I Dream of… Genie?

A little background about this post…

I have to brag about my web designer, Judi of DoodleBug Web Designs.  How she found the patience to deal with my neurotic, perfectionist, and A-Type personality is beyond me!  But, she really helped.  She got me focused on what kinds of photos I like, what kinds of fonts… colors, backgrounds, shadows, signatures… oh, the choices!  I’m happy with what we decided on and I am definitely going to use her for future projects and my other website.  Making the transition to self-hosting was easy, but I don’t think the transition was.  This is mainly due to the fact that I didn’t know what I was doing.  But, now I do!  Yippee!  I wanted to have the opportunity to advertise to supplement our family income in some small way, so self-hosting was the right choice for me.  I hope I haven’t lost too many of you in the transition!  If any body out there in Blogger Land decides to take the leap and needs any help, I’m totally there to help you… just write me.  Although, I only know GoDaddy.Com for the web-hosting server company.  But, they are super reasonable. 

 ANYWAY… onto the topic of this post!

Judi is a specialist with WordPress and Blogger designs.  So, you can do as much, or as little as you like.  She’s flexible in her services and very reasonable with her pricing.  Because I really enjoyed her “creative juices,” I’d thought somebody out there in Blogger Land may WISH for the same.  Oh, and if you’re happy with your layout but just maybe want to put up a temporary holiday header, this is the perfect chance to do so.   ALSO, IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN A RE-DESIGN OR HEADER, IF YOU ARE THE WINNER, I AM SURE THAT JUDI WILL TRADE IT IN FOR SOME NEAT BUTTONS, A SIGNATURE, OR OTHER NOOKS & CRANNIES THAT YOU DESIRE!

Yes, I’m running another contest!

The winner will win:

Ooohhhh….

Aaahhhh…

I can hear you out there… thinking… YEAH!  I want to win that!

Humph!  So, I gotcha’ now!

Time for the good contest!

Your Three Wishes Contest

Timeline:  Starts Sunday, November 9th and Ends Sunday, November 16th, 2008 – 5pm PST

Rules:  If you had the ability to have three wishes come true for your PERSONAL LIFE (i.e. no world peace, ending of starvation, guaranteed entrance into heaven, etc.), what would you wish for?  Oh, and the “I’d wish for 3 more wishes” is NOT allowed!  (I’m soooo mean, I know).  Try to really write about what you’d like for you…not your kids, your husband, your family, etc.  These three wishes are ALL ABOUT YOU! 

Easy enough.  Right?

Entries:  I’ll make it easy on you.  You have 3 choices for entering: 

*  Write a post on your blog.  For a double entry, include my nifty Genie photo and link it back to Moi!  I’ll insert an easy copy below.  If you choose this option, leave me a comment below with a link to your post.

* Write me an email at anovelmenagerie@aol.com.  I’ll post it for you.  (Can’t get much simpler than that).

* Go ahead and jot your 3 wishes down in your comment.  Make sure that you leave your email address, as well so that I can reach you.

Winning is Easy:   I’m using a random number picker to choose the winner.  Your number will be based on in which order you post.  If you do the blog/photo option, you will get two numbers assigned to you.  The winner shall be announced by no later than Monday, November 10th at 8pm PST.

Here’s that easy copy I promised:
