What would you do if a hotel just GAVE you 100 rooms for 2 nights for you to invite all of your friends?  Can you think of friends or family that you’d like to invite?  Could you imagine how cool of a reunion or “bloggy” meetup that would be?

Well, Hampton IS!  Right now, they’re having a grand giveaway with the following prizes:

• GRAND PRIZE:  Entire hotel for a weekend (100 rooms for 2 nights)
• 100 FIRST PRIZES:  Weekend stays given away daily to winner and 3 of their friends

Could you imagine how awesome that would be?  I think I could easily fill those rooms with blogging friends to have one HUGE FREE conference of sorts!  Heck yeah!  Vacations are important – but to think about meeting up again (and some for the first time) with some of my favorite online people to just relax, grow friendships, and learn from each other?

I could also imagine an entire hotel FILLED with military husbands and wives…getting to take a “break” for free.  –Something that doesn’t always get to happen with “no strings attached.”

The grand prize is out of this world, but I’d even love to win one of the 100 first prizes – How much I’d love to just be able to get away with my husband for one weekend…just us.  With all of the military training and upcoming obstacles we’ve been planning for (and still are), it’d be a NICE distraction and period of R&R (Rest and Relaxation).

So, now it’s your turn.  Use your imagination.  What would you do?  Have a cool party?  Reunion?  Travel somewhere new?  Wedding?  Anniversary Party?  Surprise party?  Craft-a-long!!!  Scrapbook!?  Heck, it doesn’t matter…I’m sure you’ll figure it out (and if you can’t, let me go!)  Go, enter here!

I have a special little guy that’s near to my heart who’s birthday is TODAY!  His party was “secret agent” themed….so I made him this:

The journal/spy notebook has a special birthday wish, as well as what each and every one of the contents is for.

Evidence bags – to collect evidence

Candy – You know, for when you’re on an extra long mission and you need to keep your sugar up.  It’s a necessity.

Sticky Notes – To leave people impromptu notes or to remind oneself of something very important.

Super Secret Pen – The pen doesn’t work (which I tell him in his journal).  Therefore, nobody will steal it.  It’s a chubby pen, so when he takes it apart, he can hide money or secret letters inside.  Inside this particular pen is a dollar bill waiting for him to find.

Mini and Large Brush – For dusting the fingerprinting dusting powder onto fingerprints for collecting

Fingerprinting Dusting Powder – (see above)

String – To “rope” off areas or to create booby traps or to tie up offenders.  Really, the uses are endless.

T-Shirt – To be worn all incognito-like so he can blend in AND roll in the dirt ALL. DAY. LONG.

Silly String – To stun the “bad guys”
