The Awards Update!

With the awards around the corner, I thought I would take a few minutes to update you with some important things that are happening behind the scenes and give you a sneak-update on what we are rounding up by way of prizes…

So far, we have the following vendors on board: Peachpit Press, Artistic Photo Canvas, Math U See, Circle C Adventures, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, ERGObaby, AGMinistries, Graphically Designing, Values Driven Family, Math Mammoth, CurrClick, Media Angels, Preschoolers and Peace, The Homeschool Lounge, Learn About China, and we have some exciting extras that we can’t announce just yet! This is only our first few days in to the sponsor hunt, so we hope to be adding new goodies as the awards season rolls on!

Your Prize Offerings:

If you have a prize you would like to offer – or to find out more about advertising on the Post during the awards season, please contact us through our contact tab up top. One of our amazing and talented blog designers has offered her services free of charge to make you a 125×125 graphic ad if you don’t have one!

Here’s the one she made me:

I adore it! And of course, you are welcome to use it on your blog if you want to link to me. The Homeschool Post’s ad is in our sidebar – and you don’t even need to know html to copy it. Dawn has left up a copy and paste code box for you –> . Check it out!

Two other major events are sneaking up on us, too…

Give-Away Blog Party

On the 15th, we’ll be putting up a special Give-Away Only MckLinky for all of us to party on. I’m posting at least 3 or 4 give aways on my blogs and I know Dawn has a bunch as well. Our team got to talking and we decided to link them all in ONE place: Right here! So if you post a give-away from now through the 18th or so, please come back in and link it here so we all can find it and participate! Then let us know who won your give-away and we’ll post a blogrollish list of all our cumulative blog-give-away winners on the Post at the end of the month!

We’re excited to meet and get to know so many of our readers out there that we might not have met before. Only 9 days left until NOMINATIONS BEGIN!

Love in Him,
