Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m thinking the launch parties were a success on both sites! The party’s not over, though, until all the party favors are handed out 🙂 Of course, in this case they’re handed out to a randomly select few. I sincerely wish I could give them to ALL my party guests, but after shelling out quite a bit for the band, disco lights and fireworks…well, you get the picture 😉
With a whopping 6 giveaways—3 on each blog—I have to tell you, it was a bit unnerving using Rafflecopter for the first time. I was SO afraid of making an irreversible mistake! I’m happy to tell you that when all was said and done, I had a list of 6 lucky winners 🙂 I thoroughly enjoyed notifying each of them and their responses pretty much lit up my inbox, too! How flattering! (Especially since I questioned their appeal lol)
It was a lot of fun at the post office yesterday, mailing…

Thank you to EVERYone for joining me in the celebration. You made it really special, and I’m looking forward to spending time here with all of you 😀

No, Kathy! I didn’t see you here and hadn’t heard from you through emails so figured you were busy. In fact, I’m trying to catch up on the hundreds of emails/blogs I’ve missed during the weeks on the work prior to launch. THANK you! I’ll go look now! 😀

Hallo, Hallo Ms. Donna!
Forgive my tardiness — I was here on your launch date!, even started to write a comment but then it disappeared into the ethers as I’m not sure it ever actually posted?! Sighs. I’ve been celebrating your blog in spirit the whole time its been live! 🙂 I’m quite anxious to see all the lovely posts bloom on your dual-blogs & seeing where your journey takes you! Supporting you a bit after the fact officially, but find your web presence pretty spectacular! I love how you integrated the philosophical quotes into the matrix of who you are as a creative & blogger! Quite a clever way of inspiring everyone who alights here! Rock on!
Your first giveaway was a sweet surprise! for the winners! Great way to promote your blogs & the vision you have for the space in which everyone will be conversing with you! Awesome! 🙂

Jorie!!! What lovely, uplifting compliments! Leave it to you and your wonderful way with words 🙂 Thank you for bestowing them upon ME! 😀 Seriously, I’m so glad you made your way here. I know how busy you are with all the in-depth interviews you do!
I wish you’d been here for the initial giveaways, but I’ll be doing them regularly, just not all three items at once! lol I hope things get good around here! Thanks, Jorie oxox

It’s great to be a part of the celebration and to see things coming together. Yours has certainly been the blog with the most fanfare for an introduction…I like it.

I’m glad you like it, Ste J 🙂 I figure after all this work, if I’m going to do it, I’ll do it “right.” It’s like a “Grand Opening” to me, but instead of a book store or whatever, it’s a blog(s) 😀
