***THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED***
The countdown to Celebrate the Family has begun!
In a little over two weeks you’ll get to read a new guest post every day, participate in blog hops, earn chances to win some fabulous prizes, link up to share your own posts and all to CELEBRATE THE FAMILY.
I’ve been so encouraged to see the Celebrate Family button displayed on your blogs. I’ve also received some wonderful feedback about the celebration, and it hasn’t even begun yet! As a thank you for spreading the word – and as an incentive to continue spreading the word like wildfire – both Jocelyn and I are starting the celebration a little early with a giveaway. We are each giving away a different prize, and the rules for our giveaways are each different so be sure to check out Jocelyn’s blog to see how to enter her giveaway.
See this beautiful piece of art work?
Here’s a closer view.
Generously offered by LDS Home Decor it’s a stunning hardwood carving of The Family: A Proclamation to the World. It measures an impressive 2′ wide x 3′ tall. Wouldn’t this be perfect in your home? (psst….they also offer hardwood carvings of the Declaration of Independence!)
Here’s how to enter the giveaway:
1. Post a Celebrate Family button on your blog. It can be either my button or Jocelyn’s – doesn’t matter. Look on my sidebar for the code.
2. Share about the celebration on the family on Twitter or Facebook directing your friends and family here so they can learn about the celebration and enter to win too.
3. E-mail your friends about it.
Leave a separate comment for each thing you do for a total of three chances to win. Be sure to leave a way to contact you! The giveaway runs from Aug. 16 – Aug 27. The winner will be announced August 30th.
And here’s a little sneak peak at some of the guest bloggers lined up for September.
Heather @ The Modern Hive
Sonja @ Our Years of Wonder
Alison @ Mommymita
Shawni @ 71 Toes
Michelle @ Scribbit
Marilyn @ Meet the Passionista

Now go spread the word already!
Oh, and
It won’t be a success without you.
