Hello, dear Facebook friends!!!! Thank you for your support and friendship, and for helping BellaTwilightShop.com surpass 2100 fans on FB!!

To celebrate this milestone, we wanted to take a world tour and meet you all in person!!! But, since that plan didn’t work out, we decided to give away some free stuff in a logo photo contest instead. We can’t come to you, but you can kinda show us around your neighborhood! Here’s how it works:

1. Become a “Fan” or “Like” Bella Twilight Shop on FB.
2. Print out the logo attached to this note. Add some hearts or doodles or stickers to the page if you like. Make it your own.
3. Take the logo out on the town, and snap a photo of yourself and your friends having fun with Bella Twilight Shop! Take us to your school, your mall, your special meadow, your backyard, wherever! Be creative!
4. Upload your photos of yourself holding the Bella Twilight Shop logo, and be sure to tag yourself!
5. I will evaluate the photos, choose the winners, and send out the prizes. I’m the judge, and my decisions are final. Make me smile!
6. Maybe there should be some fine print in the rules here, but let’s just say you should use common sense and be nice. Don’t do anything dangerous or disgusting with our logo.
7. This contest is open to people in the USA, Canada, and other countries, as long as it is legal in those countries.

Prizes will include Bella Bracelet, Team Jacob Charm Bracelet, Wolf Pack Tattoo Necklace, Twilight Sweethearts Candy, Bella Twilight Shop Wristbands, Bleeding Heart Bookmark, Find Your Own Vampire t-shirt, and more!!

Good luck, and thanks again!!!!! Peace, love, Twilight!

Hello, dear friends! I’m so excited about the upcoming Vancouver Olympic Winter Games! I love snow, I love Vancouver (Hubby and I honeymooned there!), and my kids are becoming huge fans of snowboarder Shaun White. My boys, ages 10 (almost 11) and 8, think Shaun is awesome, love watching him in the halfpipe, and even want to wear t-shirts from his clothing line!

Win a shirt with this IFST logo on one side and the Coca-Cola logo on the other side!

But you don’t have to be an Olympic snowboarder to enjoy playing in the snow. Actually, you don’t even need to go outside. Want to celebrate the Winter Olympics without the risk of frostbitten extremities or slush inside your socks? Check out snowballthrowing.com, a site designed to get people excited about the Olympics and playing in the snow.

The site highlights the fun, fictional “International Federation of Snowball Throwing,” (IFST) and includes videos with information and training tips for aspiring Olympic Snowballers. In the spirit of Olympic fun, Coca-Cola is offering a few lucky readers the chance to take home an “official” IFST t-shirt or a set of 8 commemorative Beijing Olympics Coke bottles!

Win a set of 8 beautiful Olympic Coke bottles

All you have to do to enter is visit the IFST blog at snowballthrowing.com, and then come back to this post and leave me a comment about your favorite snowy-day activity!

Greetings, geeklings! I’ve been a member of Club Pogo for quite a few months now, and I recently made the acquaintance of a fellow Twilight fan on Twitter, who happens to work for Pogo. We did a fun little goodie exchange, and I sent her a Twilight shirt from Bella Twilight Shop. She surprised me with two cards for a free month of membership at Club Pogo!

Since I’m already a Club Pogo subscriber, I decided to share the fun and offer these two cards to you, my fabulous blog friends! Here’s how to enter the drawing:

Write something kind (it doesn’t have to be long or poetic) about my new Bella Twilight Shop (link to: http://bellatwilightshop.com). You might remember that I am a Twilight fanatic, and I design and make Bella’s Bracelet and other Twilight jewelry. I recently moved the shop from GeekMomMashup to its own domain, and I’d like your help in getting the word out.

Once you’ve posted a link to Bella Twilight Shop somewhere (on your blog, MySpace profile, StumbleUpon or other site), come back here and leave a comment with the location of the link. I’ll check your post and put your name in the hat. I’ll draw, notify, and announce two winners on or around June 15. If you win, I’ll e-mail you for your mailing address to send you the Club Pogo one month free membership card.

That’s it! Oh, if you aren’t familiar with Club Pogo, it’s the ad-free version of Pogo, with extra games and membership-only features. Check out the free version at Pogo.com.

Hello, friends! I’ve been working on a new project for the last month or so, and it’s now ready for action. If you’re a fan of the Twilight saga, go to Club Twilight right now and sign up!

Still here? Okay, well I’ll tell you a bit more about the development side of the Club. It’s built on Flux.com, which is a social media platform acquired by MTV Networks. It’s pretty easy on the admin side, and features a built-in content moderation process, which makes it easy to keep the Club clean. That’s important in the Club Twilight community, since membership is open to Twilighters as young as 13 years old.

Also, the Flux neighborhood is home to lots of other popular networks, including The Colbert Report, Comedy Central, The Hobbit Site, MTV, and many MANY more. Once you have a (free) Flux member account, you can use it to join all of your favorite Flux communities. That makes it easy to find new friends and share content and messages across networks.

So, if you love the Twilight books, movies, actors, photos, news and rumors, please visit Club Twilight and check it out. I’m giving away 50 free “Find your own vampire” t-shirts to some lucky Club members. Just register and upload a profile photo for a chance to win! Cheers!

By the way, I’m “Another Cullen Girl” on Club Twilight and across Flux. If you see me there, please say hi!
