GIVE AWAY TIME!

Today I spent the day taking photos and posting items on my madeit and etsy shops. I have finally added my cookies, apple, pear and berry.

Over the last few months I have met so many amazing people through blogging...and looking forward to meeting more amazing people. You are all awesome!
....GIVE AWAY TIME...
To celebrate Spring and to thank you for making blogging so fun I thought it necessary to have
my 1st give away. So I have Mrs Berry to give away.
To Enter:
Simply leave a comment and tell me what you think makes a good blog site..... As I'm new to blogging I thought it would be a great way to find my feet and get some
great pointers along the way.
Winner will be announced Monday afternoon.
Happy posting...

  2. I love your Mrs Berry! So so adorable.

    The following are the few points I think makes a good blog site:

    1. constantly updated : if you only update once in a blue moon, readers are not likely to keep coming back.

    2. Pretty images: It helps break up the text and who doesn't like oogling at pretty photos?

    3. Short paragraphs: People get lazy reading (isn't that sad these days?) so by keeping it short and precise, you catch hold of their attention.

    4. Formatting: An appealing formatting makes a reader stay. A haphazard formatting makes the reader just want to close the window and never go back.

    5. Interesting content: Probably the most important of them all.

    6. I also find that people like tutorials, giveaways... anything interactive. If it can involve them, they will stick around for more.

    I hope those made sense or helped in any way or form. I love your blog and I think you've already covered all the above points!

    4. Anythime you add a new line blog about it, anything that is happening related to your business blog about it.
    5. the more you comment on others blogs the more likely they will visit you to see what your world is.

  5. Gorgeous fruit!!! I love them, they're so sweet. I'm not a blogger but the blogs I love to read have great photos, update regularly (at least once a week) and interesting content such as sneak peaks of WIPs, tutorials, interesting finds, etc.

  7. Regular updates, photos, learning about what you are doing, and why - like how did you decide on making certain things. I like hearing about what else you are doing, like the stitches and craft show, and how you found those experiences.
