A Giveaway for Twice Remembered Followers and Subscribers!



mentioned in an earlier post that I am having a giveaway for Twice Remembered blog followers and so today I wanted to get started! This is a special 'thank you' to all of you, especially those that made the switch this week from my old blog to my new one. I really appreciate you taking the time to do that!

I will be giving away a copy of the new book Blogging for Bliss: Crafting Your Own Online Journal: A Guide for Crafters, Artists & Creatives of all Kinds by Tina Frey. I had the opportunity to browse this book the other night and it is absolutely fantastic - a wonderful resource for both those that are thinking about creating a blog of their own AND for those that already have a blog. You will LOVE this book and will be pleased to find some of your favorite bloggers in it! (more details on the book in a bit...)

I will keep this giveaway open for two weeks and it will end Wednesday night on August 5th. If you enjoy my blog and are interested in staying up to date here, feel free to follow or subscribe. Just click the "follow" button in the right hand column of my blog. If you'd rather "subscribe" instead of "follow", that is fine, too. If you'd like your name in the hat twice, you can help spread the word by blogging about this giveaway. Thanks!



So if you are a subscriber or follower and want to enter to win this giveaway, just let me know in the comments below and I'll put your name in the hat:) Please also let me know if you've blogged about this giveaway so I can be sure to enter you twice. The winner will be announced on August 6th. Have fun!

----------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the description on Amazon...doesn't it sound amazing?

Today’s crafting community is online, connected, and blissfully blogging about their work and ideas. Blogging is hot in this highly creative world—and here is the only how-to book aimed directly at them. Everyone from knitters and beaders to scrapbookers and altered artists will find the practical information and visual inspiration they need to create an artful online journal.

Thanks to hundreds of gorgeous screen grabs from the very best blogs, a thorough introduction to the tools of the trade, and instructions that virtually take you by the hand, even beginners will swiftly go from blank screen to colorful, enticing pages. Those who already have a blog, but want to enhance their presence on the Web, will learn how to add banners and graphics, take the perfect shots, crop and size photos, establish links, and attract an audience of eager readers.

Best of all, readers will meet some of the web’s most popular creative bloggers, including Alicia Paulson (Posie Gets Cozy), Gabreial Wyatt (Vintage Indie), Emily Martin (Inside A Black Apple), Lidy Baars (Little French Garden House), Heather Bullard (Vintage Inspired Living), and Serena Thompson and Teri Edwards (The Farm Chicks).
