February is here. I love the month of February!

I especially love Valentine's Day! I love making Valentine's Day cards, I love exchanging them, I love all the chocolate involved (hint hint)...  I love the giving aspect of this holiday!

For this reason I've decided to start a 14 Day February Challenge.  One Click A Day can go such a long way!

It's difficult to give when times are rough.  This challenge, however, doesn't require the use of your wallet.  By merely pressing a button, you're helping make a difference!  isn't that something?!?  I hope you'll join me in spreading the love!

I've made a spiffy little button. My button will link you to a special page where I've collected buttons that when clicked on daily, donate various items for various causes.

To accept the Click A Day Challenge, here's what you'll need to do.

1. Commit to clicking some or all of those buttons for fourteen days in the month of February.  Choose the ones that are important to you or choose different ones each day.  I have no way of tracking you, so it's on your honor.  Do as many as you can!  Some of them are also fun and instructive!  Linking them to your page directly is okay too.  As long as you're clicking them daily for at least 14 days.


2. Then, at the end of the month, if you've completed your commitment, let me know and you'll be entered into a drawing for prizes. 


3. You can show your commitment by blogging about the challenge and by sending me your link to stanle17y {at} gmail {dwot} com (or click E-mail Me on my sidebar).  If you don't have a blog, just send me your name, a valid e-mail address, and your commitment.  I will add you to the list.  That's the beauty about this challenge.  You don't need an online presence.  All you need is internet service and a mouse.

Get others to join in too. The more the lovelier. Just for committing to do this, I will enter you into a separate drawing to win a $10 GC to Target.

That's right!  There are two drawings; one for your initial commitment (which will be drawn in the middle of the month) and one for actually meeting the 14 day goal of one click a day (to be drawn at the end of the month)!

Since I just thought this up, I am still working on sponsors for the prizes.
(Please e-mail me if you'd like to donate some prizes!)


Here's a list of some awesome prizes:

• A 100% organic cotton Obama T-shirt (L)  donated by MommyWizdom


• A set of 12 photograph cards donated by Heather at Sentimental Journey - Etsy Store
  
Photograph cards are my favorite because they are not gender specific; they are great pick-me-ups for both the men and women in your life.
Please check out her Etsy store, she's a truly talented mommy.  Also, check out her blog.


• $50 gift certificate to CreatedByMom.com donated by the owner, Quinn Curtis
  CreatedbyMom is an amazing concept.  It's a store with products strictly made by moms!  There are gifts here for everyone.  Please check out the behind the scenes CreatedbyMom blog for more information about this wonderful chic boutique!

Below is the button information.  I don't claim to be a graphic artist, so if you'd like to embellish my button, feel free.
I only ask that you maintain the content intact.

To copy the button, simply copy the code and paste it into your html editor of choice (side bar, blog post, or web page).

To summarize:  Commit to One Click A Day for at least 14 days.  This means you go to this site each day for at least 14 days in February and click on as many buttons as you're willing.    Blog about it.  Send me your link.  Get entered into a drawing for your commitment.  Get entered into a second drawing for completing your commitment at the end of the month.  It's a win-win situation!

if you still have questions, please contact me...I would love for you to join in!!

I am very excited about this challenge!  My hope is that in the process, we will all get into the habit of clicking these buttons daily on our own.

If you know of other organizations that have similar buttons that I've missed, please let me know so I can add them. 

Many thanks to my sponsors, supporters, and promoters!!   I really, really appreciate you!!

Happy clicking and Happy February!!   Let's get started, every day counts!!
