Lucky Linky Follower Giveaway Week 3!

LUCKY~~LUCKY

WEEK 3

It’s week 3! Cheri (It’s So Very Cheri) and I both worked with Brent the creator of the new LINKY FOLLOWER tool (he also has Linky Tools–the linky party guy). We were both a little panicked over the Google Friend Connect going away. We asked him to create a new follower tool and I guess he likes us or maybe he just thought it was a great idea because he got to work on it. We tested it along with some fabulous blog friends and made some suggestions and a couple of weeks ago, Linky Followers was released. There are so many awesome features.  It’s not only a follower tool, but a reader as well! If your’e not signed up yet, we invite you to check it out.

Now, for this week’s giveaway!

Pinterest PinFest – February 2012

Happy Valentine’s Day, friends!  xoxo

The DIY Show Off

I live in the north, might be suffering symptoms of cabin fever, seasonal affective disorder and just lo-o-o-o-nging for sunshine and fresh air, open windows, green grass, warm temperatures and longer days but I do always remember that I am blessed and have so much to be thankful for and don’t really sink into any sort of depression, just a little case of the ‘blahs’ and discouragement. Some days, I just dream of staying snuggled all day…

I find comfort in socializing via blogging, making new friends, laughing, crying and celebrating life with good friends.

So in honor of warm fuzzy feelings {via Pinterest, of course} and reminders to embrace the change in seasons, I’m loving today.  Snow and cold and all.  I’m feeling blessed and warm surrounded by your friendship.

Lucky Link Follower Giveaway ~ Week 2 AND a LINKY BLOG HOP!

Are you feeling LUCKY?

WEEK 2

I hope you do! Cheri (It’s So Very Cheri) and I both worked with Brent the creator of the new LINKY FOLLOWER tool (he also has Linky Tools–the linky party guy). We were both a little panicked over the Google Friend Connect going away. We pleaded on bended knee for him to create something new. I guess he likes us or maybe he just thought it was a great idea because he got to work on it. We tested it and made some suggestions. Then we rounded up some friends to join our test group and we all helped to work on the best new follow tool which we announced last week.

One question that keeps coming up–‘I am still on blogspot so it won’t go away for me–why do I need a different follower tool?’ My reply–Why not get started now in the event Google Friends Connect goes away for you in the future too?

We worked really hard to make it the VERY BEST for you. We thought it would be SUPER FUN to have a SUPER COOL– MONTH LONG give-a-way to celebrate the SUPER COOL new tool.

1 WINNER WILL RECEIVED A CASH PRIZE OF $50 {via Paypal} at the end of February!
