First! This morning was so awesome and I am already enjoying being a Mid-Michigan Chevy Girl on the Go!

Thank you so much to the Mid-Michigan Chevy dealers for making it possible! I can’t wait to tell you all about how my first day in the Chevy Cruze went! And post pictures! I, of course, took plenty this morning!

And second, WINNERS!!!

Winner of Prize 1, the chocolate gift: Entry #1, Alej Keigan!
Winner of Prize #2, the bottle of raspberry balsamic vinegar: Entry # 14, Jessica G!
Winner of Prize #3, the coffee & cocoa: Entry #5, Holly M!

Congratulations! I’ll be contacting you for your mailing info, so be on the look out!

There are quite a few things coming up this month that I can’t wait to post about.   First thing on the list is that I’ll be  taking part in the Chevy Girls on the Go program! I will be test driving a new Chevy and blogging/vlogging about it! And you know that with me,  that will mean tons of pictures too!

I will be driving a Cruze, a Malibu, or a Traverse and I can’t decide which I like the most! I think the Cruze might be the cutest, but the Malibu looks cool too, and I’ve heard some really awesome things about the features on the Traverse. So I’m thinking I’m going to be thrilled no matter how it goes.

I’m looking forward to my month of adventures with a shiny new Chevy and can’t wait to get started! It’s going to be so fun! I’m getting so impatient for the end of this week!

Vlogging will be kind of a new experience for me too so I’m really looking forward to that part as well!

It’s my birthday! And guess what! I’m going to give away some presents! Yup, you read that right. I’m going to give you presents for *my* birthday. How awesome is that??

I came up with a few things that I really dig that I’d like to give away. There are three prizes to win, three ways to enter, and there will be three winners winning at the end!

First, the prizes:

1. Chocolatey goodness! I’m really a fan of Easter candy. It’s my absolute favorite holiday for candy. Prize one is a bag of Cadbury Mini Eggs with their crunchy candy shell + a bag of pretty pastel colored Easter M&Ms.

2. Prize two is a 200 ml bottle of Raspberry Balsamic Vinegar from The Great Lakes Olive Oil Co. and a bar of dark chocolate. I highly recommend you also try this drizzled over your favorite vanilla ice cream.

3. Prize three is a sample of my favorite coffee of the moment and some dark chocolate hot cocoa mix to go with it. I love mixing them together to make my own version of a mocha. It’s not a real mocha, I know, but it makes me happy and it’s really good.

How to enter:

1. Leave a comment on this entry telling me your favorite birthday memory.

2. For an additional entry, “Like” Photography by Wendy on facebook, then come back here and leave a second comment letting me know that you did.

3. For another additional entry, post as your Facebook status: I want to win fabulous prizes from @Photography by Wendy’s birthday giveaway! http://wendyseye.com/2011/03/20/happy-birthday-to-me/
