Grow Your Blog Event

My name is Bonnie and I've been blogging since 2011. As well as promoting my small business, I like to share new product offerings,  business tips, tutorials, recipes, and some personal reflections too. I'm also on a mission to de-clutter and organize my house this year and I will be posting updates each week. I hope you can spend a bit of time getting to know me through this blog and you will see enough of interest that you will choose to follow it.

As a way to thank you for taking the time to drop in, I am giving away a surprise gift package, which will include one of my hand-made Tree of Life pendants. All you have to do for your chance to win is to comment on this Grow Your Blog post. The cut-off date to get your name in the draw is February 14th but you must comment on this post only. From all the entries, one winner will be randomly selected and announced here on February 15th.


You do not have to follow my blog to enter, but it sure would be nice if you did. *smile* Thanks for stopping by. I really appreciate it.

Special Note: A big thank you goes out to Vicki Boster of 2 Bags Full for taking the time to organize this event. You can check out the blogs of all the other participants here.

    I have been a follower ever since we were paired up for the BSBP last year. I do have to say that I always enjoy reading your blog because visually it is a treat without being hard to read and you always have such interesting topics.

    I would love to give one of your Tree Of Life pendants a good home. I am still trying to come up with a design that will give the Goddess you blessed me with wings.

    I'm not in your grow your blog thing this year, but I'm still reading. While I may not be listed as a "follower" I do subscribe to your feed, so I'm following in my own way. I hope I'm still eligible to for this draw as my Greek blood is drawn to this Tree of Life pendant.

    Hey Bonnie, Your summary post about your experiences while hopping is wonderful. I fully agree with everything you wrote. I am having a really hard time with some of the fonts and went back to double check that mine was readable. Your work is stunning. Such a small scale and so much detail. It has been lovely getting to know you.

    Hugs
