It's a beautiful day for a giveaway

The birds are singing and chirping outside my window. The sun is shining and it's actually warm. My house is basically clean and most of my laundry is done. I also have a beautiful, new blog design thanks to Erin at Designer Blogs. It is indeed "A Beautiful Day" and that is coincidentally the name of the design kit used on this blog. Sounds like today is just the perfect day for a giveaway.

I wanted to do this in conjunction with my blog birthday giveaway, but alas, that didn't happen. I added my name to Erin's queue several weeks ago and was hoping that the new design might possibly be up and running at the same time as my darling little blogs birthday. It's okay that it wasn't because this giveaway deserves a spot all its own. When I find something I like, I really like it and I like to let everyone know about it. So, now you know about Rustic Mama Jewelry and Designer Blogs. Plus, these giveaways might just be a little bit about me. I really do love meeting new people through blogs. Giveaways are a good way to get all the lurkers to come out of the closet so I can finally meet them.

What I am giving away is a custom blog makeover by Erin. You will receive 1 "Package A" makeover. Click here to see examples. If you want anything above and beyond that, you can certainly upgrade. (At an additional cost to you.) There is already a spot reserved for the winner of this giveaway in the May Queue listed as "Christa's Giveaway Winner". Once the winner is chosen, you can start communicating with Erin to work out the details. Go check out all of the beautiful possibilities.

I know that many already have their own custom designs, or are experimenting with doing it on their own. I think that's fantastic. However, maybe Erin can simply help you to kick it up a notch, add to what you already have, or just start all over. She has so many design kits to choose from. There's something there for almost anyone.

The giveaway rules:

1. If you are interested in entering, leave a comment saying so. Doing that=1 chance to win.

2. Post about this on your own blog=2 additional chances to win. (Even if you aren't interested in the makeover, please post about this on your own blog as well. Like I said, I like to get the word out about things I like. I also like to know that people like me. ☺ I'm so very needy.)

3. That's it.

In total, you can have 3 chances to win. One more chance than my last giveaway. You're all so lucky I'm in such a generous mood today. I will allow comments to be left on this post until Thursday, April 30, 2009 at 6:00 pm MST time. Erin has a sale happening right now that will run until the end of the month. I will try to have the winner posted before too late in the evening so that everyone who doesn't win (I don't want to call you losers), can have the chance to purchase a package at the sale price before it ends. You know, if you're interested. By the way, the package I purchased was Package C.

I again want to thank all the wonderful friends I've made through this blog. You truly mean so much to me. I don't know where I would be without you. Truly.
