The Ultimate Blog Party
I am really excited because I am going to participate in the Ultimate Blog Party for 2009. This is my first time to do so and it sounds like it will be the best fun around! Basically, bloggers and non-bloggers can travel caravan-style from one great blog to another during the week of March 20-27th. This is a great way to make new friends online and get to read some of the best blogs around.
The Ultimate Blog Party is a sure way to increase readers and traffic to a blog, which is every blogger’s goal. Where else can you be exposed to some many different blogs, readers and bloggers in one place.
Oh, I forgot to tell you. There are prizes at the Ultimate Blog Party. And refreshments (okay, so I understand there are some really great recipes shared).
Come join the fun. The Ultimate Blog Party is hosted by 5 Minutes For Mom. Just go there to start the party and follow whatever links strike your fancy!
Hope to see you there! I’ll share some of the great new friends and blogs I find with you. Oh, and be sure to invite all your friends and family too. You can even tweet about it!
If I am a lucky winner of one of the prizes, my top three picks of prizes would be:
1. #58 – Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixer Provided by: Moms Who Think
Prize details: From Amish Friendship Bread to Decadent Cheesecake and all the meals in between dessert, Moms Who Think has recipes you’ll love. We would like to donate a Kitchen Aid Artisan Stand Mixer to help make one lucky winner’s home cooking even easier. (winner’s choice of color, $349.99 retail value)
2. #113 — $25 gift certificate to Office Max (two winners) Provided by: Multi-Tasking Mama
Prize details: Buy some products to organize your home or office on me! Multi-Tasking Mama would like to donate a $25 gift certificate to two winners to this popular store.
3. #116 — One Copy of Joy’s LIFE Diet: Four Steps to Forever Thin Provided by: It’s Come To This
Prize details: “Learn how to love tasty, healthy food while losing weight with Joy’s no-fuss, four-step diet plan” … it’s working for me:)
If those prizes are already taken (and who wouldn’t want any of them?), my next favorite are: #37,22,21, 20,12, 11, and 10.
There are some of the best prizes available anywhere. Really, I would love to have any of them. Which one would you like?
Did I tell you that you don’t have to be a blogger to win the prizes?

I’m still just blog hopping through the Ultimate Blog Party link list. I didn’t want to miss out on any blogs… but I just ran out of party time. So… I’m still working my way down the list… even though the party is technically over.
Stop in on my blog if you’ve got a minute! Or… if you’re still up for a party post… you could stop by my party anytime!

This is my first blog party, too! I’ll definitely have to check out your blog more later… (I’m just bookmarking everyone right now, while I blog-hop my way through the party :-p)
Feel free to check out my blog, too! While I found the party too late to be part of the official prize giveaways, I do have a door prize at my blog: I’m giving away a free print copy of my book, “Two Snowflakes.” Here’s my address: http://twinhappyjen.blogspot.com/
It was nice to meet you!
