Happy Birthday To Me!!

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/

The @ should automatically link to my Facebook page when you post. Hopefully.

After you post it to your status, come back here and post the link in another separate comment.

You have until 11:59 p.m. on March 31st to get your entries in. Good luck!

Please note: This giveaway is sponsored by me and only me. This giveaway is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Facebook.

And look! It’s newborn baby Wendy! I looked like a little alien baby, didn’t I?

  9. Lindsay Fields says: My favorite memory is when I turned 16... there was a beautiful purple car in the driveway with a huge red bow! I still have the car to this day! on 03.23.11 @ 6:07 pm

  10. Tamara says: My favorite birthday memory is from 2009. I lived in Virginia, but I drove to Michigan (on my own for the first time!). At the time, I was going through a divorce, and I really wanted to be with my "family"--my close friends. My birthday was on a Sunday, so I was able to see a lot of people and do a lot of things that weekend. On my birthday, one of my friends and her family took me out for a birthday lunch. I was flattered that most of her siblings and her parents were there. My friend's mother passed away in 2010 from a long illness. This memory is dear to me because I got to spend my birthday with a dear friend, whom I've known since the first day of high school; her amazing, hilarious, caring family; and her mother, whom I've always admired. It was a great chance to get away from the heartbreak that was happening in Virginia, enjoy time with loved ones, and feel "normal" again. on 03.27.11 @ 3:34 pm

  11. Tamara says: I posted on FB! http://www.facebook.com/tamara.evaline.watkins/posts/209900719036200 on 03.27.11 @ 3:54 pm

  12. Firgs says: I don't remember how old I was, but I had a super killer slumber party in the second grade and my dad rented a projector and a screen so that we could have big wall sized movies to watch. :D Everyone talked about it for months!! on 03.27.11 @ 4:18 pm

  13. Jessica G says: There is nothing NOT to love about my birthday, including double negatives! It's October 31st, so every year my birthday party was a costume party too. My favorite birthday memories are the cakes my family used to make. She was always so clever, They were in the shapes of cats or ghosts or little graveyards. I took it for granted when I was little, but now I really appreciate how special they were. on 03.27.11 @ 4:50 pm

  14. Jessica G says: I also just liked your fan page on Facebook! on 03.27.11 @ 4:51 pm

  15. Stacey Potter says: My favorite birthday was when my husband surprised me with a scavenger hunt that took me through all my big memories in life. Perfect! on 03.27.11 @ 11:41 pm

Contest winner, site news

I went to random.org to choose the contest winner. It spit out the number 3 for me. So congratulations to Heather Durow! You will love your story board!

I think I’ll take a break from contests for the next month or two. Instead, anyone who books during the month of April (this is just the booking, your session does not have to take place in April) will receive a free something. You won’t know what you’re getting until after you book, but it will be something snazzy!

Also, beginning May 1, the session fee will be going up to $75, but will now include a set of proofs that will be yours to keep. To book at current prices, make sure you book your session before April ends. Again, your session can be later, but you must book and sign the contract in April.
