Now I Did It

August 29, 2008 By 3 Comments

I now have more on my plate.  Figuratively, not literally.  Literally I’m trying to not put as much on my plate; that way I have room for dessert. ;)

About 6 months into writing my blog I would think about the mothers with multiple blogs and wonder how and why they did it.

Appears like I’m going to find out the hard way.  Why not, that’s the way I tend to do most things.

First I told Courtney that I would help her at Mom Giveaways.

My category is books/magazines, and I try to post at least 2 a day.

My “job” is to hunt down search for any book/magazine giveaway and link to it from a short post at Mom Giveaways.  Feel free to send me the info if you find one.

Courtney has asked several ladies to work on different categories, and there are a lot of giveaways posted every day.

Second I started a garden blog with Kara from Ramblings & Writings.

We are combining the garden blog she started with my url so if you want to visit it go to http://jendisjournal.com/gardenvines/.

I don’t have a fancy button for it yet, but hope to soon.

If you would like to guest post please e-mail me at jendi [at] jendisjournal.com.  You don’t have to be a blogger to guest post.

We have lots of plans and ideas for Garden Vines, but these things take time.  I didn’t realize how much I had done to this blog over a year.

So a writing schedule is sounding better and better…think I’ll go work on one now.

Have a great day!

Hope I Win!

I’ll let you in on one of my secret wishes. Well, not so secret, but it sounds more fun that way.

I would love to have a home page when you go to jendisjournal.com with links to this blog, my Jendi Jean Bags, a future garden blog, and possibly farther in the future a review blog.

I dream big.

So I’ve entered Kailani at An Island Life’s contest for a new blog design by The Diva. This post enables me to get another entry.

She is a very new designer, but a couple things caught my attention.

  1. She’s looking for WordPress users. That’s me!
  2. She did a page with links to her blog, portfolio, etc.

Wish me luck!

Winner of a Jendi Jean Bag…

…is Theresa! Congratulations!

Ultimate Blog Party 2008Star Jean Bag

We have already connected via e-mail. Her reply delighted me so I decided to share it with you.

Oh my. I won. I won. This is wonderful. YA.

OK, I will look at your site again. I remember I really, really liked the stars – patriotic one.

Yes, that one is the one. (happy dance) It is perfect for me. I have a pin that goes with it. It will fit right into my cloths collection. It is casual enough for everyday, yet will look super fancy on any National holidays.

Thank you so much. You are so creative. I really appreciate this.
(giggling with glee)

thank you,

Theresa

I will be mailing that bag to her this week. I like giveaways. :-) Giving and winning.

It’s Party Time!

Ultimate Blog Party 2008

Welcome to new and old readers alike!

Today is the first day of the Ultimate Blog Party. All women are invited. Just leave a comment at this post at 5 Minutes for Mom by Friday, March 14, 2008 and you will be eligible to win a great prize.

I entered a Jendi Jean Bag as a prize. You can find out more about them by clicking on the tab at the top of my site. The winner will be picked from the comments at the main 5 Minutes for Mom UBP ‘08 party post.

Come on in. Make yourself at home and help yourself to some cookies.

My blog is about

You can find out all about me by clicking on the About the Author tab at the top of my site. It even has links to different meme’s I’ve done if you are having trouble sleeping.

If you like my blog at all please consider subscribing by clicking the orange button directly under the army man in my header picture. Those army men have invaded my house so I had to put one on my blog too.

I will do my best to visit everyone that leaves a comment. That’s my normal operating procedure. My last bloggy giveaway comments totaled 169 so I could be in trouble…

Oh wait! I forgot the music. Here’s Bing Crosby and Jane Wyman from the movie “Here Comes the Groom”:

Thanks so much for stopping by!

These are the prizes I’m wishing for:

  1. A Bead Dangle Photo Tile Necklace provided by Elemental Memories [#7 on prize list]
  2. Gift Certificate to Mikarose provided by Liza’s Eyeview [#54]
  3. Cards are always good. I think some Mommy Calling Cards would be great fun. I’d have trouble deciding between prize #20 for a gift certificate to Paperlicious and prize #78 for custom photo cards from Polka Dot Bumblebee.
  4. My daughter would love prize #103 from LEGO – a pink brick set.
  5. All my kids would eventually use prize # 44 – Jump Start World 1st Grade from Mom Reviews.

Other great prizes I would enjoy are #59 or 60 – cash; #49 or 73 – books; #41 is more cards; and #98 is jewelry.
