Get ready to PAR-TAY at Buttercup's 2nd Birthday Blog Bash!

Hi peeps!

I'm getting ready for Buttercup's second birthday on June 12 and thought now would be a good time to start generating some interest for the Bloggy Birthday Bash I plan on throwing as part of the fun.

Remember last year's event? With the help of generous sponsors, Berrie Sweet Picks was able to gift bloggy party-goers with over $500 in prizes! Who wants in on the fun this year?

I'd love to hear from PR reps and business owners representing birthday-related review items for all ages/and or suggestions for prizes for the party, which is scheduled for June 12 through June 19. I'm also looking for a birthday blog button to be designed, as well as an official party sponsor to donate a variety of prizes, including a grand prize, in exchange for exposure for your company or business in each party blog post.

So who's in? Email me at berriesweet.info@gmail.com for details! And hope to see you all there!

Looking for a sponsor

Listen up dear readers! I take my blog seriously. And when a sponsor pulls a no-show on a promised prize, I do everything in my power to make sure that my winner gets their item (or something to make up for it.)

And luckily, I've only had one instance before this one where I had to step in. It was easily resolved and my winner remains a happy returning reader.

This time, however, I'm at a loss for what to do. Without giving away the company who is giving us the cold shoulder, I will say that one unhappy mommy reader has remained prizeless while my emails to said company have remained unanswered. It's inexcusable, and I won't be "doing business" with this company again.

I would, however, like to ask if any business owners or PR reps for mom and baby-related blogs would like donate a prize, no matter how small, to the mom who is still waiting for the postal-worker to show up. I will accept email at berriesweet.info@gmail.com for 7 days and provide those of you interested in making a certain mommy happy with the correct shipping address.

Thanks to everyone in advance and I'll be back today with another contest.

Who wants to be my Berrie Sweet sponsor?

I wanna go.

And I wanna go baaaad.

I wanna be able to put this button here on my blog and announce to the world that I am going to be attending the sweetest bloggy party out there and mingling with the best of the best in Lady Blogdom.

But without the help of a fantabulous company willing to sponsor my berrie poor booty for plane, hotel, and convention fees, I'll just be here all alone sitting on the sidelines. (And if you are extra fantabulous, you would also graciously offer to book a plane seat for Buttercup, who has been an awesome bloggy toddler and donated her time on countless ocassions for mommy to use her as my review child. Hey, I'm just sayin'!)

I know that companies read my blog because of all the great product review requests I receive, and I know that those reading value my opinion and like what I have to say because they keep coming back and bringing their friends with them...

So really, you could consider me an investment.

And in return for your sponsorship, I'd become your best advertisement and talk up your product and company to anyone I meet at BlogHer!

Hi, my name is Pauline and I love (insert your company name here.) They not only make the best (insert product name here) I have ever tried, but they also sponsored by BlogHer trip! Can you believe it?

...or something along those lines!

I'll also have a kickin' button made up to display on all my BlogHer related posts pimping your company out as the bestest ever, and dedicate multiple posts to tell my readers about you and your company. And if you want me to wear your logo on anything other than a tattoo, Butterup and I will gladly oblige. Just email me at berriesweet (dot) info (at) gmail (dot) com and we can talk about what I can offer your company as your BlogHer spokesblogger!

Yes, I know, I have no shame. But it's part of the reason you all love me!

There...that's really all I can say for now. So I'm just gonna sit back and wait for my inbox to get flooded with offers from hundreds of companies wooing me to choose them as my sponsor. (Hey, a mom blogger can dream can't she?)
