in which i have a birthday and a giveaway

The blogger as a child.
p.s. it's my birthday.
And people at Starbucks like me. (I did get this for free, but it was not for the benefit of my blog.) 
(Obvi, it was a gift.)
There's a cupcake in that box! There's a hazelnut latte in that cup!

In other news, I'm having a 100 Followers/ It's my birthday giveaway.

You should enter.

I'm giving away the following goodies:
1. A $25.00 VISA giftcard.
2. An original poem, which will be hadwritten and autographed on pretty paper. It might be about love, about being a writer, or maybe the winner will be able to choose the topic. We shall see. This giveaway is a bit seatofthepantsspice.
3. A frame from my wedding day. In fact, this very frame:
4. A mystery. The fourth goodie will be a surprise until you open the package!
5. The whopper: I will dedicate a karaoke song to you, personally, and put it on my blog, vlogger style.

If you want to enter this smashing contest:

leave a comment.

1 entry if you follow and comment
1 extra entry if you tweet it out!
1 other extra entry if you blog about it
1 final extra entry if you tell me I'm pretty
1 last extra entry if you... tell me I look young.

That's five total entries if you do the whole shee-bang.

Ohh... careful.

Don't post about this on facebook or you will be disqualified.
(Hubs and Mom don't know I blog, dog.)

It's my birthday. You best be telling me how many total entries I should allow you, because I am not doing all the math. I hate math. If you don't total it out you are getting one entry and that is finalspice.

Lastly, this contest ends Sunday, March 7th
at a time tbd. So, enter early and often...

or else.

Happy Birthday!!

You don't just look pretty, you are pretty, and you are DEFINITELY still young.

(I believe that's three entries, but to show my sincerity you may enter me only once, because I would have given you those compliments regardless of entry points!)
Roni Loren said…
Happy Birthday, chica! You look gorgeous and not a day over 21. I never would have guessed you're only a year younger than me. And congrats on the 100 followers. :)

I can't believe no one knows you blog, lol. Where does your hubby think you know all those blogging facebook people from?

I'll also tweet ya. So 4 entries for moi. Thanks for the contest.

Oooh...happy birthday! I agree with Amalia, you are pretty, and you are young. Definitely!

I'm down with one entry instead of three, as well. But I may mention your contest. And so if I do, I'll let you know.

Hmmm...glad I didn't post the link to my little Birthday Celebration in Your Honor on your wall this morning, then.
Jeney Peney said…
Happy Happy Birthday!(That's one)

You, my dear, are GORGEOUS! And you are the ever-flowing fountain of youth! (That's three.)

And I just tweeted about the giveaway! (That's four.)

I also tweeted you the Happy Birthday Song earlier... I should get an extra entry for that :-P (Should be five!)

You total rockspice, girl!
Just Another Sarah said…
I mentioned you on my blog...so two, then. :)
My family doesn't know that I blog either! Because if they know, I couldn't write about them without hurting feelings. And wow, I'm pretty good at hurting feelings when I'm working stuff out. Does this similarity and coolness in blog clandestinity (which google doesn't think is a word, but it really is) make us blog-twins, because that would be awesomespice.

So anyway, I think that you shouldn't have to ask for compliments on your birthday because we were all going to tell you that you were gorgeous and talented and the very epitome of youthful beauty, however since I get a point for saying it -- there's 1 :) Also, I was going to blog about reading this post since I just got back from the doctor and was diagnosed with strep throat and how seeing a new blog made me happy. I think that since I was going to blog about it anyway, it shouldn't count as a point, but do what you will. So at any rate, 1 point or 4 points. It depends on how generous you're feeling :p

Happy Birthday!!!
Wendy Sparrow said…
You're pretty and young and full of awesomespice. Yay... Happy Birthday!!!! Woo woo. I'll go and tweet and blog about it, so just call this five. Mwah!
sarahjayne smythe said…
Happy birthday. I'm a follower and here's my comment: You are very pretty and look really, really young. :)
Ashley Stone said…
I follow you, I tweeted it, I think you are VERY beautiful, and you look SOOOO young!!!! (really your little girl pic looks just like you now!)

