Sneak Peek: Sponsors for eTreasures Publishing Blogmania

I just wanted to let my faithful followers here at MBS know about the Blogmania event I will be hosting NOT HERE but at eTreasures Publishing this week. I meant to post this a month ago but time has slipped away.

These are our lovely sponsors! Here are all the posts on eTreasures showing pictures of the gifts for prizes!

There will also be several gift card credits from eTreasures.

Thank You for the Fun Time at GOT BOOKS?

I forgot to say a          

to all those who entered the GOT BOOKS? EVENT giveaway and the many who left such nice comments. If you are new to my blog - Welcome!  You will learn that I LOVE to sponsor giveaways! Mostly books but I try to throw in some extra items every month or so just for fun, plus some giveaways to thank my Followers.

I have to get the summer giveaway posted soon.  It looks like the giveaway list has outgrown the top of the blog spot so I will be moving it to the sidebar later this week.


BTW- a couple people asked about the metal hook bookmarks. My friend, Jensmere, is one of the September Blogmania sponsors at eTreasures Publishing so there will be more bookmarks available there with many other great prizes. That Giveaway event will have an international package too. Please check out  the eight sponsor posts at eTreasures blog (and follow early to save time during the event).  There are some more sponsor and gift posts coming up soon.

Jensmere also makes some lovely jewelry which I will be offering, with more bookmarks, in future giveaways here at my blog. As another blogger says - it's fun to have Bling with books!

Winners at Martha's Bookshelf Blogmania!!

I hope everyone entering Blogmania had as much fun as I did. The day was a bit hectic wasn't it? I found lots of new sites I hope to get to visit now and again! I am thinking of working in a system to run down my followers and visit 12 a day or something like that. Let's see - I wonder if I could get through them in a month that way?

Did any of my "old" faithful followers notice that I slid past 300 followers a bit earlier this month and then past 400 with the Blogmania? I was planning on getting a follower thank you giveaway up earlier in April but the month slid past me. (Story of my days!) So now I will have to do a double award for the 400 level!! Keep your eyes open for that!

Now let's get on with the exciting announcement of BLOGMANIA WINNERS! 
I wished I could have many winners!The International grouping was a little easier with 18 entries. The winning number was #4 which =

Emma is a girl from Australia with a blog about books and some other loves at What's Cracking Coops?

 
The US/Canadian pick was harder because there were 185 entries - Random.org came up with #75 which =

Elisabeth has a fun blog at YS Princess's

 And because I just can't help myself I chose a runner up winner from the Canadian entries to whom I will give an eTreasures download and a Book depository pick up to $8.00. That winner number was #68 which =

Laurie at Paranormal Bites  

which is another pretty awesome site.

I will email the winners who will have 72 hours to reply or a new winner will be chosen.

MY GIVEAWAY RULES: I will be keeping it simple - be a follower of my blog and make a comment when the official post* goes up on April 30th leaving your e-mail! (*Not this post.)  I am still putting my Treasure Chest prize package together but it will include two packs, one International and one for US/Canada entries: an eBook choice plus Gift Card or Book Depository choice; a charm bookmark or charm key chain; swag and more!

Here are some tips how to get the most of Blogmania:

1. Be at any of the blogs participating in the Blogmania Event as early as possible on April 30th.   The easiest way to find a Blogmania Blog is to look for the Blogmania Badge.  I am a late entry - #122 of total #123. So you will probably want to start at In Between the Pages which is #1 or another site if you already have seen this and picked one out!

2. This is an international event, so there will be some differences in time zones.  You might want to start early and stay late to catch all the blogs.

3. Each blog will have their own giveaway requirements. Read them carefully, follow through, and then move on as quickly as possible. If you run across a blog that you really like and want to spend some time exploring, copy their URL and then visit them after Blogmania is over.

4. There will be a 123 blogs for you to visit. Each one will post their number like this:  This is blog #122 of 123. This will help you keep track of which blogs you’ve visited, and which ones you still need to reach. I’d suggest that you prepare a blog sheet which is numbered from 1 – 123, then mark off each numbered blog as you visit them.

5. There are all types of blogs participating in Blogmania, which means that the range of items in their giveaways are diverse. I have previewed many and they are awesome.

6. Why not contact a friend and partner up. Compare notes, share loot, or organize your own friendly neighborhood Blogmania Competition.

This is our first Blogmania Event, but it isn’t our last. Blogmania is a bi-yearly Giveaway Extravaganza. In fact, our next Blogmania Event will start September 15th,  and do we have some cool stuff planned for you! So keep in touch with our Blogmania Blogs, because they will be giving sneak previews, secret codes, and who knows what else in the weeks and months ahead.
