February 2009 Contest
February 2007 - We tallied the number of miles walked by all participants - for a grand total that would have gotten us all the way to China, Spain, and Tanzania! If I remember correctly, there were about 30 participants.
February 2008 - We tallied the number of letters/emails sent by all participants - yielding in great results which truly did make it "The Month of the Letter." The prizes were awesome, if I do say so myself, and the 30+ participants worked hard to earn them.
So..... It's February again!!!! I've been thinking, and thinking, and thinking.....(please, no sassy comments here!), and decided on five options. I've changed my mind about four times - and ended up combining three of my favorite things to come up with "WRW Month!" So read carefully, join in whole-heartedly, make your February a great one - and earn some great prizes in the process! I'd love to have more than 50 people participating this year - so..... tell a friend!
WRW Month
W = Walk - You get 20 points for every 15 minutes that you walk OR every 15 minutes that you exercise! Minutes will be rounded to the nearest 15 for point calculation (i.e. 20 minutes counts as 15; 25 counts as 30). Walk or exercise five days in one week (Sunday - Saturday), and get a bonus 25 points!
R = Reading - You get 20 points for every 15 minutes that you read! Once you finish an entire book, you will get a bonus 25 points!
W = Writing letters - You get 25 points for every card or letter you send in the mail. I made these worth more points because you have to spend money to do it. However, I want you to think of how great it is to get a personalized card or letter in the mail - and ask where else could you hand someone four dimes and two pennies and ask them to take something to another state and deliver right to your friend's front door for you?!
It's that simple this year - - - no additional break-downs, no odd amounts.
So here's how it works - You can send me your points via the following: email me, leave a comment on the blog posting for that day, post on my Facebook wall, or send a Facebook message. I'll keep an Excel spreadsheet with a running total! Participants' names are not posted unless you give me permission to do so.
Oh wait - I suppose you want to know the prizes:
Remember that you can combine all three areas for LOTS of points!!!!
1st Place: $50.00 gift card + one "surprise gift"
2nd Place: $25.00 gift card + one "surprise gift"
3rd Place: $15.00 gift card + one "surprise gift"Gift card options will be offered to the winners at the end of the contest: Target, Amazon, Shutterfly, BP Gas, Visa
Please join in, and check back daily for fun ideas, quotations, and thoughts about the three contest areas! And start sending in those totals TODAY!!!

Okay, I'm coming in a little late here - I've been a little preoccupied :)! I have a few questions - Do birth announcements (be looking for yours!) and thank you cards count as a card/letter? and does nursing count as exercising? I mean, it burns LOTS of calories! That one may be a stretch, but I had to ask - I'm not allowed to exercise for another five weeks or so.
