Thank you for stopping by my online store blog here at Happy Panda. I’m your prize coordinator Pamela Kramer. When I’m not working with the twins I’m promoting my clothing line. My brand Happy Panda offers tagless baby clothing Made in The USA. We are honored to be included in this book Made Here, Baby! by Bruce Walk along with other companies that are safely made in the USA. We currently entered in the first annual 2009 StartupNation Leading Moms in Business competition! If would like to cast a vote our way please click here! With Blogher ‘09 coming in July to Chicago I have set up a post for those who have tickets and still looking for sponsorship here. Good Luck!

Now about these prizes. There are well over 300 prizes to give out. I haven’t counted exactly how many there are it could be 400. I’m throwing out a ball park figure here. The UBP ‘09 will run for one week, from Friday, March 20, 2009 to Friday, March 27, 2009. The prizes will be announced on Tuesday, March 31th. It’s going to be an amazing week! I would like to extend a special THANK YOU to all of the sponsors. You have each been a pleasure to work with and I look forward to more opportunities in the future.

We hope you will have time to browse around our store. If you see something you like add it to your Wishpot list! We are offering prize #3 - three winners will receive a $25 gift certificate each.

*I’m no longer accepting prizes, Thank you!*

I’ve been organizing and coordinating with sponsors from January 29th up to midnight the day of the party. I have posted new prizes but those were already in my inbox when the 5 Minutes for Mom site crashed. I was asked to wait to post until everything with the reboot was ok. March 21st, I will be celebrating my 11th wedding anniversary and afterward I will begin sorting all the prizes and then begin distributing them for another week. Thank you for your patience and please feel free to host your own prizes on your party posts! Good Luck to you all. Sponsors can join in the prize drawings as well. Please remember to leave a comment here in order to be in the main prize drawing. Prizes are here! I can’t correct Mr. Linky. If you make a mistake please contact 5 Minutes for Mom directly.

BlogHer ‘09 In Real Life

BlogHer ‘09 is going to be one heck of a conference for bloggers. It’s like the super bowl of blogging events! It’s where you can finally match the faces with the blogs. There are many bloggers out there looking for sponsors. In an effort to match up companies that would like to sponsor bloggers I’m going to provide this Mr. Linky! Bloggers if you are looking for sponsorship please sign in so that companies can find you. If you have a post that provides information that would be great! Let companies know what you can do for them. Good Luck and Happy Blogher ‘09!

***Update*** We have just heard that the tickets for BlogHer ‘09 are all sold out! Here is a link to the waiting list. The Blogher ‘09 Business for Thursday still has tickets available. If you have a ticket and still need sponsorship make sure you sign Mr. Linky. Create a post so companies can find you. Good Luck and Happy Blogher ‘09 to those of you lucky enough to have tickets!
