Blogtoberfest is an annual blogging festival and a wonderful opportunity to: * challenge yourself to blog every day for 31 days * discover kindred blogging spirits * carve out a tiny slice of time each day to write and to read * share any creative projects you have on the go * host a giveaway, if you feel inclined to spread the love This year, Blogtoberfest will be hosted here @ I Saw You Dancing. This will be your HQ for creative prompts, insights and inspiration from guest bloggers, and quotes to get you thinking. Be sure to check in every day during the month, fill up your creative well, and let us know how you're traveling. I am really looking forward to meeting you all -- both seasoned participants and brave newcomers -- during the month of Blogtober! My initial reaction was, I'd love to do this, but there's no way that I can blog for 31 days in a row! I was relieved to learn that the 31 days is not a requirement. There really are no rules. It's feels a bit like a workshop where you can participate in all the events or only the one's that strike your fancy. You can sign up anytime by adding your blog to the linky tool that Kat has set up. As of this morning there were 302 participants! (I'm #298) I'm quite excited to check out some of the others who are joining in. I always find it interesting to see how different people interpret the same prompt. It looks like there is a really diverse group which means the sky is the limit for what we'll see. In addition to meeting new people, I'm looking forward to learning things that will help make me a better blogger.
This may not be your 'thing', but I encourage you to take a look and consider giving it a try. We all have something worthy to contribute - why not share what you have with Blogtoberfest? Today's prompt is Savour your Saturday. For me this is an easy one. After spending the morning working on the blog, I'm going to shut my computer off, make myself a cup of tea, put a movie on and spend 2 quality hours with my hook and yarn! Thanks so much for stopping by and spending a bit of your day with me! Until next time friends, Be blessed and stitch & read with love!

Thanks so much for the trackback/shoutout! I am enjoying this so far. We'll see how long I can sustain the daily posting....but as you say, there are no rules or requirements, no pressure. If increased traffic is one of your motivators, you might be interested to know that my stats have more than doubled in the past four days. Have fun!!! 10/8/2012 11:39:28 am
Welcome! I am back for my second year of Blogtoberfest. You may actually want to try blogging every day (maybe not this month since you just learned about it!). It encourages you to try different types of posts and that can be very cool. Thanks for the tip Marie. I do like the idea of trying new things, and moving beyond my comfort zone. After your suggestion I'm considering doing a month of posting this winter - Maybe January or February. I am enjoying meeting lots of new people with completely different interests! 10/8/2012 12:36:39 pm
