Planning for Blogmania 2011

For those of you that have been reading my blog for the last several months, you've been hearing about our HUGE blogging event coming up September 15th & 16th - Blogmania!  We are putting the finishing touches on the prize packages and working with our sponsors to share the information about Hundreds of giveaways - and THOUSANDS of $$ in prizes - available for anybody to win.  It's incredibly fun - all you do is surf from a list of participating blogs and leave comments on those blogs only 2 days over 9/15-9/16.  Winners will be chosen and announced and there's no limit to how many giveaways you can win.  Not sure what Blogmania is? Learn more on my Blogmania Page Here: http://pearljewelryplus.blogspot.com/p/blogmania.html

Prizes are already over $19,000 and still growing... so book mark this site and come back on 9/15 to find the list of participating blogs.

But... in the background, we're already planning for Blogmania 2011... yes, next year already.  We're working to make it even bigger... with bigger prizes and more publicity for our participating blogs and their prize sponsors.

For 2011 I have the privilege of working with 4 other wonderful bloggers as a Team Leader for the new Blogmania 2011 Dream Team.  We'll be working as a team to help new Blogmania participants get involved and seasoned veterans to make their exposure and prize packages even bigger.

If you have interest in participating as a blog host for Blogmania 2011 (we'll be doing April & October giveaways this time), I've posted the information about how to apply on my website.  http://www.designsbydawnmarie.com/blogmania-2011-dream-team/

Each application and blog does get reviewed individually, so please allow time after submitting your application to hear back.  Once accepted, your blog will be added to our Dream Team Widget. 

Can't wait to see you back here on September 15th (and hopefully before) so you can enter our giveaway for some of Our Favorite Things!  In the meantime, please take some time to visit my sponsors' blogs.  They are all really talented women, and crafty in so many different areas - jewelry, sewing, scrapbooking, cooking and so much more!
