The best kind

The best kind of giveaway is the kind that everyone wins right?

People who don't blog don't seem to understand it, but there's something freeing about being able to write what you feel and sending it out not knowing who, or if anyone, will read it. It's a place where you get to tell your story, as little or as much as you feel like sharing. Plus, it's fun. And you all know I'm all about the fun having. Even though I'm not super talented or spend a whole lot of time on it, it's an easy creative outlet for me. I've always been someone who needed those, even back in the crayon days.

I think it's awesome to read others' stories.
People are fascinating.
No two are the same.
Different aspects of beauty.
Every one has talents to share.
Insight to convey.
Different lessons learned.
Different struggles.

Yet somehow, we're all the same. We're all just people doing the best we can, with what we have.

It's great when you find someone you relate to.
One of the difficult things about blogging is getting your blog out there. I want to help. The "giveaway" I will be hosting is free sponsership for this month! All you have to do is become a follower, and leave the code to your button in a comment, or the URL to your blog where I can find your button. I will post it on the side of my blog. This will give people an opprotunity to find new, fun blogs, and also to get their blog out there.

What are you waiting for?
If you're not a follower already, become one. It's easy. My "follower box" is located on the right column. Then leave me the URL for your blog, or the html code for your button for me to post. The buttons will be posted under the "blogs that are bomb" header.

Giveaway ends Wednesday. Or Thursday. Or Tuesday. Or next month. Or whenever I feel like stoppping.
Buttons will appear for apx a month. Or again, whenever I feel like stopping.

Thanks friends :)
I know you never get tired of seeing my hottie husband. It's okay. I can't blame you!

This is a really good idea and so nice of you to do that for bloggers! You're right, the hardest part about blogging is getting your blog out there. It takes a lot of work! This "giveaway" is such a fun idea, I might have to steal it in the future! :)

I just tried to leave my html code in this comment, but blogger won't let me. I'll have to email it to you. Thanks!!

That is such a cool giveaway! I've been thinking about someting to give away for some time now, something that doesn't cost a lot and can be given away internationally without HUGE shipping costs.. That really is a great idea. Maybe I'll borrow it with a reference to you sometime in the future ^^
And by the way, I can't get enough of your beautiful wedding pictures *aww* :-)
