Contest and GiveAway - you know you want my window stars...

Hey everyone,
I'm in a celebratory mood today - My facebook fanpage has reached 100 fans! I'm so excited about that!
I have promised to give away a window star once I reached that number, but I have decided to run a give away and a contest at the same time - feel free to take part in both, you could win twice :-)

Give Away:

This one is very easy! comment on my blog to be entered in my random drawing. You can comment more than once to have a better chance to win. Here is how it works:
please comment here after you

1. read this blogpost
2. Like me on Facebook
3. Tweeted about this contest (please post a link to your profile)
4. Posted something about this contest/ GiveAway to Facebook (link, please)
5. subscribe to my Newsletter (german or english, no need to do both - but please provide your e-mail adress so I can see that you really joined. Feel free to scramble it a bit)
6. post something about this to any other sodial media site(link)
7. hearted an item in my etsy store (tell me wich one, please)
8. blogged about it (please link)
9. enter the contest (see second part of this post)

So you can get quite a lot of comments :-)
Each one can be claimed only once except for the blogpost - if you actually blog about this contest more than once, feel free to comment again!

And here is what you can win:

This beautiful window star will go to one lucky winner. If I catch you cheating (posting more comments than you should, lying about joining the mailing list etc.) You can't win (honest mistakes happen, I'm not a mean person). Should this GiveAway generate a lot of interest, I might add some smaller stars to the prize pool.

Contest:

If you want to get a bit more involved, you can take part in this contest, too! I have the following task for you

1. Snap a picture of your window 
2. tell me why this window needs a window star. Be creative! 
3. I will choose a winner, this is not random.
4. Please upload the picture somewhere (plenty of free sites around - photobucket is what I use) and PLEASE do not delete it until the contest is over
5. comment on this post with a link to your picture AND e-mail me to darthrosenberg@yahoo.de  and put "My Window deserves to win" in the subject line
6. You agree that I get to post your picture on my blog, wether you win or not
7. The winners name will be mentioned on my blog
8. I will add to the prize pool if I get more entries (gift certificates to my etsy shop, small window stars, small surprises)

So, because this is a bit more work, you get a bigger prize:

Both the GiveAway and the contest end on october the 3rd. Thats a sunday :-)  

I will pick a winner for the contest  and all winners names will be mentioned on my blog. All winners will be notified via e-mail

Good luck!
