We have two winners!!

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

It can be tough to choose a winner from among so many worthy entrants. Lucky for us there’s Random.org!  All we do is enter the numbers 1 and 1052 and Random.org does the rest.

Congratulations to Martin of West Jordan and Jeff of Saratoga Springs!!!

We’ve contacted both winners and confirmed their eligiblity. That is, they’re both very excited and love Fablehaven! Martin won the grand prize Fablehaven party with Brandon Mull!  Jeff and his family will receive everything they need to host their own Fablehaven shindig.

Check back often for step by step planning  ideas for Fablehaven party invitations, favors and activities. 

We’ll also be announcing our next party give-away before too long. If you were entered to win the Fablehaven party, you will automatically be entered for all our give-aways. We might even pass along a few coupons for yummy treats and fun things to do. So, your entry will surely bring good things your way, if not today, someday soon.

Thanks for playing and have a  great summer!

Fablehaven Party Give-Away Extended!

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

There’s nothing like a personal phone call from a New York Times Best-Selling author to make a girl feel important. At least I assume that’s how it would feel if Brandon Mull called. Obviously Brandon didn’t call me, but he did call Liz. Then again, Liz is important anyway.

Brandon called to let Liz know he’d be at the Provo Children’s Book Festival this coming Saturday and suggested we postpone the party drawing so the folks in Utah County could enter.  Fablehaven fans…he’s looking out for you! You’ll find him at the book festival as part of the ‘Weapons and Magic and Troll (Oh, My!)’ Fantasy Panel. He’ll also be doing a reading and signings. It all starts at 11:00 at the Provo Library.

Not one to disagree with a guy who has two movie deals in the works, Liz concurred with delaying the drawing and went straight-away to set the wheels in motion. I’m very familiar with the art of postponing, but rarely have I received approval to postpone on such good authority.

So, you’ve got three more days to convince your friends and family to enter the Fablehaven drawing on MyPartyBug.com. That is, if they are the kind of family and friends who will invite you if they win. Otherwise, you’re better off casually unplugging the cable to their modem and changing the default language in their browser to Swahili.

Then, be sure and check your email Monday night for an exciting congratulations email. In the unfortunate event you don’t receive an email from me Monday evening, be sure to check here Tuesday morning to see if someone you know won. You’ll want to be the first to congratulate them and get your name on the guest list.

Good Luck everyone!

With MyPartyBug.com in working order and only two weeks until we draw the names of our two lucky Fablehaven winners it’s time to start telling people about our new site!

To help spread the word about MyPartyBug.com we are sponsoring a give-away especially for Utah bloggers. In order to win a $100 gift certificate to Robert’s Crafts your task is to post the following on your blog:

  1. MyPartyBug.com is a new website gathering all the party planning resources we can into one place. (When I say new, I really mean it. We’re still building our database of business information and searching the web for great party ideas. MyPartyBug.com is changing and getting better every day!)
  2. MyPartyBug.com is giving away a Summer Fablehaven party with special guest author Brandon Mull! Seriously, he’s going to be there. He’ll eat cake, play games, and do whatever else famous authors do.  We are also giving away a Fablehaven party package with invitations, favors and other party stuff. You can find all the important information at http://mypartybug.com/partybug/sample.php
  3. Utah bloggers can win a $100 Robert’s Craft gift certificate when they help spread the news.
  4. Finally, be sure to include a link to this post, and submit your link on Mr. Linky at the end of this post.

My task, then, is to randomly draw a number from Mr. Linky and announce the Utah Blog winner on Monday, May 11.

MyPartyBug.com was inspired by all the amazing party ideas bloggers post every day. We love bloggers and hope to help party planners connect with all the great ideas and resources you put out into the blogosphere. Thanks for sharing what you do!

If you have any questions about Mr. Linky, our give-aways, or anything else for that matter, you can email me at: admin at MyPartyBug dot com.

*The gift certificate to Robert’s Crafts will grow $5 for each link submission up to $100. To enter you must add your blog link to Mr. Linky.
