Those of you on my personal facebook page may have noticed my update about the milestone my little corner of the internet is about to reach. When I posted it, I thought I’d just say it there, and move on, not making a big deal about it. The more I thought about it all day, the more I realized I should be celebrating this achievement. After all, this site is devoted to Disney, and who does celebrations better than Disney, right? Also, the whole reason this milestone is happening is because of you, the readers, so I figured I should definitely be giving back to the very people that brought me here to begin with. So are you ready to celebrate??
There are 2 days left in March, including today – ZannaLand.com is really really close to getting 10,000 page views for the month of March. I’m so amazed by this – I remember when I started I was excited that the site had 10 views a day. Certainly a LOT has happened both on the site and in my life since that time, and I am so grateful for the exciting changes that have taken place.
I would not be here without the wonderful community of readers about which I’m always raving, and although I may not have the budget of Disney, what I’d do in real life is take you out for a coffee and thank you. Since for most readers, I can’t do that without involving airlines and lots of miles, I thought I’d give away 3 gift cards {of various mystery amounts}Â for a coffee on me {or tea or whatever else you might like to drink at Starbucks}.
In addition, I’m giving away a couple of fun surprises – 2 unopened Vinylmation figures! So that’s 5 separate chances to win. However, we have to reach that goal first – which means I need your help getting the word out about this giveaway!
To enter the giveaway:
- Comment on this entry.
- Tweet about this giveaway and comment here with the url of that tweet.
- Post on facebook or anywhere else you’d like to spread the word and let me know here!
If you want some extra entries you can also:
I will then add all the entries into random.org and pick the winners there. I can’t wait to see who wins!
Disclosure: I am providing these prizes out-of-pocket and am not being sponsored by Starbucks, Walt Disney World or anyone else for this giveaway. Each comment meeting the above guidelines will be entered to win one of five prizes. Contest ends at midnight PST on March 31st and winners will be announced on April 1st. Good luck! 🙂
…
UPDATE: If you did not read on twitter, we surpassed 10,000 views after midnight on March 30th, so we definitely hit our goal and then some by the 31st! Thanks so much!! The winners have been picked at random.org:
$5 Starbucks gift card goes to – Jacqueline Hudson!
$10 Starbucks gift card goes to – icitea!
$15 Starbucks gift card goes to – Stephanie (VertigoDawn)!
1st Vinylmation goes to –Vader’s Mom!!
2nd Vinylmation goes to – Jon (disneylovndad)!!
