I've decided to do a proper giveaway!!! I will be giving away 3 $10 gift cards to Amazon.com!!!! You will get to buy the book of your choice that way! I was going to giveaway some books but I realized that deciding what one's to giveaway was more difficult than I thought! So 3 gift cards instead!!!
So all I ask of you is:
1. Follow me (Which I know all of you do!!!) New or Old: +2 entries
2. Blog about it (Just a small little shout out) +3 entries
3. Sidebar it (This is one of my favorites!!!) +5 entries
4. Tweet about it +3 entries
5. Comment +2(I am thinking something random!! Make it fun! First thing that comes to mind!)

How fun! Happy Birthday early! I think I will have 10 points. I will blog about it tomorrow and put on my sidebar:) How did you get 300 in two months. I am impressed. You rock Jen!
Thanks!
I have no idea Christine!!! It's amazing, I feel so loved!! Thanks for signing up & Good Luck!
From Phantom to Spartan--your sidekick rocks!
Wow Jen that's incredible! Congratulations!! I'll have +10 points when I get everything up on my blog.
Happy birthday! I'm already a follower and I will put your contest into a sidebar on my blog. So I think that gives me 7 points.
Happy birthday early. I'll be unplugging for a couple of weeks. To make sure everything is on go as I start querying.
I love ya girl. Oh, before I leave I'll blog the contest, sidebar the contest and you know, I'd follow you anywhere. Sorry I haven't been by as much. All that will change when I start querying. And working on my next one.
So ten big points for MOI. (^_^)
Yay for contests!!! And yay for all of those followers!!! Happy Birthday, too! It's just a big celebration!
I'll add your contest to my sidebar tonight! Yay!!!
Thinking of your birthday after reading your blog the last two months made me wonder, do each of your characters in your book that you are working on have birthdays? If so, when are they? Do they have birthdays that they hate because they are too close to Christmas and eveyone always tries to just give them one gift? Was their birthday in the summer growing up and they never got to celebrate it with their classmates in school? Were they always the youngest or oldest in their class because of when their birthday fell? Or were they like you or me whose birthdays fall in March and April and the only thing you have to worry about is every 5 or 8 years having your birthday near Easter when at least you might have had the excuse to wear a very flowerly dress on your birthday?
Happy Birthday, 2 points for following, 3 points for blogging about it (i'll give you a shout out), and any extra points you want to share!!!!!
Happy Birthday! Congrats, too, on all the followers. What a great contest, thanks:)

-My random comment is that I really have an ambition to go to Scotland before I die, simply because who else really wants to go there. Its usually France, or Germany... I feel bad for the neglected Scotland.

You are a blogging queen! Happy birthday.
Oh yeah, I love him as Phantom and as Spartan! Happy, happy birthday, and thanks for the eye candy!
I just tweeted it. :)
I already follow and have a sidebar post. that gives me +7.
My random thought is that I "met" my WIP's protagonist when I was your age, but shelved the novel idea till I was 38; I focused on poetry writing in those intervening years.
Well, Congrats and Happy Birthday!!!!
I am jealous - 2 months and so well you have done! :) Congrats!
Random thought - I heard from a coworker there is still snow an hour up the road in the mountains. I would like to go get a picture of the small stream and small (very small) waterfall with a winter scene to it. I think I am going to run out of time to get there though.
I would like to enter your contest.

Congrats on your 325+ followers and wishing you a perfect day!
I am totally impressed. I've been blogging for about 9 months and thought I was doing good at almost 100 followers! Great job.
commenting and following.
Happy birthday! I am follower #330! :D I followed a link from another blog, and I'm looking forward to reading what you have to say.
Hi Jennifer. Congratulations on so many followers! I'm quite proud to be your 333rd.
I don't tweet and my blog is only for one specific purpose so I can't blog about you but I will definitely link to your blog on my sidebar.
Feel free to return the favor.
300 in two months is fast. At that rate you'll have like 2000 or something in a year. Awesome.
