   Add your guess(es) to one of your actual blog posts or make a separate blog post, it's up to you and add a link back to her Giveaway post.
   Comment on her Giveaway post with the link to the post of your guess(es).
3. The three entries with the closest guess will win the following prizes:
   
   
   1st Prize - 25.000 EC credits
