Blogtoberfest 2012 {1/31}

Dear Blog,

Goodness me.  I missed our 2nd Blogiversary – 25th July!  I’m so sorry, Blog.  I do love you.  I just don’t seem to have had the time you need for me to be writerly or creative recently.

Hopefully, that might just change … because ….

It’s Blogtoberfest time again!! Yay!! 

This year it’s being hosted by Kat at I Saw You Dancing.  Originating in Australia, Blogtoberfest is an annual blogging festival - when I did this two years ago I made so many new friends and I had such a blast.

The idea is that you blog every day for the month of October ... I can’t guarantee in any way that I will manage it for the whole month, but I’m going to have a go … 200 fabulously creative people have already signed up!

this from the blurb …

Blogtoberfest is a wonderful opportunity to:

* challenge yourself to blog every day for 31 days
* discover kindred blogging spirits
* carve out a tiny slice of time each day to write and to read
* share any creative projects you have on the go
* host a giveaway, if you feel inclined to spread the love

You can sign up here.  If you would like to host a giveaway during the month too, then sign up for that separately here (hosted by the fabulously talented CurlyPops).

 I’m posting this to coincide with Lynne@ Lily'sQuilts October Small Blog Meet … This is the perfect way for new bloggers to put themselves about a bit.  The discipline of blogging every day is daunting at first, but just take it a day at a time, and no one is going to come and arrest you if you can’t keep up!



I’ve got a fantastically generous giveaway for you too … to celebrate Blogtoberfest, my Blogiversary, and Ch******s, sponsored by – one of my Local Quilt Stores – Brighton Sewing Centre … Yay! 




Remember … You can sign up for Blogtoberfest here and sign up for giving away here.

You’re going to love it … more later this week … keep ‘em peeled …
