I will send your information out to the sponsor and hopefully you’ll hear back from them soon. Congratulations on getting your new custom letterheads!

Congrats again, girls!

It’s been awhile since I’ve hosted a contest, but I was recently approached to hold a few and so I’m coming back to blogging with a great chance for you to win some custom letterheads from the awesome folks over at UPrinting!

Come back April 23rd to find out who the winner is!

I lied when I said I’d be right back. But for a good reason! I currently have 17 (SEVENTEEN!) posts in the wings waiting to be published, but I have yet to find time to actually edit any of them. This is because Snailbird is getting a massive content re-haul and a slightly smaller re-alignment of its design. Things are going to be more blog-oriented with a focus on green lifestyles, independent artists, local musicians, organic arts and crafts, eco tips, and more! We’ve always been a little green around the edges, but now we are really going to really give it our all. Just wait and see!

If you’re still itching for some of my writing (aw, shucks!), I can still be found blogging weekly with our team at I Love Rescue Animals and usually once a week over at Fuel Your Illustration, and of course, you can always find me messing around on twitter. Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about this blog. It’s going to be exploding with new ideas soon. Keep checking back!

BREAK! I shall be scarce from the web this week as I prepare for BlogPaws 2010 West, a conference that has all to do with pet bloggers and celebrating the love for our furry friends. This is the second conference and this time I will doing a presentation about some tips and tricks for basic WordPress design. I’ll make sure to make it available after the conference. Ash and I are representing I Love Rescue Animals and will be gone from Thursday to Sunday to beautiful Denver, CO. Until then, we’ll be running around trying to get everything done and prepared in time for us to make our flight. We’ll get back on the normal blogging schedule on Monday. Be well, all!

Updated 9/16/10: We made it back from Colorado safe and sound, but the BlogPaws buzz has not died (and I have not had a chance to catch up on blogging here). I will write about it here next week after my life gets back to normal (and I catch up on emails and projects), but for now, please head over to the I Love Rescue Animals blog and read about our journey and all the people we met. It was incredible. Thank you to all who support our group and our mission!
