*closed* Mixbook.com Photobook Give Away

July 15, 2011 By 21 Comments

mixbook photobooks 2

Some of you might already know that I am a huge fan of MIXBOOK.com- I know that a lot of you ladies are already as well, because when MIXBOOK.com gave away a free hardcover photobook WITH free shipping, the site was crashed!

Here is why I like this website:

I have NO patience. Nill. Nada. Zilch.

If your website says “create easily a photobook” I don’t want to have to hunt for the info!

MIXBOOK.com has managed to put together an extensive program that enables me to personalize as much and spend as much (or little) time as I want on making a book. I choose a book, a theme, pictures or automix, maybe add a little text, some deco. Badda-bing. Done.

Naturally, I have spent hours on my books, just because it was so much fun.

The function where you can invite contributors is really great. If you had an event with several photographers you can invite them to add photos and therefore make sure you are including ALL photos to make an even more comprehensive and phenomenal book.

Though the name MIXBOOK might be misleading you can create so much more that just books. Calendars, cards, announcements, invites….

Mixbook supports our military members with this exclusive discount :

20% off discount: Code – MLTRY20
No expiration date, but it can only be used once per customer.

Use it!

Now, to the fun part:

GIVE AWAY!

What: 2 (!) lucky ladies will receive a code for complimentary 20-page,

11×8.5 landscape, hardcover photo book with free Domestic Ground shipping

Start: 7/15/2011

End: 7/23/2011

HOW:

One Entry: *subscribe AND confirm by email (see upper right box on this website)

One Entry: leave a comment below and tell us how for whom you would use the the free code.

One Entry each tweet:

*Any of these:

  • Follow @mildutystations great information for your next pcs on militarydutystations.com #mixbookgiveaway

FREE Hardcover Photobook by MIXBOOK.COM

June 29, 2011 By Leave a Comment

FREE! Who DOESN’T like that?

I used Mixbook.com this past Christmas and loved the ease of use, the awesome layouts and the quality of the books. I think I ordered 8?!

Anyway – Long story short you have to hurry because this offer ends 11:59PM PST on June 30th, 2011

What exactly do you get?

One free 11×8.5″ landscape hardcover photo book plus shipping will be given away per customer

The code went live at 4:00PM PST 6/29/2011 and lasts until 6/30 – 2011 11.59pm PST.

It’s not a gimmick and Mixbook.com only has this offer for a short time.

Since time is tight use their autofeature, where you only have to upload your photos, choose a layout and click autoload and voila, your book is done!

The clock is clicking! Get yours!

I have added some excerpts out of my books here below to show you what YOUR books could look like – even if you are not talented at all like me!

UltraHD FlipCam Winner Announced

March 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment

winner of Flipcam give awayOn February 13th I kicked off another year of military relocations with the give away of  a Ultra HD flipcam.- courtesy of USAA.  A wonderful tool to record your household goods inventory and do even a little blogging?  I am sorry that the conclusion of this give away took a little longer than anticipated, as the family moved into permanent housing. Trying to find everything has been a bit of a challenge.

My goal was to reach one 100 entries and I was very close to my goal. Thank  you very much for all the participants in this give away.

I have received a total of 91 entries of which 3 were invalid as they contained only an email address. We have had several entries that were excellent and extensive in their description and advise for various duty stations. I will add those reviews to militarydutystations.com as well as feature them on my blog.

Without further ado I will announce the winner…..and the winner is: #54 Leslie Mitchley

Congratulations, Leslie!

Winner of the flipcam giveaway

December 23rd:Sustainable Living Book GiveAway

December 23, 2010 By 6 Comments

48 things to know about sustainable living

You have met Victoria Klein in a give away on December 20th, where she graciously is giving away her book: 27 Things to know about Yoga. With seemingly endless energy and like an idea factory, she has produced 2 books within a short time.

This book, however, struck a nerve. Being German and having grown up with recycling deeply seeded in my life, I not only agree but also applaud Victoria to this book. This will jump start your eco friendly life, which will help preserve a world for your children and their children. Read her article where she compares organic cotton to conventional cotton in Readymade Magazine.

Victoria Says:

“Our spouses (Marine Corps wife here) have chosen a career where they risk their lives
fighting for the safety & security of our country and, in conjunction, the rest of the world.
At home, we “hold down the fort”, managing money, raising a family, doing regular
chores … etc. While all military spouses should be applauded for their housekeeping
efforts, I’m often struck with the feeling that I should be doing more to make this world a
better place, like my husband is doing.

Climate change & energy efficiency have been popular topics in modern culture for over
a decade. The health of our planet is a vital part of the safety & security for the nation
and the human species. The military is taking notice, with each branch investigating &
implementing new “green” policies, both in the field & on bases around the world. As
citizens & spouses of the best fighting force on the planet, we are in a perfect position to
drive change, leading by example & direct actions.

While debates over the best course of action continue to rage on, there is one thing
we can agree on: sustainably can seem expensive, difficult, and downright confusing.
Not anymore! My 2nd book, 48 Things to Know About Sustainable Living is your one-
stop guide to all the basics of living a more environmentally-conscious life. From food,
clothing, and school supplies to appliances, transportation, and hobbies, sustainable
options are more plethoric than ever.

No matter your budget or housing situation, living a conscious, sustainable life is within
the reach of each & every one of us. The first step is to gather information, and 48 Things
to Know About Sustainable Living will give you everything you need (saving you time,
which we could all us more of). One thing we need to remember: start small. Any &
every change that benefits our environment is worthwhile. You don’t have to transform
your entire life in one day (the military is good at doing that for us), but we all need to
start somewhere.

Bio: Victoria Klein is a freelance writer, photographer, and creative dabbler. Along with
a regular yoga practice & running regimen, you’ll find her reading, cooking, baking,
bicycling, contemplating new tattoos, learning how to be a military wife, and looking
for more ways to live sustainably. She’s the author of 2 books, 27 Things to Know About
Yoga & 48 Things to Know About Sustainable Living.”
