F is for 47 Fun, Fabulous, Fantastic Freebies … Fo(u)r You!

The designers, creative team members, and admin at JessicaSprague.com have all been working hard in our digital labs, cooking up something these past weeks to celebrate 4 fabulous years of growing our skills and telling our stories and cultivating friendships on our Spraground…

And tonight is the night we’re throwing confetti and blowing trumpets and and welcoming one and all to this seriously awesome PARTY! We’ve got 47 goodie bags (actually, there’s a little surprise at the end too! 😉 ) to give each one of you!

Be sure you unzip your goodie bags as soon as you pass through each blog so that you can collect the quote strips tucked inside each one. When you’ve gathered all 47 quote strips, arrange them in the correct order then send the completed “quote” to my dear friend Tori (her email addy is on the flyer below), and all those who complete the quote correctly have an additional chance to win the raffle for a sur-PRIZE from us! How awesome is that! 😀

Remember, though, that you need to grab all your goodie bags (and send that completed quote to Tori) between NOW and 10PM EST Sunday (June 26th), which is when our party winds down (and then we get to wipe the traces of chocolate cupcake off our faces and lie down on the grass and smile contentedly at the stars, thanking the heavens for a wonderful weekend-long party 🙂 ).

So while you put on your virtual running shoes and get ready for our 47-stop bloghop, here’s a bit of info to let you know how we’re playing this entire weekend!

Better Late Than… Later :)

/ LivE / 2 Comments

I’m wide awake! I’m not sleeping! After what seems like forever, I’m back on my blogporch! YAY!

So I just had the time to skip around netland and discovered (or re-discovered, or more fully discovered, since I’m pretty sure I got the email about this at the start of the year) WordPress’ Post A Day / Post a Week challenges for 2011. And I’ll kid you not, I spent a couple more days thinking to myself, “Really now, do you need to add one more to your already more-than-full plate of things to do in a day?” Now that’s precisely the kind of thinking that got me from January (when I first received the email informing me of a way to ensure consistent blog posts) to half a year after… still in the same place.

But the fact is, I do realize I have been pathetic at sitting on my blogporch with you for so long. Not for lack of desire, no, definitely not. It’s simply a matter of not yet finding that elusive 24-more-hours-to-add-to-the-day that has kept me from indulging in all that I would really love to do (and yes, sitting with you here is pretty high on that list).

And the other fact is, realization should give way to some kind of resolution, some kind of movement towards a better point. And I figured perhaps this is the just push I need!

So (taking a deep breath) here it is, folks. A desire, a plan, and hopefully a successful adventure: I will attempt to do Post a Week 2011! I promise to show up here at least once a week (dare I say, perhaps even more?) and excite, bore, tease, delight, et cetera you with my company. 🙂 Never mind if it’s halfway through 2011; today is as good a day as any to start, right?

Because you know what they say: better late than… later! 😆

PS. If you’d like to join me on this journey, HERE’s where you can learn more about the whole adventure!
