Random Thoughts from an Unbalanced Mind...or Melissa's Blog: Happy Birthday to MEEEEE

Wednesday, January 4

Happy Birthday to MEEEEE

UPDATE: CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. Winner will be posted Saturday morning.

Hello, everyone! Yes, I just turned a year older and like other years, I am having a party of sorts on the blog. And, holy smokes, I have a big giveaway this year.

A KINDLE FIRE!

Didn't get one for Christmas? Well here is your chance. Or maybe you did get one, but you want to get one for a friend. You can still enter (I will ship to you and you have to take care of it from there). As of right now, it will not ship internationally, so, if you are international you have two options:

A Gift Certificate from any online bookstore for $200.00 (the price of the Fire)
OR
Have it shipped to a friend in the US then they take care of shipping it to you. Once I ship it to them, it is their responsibility. I am not liable for it after that.

Also, there will be FIVE runners' up who will win a swag bag filled with trading cards, magnets and all kinds of goodies.

What do you have to do? Easy. Wish me a happy birthday in the comments. The contest will run until Friday, 8 am central time. I will close comments and then use random.org to pick the winner.

Good luck!
