Google +, what do you think?

I've been testing out the Google+ features for a little while now, and I have to say I am mightily impressed Google. I am loving the circle features, and filters. I like that I can integrate EVERY part of the Google products I already use into my social network. Photo sharing is 100% easier than FB, documents, collaborations and meetings are a snap.

I can see some AWESOME potential for bloggers who use Blogger (like me), and for changing the way we do everything online. Now I still think there is a place for Facebook (although the Poke feature has to go), but I find myself hanging out on G+ quite a bit more.

Want to try it out? I have a few invites available for bloggers who need them. All you have to do is click the little follow button over there on the right side of the screen and leave me a comment. First come first serve, I have 5 available.

See My Writeups!

OOOh here comes the fun part, 5 people will be writing about my store too! Here they are, keep checking back with their blogs to see what they have to say about yours truly! (they have until Jan 22nd, so be patient :)

Just an FYI to participants, it is not a requirement to acknowledge your partners that will write you up, I just like to spread the love as far as possible.

Promotions, Contests and Swapping

Hello Ladies and Gents! It's time for some housekeeping. As you are all aware I enjoy chillin out over at swap-bot (click banner to be taken to it's magical homepage). I am the founder of a fun group called Scraptopia. I hate to brag but I think I am pretty clever (ok I love to brag, you know this). Lately I have been getting major brain blasts, my latest was a way to bring attention to some of my fellow crafty swappers. EVERYONE in this group is sooooo creative it's insane. So I figured, why should I get all the horn tooting? So as of today our newest promotion went live!

The details:
- Members send me a photo of their amazing work, and a short blurb about the work, how we contact them, their Etsy shop or blog etc.
- I post their blurbs and photos on the front page of the Scraptopia group along with a little commentary and a link to their profile
- They are automatically entered to win a FABULOUS prize!

So, I know you are all thinking "How can I get in on this action?" JOIN US!!!! (insert shameless peer pressure here). At the very least you should definitely join up, join some fab swaps, make some great friends and congratulate @ArtyBeth3 on being the first contributor to the contest!

YAY!
