Well, we broke up with our old blog today for a taller, darker, more handsome one. Call us ruthless, but we couldn't help it. We fell in love.
Can you detect the brand-spanking-new blog smell?! I love it. :)
I have to tell you - I get excited pretty easily. Like, for instance, if I happen to catch an episode of Law & Order: SVU that isn't a rerun, or if Chick-fil-A gives me an extra nugget which brings my 8-count to a 9-count, or if I happen upon the perfect sundress, on sale, only in my size. I'm wired to get stoked about little things. So you can imagine what my enthusiasm looks like for big things. We're talking huge-smile-someone-hand-me-a-party-hat thrilled.
This is a big thing.
Lucky for you all, I also start feeling especially generous when I get excited. (side note: Christmas is my favorite holiday - just envision what my bank account looks like on December 26th after my generosity has collided with my high excitement level. It's kind of ridiculous.)
So we're running an awesome new blog : launch party contest! Since every post looks prettier with some color, check out the details below:
So here's more of the scoop:
Twitter has redefined social networking. People can "tweet" status updates (in 140 characters or less) from their phone or computer, allowing people who "follow" them (friends, family, fans...stalkers :)) to keep track of their day-to-day thoughts and activities.
Starks Photography is on Twitter (look up in the top right hand area! :)) - follow us so we can connect! I promise we lead interesting lives at least 64% of the time.
We like that Twitter provides an outlet for expression. And we like love. That's why we're running this contest. In true Twitter fashion, we want you to "tweet" your thoughts or feelings about love (following the rules above) through a comment on this post. There are no boundaries to this - it can be a thought, a definition, an experience - anything! Just be honest and creative. We can't wait to see what you guys come up with!
You're probably thinking - hello, Amy - this is a contest...where's the prize?? I gotcha covered. In addition to Twitter, we also love music.
In order to stay true to the theme of our contest, we compiled 20 of our favorite "love" songs in a playlist on iTunes. After we select a winner, we'll buy the playlist, and e-mail it over to you!
Gentlemen, don't let this discourage you from entering - Ben had a hand in the selections, and we promise that they aren't too terribly sappy. On the other hand, even if they are, how much of a stud would you be if you won them for your lady? Major points.
Single or skeptical friends, don't be hindered either - we realize that the idea of "love" is pretty broad, so we were sure to be conscious of that when making our choices. :)
(*Note: You do NOT have to have a Twitter account for this contest - we're simply using the concept of Twitter. However, it is pretty cool, so you may want to check it out. :))
So after you leave your comment for a chance to score free jams, take some time to check out our new blog home! Some highlights: the about section (get to know us!), preferred wedding vendors, BlogShow (the coolest way to post a series of images), fabulous flash header, and a place to shoot us a message! We're going to be posting lots of awesomeness on a much more consistent basis, so be sure to check back often! Oh, and if you feel so inclined, leave comments. We heart feedback. :)
Ok, I think I've reach my quota of :)'s today, so I'm going to bring this to a close. Launch party : new website! will be happening in the very near future with another chance to win some serious swag - get pumped!
