The final week before Halo 3 is happily spinning away in our disc trays is finally upon us. To keep busy during these last seven days, I have chosen an activity to complete each day. I will have an article detailing my adventures along with all applicable pictures every day for the next week. I hope some of you will do these things with me! (I will add your images to my article if you leave a link to the picture of your final product in a comment.)
I also wanted to use this week to thank all of you that are kind enough to stop by my blog on a regular basis. I don’t use advertisements or make any money through this site so while I can’t give you all something totally awesome and expensive, I did want to do something small. I have been busy crafting various things so I can give away a cute video game-themed gift each day. All you have to do to enter each day’s giveaway is leave a comment on that particular article. While only one comment per article will count towards the giveaways, you may enter each day if you like. Winners will be randomly drawn. I would imagine your chances of winning something are pretty good!
Here is the agenda for each day for the following week (activities taken from 7 Halo-Related Activities to Do Before 9.25.07) :
Tuesday, 09.18.07
Activity – Photoshop a picture of yourself with Master Chief.
Giveaway – Magnum Halo Pick-Up Line card (front, inside)

I am so excited for this last week before Halo 3! All of these activities will be a blast to do and I just can’t wait to give some of you these things I have been making. Each day for the next week the morning article will be featuring the preselected activity, and the afternoon article will be the giveaway (including details behind the items I crafted). I hope to see you each day this week!

Excellent! This sounds like fun, and I might actually win something! YAY!

Haha zoomie, may I win over everyone’s hearts? lol
So, I don’t have to do these things right, well I did the first one… I just dont have the time to do all that. Something called college. I hear they give homework :P
Nice idea on the giveaways, I wonder what you would give away?
I can sponsor for you if you like a 48 hour xbox live gold trial card… if you want it, ill send you the code. I don’t think I’m going to ever be using it, since Silvercube does not expire until May 2009- and my other account CB Firefly- I might cancel it- depending all on Halo 3.
Anyways, 7 days…. the excitement is building up..
and I’ll just say this to get it out of the way(in a kosher way)
Halo-gasm!!!!!
lol
hi angel!! *waves back

Lol!!
I just noticed that you did write what the giveaways are!!
Silly Silver- I swear I did not see them before!
Its like the Magic Eye books…
anyways, if you still want the trial code, I’d still be happy to give it to you : )

What is Halo 3?
Posted by bs angel on September 17, 2007 at 10:22 am
The awesomeness of Halo 3 made the 19th disappear from existence. LOL … Thanks for the catch! I need to stop blogging at 2 in the morning.
Yay!

For some reason I didnt realize its only 7 days. I thought I had more time. Halo 3 is sneeking up on me. I would love to win some of these great hand crafted Halo gifts. You made some cool stuff.

I took those pictures in the middle of the night last night, which is why they turned out so poorly. I am going to take some new ones this afternoon so each day’s giveaway article will hopefully have a much better picture. There are lots of little details in there that you can’t see. Like on the Cortana card, her eyes are jewels!

Posted by bs angel on September 17, 2007 at 2:33 pm
I did! And I wrote you back already as well. : )
Feel free to send any pics with your projects to my contact form. If I receive it before I publish that article, I’ll get it in before publication. If you leave it in a comment, I’ll edit it into the article as soon as I see it!
