Hey Melanie,

I completed the 3 steps for the entry into the contest. The preference for our crown if we win is under the comments on the btn.org site.

Michelle said...

What a fun way to spend your message
I have completed all three tasks and have also followed both pages from my blogm I am joining twitter to follow your tweets and will tweet a message as well. I am also going to order a crown for my birthday girl. So I think i did everything to get every extra vote I can.

Michelle said...

Oh I forgot my daughter would love the reversable crown!!!

i would love a variety of multiple colors- anything you have laying around.

Keri said...

Okay, I think I'm covered! I did my post, follow you on both blogs, and on twitter. Schweet!

OK, I am new to your blog so I have just begun following (DING),
I am posting a button your blog (DING DING)...I believe that is 2 entries for me!!!

C said...

Mel, I'm now a follower and posted links over at my blog, but... maybe we could just buy some crowns for the next birthday season at our house? Best of luck, hope things are going super well for you guys. :o)

1. I have the button up and rolling on my blog.
2. My fav is the goldenrod.
3. I'm now a follower on both blogs.
4. I'm going to post about your giveaway on my sidebar so it stays up for longer than a regular post.
5. And last but certainly not least, I ordered the goldenrod crown for my boys to share!

What does that earn me? Like 5,000 entries, I hope? (I'm one of the last people on the planet who doesn't twitter/tweet so those are the only extra entries I couldn't go for.)

Thanks for the great giveaway!

What an awesome thing you're doing!

Step 1 is done.
Step 2 -- I like them all! Seriously, they are all wonderful. I love the colors. I have both a little girl and boy so whatever you want to send my way should I win (thinking positive here!) would be fabulous. Seriously.
Step 3 is done. I've been following you for awhile but made sure you were linked appropriately on my blog.
Step 4 -- I'm doing it right now.
Step 5 -- Was an EXTRA. I posted about your giveaway specifically and linked back to your blog.

Thanks for doing this, you rock!

Melanie
I have told everyone I know about the party crowns and I have a niece and a cousin who will be ordering princess crowns very soon. I have added the Bee button and plan to leave it one our blog permanently. I left a post on the other site about what kind of crown we would like, but since Memphis has microcephaly he will need a small crown. Is it possible to make it adjustable?

Melanie said...

Memphis' Mom-

We can totally do that. Whatever you'd like to do we can pretty much do. There is velcro on the back that holds it together, so that in itself makes it adjustable. But if you also measure your child's head, we can build a crown that way. Easy peasy!!

Good Luck! and thanks for passing the word!

MMMom said...

I already have your button on my blog! I like the pink/purple for MM with her name. I really can't decide though cause I Love them ALL!

MMMom said...

I am already a follower of your blog! Woo hoo!
