Happy Blessed birthday to meeeeee (my 3rd annual #JLBbirthdaybash)

You guys! I turn another year young this month, and am celebrating with my 3rd annual birthday bash!

After searching here and there for the *perfect* things (and a bit of collaboration with some peeps), I've finally come up with what I want to share: a bunch of lovely things I know you will love to have (or even pass along to others)! I'll probably add more items over the next few weeks, so check back often!

The deets:

 * Giveaway is US only (sorry guys, but shipping).

 * Ends Sunday, October 25th at 11:59 p.m. PST

There are MANY ways to enter. Because it IS my birthday and, therefore, about me and how much I love connecting with others, I added more entry options than usual. Feel free to enter all or only one or two, if you like.

And now, a quick breakdown of the winnings:

* Living Wonders Color Art coloring book (this thing has birds, owls, lots of other animals. It totally rocks).

* The Spectacular Now DVD

* a paperback of Elsker by ST Bende

* Live Wondrously pocket journal by Hafsah / IceyDesigns

* Three lovely books/coffee/tea custom-made bookmarks by Katie / Punk Projects (notice she made the mugs as a bird, fox, and owl... I love them so much)

* A Woodland Pals sticker book

* adorable hot air balloon PostIt notes

All of which comes to a value of over $55 dollars!!!

February's #ELSKER #JLBgivesawayanINDIE has officially begun!

February's #JLBgivesawayanINDIE ELSKER photo-a-day challenge and Rafflecopter has officially begun! *passes out snicker doodles* In order to allow both US and INTL entries, S.T. has graciously offered to give away a paperback copy of ELSKER to the US winner, or if the winner is INTL, she will be giving away a paperback copy of TUR (the prequel novella to ELSKER). 

ICYMI, here's this month's photo-a-day challenge:

Feel free to participate in both the photo-a-day challenge and the giveaway, or one or the other! There are many ways to enter the Rafflecopter (including a daily free entry), so scroll down to meet S.T. Bende, author of the Elsker Saga, and then check out the Rafflecopter, below! :)

ABOUT S.T.:

Before finding domestic bliss in suburbia, S.T. Bende lived in Manhattan Beach (became overly fond of Peet’s Coffee) and Europe… where she became overly fond of McVities cookies. Her love of Scandinavian culture and a very patient Norwegian teacher inspired the books of The Elsker Saga. She hopes her characters make you smile and that one day, pastries will be considered a health food.

Find S.T. on Twitter @stbende, her blog, or send her an e-mail. While you're at it, introduce yourself to @UllMyhr -- when he's not saving the cosmos from dark elves, he loves meeting new friends . . . especially the human kind.

S.T. Bende's Norse-mythology inspired paranormal romances plant Thor, Ull, Sif, Odin, the Valkyries and the bodyguards right smack dab in the middle of the human world. Her stories have sweet kisses, mythological monsters, and swoon-worthy heroes. The first book in The Elsker Saga, ELSKER, is currently FREE on all major e-book retailers! Pull up a chair and meet the gods, and see why readers call S.T.'s stories "nearly impossible to put down!" And while you're at it, help yourself to some Norsk waffles. They are the God of Winter's favorite, after all...
