Coming Soon: 2nd Annual LFY Blog Party!

October is swiftly racing by, and soon November will be upon us. After that it will be December - time for Christmas preparations and, of course, the "Love Finds You" Blog Party! I'm very excited to be hosting this event again, as we had such a blast last year!

Did you miss last year's festivities? Or perhaps you'd like a chance to reminisce? Click HERE to read the party posts from December 2010 (be sure to scroll down)!

As of right now I have five wonderful guests lined up for this event, and there will be fun and prizes galore! Want to find out who two of the guests are? Take a look at the blog button I created for the party:

The background is a bit obscure, but if you look at the Summerside Press website I think you should be able to figure out who's book it is...and she's going to be one of our guests!

Now click on this blog button in the sidebar (not the one in the post). One of our guests' lovely covers is gracing the party page! (Note that the party page will be updated with more specific information in the coming weeks.)

Want to help spread the word? Just grab the button in the sidebar (using the code below the button) and share it on your own blog! If you leave a comment here letting me know that you've done this, you can have 2 extra entries in the main prize package drawing to be announced on December 4th!

Hope to see you there!

    P.S. To everyone out there who takes this button:

    1. I'm sorry it's not super beautiful or anything! It would be neat to show more of the cover it comes from, but I wanted to focus on the "Love Finds You" portion of the cover... Alas, I'm not the best button maker, but I'm grateful to MyBannerMaker.com for making it a little easier! ;)

    2. Since it's still a little over a month until the party, feel free to put the button wherever you want - it doesn't have to be at the very top of your blog unless you don't mind having it there for a while! :)

    Sounds exciting - I have about a dozen "love finds you" books on my TBR - lol, maybe I can get 1 or 2 read before your contest. :) Great blog!

    Trisha,

    Feel free to check out the LFY Blog Party page here:

    http://seasonsofhumility.blogspot.com/p/love-finds-you-blog-party_22.html

    It's the page the button links to, and I've recently added the tentative party schedule. :) This event is a themed party week I started last year because I love the "Love Finds You" series so much. Nothing too official, but we do have a lot of fun and there will be some great giveaways!

    So glad you'll be celebrating with us! And thank you for taking the button - you have 2 extra entries in the main drawing! :)

    Sounds like a ton of fun! I've put the button in my sidebar (in part just to remind myself to come back here for the party!). I've read Miralee Ferrell's Love Finds You books so I'm super excited to see her again here and to meet some of the other authors. :)

    Koala Bear Writer,

    Welcome to my blog, and thank you for following and helping to spread the word about the party! :) I'm excited about the party, as well! It will be fun to host Miralee again, as she was also a part of the festivities last year. :)

    Koala Bear Writer,

    I also wanted to add that you have 2 extra entries in the main prize drawing! I'm not sure if all parts of the package can be sent out of the U.S. (I'll have to check on that), but if not I'll either put your entries in for a part of the package or for the international giveaway one of the authors is hosting. :)

    This looks like so much fun! The only book I've read out of this group is the one by Robin Jones Gunn (who's one of my favorite authors!), and it was wonderful. I'll have to check some of the others out too!

    I posted the button on my blog:

    Jessica,

    Glad you think so, too! :)

    I have one of Robin's books on my TBR stack and I read the book she co-wrote with Tricia Goyer (Praying for Your Future Husband). :) I actually got to meet her last February, which was awesome! (Although I was a bit starstruck, LOL...)

    Anyway, thank you for taking the party button - you have 2 extra entries in the main prize drawing! And thank you for following the blog!! :) Great to meet you!

    Hi Amber I am really new at this, but I did copy your link and put it on my blog, (I hope it worked). My blog is very new and I only have 5 followers, :). http://www.tsmathews.blogspot.com/ But I know it takes time. Thanks for this blog party and I can't wait to read LFYI Folly Beach, since I live in SC and I'm only about 1.5 hours away from Folly Beach.

    Congratulations on starting a new blog! Blogging has been such a blessing to me, and I hope it becomes one for you, as well. :)

    Thank you for posting about the party! I will definitely give you the 2 extra entries for that. :) If you want to enter the other individual giveaways this week, you'll find the links on the party page. :) (Or you can just go to the Home page and scroll down.)

    And please let me know if you have any questions! I know it can be a little rocky when you first learn how to blog, but I'm sure you'll quickly get the hang of it. :)
