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!

A Transatlantic Wedding

I had this site saved in my FF file {future features} and thought it would be appropriate this week to post it as it will be my 4th wedding anniversary! I remember like it was yesterday how it felt to plan my wedding, and boy I wish I had documented it like Phyllis does in her blog! I still have my binder, but this blog is a perfect way to research, brainstorm, and play with ideas for a beautiful wedding. I love all the idea boards she has posted throughout. She posted video of how to create table decor, pictures of dresses {including price} and shoes, and wonderful posts about her and her partner. I love this idea! What a wonderful way to tell the story of your wedding.

Kevin & Amanda

If you haven't stumbled across this blog yet, you are really missing out on something yummy! It is like enduling yourself in a delicious dessert! Amanda is a super tallented and amazing little developer. She takes beautiful photographs, provides us with mouth-watering recipes, gives away free super-cool fonts to use on your own blogs, is a fantastic blogger, and can design a blog like nobody's business! Not to mention, she gives away freebies all the time and has nice little goodies to giveaway from other amazing sites! I have had the pleasure of emailing her recently for some tech advise on making my blog background. What a super helpful sweetheart she was! I love, love, love this blog and hope to one day be this good at multitasking!!

Seriously, check out this blog. You will be so happy you did!

Knock Knocking

Knock Knocking sent me a little comment on our sister site, so naturally I followed. OMG! How happy I was! The blog is delightful and full of color. This header makes me want to cry, because it is to beautiful and the sentiment is endearing. I can definately get some inpiration here with all of the attractive and colorful pictures displayed throughout. That's my favorite thing about it!

The Craft Begins

This blog is spectacular! I could pour over it for hours and never get bored. I love the way she has it layed out to house her many different endeavors. It looks like she has her hands in a variety of things like me, but her organization here takes the cake! I especially love her inspiration boards and before and after section! I have so many trash to treasure items I am dying to get my hands on. This is definately a fun way to feature them! There is something for everyone here, but I like it all! There are floral inpirations, kitchen voodoo {again, you can't lose there!}, event planning, photography, and so much more.

I am selfishly posting this blog for my benefit, but perhaps if you are reading this you will like it too! ;)
