Blog Angels ~The Ultimate Xmas Edition~ (Pssssttt... Get Signed Up, You All!)

With all the crazy negativity and just plain meanness happening in the blogosphere recently, I am thankful for Rosie from Craftbotic for heading up a bloggers' project that's goal is only to spread positivity and offer support to fellow bloggers.  Oh, and you do this all anonymously without the expectation that you will get something in return for it.  Better use of anonymity, don't you think? ;) 

I was fortunate that I made the sign-up for Rosie's October Blog Angels, and it was a wonderful experience for me.  (CLICK HERE to read my wrap-up post from the October Blog Angels project.)

Read all the details below (December Blog Angels is being run a bit differently from the October Blog Angels) and get signed up now!  Let's drown out the negative Nellies and their pettiness with some bloggy love and hope, shall we? ;)

The Ultimate edition of Blog Angels is about to start and it promises to be bigger than ever. If you're a veteran Angel then pay close attention as we've thrown the rule book for this round out of the window.

This time it is ALL about the giving. You will sign-up to help a blog of your choice, knowing there might not be any chance of receiving help. Most participants don't do this to be helped so  I am excited what we can, as a community, do to spread the Christmas cheer.

So here are the December rules and the sign up form is right below.

1. Find a blog you want to help in secret - this could be new to you or an existing blogger in need of a boost. Try and give the URL of a reserve blog to help in case your first choice is in hot demand.

2. Fill in the form (on the blog from 10th November!)

3. Wait for an email before 30th November confirming you can help that person. I will make sure that everyone isn't trying to assist the same person.

4. Help them with their blog in secret for one month, committing to commenting a minimum of twice a week. See more advice on what else you can do here.

5. Link up a post summarising what help you have given throughout the first two weeks. (15th December)

6. Link up a reveal post on 30th December and contact your blog to let them know you've been their festive buddy for the month.

Blog Angels December Sign Up Form

If you fancy helping me out in promoting the sign-up, I'd be so grateful. If we had 250 people taking part....well...we'll be a small way to changing the world.....maybe!

Christmas is my favourite time of the year. So what a better way to make my grin 8 feet wide than with helping out?

Wrapping Up My First Blog Angel Experience...

Today my month of being a Blog Angel and having a Blog Angel is coming to a close...  

As some of you all may recall, a couple of weeks ago I revealed who I am a blog angel for.  It was the lovely Julie from White Lights on Wednesdays.  For the first two weeks of October, I was secretly "stalking" her blog- commenting, pinning her awesome recipes, and sharing some of her blog posts.  I continued to do these things for the last two weeks of October, only no longer in secret. ;)  I got a little crazy giddy when I saw that Anderson Live had favorited the tweet I sent out about Julie's 10 Haunting Halloween Decorations post.  I thought for sure that it might end up on their PIN-TOBER SPOOKTACULAR board (how cool would have that been??).  But I guess Julie and I will have to settle for having the tweet favorited since I have yet to have seen her post pinned to the show's board. 

Julie also hopped on over to my blog and participated in my The BIG 300 All Treats (No Tricks!) Giveaway celebrating my blog reaching over 300 followers this past month.  I am hoping she got a few new followers, Likes, and readers in return. ;)

As I found out a couple of weeks ago, Sandra from Vegan Mother Hubbard is my October blog angel.  (To see her reveal post, CLICK HERE.)  Sandra has been an awesome blog angel! :)  She has become a regular reader and commenter on my blog, and her mad Pinning skills has been driving traffic to my recipe posts.  Some might say that Sandra would be an unlikely angel for me.  She is vegan. And well... I love meat.  But she has supported me in every way that she can... you know, minus the promoting my meat-themed recipes. ;)  We actually have a plan in the works for her to post a few veganized versions of a couple of my recipes, so be on the lookout for those before too long!

My very first Blog Angel experience has been a wonderful one, and I will scrambling to get in on the December one as soon as sign-ups are open on November 10th.  

If you are interested in signing up for the next round of Blog Angels, make sure you read THIS POST and follow Rosie at CraftboticQ.
