sponsor appreciation event!

SPONSOR

Happy Monday! I am ready for a fresh start this week! I can hardly believe that this is the last week of Feb…time just flies.

Today is a very special day… it’s my offical “Blog Sponsor Appreciation day!"

the internet, and blogs and all the fancy technology that we come to rely on allows all of us amazing opportunities! I am constantly amazed and inspired by people that I run across their websites and blogs… the problem is – even if you have something cool, and amazing to sell, share or promote… HOW do you get that info out to people?  I think that ‘blog-vertising’ is an awesome tool for people who are trying to get the word out about their cool sites! I personally LOVE to click through ads that are on my favorite blogs. It’s a way that I keep an eye on trends, get inspired and find some cool deals on cool stuff- but without those ads, I never would have knows about that stuff!

Today, I have invited each of my blog sponsors to share a little tid-bit about themselves that is exciting about what they have going on RIGHT NOW… and even invited them to offer my blog readers a little something SPECIAL.. it might be a free gift with purchase…or extra discounts! So if you have been contemplating a purchase…NOW’s the TIME!!

ok, so these are not the best photos i have ever taken in my life! but... i did whip up another one of my 'sweetie' mini-books so that i could photograph the process... i walked through this little darlin during Wednesday's webshow ... so if you still are wondering... you may want to check out the recorded version. i LOVE how easy it is, and how QUICK it is... and well... i LOVE the ruffles!! so think of this as a little class in a blog!
i hope you ENJOY! and make YOUR sweetie a little book!

***i need to clarify, i've had a slew of emails... the "Sweetie Book" is a downloadable, printable, PDF set of files. There are a total of 10 pages in the kit- each of the sheets have mini 6" pages as well as 'extra' bits and pieces. this is a little peek of what the pages look like: ...it's an awesome deal b/c of all the different backgrounds as well as the little elements that are kind of a selection from a whole bunch of the valentine kits. This kit does NOT require any 'digital' skills...it's simply a download and PRINT.
