Prize Descriptions
First Prize:
Nintendo Wii video game system
Quite simply, this is the coolest gaming system on the market. You can create your own characters, play life like games such as bowling and tennis, and according to my friend Julie at Cool Mom Guide, lose some serious weight with this system. From the Nintendo site:
“Why do I need Wii?
Wii is not just a gaming console, it’s a reason to get together with your friends and family and play today’s hottest games. Wii offers legendary Nintendo franchises like Mario, Zelda and Metroid, as well as all new classics like Wii Sports and Wii Play. Create your own Mii character to star in Wii games. Play friends online over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or use the Internet Channel to surf the net from your sofa. You can even download classic Nintendo games using the Wii Shop Channel.”
Retail price: $279.49
Runner Up Prizes:
Golden Dotty Earrings
Esculon Golden Dotty Earrings: Designed by my good friend Alexandra Mihaescu, everything at Esculon makes you feel as if you are wearing the expensive one-of-a-kind bling you see on celebs, but it all comes with an affordable price tag. From her site: “Wild gold-filled wire and a touch of pink make up these perfectly fun stud earrings. The pink is a cultured, dyed pearl. The studs measure .5″ in diameter.”
Retail price: $35.00
Om Aroma Gift CertificateOm Aroma

Hi Alisa! I’ve sent an email to ten of my friends (and copied you), and have subscribed to your blog by email.
I’ll be back for more points later. Thanks for such a cool contest!

And she was so good too! LOL Here I am – AND she didn’t even tell me that she was trying to win a WII. I really enjoyed reading your blogs, and love your sense of humor.
I also subscribed – not just to win, but because I really enjoy your content.

My Haiku…
Love
By Katie Ballard
Love is like a crystal
can be scattered by emotion
but beautiful throughout

If you are already subscribed, we will count that toward your points. There’s no need to subscribe twice. Great question.

Mommy’s Circus
Motherhood has been
a whimsical circus of
“stop that!” and “love you!”

Here is my poem..
Relationships
You learn a lot from your relationship with your partner
but you learn far more
from the relationship you have with yourself!

Very good contest Alisa. I’m impressed. =)

How do i get my face on my posts?

I really want a Wii!!
Here’s my haiku to start
My love is not my best friend.
Our bond is acceptance, respect and
A commitment to making it work.

Just subscribed to the email too!

Love the contest! Wii and earings look fabulous!!

Hi Alisa, I just subscribed to your blog by email. I should have really done it a long time ago because I love your blog but always forget to go to it. Now I’ll get it delivered and have a chance to win a wii at the same time.

Alisa,
I just discovered and have been exploring the site. It’s delightful! One little thing though, regarding Haiku. In addition to having only 3 lines, the first and third lines must contain only 5 syllables, while the second must contain only 7. Makes it a bit more difficult, but I have found that when writing them within these limits forces me to be more introspective and this is a good thing. Fung Shui for the brain!
Thanks for such a great site!

My Haiku
Control
Sex and power one in the same
You are in total control
Until you release

My haiku entry:
I like sex real hot,
But don’t have to be on top.
Missionary’s fine.

Alisa – You are a genious – you offer up a contest and get to take some time off! Miss you tho, girl – hope you are writing again soon!
BTW – Not to win the contest, just because….
Life is just too short
To play stupid games of love
So just be yourself
