National Squash the BUG Blog Hop

So everyone likes a blog hop, everyone likes to win prizes and spread the word when it comes to paper crafting.. So the idea behind this is to have a BIG BIG blog hop...I have a few places who will sponsor us and give prizes. Although there is much to word to do yet..
But this is how I thought it could possibly run...
We would make this the home page with all the prizes, and info on the blog hop. Having everyone leave a message here. We will then break off into smaller groups, and each of you have blogs and would like to be a leader and get people to play along...You can give away files, digi stamps, whatever you like in addition to the main give aways...
So this would be first...then people would have the opportunity to follow one of the other leads, or if you want to and have time check in on all of them.  We can have MTC and SCAL users involved. Featuring projects on each blog that are made with either program... If we can get enough people and hits this blog that is linked to facebook, the blogfrog community, and twitter, we could put this blog and our cause on the top 50 rankings. That way when people check in, they will see us and all of our information and we can help to educate even more people. And gain some more followers...
So if you are interested in participating in the blog hop, please leave a comment on this post..So we can get it organized, and if anyone wants to help with the organization leave that in your comment as well...
First we need to pick a date, and have someone make us a blinkie or badge so we can all sport the same one on our blogs.
So sign up By 8am  Monday April 18th.....Also choose a weekend from the list that would best work for you, we have 3 possible weekends, so please choose first choice and so on. If anyone wants to donate anything for giveaways and prizes please let me know that as well.
The weekend choices are
april 30th and May 1st
May 14th and may 15th
I don't really think we want to wait any longer than May 15th, as this is fresh in our minds and we want to stay current with this....
Also if anyone would like to donate anything also let me know. So help spread the word, and make this a successful blog hop.
Have a great week

  2. Hello! I would like to participate and help in anyway that I can. I am starting a blog all about using digital files with your electronic die-cutting machine (cartridge free!) at www.mythoughtsexactly.co (I will be launching this weekend). I would love to be a stop in the hop. Also my hubby is a graphic design and could help create buttons and such (you can see the one he made for me on my blog). And I would just like to help any way I can in general!

    Thanks

  11. I'd like to participate.

    May I suggest this happen AFTER Easter though--and maybe BEFORE Mother's Day? (Maybe April 30th weekend?)...coz those 2 holidays I'm kinda busy w/ making cards.

    I think a BIG winner blog candy should be a copy of either MTC or SCAL--winner's choice! Some other ideas for 'candy' could be gift certs to paid svg sites...paper packs, etc. (stuff associated with creating with other electronic die cut machines.)

    I mainly work with cards, but I think for this hop, I want to work with a 3D object for a change--or, it might just become an ADVENTURE! ;-)

  19. I am interested in participating. I can do it on the April 30th weekend. I have a very neglected blog that I just started working on again this week. I'd love to post links to files on my site -- I usually do very minor alterations to files I purchase or find on the internet, but I will happily link or add files to my blog with permission. I'm sure I can scare up a prize or two. Just let me know what to do.
