Thanksgiving Contest

Thanksgiving Contest

UPDATED: This is officially closed! Please come back on January 7, 2010 for the announcement of winners.

UPDATED: Fixed the problem with the sponsors’ links and contest button. Kindly grabbed the new codes for those who already submitted their entries. Thank you.

Special thanks to Willa of Smart Mommy and Chris of The Mommy Journey for bringing to my attention the problem.

Welcome to my first ever give-away contest (and probably the last :D )! The purpose of this contest is to encourage the participants to count their blessings for the year 2009. I firmly believe that God is great and always faithful to us despite our shortcomings and sins. I believe that there is at least one thing in this year that we want to thank God for. So this is your chance :) Let us all recall how great God is in our lives for the year 2009.

I intentionally made the rules of this contest very easy so many can join. There is only one required task and that is task #1. The participant may opt not to do the rest but of course, each accomplished task is an additional chance to win a prize.  Continue reading this post for the rules and mechanics of the game. And I sincerely hope that all the participants will be reminded of the greatness of our God by joining this contest. Blessings to us all :)

* Simply accomplish the tasks given below. The more tasks you accomplished, more chances to win :)
