Happy New Year!

I came across a cute blog I'd like to share with you all.
Its called Kind Over Matter.

About the blog:
Kindness is all that matters.

Have you ever left something beautiful for a stranger to find, have you ever found something beautiful yourself?

We want to see it.

Focusing heavily on the handmade community, our blog is dedicated to Kind Acts, Inspirational Art & Kind Projects.

Feel Good Nouns.

Don't forget to enter our weekly giveaway & check out our freebies!

Please visit our links & sponsors for additional inspiration.

Join our Flickr group, E-mail us your photos or blog links featuring kind projects we can post, by using the buttons below.

I found this Free Printable Goals & Resolutions guides and it has inspired me. So I am going to pick one and use it. I may even stick it in my scrapbook for this year.

I also love the Card Drops that I think would feel amazing to find one, so I may start it up by leaving one in my area.

Hope you have a Happy and Productive 2010!!!

Hi! I am Arielle and I am soooo happy to be a Creative Team Member here! Hope you enjoy my first choice for featured blog.


Tip Junkie

This is such a wonderful site! Its got great colors and neat organization. That doesn't even BEGIN to describe the CONTENT!
Tip Junkie is a place you can go to find great creative ideas, games, organization, and traditions.
There are wonderful Mom-Preneur shops featured. You can also find giveaways there!
It is created by a woman named Laurie Turk who just wants to help out the women with talent who should have their names out there.
She has listed AMAZING links for Birthday Party Ideas, Entertaining, Home Decorating, Gift Ideas, Organization Ideas, DIY Crafts, Traditions, Tutorials, and even Blogging Tips!
I love this little feature: Personal Assistant. Its all the reminders you need for the beginning of the month to keep your life rolling along smoothly.
There is even a Tip Junkie Community of forums so everyone can connect and discuss different ideas and tips.
She has a sister site called Executive Homemaker. It has over 650 files at your disposal to print out and have fun with.
There is a free organizer she made that you can make into a binder to help you keep track of your life happenings. I love it!
If you have any ideas that you'd like to get out into the world, I encourage you to submit them to her!

Creative Bloggers Wanted

Creative Team Call

We are currently searching for three Creative Team Members who love to blog {and do so regularly} and are always looking for new, fun, and fresh blogs to review. If you feel you have a niche for blogging and finding other awesome blogs to share, then consider joining our team.

As a creative team member, you will be required to:

• Post a featured blog once a week. {Everyone will get a specific day}
• Blog and/or Facebook about new features linking back to ablogtobehold.blogspot.com.
• Submit at least 3 blogs a week to the FF {future featured) file. (just submitting the links to me, not actually blogging them all}

Being a team member requires some blog hopping and jumping around. We are not submitting our girlfriends' and grandmothers' blogs, although I am sure they are all great! We are looking specifically for blogs that are:

• well organized and can easily be navigated through
• visually pleasing to look at and make you say,
"OMG! How cute!?" or "I LOVE this!"
• The content must be savvy and current

We're not looking necessarily for the "how to" blog, just ones that give amazing tips or info and look good doing it. We are looking for blogs that make you want to do a mass forward to your girlfriends to say, "Seriously, check this out!".

A couple of my favorites that I think fall in to this category and are noteworthy are: www.kellyskornerblog.com & hersoutherncharm.blogspot.com. Look them over and review the blogs on ablogtobehold.blogspot.com to get an idea of what you are looking for.


What do Creative Team Members get:
• A special feature spot on ablogtobehold.blogspot.com
• A 150 x 150 ad spot or grab button on the blog for as long as you are a team member
• Your lovely mug shot featured on the blog as long as you are a team member
• A link to your blog from ohmygluestick.blogspot.com
• The opportunity to show off your blogging skills

To apply for our Creative Team, please send the following information to:
ohmygluestick@yahoo.com
• Name
• A link to your Blog
• A link to your website {if you have one}
• A link to three of your best and/or favorite posts
• Explain why you would be a great CT member and why you want to become one

The deadline for CTM submissions is August 11th.

Makeover!!

Did you notice the new look? It is inspired by a new attitude and a new team that is currently being formed to bring you more amazing blogs more frequently. If you are interested in joining the team or want more information about what's happening, stay tuned! I will be rolling out the details later today.

Ann Again....And Again

Have you joined a "virtual girls night out"? Me neither! But, we can at Ann Again....And Again's blog! I seriously love this idea. I especially love the fact that there are other mommies out there that do not like to leave their kiddos with just anyone to get a night out. I love going out with my girlfriends on occasion when my husband can be with the kids, but I love my online girlfriends too and don't want to miss the chance to "hang out" with them!

Ann even gives us yummy recipes for cocktails to ingest while enjoying our virtual girl's night out. If that isn't enough, she offers up neat little giveaways! Now, who can beat all that? A place to hang out, cocktails, and free stuff...I'm in! See you all Friday!
