I came across this wonderful contest with a grand prize of an eco trip up for grabs and would like to participate in it but unfortunately, it is only open to legal residents of the 50 states of the United States of America. Anyhow, even though I am not eligible to participate, you could try your luck.

Besides the grand prize of an eco trip which includes airfare for one person, the is the first prize of a Nintendo Wii system, and the game for Wii, Endless Ocean, a second prize of a Nautica watch, third prize of a$100 gift certificate to Nautica.com and a Nautica rope bracelet.

Even though one may not be lucky enough to win the grand prize, all these prizes look attractive enough to me. What do you think? Are they worth your time?

I was surfing around looking for new iPhone skins for my iPhone when I came across this highly unlikely website that offers free iPhone skins! It’s called Mac DVD, a website that reviews Mac DVD rippers and video converters for Mac.

Anyway, there is a huge collection of iPhone skins here on Mac DVD and having played around with iPhone skins extensively for the past couple of weeks I could recognize some of them that have been sourced from other websites.

On the other hand, even though I have tried on so many iPhone skins lately, there are still some gems that could be found here on Mac DVD! Check them out. You would be surprised by the extent of this collection!

Free Download & Print Paper Craft

I was quite lucky to stumble upon this blog called Lolly Chops. The writer has so kindly offered a variety of printable crafts for us to download, print and fold accordingly. There are many items available from gift packaging, gift tags, gift paper, note cards, recipe cards, labels, tags, etc, just to name a few.

All of these are original designs created by the author herself and I am so envious of her creativity! If I could do this half as well as her, I would be very happy. Still, I feel very happy just browsing through the stuff that are available here.

Do keep in mind though that these are all printer ink intensive! If you are going to print these out, you may as well invest on good quality paper and ink so that you don’t waste your resources. Enjoy!

Free Portrait Illustration Maker

I was just hopping from one website to another when I came across a mention of Portrait Illustration Maker. I don’t even recall which site mentioned it but I was curious enough to check it out. I am so glad that I did!

What Portrait Illustration Maker does is simple enough. You just mix and match their huge selection of skin colour, hairstyle, mouth, eyes, hand, eyewear, background, etc, to create your very own personalized avatar that you could use on our blog or website.

Actually, this isn’t something new if you have play some games before. The only game that is similar to this that I could think of right now is Sorority Life, which I play on Facebook. Anyway, if you are creating your own avatar with Portrait Illustration Maker, perhaps you would like to share your end result with us!

Quality iPhone Apps For Free

After a long hiatus from playing around with my iPhone and the vast array of apps, especially free iPhone apps, I had the chance to mess around with my iPhone over the long Spring Festival holiday and discovered some pretty neat iPhone apps from this developer whose website is called “Free The Apps”.

Right now, there six free iPhone apps in their inventory and I have downloaded and played with a few of them already. I find them all very useful but most importantly, very easy to use. If you know me, you would know that I am not a very technical person and I don’t like to face challenges. I would rather uninstall the app! LOL

Anyway, if you are in the mood to play with iPhone apps, you should check out the quality apps that “Free The Apps” has to offer.

Download Green Minimalist Icon Set

I have been searching all over the web for icon sets that I could incorporate in my iPhone skins that I am building. Some icon sets are only for personal use so I couldn’t make use of them. Don’t get me wrong, my iPhone skins are also free to download but I am not sure if personal use means that I am not supposed to distribute them in a different form.

Anyway, in my search, I chanced upon this really neat green icon set. It is in minimalist style and very clean looking. The best this is that from what I understand, we can use this icon set on the web or even in apps. I think I can use them in my iPhone skin too.

If you are going to use this, perhaps you can drop a comment here to let me know what you are using it for!

Win Hitachi X-TEND External Drive

As a web mistress and an avid photographer, I run out of hard disk capacity pretty quickly. It seems that no matter how large my hard disks are, they fill up pretty quickly. Perhaps another contributing factor is all the files that I download.

Well, if you are like me and if you live in Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand or India, this is a chance for you to win a Hitachi X-TEND external drive. I did not notice what capacity the prize will be (let’s hope for 500GB!) but this is a lucky draw. As long as you play and complete the simple matching game within the stipulated time frame, you would be eligible to participate.

From what I could tell, daily winners are determined via a lucky draw so virtually everyone stands an equal chance of winning. I hope I win too!
