the first Inklings blog hop

by Margot | Aug 29, 2011 | contests | 46 comments

Welcome to the Awesome August Blog Hop, where bloggers from all over the Internet have come together to throw a summertime party!

Every blog on this hop is offering a fun prize, and entering is quick and easy. Simply follow the instructions on each blog, leave a comment, and bop right along to the next blog. You can win multiple times, so be sure to check out all the participating blogs!

On my blog, you can win a $15 Amazon gift card! Because you can NOT have too many books.

To enter:

1. Become a follower of this blog, be it Google Friend Connect, a blog reader, or RSS email feed. (If you’re already a follower, you’re golden. In more ways than one.)

2. Do any of these: Follow me on Twitter (@the_damsel), be my friend on Facebook (Margot Hovley), or mention my blog on Twitter, FB, or Google Plus. (I won’t complain if you do more than one) Or, you can “like” my other Facebook page, the one for my self-reliance blog, Old School.

3. Leave me a comment and tell me that you’ve done both things. If your e-mail isn’t available through your profile, I’ll need you to leave that, too – I can’t tell you if you’ve won if I can’t contact you!

This blog hop runs through Wednesday night at midnight, so be sure to enter before then! The winner will be notified by e-mail.

Now that you’ve entered my contest, come meet all my other blog friends and see what fun things they are offering!

I'm a new follower and don't do twitter, so I was going to like you on Facebook, but I can't seem to find a like button. (Help?) I found your page and could add you as a friend, but I didn't see a like button anywhere. Do you have more than one Facebook page?
Thanks for the giveaway!

  Gayle, you are right…I didn't word that well. You could add me as a friend on facebook, or you could go to my other facebook page to click like. Here is the link: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/TheDamselinDisDresshttp://www.facebook.com/TheDamselinDisDress<br />This is a page for my self-reliance blog rather than my writing blog but I welcome “likes” there as well. Thank you so much!Margot Hovley <a href="http://www.mynewoldschool.comwww.mynewoldschool.com<br /> http://www.margothovley.com

Hey, I already follow you just about everywhere (even to Dick's!) But I am glad you did this because for some weird reason I wasn't following THIS blog!! So strange!! So I sent out a couple shout outs to you as well (you're tagged in them.) Have a great week, Margot!

Thanks for the giveaway 🙂 Like others I couldn't find the Facebook + the twitter was really hard to find too.. you say its (the@damsel) and there's nothing under that name but under your contact it says @the_damsel so you might want to fix that for anyone else coming by 😉 Would have liked on facebook too if I could have found it 🙂
