Does Advertising on Other Blogs Work?  Personally I would say a resounding, Yes.  I can only afford to advertise on one site at this time which I have chose to be ChristieCottage.  Jacki from Christie Cottage has reasonable rates (that I can afford,) a large following and she is active every day of the week.

Blog advertising can be very helpful if you look for blogs that have a high readership and following, posts most days of the week (at least 5) and are overall actively involved in their blog.  I also look for those blogs that fit my personality but sometimes you can find success by branching out.


Right now my budget is very limited and I am sure many of you are in the same boat.  So I would love to swap advertising space with you.  To make it easier I have placed my blog button in this post if you would like to swap just grab the button code and place it on your blog sidebar or where ever just so it is visible.  Email or comment to me on where I can grab your code or even send me the code to your button directly and I will do the same for you.

Here is my Shop button for a shop swap.  Again let me know and I will add you to my sidebar.

Also don't forget to check out my free shop directories and add your shop/blog links to the appropriate directory (if it applies you can link into more than one directory.)

Have a very productive and blessed weekend.

Wait A Minute Mister Postman Postcard Party 40

I have really started to love Christmas In July; what a great mental escape from the heat of summer in the desert.  Summer has always been my favorite time of year; Growing up in the Midwest was a challenge for me since summer was so short and the winters so long.  The long days, summer sports, sweet smells in the air from my flower garden, fresh fruits and vegetables all home grown, long lazy hikes up the bluff, the hum of crickets and grasshoppers during the day, and the song of a million little frogs at night; I lived for those brief 3 months.

My favorite time of year has been married with my favorite holiday Christmas!  Without the worry of frostbite What more could we ask for?  Happy Christmas in July everyone!
