Pour Your Heart Out 2nd Anniversary Prizes

I am thrilled that this week marks the two year anniversary of Pour Your Heart Out. Two years of bloggers sharing what is important to them, struggles they are going through, where they stand on important issues, when they are filled with joy: there have been some truly heart-pouring posts linked up!

To celebrate the PYHO anniversary, those of you who link up this week will be eligible for prizes! Only one post should be linked up per blog, please. There are also some prizes for those of you who participate in PYHO other ways, like commenting on posts. There’s even a prize that you can enter to win right in this post!

PYHO link up will open at 10pm ET on Tuesday, March 13th and will close at 11:59pm ET on Thursday, March 15.

Prize 1: Win a Kindle Fire! Whether you use it to read or get apps and play games or go online, one of you will win this tablet! Sponsored by How to Rock Your Blog, which launches later this month and will offer online classes for bloggers. This is Ashley and my latest project and we’d love to have you sign up for our mailing list to keep up with our class announcements(you can find it on the bottom right of our new site). You can also like us on facebook and follow us on twitter. There will be a separate entry form for the Kindle Fire- watch for it tomorrow! This will be both for those who link up for PYHO and those who simply read/comment.

Prize 2 & 3: Have you tried Eyedews yet? This single use under eye treatment will soothe and smooth your beauty woes, and relax and return you to a more energized, youthful state. Two winners will get a chance to try them out! Be sure to check them out on facebook and @eyedews.  They have a twitter party coming up on Friday 03/16 @ 4PM EST that you won’t want to miss!

Each of Alice’s bags and totes are made with reclaimed coffee bags and will have a one-of-a-kind stamp and print. Be sure to check them out on facebook and twitter, too.

Prize 9: I love Lisa Leonard Designs and this “Connected” Necklace is perfect for Pour Your Heart Out.  Though I’m going to drop major hints to Hubs that I want the Molded Heart Necklace for Mother’s Day. You can like Lisa Leonard Designs on facebook and sign up for the newsletter: they send out exclusive deals and sneak peeks! You can also use coupon code shopping20 for 20% off anything in the shop thru March 20th.

Prize 10: Did you know that it was while I was at Bloggy Bootcamp Baltimore a little over two years ago that I made the decision to go ahead and launch PYHO? In 2012, SITS Bloggy Bootcamp is making stops in St. Louis, Philadelphia, Dallas, and Las Vegas. One of you will win a conference pass to the stop of your choice! Keep in mind that this is pass only: travel expenses, etc. are up to you. Though this giveaway is in celebration of PYHO, anyone can enter!

  4. It’s been a while for me, but I always read Marti’s PYHO post. I think I’ll jump in this week (and not just for the chance at the Kindle Fire…although that would be awesome to win). I’ve had some “stuff” on my mind and need a purge. Thanks for giving us a venue.

  5. Two years you have opened your doors here …
    and your heart …
    with people from far and wide sharing their stories.
    What a blessing this little corner is to so many.  
    Thrilled to be a part of your celebrations xxx

  12. Congratulations on the #PYHO anniversary. It’s been one of my favorite linkups since I started blogging. And good luck on your new blogging education venture! You and Ashley will rock it!

  16. 2 years really??  Wow!  I have to say it’s definitely one of my favorite memes.  It’s been very therapeutic for me!  Thank you for hosting such an awesome meme!!

  17. I actually have something this week.  It will be going up tomorrow…as long as I can get it done today.  It’s something that’s going to be hard to write…both emotionally and technically.

  19. Shell, I am so proud of you. For this. For Rock Your Blog. {love the “other half media”}. For all that you do, for so many.

    LOVE!

    That fire would be a SUPAH addition to our family. And the necklace? I think it was 2 or 3 mother’s days ago, I wanted a LL necklace. Badly. So I linked Mr. Kiss – along with “you have to order by XX to get it here by M-Day!”

    Heh.

    • Thank you so much, my friend!

      I’m thinking of doing the same with hubs for mother’s day. Or just ordering it myself and telling him hey look what you got me!

  21. You are amazing. I’m so glad to have the opportunity to P(M)HO with you each week, and now to have the chance to win prizes?

    xoxo

  23. You never cease to amaze me…not only do bring women together, offer support to them, allow them to support one another, provide them a spring board for sharing and healing and finding strength but you do ALL that while being a mother, a wife, a blogger, A WOMAN…..without a cape. :O)

    And now you’re offering prizes. You have so many awesome things in the works…each one you very much deserve (times ten thousand). I wish you so much continued success with everything and thank you for paying it forward and continuing to share with US.

  24. How very awesome of you to offer gifts for participating in PYHO, since it is – all by itself – a gift to your readers.

    Thanks, Shell. You are a most special blogger.
    Really.

  25. Congratulations on your blogiversary! And thank you too, for offering so many awesome prizes. How sweet! I appreciate the inspiration to write from the heart–not just the funny stuff and cartoons I usually focus on. Thank you.

    • I just tried to comment on your latest post about Balto and blogger told me page not found. :/

  29. I’m so excited. MY PYHO this week is one I’ve been thinking of for a little while now…I hope I do this sharing justice…esp this week. Wow!!!! My friend, look at what you’ve brought to the internet and to our lives. A place to talk about the things that are sitting in our hearts…you are a wonderful conduit for our stories. I’m so happy for the success of PYHO for YOU. Xoxo

  41. Congratulations on 2 years! I love that you give us all a place to pour our hearts out weekly. This is by far one of my favorite memes in the blogosphere.

  42. Oops, well I tried to go back in to the Bloggy Bootcamp giveaway thingy and complete some more of the entries, but either it starts over every day with 12 new possible entries or it doesn’t recognize that I’ve already done a few of them. I’m new at this! Not trying to cheat!

    • I’ll go in and take a look! Will take out duplicates before I draw a winner, so no worries!

  44. I’m super excited to participate this week. I get to pour my heart out and hope for a prize. Fun stuff 🙂 And congrats on 2 years….that’s so awesome and you have created an amazing outlet for all of us to share what’s on our minds.

  45. Congrats and happy anniversary, Shell! 🙂 I was popping by to prep myself for linking up as I did a write on edge post and felt it was also PYHO related, so I wanted to double-use it. 🙂 And here’s all this fun stuff. What an incredible surprise! 

  46. So cool! I am working on my post right now for tomorrow. So happy PYHO as been everything you hoped it would be

  47. I love that connected necklace…. I am not a huge jewelry fan, but it communicates exactly what I am embracing on my PYHO this week.  So perfect…the other prizes would not be turned down either.  I’m just sayin… Shell, thanks for all your hard work when it’s your anniversary! Great fun.

  48. Doesn’t seem that Bloggy Bootcamp will -ever- come to Hawaii. *sigh* At least if I snag that ticket then I’ll probably be able to fly to the mainland to make it 😉

  49. Shell, happy anniversary and congratulations to you!  You’ve brought so much to so many through PYHO.

    Your prizes look wonderful.  I’ve got my eye on that Kindle Fire….  🙂
