A Giveaway

Last week there were almost 1,000 Blogs participating in the Bloggy Giveaways Quarterly Carnival. I hate to admit that I wasted far too much of my time and probably entered around 800 of those giveaways. I actually won 2 items! A code for a free box of personalized Fruit Roll Ups, and a Phillipine Cookbook. It was a lot of fun to participate, and even more exciting to actually win something!

I had thought about hosting my own giveaway during that time for a product I was really excited about, but I held off, because I hadn't actually received it in the mail yet.

But guess what? It came today! And I *love* it! It's a phone skin from mytego.com.
See how cool my phone looks now?

I love it, because now I can tell my phone apart from Jesse's phone. We both upgraded our phones just after Alex was born, and decided to get the same one. And we've been confusing them ever since, since they look exactly the same. We tried using different screensavers on the little mini screen, but once it hasn't been used in a while, it's dark enough that you can't tell which phone is which with a quick glance. So I started hunting for skins I could use for my phone, and ran into mytego.com. I had a lot of fun playing around with the customization of my skin. I ended up using one of their stock designs, instead of using my own images (I thought about putting pictures of my kids on there, or uploading pictures of their artwork, but ultimately decided to go with something "prettier" - and besides, my kids love "Nemo" fishes!!).

Long story short, I had so much fun with it, I want to give one away! So here it is, my very first Blog giveaway. One winner will receive a virtual gift card to mytego.com where they can design a skin of their choice. The amount will be dependent on the item the winner chooses to skin, but it will be either $13 or $21, enough to cover either 1 or 2 faces of a mobile phone, MP3 player, or PDA, as well as the shipping.

All you have to do is leave me a comment on this post! Of course I would very much love a personalized comment, something more than a simple "I want it! Please choose me!", and more along the lines of how cool I am (hehe) and what you think about my blog, especially if you're new here, but it won't be required. ;) You do need to make sure I have contact information for you, however - either leave an email address in your comment, or make sure your profile has your email included in it. This giveaway is open to anyone: My friends, family, or complete strangers, as long as you provide contact information.

The Giveaway will end one week from now, May 5th, Cinco de Mayo! I'll accept comments up through midnight of May 5th, and announce the winner on May 6th. The winner, by the way, will be selected randomly.

Please feel free to spread the word if you want to, with a link back to this post!
