Let the Love Begin

Donations for little Parker are being accepted now through Friday. He is not doing so well right now, and I hope a lot of money is raised with this fund raiser. After you donate, make sure to leave a comment so that you can be entered in the contest for 17 great prizes.

Do Some Good and Earn a Chance to Win a Prize

Parker of Praying for Parker not only struggles with Down Syndrome but also deals with several medical problems. Their insurance company is not helpful at all and refuses to cover medical items that Parker must have in order to keep on living.

Melody of Slurping Life will be holding a fund raising drive to help Parker's family with his expenses. The dates of the love offering will be July 23 through July 27. She is offering prizes, donated by herself and others, as incentive for monetary donations to Parker's fund. Melody's prize contribution, courtesy of Hewlett-Packard, is a digital camera/printer/accessories package retailing for approximately $430. To be entered in the drawing, all you have to do is donate a minimum of $2, though it would be great if you could more. All donations will be paid directly into an account accessible by Parker's parents.

I have contributed the following prize to the pot: a custom website design update from RS Designs, valued at $55 - $120 (depending on options chosen) The winner may choose 3 of the following options:

1. Web site color change (change the colors of your existing template, including images)
2. New background image
3. Custom sidebar image
4. Custom header
5. Custom advertising banner.

I know there will be other great prizes, so don't forget to stop by between July 23 and July 27 to make a donation and be entered for your chance to win. If you would help spread the word by writing your own post about the contest before or during that time, it would certainly be a help to Parker and his family.

Great prizes

Everyone loves a contest with prizes. I'm here to tell you about a fabulous one.

One of my best "blog friends" is Linda. She is a Swede who lives in Brazil, which I think is rather cool. I first met her at Making a Happy Life, but she is a prolific blogger with several other blogs as well. Her newest blog is Mama's Coffee Corner, which she had me customize by creating and installing a custom header, footer image, and sidebar images.

Linda had the bright idea for us to hold a joint kickoff contest for Mama's Coffee Corner and RS Designs. The contest will be held for one week, beginning today. (May 17-24) Winners will be announced May 25.

Prizes:

• Linda is offering your choice of either a $20 gift certificate from Amazon.com or a Brazilian Goody Box to be sent to your door.
• I am offering a free custom header from RS Designs.

How to enter:

• Write a post about the contest and link to both Mama's Coffee Corner and RS Designs.
• Sign the Mr. Linky at the blog offering the prize you would like to win. If you would like a chance to win both prizes, sign up at both blogs.

That's all there is to it. I wish you all the best.