That's 4 entries. thx.
Travener said…
So young...so pretty...I only wish I could tweet about it.
Happy Birthday you young and pretty darling!! Blog link going up as soon as I am done.. I will cry if I don't win .. I am pretty sure the karaoke vlog is the BEST idea ever.. oh and a poem would be nice to and all haha.. happy birthday... from your adoring follower..

that would be 4 entries..
Travener said…
But I did blog about it.
Tina Lynn said…
Not only do you look young. I still think you look like a teenager. I got that same thing until I was 27, you made it two years longer obviously. And I'll call you pretty if you want, but I don't think that quite covers it. I think you're hot. #amberishot. So, I guess I only get four, cuz I didn't say you were pretty. But I'll tweet it now and blog about it tomorrow. Happy Birthday! Look at that. Saved the best for last:D

I agree, karaoke vlog thing? Great idea! I'm getting ready to tweet about this right now.

Also you're pretty and young. And happy birthday again! :D
Frankie Diane Mallis said…
Happy Birthday from your blogger birthday twin! :-)
MC Howe said…
Happy Birthday you pretty, young thing.

Husband doesn't know about your blogging huh? Good luck when he finds out. That only deserves mention on my blog.

I think that's 3 for me.
Kristen said…
hahaha. You don't need people to tell you you're young and pretty when you ARE!!

I wish the folks at Starbucks would give me a free hazlenut latte (with skim) my drink of choice. What a lucky lady.

The boyfriend knows I blog but most people don't. It's something of a secret escape ya know. congrats on 100 followers BTW

I agree with some of the ladies above. 1 entry for me :-)

Okay, just came back to make sure that I was last. Happy Birthday, late, but who cares. Cuz I'm last. Yes!
Melissa Hurst said…
Happy Happy Late Birthday. Sorry I didn't comment on the actual day but I was still doing the unplugged thing;)

Yes m'dear, you're extremely pretty and so young looking, why I thought you were only 20 myself!

I'll tweet about this fabulistic contest tonight! So let me think...that gives me
four entries (math is not my thing).

And neener, neener Teener, I'm last! HAHA!!!
SHE walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meets in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellow'd to that tender light 5
Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

Yeah, I didn't write that but thought it when I read your post. Hows that? Lord Byronspice!
You, my dear, are the epitome of youth and beauty.
Tweet, donespice.
Blog, pendingspice.
Feliz Cumpleanos!
K-Tee said…

Penelope Wright said…
Happy birthday, pretty young one!!
Mormon Bachelor Pad said…
Ok, I'm entering for me and again for Jake. Plus, I want to point out that you look so extremely young and attractive. Also... if you weren't married, Jake and I would appropriately ask you to do one of those 3-way kisses with us. Except Jake and I would need to be extra careful to make sure our tongues don't touch. So that equals 17 contest entries.

love at first sight blogfest, or, go eat a heart-shaped cookie

Courtney Reese is hosting a love at first sight blogfest, in which writer's write about the icky love stuff. Check it out -- there are already a ton of entries over there. Okay, so my scene isn't really love at first sight for my mc, Laurel (in fact, she doesn't even want it to be) but this is the first time she interacts with her second love interest, David.  Read! Enjoy! Critique!      A sea of southerners filled the lobby of the movie theater. David Winter stood at a neon orange podium in the center of the throng, his head throbbing. He tore off one ticket stub after another, pointed the masses in the appropriate direction. The work was monotonous. Most of the patrons were lost in conversations with one another, and they paid David the same lack of attention that he showed them. He tried not to grimace at the giggling teenage girls, the smug looking guys in gold chains, the overweight middle aged couples: all annoyed him equa...

First Page Blogfester

Preface: TGIF. It has been a day. So. I'm participating in the First Page Blogfest in which writers around the blogosphere post the opening 24 lines of their WIP. (In a "real" book, this is the approximate amount of work that would appear on page 1!) This blogfest is being headed up by Kelly over at Kelly's Compositions . Please check out the other entries and leave them a comment on their work. My own WIP will be featured on Roni's Beta Club next week, and I chose an excerpt from the beginning one chapter one for critque over there, so today I'll give you the true beginning: the opening lines of my prologue. Here goes nothing. My working title is A SAD SONG IN A FLAT KEY Genre: Literary Fictionspice Prologue May 2005      Laurel sits Indian style. She faces the head of her bed and tries to focus on Cafe Terrace at Night, pretending it is priceless artwork instead of a cheap replica. She counts the tables first, and the...
