Do you recognize my gal? Last fall I discovered a great site called Design-her Gals and used their interactive gal creator to design my online persona. Since then, she has been all over the Internet, visiting blogs around the world, showing up in MyBlogLog lists, appearing in comments, and gracing forums, too.
Design-her Gals lets you create your own likeness, dress her up and then have her printed on a variety of products from stationery to invitations, t-shirts or send her as part of a custom e-card. The proceeds from Design-her Gals sales go to the Gal to Gal Foundation to benefit women diagnosed with Stage IV Breast Cancer and Breast Cancer survivors.
My latest giveaway is being sponsored by Design-her Gals!! We are giving away a gift certificate for $45 towards any of the Design-her Gals printed products.
The lucky winner will get to design their own custom business card, invitations, holiday cards, notepads, or labels. These are so unique and everyone will want to know where you got them. I created my own holiday cards last year and sent them to all my clients. I got so many compliments, it was amazing!
There’s More! Join me on a virtual walk!
Design-her Gals is making history in October as they host a the Gal to Gal virtual walk from Boston to San Francisco. I plan on being a part of it all and so can you - there is no training required!!
From their press release:
Supporters will participate in The Gal to Gal Walk by creating their virtual likeness online and then watching themselves take a virtual walk across America. The walk will commence in the Virtual World of Harvard Square in Boston, MA, and concludes on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, visiting 29 cities along the way. The landscape walkers travel through will change on a daily basis, giving people a reason to return to see where they are walking that day. New walkers will be joining all the time – sharing their stories and building momentum as more people participate in this innovative fundraising effort.
This unique approach to philanthropy has attracted strategic partners such as Yoplait, Checks Unlimited, FTD.com, Lucy and Fodor’s who have pledged to mobilize their communities to join the walk. In addition, dozens of celebrity ambassadors such as Lynn Redgrave, Kristin Chenoweth, Molly Sims, Mena Suvari, Diane Farr, Leisha Hailey, Marg Helgenberger and Jorja Fox will lend their support and participate in the virtual walk.
You can begin registering for the Gal to Gal walk on Wednesday, September 26. There is a $3 donation required for registration, but all proceeds will go toward the Gal to Gal Foundation. What a fun and unique way to raise money for a great cause.
How Do I Enter To Win The Gift Certificate?
This is easy! Enter to win the $45 gift certificate to the Design-her Gal shop by leaving me a comment below. You have to enter a valid email address in order for me to send you the gift certificate if you win. I don’t publish, sell, or subscribe you to anything with that email address. You do not need have your own web site to enter either.
You can get a bonus entry if you join me on the virtual walk! Once you have registered for the walk, stop back by and leave me a comment. I am not sure how we will be identified yet, so I may need to modify this a bit once they open registration.
You may enter to win the gift certificate from now until midnight on Wednesday, October 3, 2007. I will draw a winner at random on October 4. Good Luck!!!
UPDATED — CONGRATS TO Laura at Laura Williams Musings - you were the lucky winner!!

Oh so that’s where she came from! I had noticed her (obviously!) and had assumed you’d either got a natural design flair yourself, or had paid a fortune to have her hand-drawn for you …
Love the idea of the virtual walk. I’m so going to check that out now.
I am SO in!

I LOVE their site and this is such a neat prize! I will try to check out (and register for) the virtual walk by the end of the week. It’s a really great cause.
A friend of mine has calling cards with just her name, email and phone numbers on it to give to friends/people she meets in social settings. I love that idea and think that having a set made for myself would be a lovely luxury.

Lucy wrote @ September 26th, 2007 at 12:39 pm
I’m trying to join in the walk, but it won’t accept me because I’m not American! (Though they do say that breast cancer has no borders - sadly all too true).
I can put UK in the country code, but it won’t accept a non-US state or postcode, I can’t leave those fields blank because I get an error message, and if I put in random state/zipcode details, my credit card will fail … I’ve emailed them, and I’ll let you know if I get a reply and how to fix this. I can’t be the only non-US person who’d like to play too …

I was just telling my husband last night about how I am not crazy about this aging thing and I was wondering if I could opt out. I am assuming that virtual women don’t age so I am in!
this could be my fifteen minutes!
Oh, how cute!
Thanks for the great giveaway. I am definately into the walk! This cause is foremost on my mind. . . I just sent a card to a friend who is going through chemotherapy. Please pray for her!
Hope I win!
