Wait, I Just Found One More!

There are so many great giveaways going on right now, that I just had to add one more!

Halloween is hands down, my favorite holiday to decorate for! Don't get me wrong, I am the lady with 5 to 7 Christmas trees of varying themes and sizes throughout my house, but Halloween is just plain fun and full of whimsy!

Country Creations by Denise is also having her first giveaway and what a giveaway indeed! The fabulous tree above is the prize so head over and become a follower for a chance to win!

Today is Find This Week's Favorite Giveaway Day!

I have to admit, I don't usually run out of steam this early in the week, but I think I just might have hit the proverbial brick wall today after work. It has been a long week with lots of changes happening, so I decided to sit down and take some time to read and find out what is going on with my friends in Blog Land.

You guys are awesome! The ladies of the blogs I follow are so creative! Two of the Prim blogs were sharing a fabulous giveaway that I have to admit, I wouldn't mind winning, but even if I don't, I wanted to share in the hopes that those of you that follow me will head on over and give her a follow of support!

Felicia, from Raggedy Creations is giving away this beautiful Penny Rug on her selling blog! Good luck to all!

A Little About The Blog Guidebook Girls From Their Blog

Lyndsay and Sarah

The Blog Guidebook is the vision of two friends who want to see the blogging community grow in friendship, creativity and beauty.  Creating a blog whose format is pretty, attractive and a little bit girly.  We want to make it easy for you to find answers to those basic blogging questions, when you just need that little bit of extra help.

That's really what blogging is all about.

Established in 2010, The Blog Guidebook encompasses all bloggers, be they crafty, creative, cooks, bakers, teens, moms, dads, children in need, pet lovers, home-stylers, antiquers, flea marketers, homeschoolers, doctors, lawyers, in any country, and on and on. You name it, you can blog it. And we want to read it!  We've created over one hundred categories just for you to find the blogs you've been looking for.

Blogging is a new form of journalism. It is a way to self-publish your dreams, hopes and stories of your world. The Guidebook offers a way for others to find you, in a friendly, happy, easy to navigate, safe environment.

The Guidebook offers Spotlights and Features of notable blogs and bloggers, Free Listings for your blog, Blog Tips, Video Tutorials, Blog Critiques, Giveaways, and a Help Desk.  They also started the popular yearly Top Blog contest. 

You can ask the Guidebook questions and get an answer. The Blog Guidebook is backed by caring people, not just a computer with an automatic reply. We want to help your blog be the best it can be.

Feel free to email us with questions and suggestions as The Blog Guidebook grows!
