Some "Thank You" Blog Candy!

Hi everyone!

As I mentioned earlier in the week, I've reached over 25,000 blog hits. When I logged onto my blog this morning, I realized that I now have over 100 followers also. I think it's time for some more Appreciation Blog Candy! All of you who visit my blog have been so supportive and encouraging, and I can't thank you enough for your continued visits. This blog candy will be just like the last. I will purchase a gift card or gift certificate to the place of your choice. I think that kind of blog candy works out well so that you can get what you want. Instead of using comments to enter, I think we're going to try the Mr. Linky thing. Then I can randomly choose a number and not have to cut up hundreds of pieces of paper. All you need to do is post about this blog candy on your blog and then link your post below. Please use a direct link to your post rather than to your blog in general. I will delete general blog links. If your link has been deleted, you can add it again with the link to your direct post.

If Mr. Linky is not working, go ahead and leave me a comment with your link. As soon as it is up and running again, I will upload it for you. To be fair to everyone, I'd appreciate it if you'd only enter once. :) If you do not have a blog and would like to be entered, leave me a comment, with your contact details, and I will add a number for you to the end. I'm hoping that covers everything.

You have until Friday, August 28th at 10pm (central) to enter. On the 29th, I will randomly choose a winner. Easy right? Oh, and I guess the most important part is that you're entering for a chance at $150. Hope you're as excited about this as I am! Don't forget to tell your friends!

Much Love!

Heather Schlatter said...

Hi Steph it is me again. I posted your Blog Candy, but it is scheduled to post at Noon CST on my blog because I have two DT commitments that I wanted to have up for a few hours before the next post so if you come to check and make sure I posted about it it will be up at Noon today!!!

Have a Wonderful Saturday!!!

Heather Schlatter

Heather Schlatter said...

Hi Steph,

O.K. I just saw your candy posted on 3 different blogs!!! I did not think there were to many blogs I have not had the chance to get out to yet, but I have actually never been here before, but I will be back!!

I also really respect you for not having people start following your blog to be entered into the candy!!!

That seems kind of fake to me that someone has 500 followers but it is really only because they told people to win they had to follow their blog, but look at you you already have 87 new followers since you posted the candy and they all started following you just because they wanted too!!! I am really enjoying scrolling through your blog and seeing everything I added you on my follow list too, and I will be back now off to post about your very generous candy my new friend!!!

Heather Schlatter
