HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY BLOGGING BUDDIES

TO CELEBRATE ~ I'M HAVING A CONTEST!

PLEASE HELP ME SPREAD THE WORD...

Opening a new website has been wonderful and very exciting. But with the holiday rush, I haven't had as much time to spread the word as I would have liked. So I am having a contest to do just that. Will you help me spread the word? There is a GREAT prize for you if you enter and win.

Here are the simple rules.

1. Go to my new website: www.Eleganceandwhimsy.com and take a look around to get a feel of the site so you will have something to blog about.


2. Take my new banner and use it in your blog post and tell everyone what you love/like about it then while linking the banner back to my website (www.eleganceandwhimsy.com).

3. Add my banner to your Favorite Links page on your website. I will be happy to reciprocate on my Favorite Shoppes page.

4. Come back here and post your name, blog name (and website) so I can read all blogs and see what you like and would like to see in the future at
Elegance and Whimsy.

5. Tell everyone you know about the contest.lol

The contest will end on January 17th, my birthday!
My gift will be a Prize for you...
Now the PRIZE you ask???? I think it's a great one myself.

A $50 Gift Certificate to purchase anything you choose on either one of my
websites. Either "Treasured Heirlooms" or "Elegance and Whimsy"!
(S&I not included unless prearranged with me via email)

Won't you join in the fun and help out a fellow blogger?
I would really appreciate it.
Thank you kindly,
Cathy

  4. Cathy, count me in, honey!! I'm doing a special "logo" though using your W&E logo from the website. I'm putting it in a blog post and also in the sidebar so it will be seen until Jan. 17 and not get lost in the shuffle. Give me tonight to finish it and you'll see it.

  26. ....so happy to add your banner and a linky thing in the sidebar.Your website and blog is so gorgeous. You should be just "tickled pink" to be on the cover of Romantic Homes !
    I couldn't quite add the linky thing in the post - didn't quite work, but it does on the sidebar.
    I do have your banner in my post though and comments on how pretty your site is!

    It took a couple days to post though cause we've had some long power outages and..teenagers "borrowing" my computer LOL

    Best of luck on your website!

    Wow, I think I said that a lot on my blog but I am still in awe at the new site.
    I have blogged about the new store with the banner and link. My site is down for some bizarre reason today , but as soon as it is back online I will add your banner to favorite links. Keep up all of the great "lovelies" you have been creating.
