Contest! Oh, and I am in Love...

...with my new blog design that is!  So in love actually that I have decided to spread some of it to a fellow blogging buddy.  One of my followers (old faithful or brand new) will have the chance to win the exact same package I got from Jenna at Bloggy Blog Designz.  Spectacular...is how I would describe my experience with them. Amazing...the job they did.  Jenna is super fast, super patient, and super competent!  This design far exceeded my expectations.  It is everything I knew I wanted and everything I had no idea I wanted all rolled into one. 

So, as for my contest (not giveaway, and I will explain the distinction).  Because I like her so much, and I want to spread my holiday good cheer, I will be paying for half of the package that I got (you will get everything you see on my blog...in your own design of course).  Jenna graciously agreed to give the other half away for free.  This is all about spreading the love, so only my followers will have their chance at this one (applies to new and old).

Rules are:
1. You must do a blog post about the contest with a link back to my blog and Bloggy Blog Designz (you should comment to let me know you have done that).
2. You have to refer others this way! (explained below)
3. The person with the most referrals by the contest end date, will win!  That simple.

Now, what qualifies as a referral?  Simply having people come over and comment on this post.  Be sure that they USE YOUR NAME (or I won't know who sent them and where to count it). If they decide to follow it will count as two referrals for you.  New followers will have the chance to win too by following these same rules.  That is why this is a contest, and not just a giveaway...there is an actual tangible way to win, rather than just a random draw.  So hurry up and get started.  The contest will begin now and end January 1st.

Maybe, just maybe I will throw in a runner up prize just to be a little cheeky.  Have fun and good luck.

I am following you, you silly girl, not because of some contest, but because I like you! (I always forget to follow people and it takes reminders like this to prompt me to do it!)

Go luck with your give-away! I love your new blog design:)
