"GROW YOUR BLOG" 
2 Bags Full
This event is designed to bring more readers and FOLLOWERS to your blog
Last year over 400 bloggers participated in this event, on January 24th our host  had over 596 blogs ready to be listed for the event - WOW !
What a great way to increase traffic ! 
If you visit the Home site they will have a list of all those participating and you can also join in and visit with the rest of us.



As part of this event I am having a special  Give-A-Way
(separate from my January Give-A-Way- which you can also get in on - shortcut on the right side bar) 

 GIVE-A-WAY NOW CLOSED 
THE WINNER IS :  Andrea Ostapovitch
Etched Zentangle Copper 18g Pendant - Heart
Its Almost Valentines Day - so what is more appropriate than a Heart
18G  Approx 1-3/4" Copper  Domed Etched with my own Zentangle pattern with a pink/purple patina
Sealed and ready to be put on a chain (copper jump ring) 

Same rules as my regular Give-A-Ways - just post to this blog thread  (this thread only ) a comment- say Hi !
(the only restriction is no anonymous so I can find you again later to send you your gift)  
 From the list I will randomly pick a winner on February 15, 2014
You do not have to pay for anything - I will ship worldwide free of charge 

I would love to increase my followers and you can do that by going to the side bar on the right and become a follower.

I hope you enjoy my blog- Happy Reading !

Thanking you all for reading and joining

I'll be leaving this post up all week before adding new items just to catch everyone jumping around the blog hop

Update:   1-25-14  8:49 am - I've made it through the first 50 listed
Its 6:45  and I've made it up to 100
Tuesday 1-28- 14 7:34  finally made it to 200 only 396 to go
How am I ever going to get to 596 ! the blogs are so interesting I linger .  If I dont leave a note its just cause I have fallen behind and trying to get through all the blogs
Finally over the 400 blog mark - and still going - such interesting blogs and great works - I've revisted some that I saw the first day as well - it is very addicting going through all these wonderful blogs I didnt even know existed !!!!!

    I can't seem to stay away from your blog! I don't know from where all of your energy comes!
    You never cease to amaze me!! Still wondering about the log splitter hydraulic press. It sounds
    like a great idea and a lot less expensive than a Bonny Doon! Let us know how it worked out for
    you, please!

    Reviewing being a newbie blogger I missed some minor details like making comments... But Vicki's Grow Your Blog Party entries are 600 bloggers. My reading was a little tasking. I wanted to read and get to know the girls so I did read everyone's bio 24 hours left to go now I just review at much as I can. If you like come visit My site http://overboardcreations.blogspot.com/and contact info is http://ovr_brd@yahoo.com I believe inspiration comes from all facets of life even knowing the great people out there with wisdom and knowledge the do's and don'ts and even the wonders of life from a personal point of view. I liked you following you on goggle connect and Bloglovin you. hope to see you in the cyber neighborhood I am new to blogging so I don't have a lot posted because I got side tract with GYB party. Kind of felt it was important to have some one read my silly chatter. I can't remember a time I didn't dabble in something creative. I tried a little of everything. But, my new love these days is Card making I just love it.
    Oh thanks for letting me enter your give away.

    Hi Deborah,

    I have exactly the same problem as you -- I linger while visiting the blogs and usually leave long comments. There is NO WAY I can make it through the list. In fact, I only visited a handful. Now I have approached a different tactic -- I scroll through the list and only visit blogs whose names sounds intriguing. I chose yours because I didn't think of Read as a last name, but as a verb -- and I love to read, you see. :) Boy, am I glad that I found you though. I even like the way your blog background looks!

    Thanks for the chance to win this beautiful heart -- it's a true treasure!

    Lots of greetings from Germany,
    Birgit

    I love the idea of growing our blogs together! It's always inspiring to see how we can support each other in our creative journeys. Speaking of creativity, I recently discovered some amazing tips for choosing wedding flowers that truly reflect personal style and enhance the overall wedding theme. The right flowers can make such a difference in setting the mood for the big day! I can’t wait to see what everyone shares as we grow our blogs. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!
