!
ReplyDeleteOh I'd love to win! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeletePhotos always draw me to a certain blog. It helps me to visualize the author and their point of view. Maybe if your header had photos of your children and you? Something like that! :D
Glad you could participate! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind late. =)
ReplyDeletemisshoney_bee(at)hotmail(dot)com
Its not over til the fat lady sings...so welcome to the carnival!
ReplyDeleteI am going a bit blind trying to get to all the bloggers...I too hope it gets to 1000...how cool would that be!

I stay til the bitter end because I'm lame like that! The first time I "played" I entered every single contest and won... nothing! Last time I did it again and swore I would quit if I won nothing. I won one thing... so this time I only entered the things I really wanted to win. But it still takes me all week to weed through all the entries!
ReplyDeleteI like your about me profile. I don't know if you do pics online, but it would be cool to see your family, maybe have one pic of something representative at least. And either more color or a pic/graphic in your header. Space out your wording and make it bigger so it catches your eye! good luck!

Thank you for the wonderful giveaway. Feel free to enter my bloggy giveaways at fashionfling.blogspot.com and thebeautycounter.blogspot.com :)
ReplyDeleteI am ashamed to admit that I stuck it out to the end. At times, I should have been playing bazillionth game of Spiderman Yahtzee with my son instead. Hopefully, I will something out of the deal. I would love to win this end of the game contest.
ReplyDeletewow what else can i say thanks
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the world of blogging. You are off to a good start, just getting yourself out there. I found it helpful to post on different carnivals like Works For Me Wednesday, or some of the other ones. If you visit blogs and comment, the people are likely to come back and visit you and leave a comment on one of your posts.
ReplyDeletePictures are helpful to break up your posts and add some colour, but do realize that I don't necessarily practice what I preach. I am really lazy sometimes when it comes to posting images.
I would love to me be entered in your giveaway.

Congratulations on being brave enough to start your own blog....I haven't reached that milestone yet...but I would love to enter your giveaway!

Great giveaway :) I love carnivals like this to help get to know people.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a newbie, but I don't have anything fun on my blog and I haven't even posted in 5 months, so I can't be much help to you there...
ReplyDeleteBut I would love to win your giveaway:)

Go with some color, white gives me a migraine, and I am sure I am not alone. I would also suggest getting a header with SOMETHING on it, a scenery picture, family pic, something, it is easy to do and the words go right over it.
ReplyDeleteDoing giveaways and submitting them to Prizey.blogspot.com will bring in traffic and possible readers, too.
Thanks for offering the gift card. I just went and read your archives before commenting, and I think I will be back. I am a sahm of 4, one out of the house on his own. Maybe you could figure out how to put some pictures on your blog? Or use a little more color? I'm not sure, I don't even have a blog, but good luck with yours!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win. These giveaways are so fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to promote your blog. You can also join other blogosphere events such as ABC Wednesday, and other such gatherings where you post a photo and write about it for a specific letter or I've seen some that choose a color. 5 Minutes for Mom is another blog that has a Blog Party but it's not like this because no one is required to give anything away.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a good time at the Carnival! I'm sure you'll be waiting for the next one at the end of July like I will be! It's just so much fun!!
Maybe no one else will check the giveaway list since the winners are now being posted. That way I'll have a better chance of winning. :-P
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway!
I am addicted - I am still here checking! thanks for your giveaway!
ReplyDeletevery cool!

Great giveaway! Thanks so much! You can get your blog out there more by finding good blogs that relate to yours and reading them, then promoting yourself.
ReplyDeleteCan I still get in?
ReplyDeleteI kinda like the white background. It makes your blog look organized. And being that I have a touch of the OCD, I like organized.
ReplyDeleteHey! You are a really, really good good writer. Have fun on your "vacation"! I quit work when I had my son but all my friends lost their jobs too---worked in mortgage industry.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it in! :)

I am still here! Barely here.. with crazed racoon like eyes (My internet went down on Tuesay night, I've been doing this at work, and going to a friends house at nights for an hour. I'm either insanely dedicated, or insane!.. Yep... they both work)
ReplyDeleteI now have internet at home again, so I'm up late.. 11:33pm, finishing off the stragglers, whom are still loved!
I'm late, too, so maybe this will be my lucky day!
ReplyDeleteallmycrazycats@aol.com
never too late for a great giveaway..kudos
ReplyDeleteI love the bloggy carnivals and, although it would be nice to win, I feel like the biggest prize is that I get to discover so many fun new blogs that might not have otherwise come to my attention. thanks for doing this!

ReplyDeleteHI! Thanks for stopping by my blog! It was so nice of you to congratulate the winner. I will be back to "visit" you again! ~Carol
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway. I came down with the flu this week and wasn't able to enter very many giveaways. So thanks for being late!
ReplyDeleteI'm a newbie too! I started blogging on Feb 20. I had issues viewing the Mr Linky til I finally went to the main page (duh) and I'm starting @ the bottom to catch those last minute giveaways!! I have a 21 month old son, so this gc would of course get some good use. :) Gonna show you some bloggy love and add you to my reader. :D (I'll be back!!!) :)
ReplyDeleteMy only feedback would be to get a blogger header with some color... maybe a good photo of your family or kids, or YOU! Color is always nice to see. Thanks for the great prize!
ReplyDeleteWhat does this have to do with LOST, and why did you post the link on Shannon's Lost post?
ReplyDeleteI am number 78. Yay. My contest had 78 entries. Sounds lucky to me. Pick me. Pick me!!
ReplyDeleteHey, power to the late entries! :)
ReplyDeleteJust when I thought it was over!!! Thanks for keeping the excitement alive!!! I'm hoping for 1000 giveaways too. :)
ReplyDeleteif it's not too late, count me in :)
