GLOGIRLY DESIGN Announces Giveaway Week


Hi everyone, Katie here.

THIS JUST IN.  Glogirly and I are proud to announce the (birth?) of GLOGIRLY DESIGN.  Most cats get their jollies out of playing with stuffed mice. A select few are lucky enough to get their paws on the real deal.  But it probably comes as no surprise that MY toy of choice is Photoshop. So with the help of my reluctant trusty assistant, Glogirly, I'm helping to make the blogosphere a better looking place, one cat, one bunny and even one dog at a time. Squirrels, goats and ferrets...don't despair. I'm here for you too.

Glogirly and I just finished up an extreme blog makeover for our friend Bunny Jean Cook over at Bunny's Blog. In fact, she's running a GUEST POST BY ME on her blog today! As long as I promised not to eat any of the bunnies over there, she graciously turned her blog over to me for a day. Please stop by to see her new look and to give her some bunny-love.

Sneak Peek at Bunny's Before & After




A WEEK OF GLOGIRLY DESIGN GIVEAWAYS!
So this week, we are having a GIVEAWAY EVERYDAY...that's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. That's FIVE GIVEAWAYS for you dogs that can't count. OMC!!!  Even *I* can't believe it.

Each day we'll be featuring something SO cool, you're going to think, "OMC!  How can I possibly live without this?" There will be something for everyone. From graphic design to actual swag.  Even our friends north of the border and across the pond will have a chance to win BIG.

I'm not going to divulge the details of each day's prize yet, but suffice it to say, you WON'T want to want to miss a single day.  Especially Friday's GRAND PRIZE.  Ok, I'll give you a hint:  Extreme BM. And I'm not talking about my litter box.  Can you say Blog Makeover?


TODAY'S GIVEAWAY
Haven't you always wanted a fun profile avatar to use on Twitter, Facebook or your blog?  Well now you can win a GLOGIRLY DESIGN personalized avatar.  The winner's human will need to supply a photo of you and a couple ideas to get the design wheels turning.

Here's a few examples to whet your appetite.


The Rules

  • Leave a comment letting us know that you want to be included in today's giveaway.
  • Make sure your email address is connected to your profile, or just leave it in the comment. You can't win if we can't email you. 
  • Have you Liked us on Facebook?  Well you better! (But if you're just not a Facebook kind of kitty, that's ok...we want you to have a chance at the drawings too.)
  • This giveaway is open to anyone anywhere in the world.
  • All comment entries for all giveaways must be received by 11:59 PM CST on Saturday, July 14.
  • Winners will be notified via email and announced the week of July 15.
  • You will not be disqualified for the Grand Prize if you win another prize. 


A special note for those living outside the US and Canada

  • Some of this week's giveaways will be design-only prizes and some will be actual swag. Since we can't ship overseas, we are giving you TWO chances to win the design prizes!  
  • Just make sure we know where you live and we'll count you twice for the design drawings.

  2. This is very exciting. And I think you will be very excited when you read Pricilla's blog in the morning....

    I know Pricilla would love to enter this since I am so very helpless with Photoshop and she is a much cooler goat than I could ever make her.

  3. I am so down with this! My human does lots of stuff in Photoshop, but one thing she kind of sucks at is the cool, modern, graphic work that Glogirly does!

    You know where to find me if I win! ;-)

  4. We would LOVE to be included in the giveaway!
    Our Mommy finally got Photoshop but has yet to figure out how to make it work...

  5. I do not know. I thinking eating the bunny sounds like much more fun!

  6. You know, this is one thing that Mom Julie is pitifully poor at is how to make me look exciting, debonair and all the things a mancat should be..

    To make up for it, I'd like to be entered in your drawing for a do-dad do and a better representation of my handsomeness..*ahem*

  8. Bunny's Blog looks so cute after your makeover. We wonder if all of us would fit on an avatar?

  9. Please enter us!! We need a new avatar. And we definitely need a blog make-over. We're gonna have the mom contact you about that.

  10. How cool! Whoa! Please enter me...I'm imagining an avatar of me with a sock...or cheese...or something!

  11. I would love an avatar.. I run a blog that has shared stories of many "differently abled" cats (such as Moki, Penny, Oskar, Brother, Anakin to name a few) and I'm expanding to include other animals. I would love to have an avatar better than the one being used now.. maybe YP with cat whiskers or a paw print in the background with YP written inside since it's the initials.

  19. This is a great prize Katie, and I think you are a "hit" judging from all the comments. We'll pass on the make over for now. M is trying to learn Photoshop Elements, but she's slower than slow! Even the Book for Dummies was too complicated. ha ha

  20. Hey Callie, and everyone else too!

    You will not be disqualified for the Grand Prize if you enter and win any of the other days prizes.

  22. How neat is that! Katie, you and I have a lot in common 'cause I'm a bit of a reporter, too. Remember how I got that job with the animal shelter the peeps help? But, I'm afraid, that's where the similarities end 'cause your peeps are super good with computer stuff and whatnot and my peep is a technologically impaired duffer. I can say it 'cause it's true and I wouldn't want to be accused of lying. purrs

  23. Ooooooo!!! Please enter us! We would love to have a blog makeover, Meowm is useless in this area!

  27. Wooo-hoo! Mom doesn't even have photoshop in her puter. I would probably starve if she had it. She would be photoshopping away all day!
    But I do envy the results. And dream....

  45. We don't have a blog so we don't need a make-over, but we love the new bunny page look. The green is so nice and soothing. Didn't you also redesign the Housecat Confidential blog? We love that one too!
    PS. I do miss the picture of Glogirly strangling, I mean with her hands around your shoulders.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Wow, your new stuff is just THE COOLEST! If we could design like you, we wouldn't have to shuffle and jive to get an extra bit of sumthin' in our bowl.... Hey! Can we get a little tuna over here!

    oops sorry, We would love to win,win,win!
